How To Choose Your First Bowling Ball | Brunswick Twist | Ideal First Ball??

[@peterthebowler]

Great video guys for the beginners. You touched on it slightly but the Twist is the best bet due to it matching up well with lane conditions that would most likely be played on by beginners (as opposed to sport and challenge shots).

[@markbayha9380]

My first reactive ball was the Rhino Red and gold.

[@travisholly3797]

That rhino hooks a lot more than the twist, and it's a pretty good ball for the price.

[@Late4school]

My first and only ball so far is the red and gold rhino

[@ricokimbro4316]

Just got my 1st bowling ball and it’s the rhino red/black/gold. Still learning the ropes.

[@leanderremixs5135]

I got the navy and silver rhino and with having a higher rev rate its nice because it wont over hook

[@dannydethanos6994]

Did you like it? I just ordered one the other day

[@donhughes9743]

My first ball was a purple Brunswick Rhino pro. I began my no-thumb style delivery with this ball in the late 90's. My all time high score of 267 is with this ball and still stands today.

[@bkurtz8770]

I have a black one I've had forever and a pearlized gray rhino also had forever

hey @Don Huges, i noticed your name because you hold the house record at my local lanes. Congrats man!!

@@jasonkelly623 I think you have me confused with someone else by the same name. I don't hold any records that I'm aware of. But thanks for reaching out.

First ball overall was an Ebonite Maxim (plastic ball). I bowled varsity in HS with it and got more than a few 200+ games with that alone. First reactive was an Ebonite Ice. Our house lanes were old school wood, and considered the toughest lanes in the conference to shoot on.

[@SirJoelsuf1]

First resin ball was a Brunswick Attitude 2. LOVED that ball, shot my first 250 game and 670 set with it. Was way more controllable than what is out now. Something I want to see make a comeback is Particle coverstocks. I had an Ebonite XXXCel and it hooked on EVERYTHING. There was one night in league where there was 10 more feet of oil than usual (an INSANE 55' instead of the usual 45' for house shots) and the 220+ average guys all struggled to shoot 500s. I shot a 640 or so with the XXXCel.

[@jrproshop]

Particle balls really dug into the lane and hooked a lot! The downside is that they cracked way more often than traditional reactive resin balls. A lot of the newer Hammer balls have carbon fibre built into the coverstock, which somewhat replicates what particle balls used to do, but are far less likely to crack.

[@dmenacegc]

My first reactive ball is the hustle pbr that I got two months ago

[@gregnapier1181]

My first reactive ball was a Brunswick Mastermind Scholar. Still a ball I put in my tournament bags to this day.

[@johnniec2861]

great ball

[@glizzy_5065]

I bought my first ball today and it was the lime twist bought it right after I watched this video

[@alexanderbreen4010]

First Reactive Ball was the Electrify Pearl from Storm, it was also the ball I shot my first 200 game with

[@adz3331]

Nice, my first reactive ball is a storm tropical surge. Shot my first 200 game about two weeks ago with it. Great entry level ball

[@braineater713]

Shot 226 today with tropical surge

[@shf5998]

Blue and silver twist was my first ball

[@sonnymumford2750]

Twist is very close to re-carnation of the 2010 Brunswick Slingshot

[@wilmingtonian18]

My 1st reactivate ball is the ball I still use today. It is my motive villain. Just scored a 266 woth it in league last night

[@Coop8489]

Just got my first reactive ball, a 13 pound red yellow and black rhino, I love it

[@maanalmuzaini4938]

good luck bowling, hope u like the sport :) its really fun once you learn wt you need to know

[@jakegarlits]

Bought my first bowling ball 3 days ago. It just so happens that my first bowling ball is the Brunswick Twist in the same color scheme that you used in this video! Love it so far

[@attilathorbjornsson1519]

I've got my eyes on getting that one as well in the same color scheme! So how do you like it so far? If I wanted to throw a ball with hook, I would get the Motiv Pride, but I'm a straight bowler. Also looked at the Motiv Laser Sniper for a spare ball or Viz a Ball with your own design.

[@andybell490]

Bought a Rhino as my first reactive ball last year. Even though I now have some higher performance balls, I still like to throw it on occasion.

[@officerdaughtry]

My wife and I love our new Twist balls.

[@steviep1871]

My first reactive ball was the orange/blue swirl Brunswick Groove Reactive.

[@S550fredo]

GREAT VIDEO! Very helpful for a guy just getting in the game. Best video on KZbin for a beginner bowler

[@scottythompson940]

My bowling ball I use is the Brunswick igniter soild 14 pound bowling ball with reality soild 3.0 I use in my adult bowling league now and my radical the spy plastic spare bowling ball,14 pound bowling ball with dynamic core technology in the bowling ball more hitting power more spare at time I'm 31 years old born February 13 1991 so 3 years I been in my Thursday night bowling league from 2018-till 2021-22 present but been in a youth junior bowling league team since 2003-12 I live in superior Wisconsin the name of the bowling alley I bowl at is village lanes in superior Wisconsin

[@aaronjasonmusic]

Brandon is an excellent presenter ! I love watching his vids, even though I don’t throw Brunswick balls

[@VincentsVideos]

what do you throw then

[@aaronlakanen4041]

I bought a hammer pearl and solid nova in the mid 90’s. Have a twist in my bag for controlling the lane As my weakest piece!

[@StoreyTyler]

This is a great video for beginners to see. This similar advice from my local pro helped me learn. My first reactive ball was a Hammer Taboo Jet Black. I miss that ball, it was a beautiful strike ball once I learned to control it.

[@JoshCosta]

Over 10 years ago I started with plastic. Then I got a tropical heat!!! They don’t even make them anymore. I agree beginners should use entry level reactive like twist or tropical surge or whatever it is

[@marymckenna5524]

I am an adult beginner and my first bowling ball is the Brunswick Twist. I wanted it because it is affordable and has a low hook potential, so I will be able to practice hooks with it and keep it as a spare ball in the future. Been bowling a couple months.

[@rodefertruckin]

My 1st reactive was the AMF Nighthawk 2nd release

[@deadpolymers3416]

Columbia Piranha/C solid was my first new reactive ball.

[@Falascoa]

My first ball is storm tropical storm. I just got a plastic ball for spares. On Saturday I went and had a lesson, learned two handed. 🤞 League tomorrow night

[@davidmeeks2405]

Just got my first, a urethane ball. Thanks for affirming my choice. With some research and decussions with a few bowlers I determined that the way and speed which I throw a 16 lb ball. Urethane was the best option. 2 thumbs up

[@TheHappiPabis]

My first ball was a used Storm Phase II. Love it!

[@laserprop]

I'm 68 years old. My first ball, at the age of 12 (1966), was a rubber 10 lb. Ebonite Gold Dot - purchased by my parents at the recommendation of the alley's resident pro, who didn't believe in that newfangled plastic. I averaged in the 150s. I just tried to throw the ball as straight as possible. The kids today are SO much better.

[@justinhouston7215]

Ordered a black/gold twist last week. I'm about to go get it drilled and try it now, this video got me hyped.

[@carljenkins3648]

My first reactive ball is a Brunswick rhino red black and gold just ordered it

[@Htiger3841705]

My first reactive ball was the OG Hy-road. That is still a perfect ball for the beginning bowler.

[@MasterBigBass]

First Reactive was an Ebonite Endure. Severely underrated ball.

[@vortexgaming322]

My first reactive that I bought new was my ghost pearl, I have the black and red black widow pearl as well but it was a hand me down from my old shop teacher from high school

[@dylanfry7978]

My first ball was a Power Groove reactive lol. Second was a Storm Hot Rod SS super sport. Most people probly have no idea what those balls are. And I’m still in my 20s lol

[@brandondriley]

I had both the Power Groove and the Plum Pro. Both good choices back in the mid to late 2000's

[@MrOsmodeus]

my first reactive was a power groove, the yellow chrome one. i kept it on for spares long after i upgraded until they both got stolen from my car.

[@bradydamron7111]

Track kinetic

[@FalcoODonnell]

First ball was a 900 Global Boost for me! I miss that ball a lot...

[@ArturShop]

My first reactive was a Columbia Beast. Great video too. I had the older brother to the Twist years ago(Slingshot). Only ball I ever threw 300 with. It unfortunately cracked. Hopefully the Twist will be just as good.

[@gusreyes5447]

The Twist was my first given to me by my wife with love ❤️ and I am happy with it!

[@logancheek4747]

My first ball was the OG DV8 Dude. Such a smooth ball that I wish I still had in my arsenal.

[@brandondriley]

Now that was a great ball. Probably in the top 5 balls I have ever thrown

[@WombzyR6]

Yeah I still have mine to this day, its absolutely incredible 👌

[@Cdcd4393]

I have the blue, silver, black Rhino. I use it primarily as my spare ball now that I have a black widow 2.0

[@jamesthomas3921]

First reactive was X-caliber. The ball that started the reactive era. It was a big change in thinking after throwing urethane for years.

[@ThePokersurfer]

My first BRAND NEW reactive bowling ball is the 14 lb Brunswick Twist in the purple and red color scheme from the Orleans Pro Shop recommendation and can't wait to try her out! Great content very thorough, thank you!

[@jasonschaal8968]

After throwing the Hy-road. I would recommend that to anyone. very Versatile.

[@carlosmedina9281]

What a great vid! Brando did a great job. Looks like I'm grabbing a Twist! Thanks

[@randomphonevideos]

First reactive ball - Tropical Storm - blue/green Second reactive ball - Black Widow 1.0 - solid black Loved them both.

[@Starwarman1]

Tropical storm really did me well when I was a young lad. Laid down the fundamental to start laying the big hook down when I got older

[@setnthahookwitstubbs297]

Black widow was just giving to me.....imma try it out!!!!

[@Squid165]

Never took bowling seriously outside of house balls until two months ago. I've now got a Gauntlet, Gauntlet Fury, and a Gauntlet Thor on the way. The Thor only sold in South Korea. My most recent best score was 214.

[@PantherBlitz]

Those are fairly strong asym balls. Those were the first balls that you went to after house balls?

[@rileyferguson7761]

I just recently got into bowling with some friends and bought my first ball about 2 weeks ago. I actually got two though. The Columbia 300 The Beast and the Storm Ice. I think they make a good combo for someone like me who just bowls recreationally and I just got my PR yesterday at 259.

[@zacheryilacqua3547]

Nice.. Thats my PR too!!

[@quintingoynes704]

My first was a Twist, but I just got a WD today for spares. I'm ready for my spare shots to actually go straight. Lol.

[@JobraKai]

First ball (back from a 15 year hiatus) Pyramid enchanted path. Already works great for spares, just need to "buy more hook" as you stated. This video really made so much sense to me the way you explained everything. Thank you!

[@nationalgeo2191]

I’m planning getting a zen. Has the shape I’m looking for, that wide consistent shape and a decently strong backend.

[@drakedbz]

My first "real" bowling ball I got (that wasn't a kid's ball or a hand-me-down) was a Columbia 300 Freeze. Red and blue swirls. This was ages ago, maybe 10-12 years or so? Other than that, I have an ancient urethane ball my dad gave me prior to the Freeze. It's an old maroon colored Hammer. It's probably 25-30 years old. Also have a plastic ball of course.

[@Skdjdjdjsjxjxjd]

Srry for the long essay 😂 The very first REAL bowling ball I got that can actually carry on the pocket is the urethane hammer I needed a new ball bc the one I was using at tht time was complete GARBAGE so I bought it off him bc he couldn’t figure the ball out but the first night I bowled with it I had it all figured out 😂 my new highest score in bowling is a 255 an im honestly working my ass off on trying to go pro but with this ball its drilled for a left hander an im a right 2 finger bowler 🤷‍♂️ I haven’t had a problem with the ball yet I just keep having problems with my release point and maintaining my ball speed an also forgetting to follow thru my shots an tht leads to me getting very pissed bc I forgot tht I forgot to follow thru on my shots an once I sped the speed up a bit an followed thru its golden. Yesterday I had bowling I bowled a 163,201,and I think 181 im not sure on the first or last game but im thinking thats right I also shot a 532 total pin count (not bad) but (not very good) uk?

[@joeanderson9267]

My first real bowling ball was the beast... and now I see they re-released it more than 20+ years later...

[@chrisboz8423]

I actually have a 12lb Brunswick twist. I love that ball

[@imthepopcornman]

it's been a decade since I took it half way seriously only owned one ball and nearly forgotten everything I learned. This was immensely helpful.

[@chadhusted3251]

My first, and only, reactive ball that I have, for now, is the blue, black, and silver, Brunswick Rhino. My spare ball that I have is a TZone. I think it's the Arctic Blast color scheme.

[@gtabraham3454]

I have the red ,black , and gold rhino and i love it

[@whiplashxe]

Just starting to get more actively into bowling. I'd been using a 10lb Ebonite Gyro Magnum plastic I picked up somewhere around 10 yrs ago. I just swapped it out for a 14lb Vapor Zone Hybrid as my first reactive ball.

[@Schaafari]

My first ball was the track 930T I credit it so much for the reason I love solids over pearls or hybrids

[@scottfeebeck3855]

Meanwhile a 16 year old kid with a 5 dollar plastic ball from a yard sale shows up and bowls back to back 260 plus.

[@sgtmac62]

Or a house bowler using a😮 plastic Widow has the best average in the local league.

[@scottadams2800]

I started bowling this year and both balls I own are the Brunswick Rhino blue and silver.

[@tyhall131]

First ball was an Ebonite Tornado followed by a Columbia 300 Wild back in the early 2000s

[@stephenmaydole3084]

My first reactive ball was/is the motive EJ Tacket pearl

[@JohnSmith-oj6ir]

Good story, lad. I'm 74, haven't bowled more than a couple of times in the last six or seven years. I want to get into a spring league. I'm going with a 14 pound 'entry level reactive.'

[@2Days16Hours]

I am a little late to the party, but my family and I have been doing a lot of weekend bowling in our home town with the house balls. We have been bowling for about a year now and are looking to get our own balls now. Thank you so much for helping point us in good direction.

My first Reactive ball Was the ROTO Grip Winner best ball ever love than thing

[@TrandafirRuby]

started bowling 1 year ago. If we are going with reactive and not urethane [pitch purple] i bought the pyramid blood moon and the storm omega crux at the same time. I have moved onto motive since they have been proven to be super durable to me compared to storm and roto grip. Game 15 with idol synergy and finger holes cracked XD. Game 50 with iq tour emerald, the pin guard came down and it grinded up the track DX. I've hit the pin guard before harder when it came down on accident on my motive balls, only a few scratches but it didn't grind up the track.

You can definitely get around 15-16 boards of hook from plastic balls.
