Brunswick Power Groove Red/Teal Bowling Ball

(5 reviews) Write a Review

Plastic slips. The Groove grips. And grip is exactly what you need to improve your game. When you’re ready to step up from plastic, get in the Groove. Ready to start hooking the ball? Move up from Plastic to Reactive coverstock technology. Compared to Plastic, Reactive coverstock technology increases traction and hooking action in the oil, and Reactive coverstocks can be sanded or shined to create large differences in hook potential. Reactive coverstocks also respond more aggressively to dry lane surfaces than Urethane coverstocks, increasing backend hooking action and hitting power. Coverstock: These three Power Groove Reactive balls feature a factory polished version Brunswick’s popular PowrKoil 17 Reactive coverstock. Factory polishing helpes create a more skid/snap reaction that saves most of its hooking action for the back part of the lane. First used on the Sapphire Zone, PowrKoil 17 is the strongest Reactive coverstock ever used on a Groove class ball. Core: The Power G

    MI PRIMER BOLA, JAMAS TE DESHACES DE ELLA AHORA LA UTILIZO PARA SPARES Y EL PINO 10, EN RARAS OCASIONES LA UTILIZO PARA PRIMER TIRO A MENOS QUE LA PISTA NO TENGA ACEITE. SUAVE ARCO Y GOLPEO EN CONDICIONES DE ACEITE MEDIO A LIGERO PERO UTILIZABLE USANDOLA A BAJA VELOCIDAD, GRAN GOLPEO EN CONDICIONES DE ACEITE LIGERO, GRAN BOLA PARA TIROS DE SPARE Y EL PINO 10 EN CUALQUIER CONDICION. ES UNA BOLA PARA PRINCIPIANTES, TE AYUDA MUCHO A RECONOCER LA CANTIDAD DE ACEITE EN LA PISTA Y A SABER EL ANGULO DE LA MUÑECA QUE DEBERAS TIRAR CON TU PRIMER BOLA CUANDO ESTAS CALENTANDO.

    this ball may be good for begginers on completely dry lanes. on any other condition this ball will not hook at all. i throw the ball at 13.5 mph and im a cranker. it will not hook for me. ive tried pounds from 12-15 and none of them truly hooked worth the 60 bucks i payed for it. it works well as a spare ball. i can nail every ten pin i leave with it. if u want a ball that hooks dont get this. especially if u hook with any kind of speed. beginners will find this ball to hook very well. i did but i soon needed a better hooking ball because this ball no longer hooked for me.

    The ball is drilled close to label for me, which places the pin above and the right of ring finger, cg a little to the right of grip center. This ball was initially purchased to allow me to try out a drop in weight from 16 to 15 lbs. It has instead replaced every other ball I own (Reaction Rip; Xception; Shock Zone Pro; Primal Instinct; Red & Burgundy Urethane Hammers, and Red Pearl Ebonite Gyro; Although I really only use the Rip, Zone, and Hammers), it is simply that great a matchup for ME. With my slow ball speed it can be used on any oil length or level so long as there's SOME BACKEND. Longer/oilier move right, shorter lighter move in. The core creates a good few inches of flare for me, but I can kill it easier to roll straight at spares compared to any other ball I own. It simply a great, underrated piece of equipment.

    this ball is great for sport shot when i wanna play up second arrow. lately in the league i have been playing inside 3rd arrow out to 3rd. this ball comes in at an outragoues angle that will take out everything in its way. problem is it wasnt supposed to hook this much though. this also taught me that many balls that arent supposed to hook a lot will take off if you get a little hand in them. so basically this ball is great if you are at a flooded flooded FLOODED LIKE THE STREET AROUND THE CORNER AFTER THE BIG STORM...no amout of oil is for this ball.

    this is a great ball watching it going down the lane. the colors really blend together while it rolls. everyone was turning and watching this beauty rolling down the lane. of course it still hooks more than what i thought it would. i've been trying to find a ball that wont take off and allow me to play around second arrow. this ball isnt it. i admit it does hook less but only by a board. i was playing third arrow one board left of where i play with my boost, killer instict sanded, and ultimate inferno. overall this ball is great cause does have some nice hitting power but it doesnt hook less<s
