A name associated with the big B since 1986. The original Black Rhino still has raw power on tap. Although this is a traditional three-piecer, it smashes racks like a two-piece reactive with lower pin trajectory and great mix. The best conditions for this ball are medium to medium-light oil with dry backs (no hockey sticks here!), playing second arrow down and in. I found this ball a few years ago; it has the 1989 PBA National Championship PRO AM logo on it. I use it for spares and the occasional "compare and contrast" against the reactives in my arsenal. A great starter ball for those graduating from plastic and not quite ready for resin; another great vintage from Brunswick.

I owned two of these, both bought in 1990. The Black Rhino was a beauty to hold and watch go down the lane. The power provided by the urethane cover stock and 3 piece core in comparison to the balls of the same time period was hard to beat. This ball provided me with the ability to crank the ball in medium to heavy oil, with a consistent action we bowlers needed to overcome inconsistent lane conditions. Minor corrections did NOT mean major back end disaster, as some of today's reactive and particle balls deliver. This was also the first ball that allowed me to bowl multiples of 800 series in a single year using different lines at different lanes. The Black Rhino brings back only good memories, as it probably does for many others that are visiting this link just to reminisce about their experiences with their Rhino. The 3 piece core is not up to today’s standards, but that can also be personal preference and opinion. I was confident in that ball, and we all know confidence can me
