REVIEW

Since the Silver Streaks were one of my favorite balls and the Nomads use the Rotary core that was in the Silver Streaks I have been looking forward to these releases for some time.

The Nomad solid with the layout that I used is really clean through the fronts with a strong mid-lane reaction. Quite the reaction I was expecting. A very versatile ball motion that can be used on multiple types of lane patterns by many types of bowlers.

The Nomad Pearl was surprising. I was expecting a “skid/flip” reaction with this ball, but to my surprise the reaction on the back is very smooth for a pearl cover. It is still cleaner than the solid but gives a strong and very controllable move in the back.

These two balls compliment each other better than any 2 releases I have seen in some time. After starting in league with the solid, about the middle of the 2nd game the heads started to burn. I was able to change to the Pearl and stay almost in the exact same spot as where i started.

These two balls are great additions to the already great Roto-Grip line!

 

Fall Leagues

07 Aug

Fall leagues are about to start. Time to start preparing for that fall season. Here is a short checklist to help make sure you have everything you need.

- Do you need to have your hand checked? It is good to check your fit every 6 months or so.
- Check your inserts and slug, if they are worn it is probably time to have them replaced
- Is your ball in need of resurfacing? If there are alot of scratches in the track then it is time to have that ball resurfaced to make it look new again.
- Are you low on accessories. Bowlers Tape, Rosin, Easy slide, Protection tape, are things you should have in your bag just in case.
- Is it time for a new ball? Technology in this sport moves very rapidly! with the advances in equipment a new ball could quite possibly raise your average that 5 or 10 pins you needed to win that league last year.

The fall season is only a few weeks away, make sure you are prepared for that first night so you are not running around trying to fix your equipment your first night of league.

BOWL WELL!
