Brunswick Twist vs Rhino | Best Selling Bowling Balls | NOT JUST FOR BEGINNERS??

[@lydiacodding9308]

I’m a beginner, learning a late-life obsession. I have a 12lb magenta/navy/pink rhino. I love it!

About to buy a black and blue one from offer up for 45 just got into bowling too

[@dragoon1205]

Yes when i wanted to learn how to start hooking the ball I bought the black blue and silver rhino and i still use it today. I dont think ill ever part ways with it honestly

[@chriskelly509]

Such a great house shot ball

Exact ball I throw

[@damnimhigh]

Same ball I have. Bought it last year too get back into bowling. Looking to upgrade tho to something more aggressive

[@DGK_United]

I bought the red blk gld pro rhino

[@TheScreamokid99]

@dgk_united do you bowl one handed? And if so how do you like that ball?, thinking of getting that one or the magenta/purple one for my first ball to learn to hook with jus a straight bowler at the moment

[@v2micca]

I really appreciate getting the perspectives from the Imoo brothers. I love watching Jungo's game, but I will not be able to physically replicate it. I won't be able to throw as hard as him, or generate nearly the same rev rate. I'm not nearly the bowler that Sean is, but his style of play is more realistic for me to attempt to replicate on the lanes. So, its nice to get his perspective on which balls work well for his game.

[@its_Kris]

I have a teal pearl Rhino. it’s great for playing on dry lanes or far right in league. A very simple, consistent & predictable ball. It works for a straight spare ball too, which is a bonus.

[@jeffreychin9559]

I had the teal Rhino back in the 90's. It was a great ball and a really unique color at the time.

[@sto1vall]

My dad gave his rhino....mfg date...'85. It still bully the pins.

[@jboh2112]

I have both a Rhino and a Twist. I got the Twist first at 15 pounds with conventional grip. I could not get behind the ball for a good hook without some significant wrist pain, but it was solid for spares. I wanted to go lighter but when I went to the pro shop and they recommended switching to finger tip grip and a bit of a different swing. I got a Rhino 15 pounder drilled with finger tip and I absolutely love the ball. Tonight my 3 game average was 30 pins higher than my usual average. Both balls are great for beginners like myself and I recommend talking with your local pro shop about different grips and proper form to improve your game.

[@bodenbrage9580]

the twist is my spare ball. also having the imoo brothers review the balls is good it gives a one and two handed perspective.

[@chriskelly509]

I use the twist on summer league, sport patters,new bowling alley I'm unfamiliar with, or when I'm playing on beat up house shots during black light bowling. Only time it's not in my bag honestly is during winter league.

I bought a black rhino pro back in 1992. At the time it was top of the line. I'm still cranking it 30 years later. It's got a pretty strong reaction and incredible pin action. I see no reason to update or "upgrade" my ball, especially since I am bowling in a league for the 1st time in 20 years. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[@remington1439]

Being a league/tournament player I’m really surprised to see these ball perform as they do.. I like the rhino black/gold and the solid one. Another great Brunswick video. I can find myself using these two on a 32 sports shot... Thanks Brunswick

[@jeffromaine142]

I had a black Rhino back in the 80's. Back then it was one of the ultimate power balls. It was a challenge to throw on house shots though. Love the new looks.

[@cristianortiz4412]

I have the Metallic Blue/Black Rhino, it was the first ball I ever bought and I regret absolutely nothing! It’s a great ball for an entry level bowler👍🏽👍🏽

I have a light blue urethane Rhino from the 80's... Just resurfaced after 34 years and it's still smooth and consistent. I've sinned so bad with this ball in the past: left in cars for months during freezing weather etc. My blue Rhino still loves me.

[@TheOutlawRaider]

My very first ball was the Teal Rhino Pro back in 94 or 95. Loved that ball & wish I had kept it.

[@a1armeddongaming641]

I’m glad I’m finding these videos as I’m looking to replace a ball I had in my teen years. I never bowled in any tournaments but I bowled in high school and my style was similar to Jacob’s. I’d definitely consider the twist as my first (technically second) ball as I get back into bowling

[@Clemensbeauty]

I just got the red, gold, black rhino last week. I'm a terrible beginner bowler and am still getting used to it. I had it drilled with fingertip inserts because that's how I was holding my first ball even though it wasn't drilled to hold that way. I really enjoyed this video, looking forward to watching more of your content.

[@markmiller7737]

i just got a Brunswick Rhino Purple/Pink/White Pearl and i love it i im just now trying to hook my ball to and im already loving it.

Just picked up the black/gold/red Rhino for my first ball. Stoked to use it this week! Beautiful color-way

[@guhdeh]

I currently carry a Gold Rhino in my bag mainly for use if the lanes start to dry up. Recently I haven't used it as my partners haven't been bowling my line and since we are in Covid, we no longer switch lanes for league.

[@williambroome5204]

I use the navy/silver/black rhino, first ball I bought when I got back into bowling. I use it for spares mostly now since I stepped up to a venom shock

[@lumberlikwidator8863]

Back in the late 1980s I had a purple Rhino. It was the only ball I used for 5-6 years. It was my first urethane ball and it worked great for strikes and spares. In about 1993 I got a purple Rhino Pro reactive. It was a great ball, but a little bit touchy on wet/dry. Now I have a blue and silver Twist, and it really helps me get the ball downlane. It hooks too much for right side spares but I got a T-Zone for that. I also have a navy and silver pearl Rhino that is not drilled yet.

[@SIRxxGINGER]

Seeing this video helped me pick my first bowling ball. Got the red, black, gold rhino for me and a twist for the wifey. Just starting out and bowled a 166 at local bowling alley using it(nothing to brag about but, it has me excited lol)

[@jrproshop]

Awesome !

[@deadpolymers3416]

I currently have a red/white/blue Twist at the bottom of my bag. And have had the black/green/orange Rhino in the past, and loved it. The Rhino is always my recommendation to someone asking about of good beginner ball. And I've had old school Rhinos... the Teal Rhino Pro, Rhino Pro LE and Rhino RE... as well as a Gold Rhino VIntage.

[@chriskelly509]

I love the rhino lol it amazes me when people are trying to hook the entire lane and then I go up there with the rhino and shoot a 245... best advice I ever got from a pro shop owner was that people buy a ball that hooks to much for League conditions

As someone that is looking for my first ball, and is starting to develop my own two-handed style, it's very much appreciated that you had a two-handed bowler's perspective in this video.

[@nickm3812]

Which one did you pick and how is it going? I’m starting to bowl a lot I also use two hands. I spin the ball a lot to.

My first ball was a Green Sparkle Rhino. Pretty neat ball. My Dad used his Teal Rhino every league up until he passed away

[@GrumpaBaggins]

Simoo's energy after throwing the red, black, and gold Rhino was enough to convince me. Just ordered one and got it today. Excited to get it drilled and try it out. I have a feeling it will be very similar to my Brunswick Slingshot black and silver pearl, and that's totally fine with me!

[@AGND912]

Got the purple rhino few weeks ago as my first ball thanks to this video, and I also moved to two handed bowling and wow, got to say that for my first ball it has surpassed my expectation for the performance I got for the price, I don't know if I have a high rev rate but that thing hooks like crazy, I can even get far left and make it recover from near gutter shots, Id even say it has more hook than I wanted since it does overhook often, still getting used to it tho, great review and love the ball

[@aaravpatel7418]

Where did you buy it from

[@andrewbecker3592]

my first drilled ball was the Black/Blue/Silver reactive. Still use it when the house shot burns up a little bit, even for 10pin spares on oily lanes.

[@blarneysteve]

I love your videos. I used to bowl casually. 1 to 4 times a year. Spent a few years bowling every week with house balls. Now I am 50 years old and would love to get into bowling at this joint by the house. Your videos have helped me find the ball I think I need to buy. Do y'all have a video that breaks down your terminology? "two boards to the right with the feet one with the eyes", etc?

[@willwoll3138]

I had a lot of Rhino's over the years (especially the Teal). I really loved Brunswick balls but my favorites (at least until back and knee injuries combined with age killed my ball speed) were the Power Groove balls. (I had the Purple/Silver, Maroon/Gold, and Lavendar/Lime). I now throw plastic balls with cores (Pathogen Blue Dot) and a Target Zone (as a strike ball). I am currently looking at the new Radical ball "The Spy" to fill out my bag.

[@jrproshop]

Great timing we are about to film a review for that spy!

[@stevenj78]

Used the Purple Rhino Pro back in the day and still have it.

[@hackprefect]

I had 2 of the old urethane Rhinos. The wine urethane is my usual spare ball, but I've been using a short pin Vintage Inferno with about the same success on my corners. The pearl urethane is pretty nice, too. I have a Twist and I love it. It was a great ball to replace my old Rack Attack after it cracked. I also love the idea of a solid Rhino. It might finally replace my old green/white Misfit.

[@johnniec2861]

i have both a twist and a Pearl rack attack and i think the Rack attack is much stronger than the twist and would be much more comparable to the rhinos

[@neotizzo]

Thank you for the good analysis! Based on this video, I’m getting a Twist for my first custom ball.

I have the blue silver and black rhino. It has my highest game thrown even though I have moved to higher end balls. Still throw it now and then.

[@damnimhigh]

I bought a 12 lb blue silver and black rhino last year as I was looking to get back into bowling as a way to pass my time in Vegas since I don't gamble. I've consistently shot 160-200 since tweaking my thumb hole and gotten more used to how the ball reacts. However I'm looking for something with more pop and weight.

[@kevinsanchez-wr9vm]

@@christoph9191 not a bad ball for beginners. Hook strength is somewhere in between the Twist and the Rhino pearl, since it has a lower diff than the Rhino, but stronger than the Twist. But the shape is super controllable and you can really have it go sideways under the right circumstances. That said, the ball is super smelly. Don't know if that will be a problem lol

[@DoBetter.g]

I just purchased my first bowling ball a few weeks ago and happens to be the black, red, and gold rhino. I love it. I’ve found that it does very well on my local house lanes. At another local center, with much dryer lanes, it hooks much harder. Im also underweight and not sure if maybe that has anything to do with it hooking as hard as it does? I try to move to new lane position, but to no avail.

[@nordattack]

Yes, I have a 1987 Grey Rhino Urethane that I use on drier house shots. Amazing ball to play down and in from the right. Incredible hitting power and loud crack when it hits the pins! They must have used nuts and bolts for filler back then. :)

[@TyKluth61]

Yea. My uncles old Green Rhino Pro when I first started with 15lbs

[@italo512]

Believe it or not, I still have my purple Rhino from around 1992. It's deader than a door nail but can't part ways. Just use it as a straight throw spare ball!!

[@mhub3576]

I had never cleaned my circa 1992 Black Rhino Pro until last week, a few weeks after I began my first league in 20 years. It was pretty oil saturated tbh. I wanted more hook so I dunked it in hot water and Dawn Ultra dishwashing soap, let it soak for 20 minutes, then scrubbed it, rinsed it. Then I took a 250 grit wet sanding sponge to its surface. Definitely regained a good bit of its hook. It destroys the rack when I hit it right or close to right. The pin action is incredible.

[@trentwinston2914]

I just ordered my first bowling ball ever, 4 days ago. I have very little experience, but I'm dying to learn how to hook a bowling ball. I chose the Brunswick Rhino. I thought that it was a good entry-level ball that had abilities well beyond my skill. I could learn how to hook a ball before I stepped up to a Hammer Raw, or beyond to a performance ball. I think learning to hook a Twist or another entry-level ball would be a little tougher. I want to be able to advance to my next ball after a logical amount of time. I didn't want to outgrow my ball within a few months. I expect to try to take a little coaching right up front. That should help me improve a little quicker.

[@clowny2396]

Very good review of these lower level Brunswick balls. I tried various sites to see if there were other videos or info especially on the Rhino series. I think you're the only one featuring the Purple Magenta Navy Rhino. From what I found this is a pearl coverstock R16 with compound and polish. In your video you mentioned it was a solid. It was the most reactive of the balls nonetheless. I bought Storm's Electrify Hybrid and Roto Grip's Hustle RAP. Both have done a good job on the low end.

[@jrproshop]

I think the website just lists them as having the same coverstock, regardless of colour. We we’re told directly from Brunswick that the Magenta/Purple/Navy was a solid with a sparkle additive.
