Jet Black the Magic ball!!
Pros: Snaps hard to the pocket, Makes dry lanes like oil
Cons:Doesnt make me coffee
Best Uses: Dry lanes
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friendWhen lanes break down on game 3 or game 10 and you cant keep your strike ball from jumping across the head pin. Your adjustments are throwing ball out more, moving in, lofting the ball out, throwing the ball faster. These techniques all compromise your original first game ball motion. This jet black taboo takes care of all that. Throw your original shot you did for game one in the dryest of lane conditions your ball will never fail you its magic!! You get the strongest break of any taboo on the market. Carrydown OIL meet your daddy!!
You don’t have anyone else’s hands. Why would you use someone else’s ball?
To protect the floor of a bowling alley and the persons playing, bowling shoes are mandatory. If you have ever been to a bowling alley you have undoubtedly rented those multicolored bowling shoes. These specialized shoes create less wear on the lane. If bowlers were allowed to wear their street shoes then scuffs and scratches would quickly cover the floor and the bowlers stride would not be able to be executed properly.
There is a new brand about to hit the bowling market called DV8. They are coming at the bowling scene with an axe to grind. They are definitely pursuing the edgier side of bowling. They are backed by Brunswick bowling. To some bowlers these days that doesn’t mean much, but DV8 is going to be introducing 3 bowling balls that will surprise many people.
