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
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.
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.
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.
I’ve just recently gotten into bowling and i am a two handed and was getting very frustrated when I couldn’t get good hook with a house ball! This video helped tremendously! Thankyou!
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.
@@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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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. :)
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.
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
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.
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 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
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.
Great video! Getting back into the sport after many years (was doing some leagues when I was a teenager) and I'm set on the Rhino after watching this video.
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)
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.
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
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.
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
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!!
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.
I just got the red/black rhino (15 lbs) with only finger holes. I have to really step far right to prevent hooking into the gutter. My revs are just under 450, but my ball speed is 11 mph. I assume I should practice to increase ball speed but should I try to raise up my revs ?
No Rhino here, but I do own a gold/black Twist. When the lanes become dry as the Sahara Desert, it's the perfect ball for me. Drilled pin down with 2000 sanding on it.
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.
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.
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!
Just bought a magenta, purple and navy Rhino for myself after watching this video. And to answer the question: black urethane, teal reactive, grey reactive and gold Rhino when I was a junior.
I just got my blue and silver rhino drilled this morning. I kind of wish I had gotten the twist since I really can't control this thing yet. I only have a few games on it, but i felt i was having to move super far to the left and throw it as hard as I could. Oh well, just need more practice.
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.
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.
@@jrproshop Okay! Thank you. Hope Brunswick updates their data on their website and inform other suppliers that this is a solid ball. The ball looks good!
The rhino is great for league. Twist is awesome for everyone or for lower speed players and playing on light oil. I have both. Such great bowling balls. Get both of them, add in the tzone and you have a 3 ball arsenal for league. Remember you can always adjust surface.
General question I have: How would you compare the axiom pearl to the Phaze III, they feel similar but different when I throw them both drilled on the same layout. 2 handed by the way
I got a rino and I'll get it tomorrow it's nice to see how it works but I'm still a beginner and have a old ball my grandma gave me. I'm joined a league so I am switching balls. I went with rino because it has a more curable core.
I had the blue and blah rhino ball. Got rid of it because it was harder to control. Currently I got the red black and gold ball and it’s definitely much better to control but still learning how to use it
The only Rhino I've had was a Rhino Pro Steel. I recently got a Twist for my local house and it's been a great choice. I tend to be rev dominate. Being left handed it allows me to throw more doen5 and in style
I’m bowling in my first league since about 10 years ago. When I was playing in league I was like a 190 average. Which one of these two balls would you recommend for me to restart back up with?
great review, curious what you had the no thumb magenta/purple/navy Rhino drilled for a layout? i couldn't get my orange/green/black Rhino to react like that. mine was over hooking the whole time because i also have hi rev rates and also 1 hand no thumb bowl. info would be very helpful..thanks!
Simoo convinced me to get that pearl Rhino! I got it in a different color though. And I love it. I have a similar bowling style and it matched up perfect for what I wanted.
i currently have a cobalt/aqua/teal and i'm looking for the Melee jab blood red. it's a lovely ball and i found out they don't make it anymore (from what i was told) so i gotta 2nd hand buy it, wish me luck
My problem is the rhino only has a core in the heavier weights. I was used a 11lbs house ball and was sold a 10lbs rhino for my first ball. But it didn't have a core. So I could never get it to hook. As I was learning and didn't know how to properly do it(and still struggle at times). So everyone watching may not realize your ball will not perform like my rhino performed. It can be deceiving to amateurs like my self.
@JR Pro Shop, Im confused you guys said the purple one is a solid? From what im seeing its a pearl..and the black/red one is the solid. Did anyone else catch this? Or am i wrong?
Ok to answer the question for this... I did have a rhino when I had 14lb equipment it was the green and silver one and I WISH THEY NEVER GOT RID OF IT that was one of the best bowling balls I had ever thrown
Great vid guys!! Never owned a Rhino but my brother had a Purple Rhino Pro reactive years ago. Any chance Barks reviews the new Radical The Spy or give the upcoming Max Results ball a go? More curious to see how The Spy rolls with it's plastic cover and weight block, wonder if it'll be straight enough to shoot spares with. lol
I had a Cobalt Rhino back in the 90's. The next ball after that was a black Rhino Pro. Years later I got the vintage edition of the Rhino Pro gold. Now my wife is using one of the newer Rhinos.
I got the black rhino and the gold and black twist. The twist for me is a 9 pin machine. It's super clean but with the straighter angle in the fronts is just goes by the 9 pin constantly for me. Its pin up so, I think a lower pin would help me with that one. The rhino for me is fairly strong. It's in the ballpark of the hustle ink. But the rhino is very susceptible to carry down. Yes, the hustle is a solid, but it's a similar shape. And the hustle is easier to control and blends out the wet/dry better. I am very curious about that new solid rhino.. it may be the best one yet.
@@brandondriley thanks for the suggestion, but I tried that. It made it a bit too early for that spot in my bag. I wanted something high rg that gets me into the same part of the lane as urethane for shorter patters. But with just more backend. It does that perfectly, but the 9 pins are ridiculous. That's why I think the lower pin is better for that ball.. thanks bud!
damn, this sucks, just made my choice harder, was trying to decide between the solid raw hammer and the purple rhino. just recently switched to 2-handed after decades of being a conventional 1 hander, loved the rhinos when they first came out, i still have the teal rhino(the original from the 90's) but owned the black and purple(pro) as well,
@@theblacklebowski3490 my son bought the raw hammer he said i could plug it up and use it plus he bought me a new purple hammer, he made my decision for me. he also got a big bro from cali bowling, im set for a while, LOL
@@theblacklebowski3490 my sons the best in my personal opinion, haven't drilled the purple hammer up yet, it was easier when i wasn't drilling balls up myself, i could always blame the PSO, but now i am the PSO and drilling plugged balls is no big deal, but this will be my first new ball drill for myself and I want it perfect or close to my current old purple.
ive never had one of the new rhinos , in the 80s i had the Teal blue and the Black, then the 90s i had the Purple and Teal Rhino Pros,, ive been pretty much a brunswick guy all my life, in the 2010s i found the Radical Rack attack series to work well for me Mainly the Red Pearl ive had 3, and still have one, they are very similar to the Rhinos now but if i get one the Purple magenta one looks nice i also have the twist but dont have much use for it as the oil seems too much for me to get it back even from the dry on the left side
As someone who mainly uses a Strike King, I'm looking for something that actually reacts less in drier conditions. I also bowl two handed but don't have the ball speed to prevent over hooking on dry lanes. I'm thinking the Twist will be a good ball to prevent over hooking.
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
Such a great house shot ball
Exact ball I throw
Same ball I have. Bought it last year too get back into bowling. Looking to upgrade tho to something more aggressive
I bought the red blk gld pro rhino

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.
I really wish you would re-record this with correct audio. I think more ppl need to be in these balls vs $200-250 and learn how to control the ball.

Would like to see the tropical surge (black/Cherry) too :)

I have the twist bowling ball but my dad has a rhino
My very first ball was the Teal Rhino Pro back in 94 or 95. Loved that ball & wish I had kept it.
I had the teal Rhino back in the 90's. It was a great ball and a really unique color at the time.
My dad gave his rhino....mfg date...'85. It still bully the pins.
I have had my red/black/gold rhino for seven years, still strikes, definitely a great starter ball
It's a great league ball

I actually have the black/gold/red rhino drilled with a little stronger of a layout to be able to turn the corner for those middle games transition.
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.
Going old school - I had 2 teal Rhino Pros; 1 with yellow lettering and 1 with purple lettering
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.
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.
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👍🏽👍🏽
Gold and Purple Rhino Pros as a kid, had a Cobalt urethane for short oil while I still threw 16lbs and the Vintage Gold remake a few years back
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
I have a blue/black rhino was my first have had it for a year now and love it.

Where did you buy it from
Thank you for the good analysis! Based on this video, I’m getting a Twist for my first custom ball.
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.
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
I have probably one of the Original Rhinos. '85. This ball is older than my little sister...lol. It still smacks the pins
The black, red and gold rhino was my first ball. Definitely a good ball to have!
Excited for my first ball I got the black silver and gold twist on the way
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!!
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 have the blue, black, and silver Rhino. Would love to be able to upgrade to something a bit stronger, bit still love my Rhino regardless 🙂
I just got the red/black rhino (15 lbs) with only finger holes. I have to really step far right to prevent hooking into the gutter.
My revs are just under 450, but my ball speed is 11 mph. I assume I should practice to increase ball speed but should I try to raise up my revs ?
We just revived a Teal Rhino Pro pin down. It is awesome from the outside line.
No Rhino here, but I do own a gold/black Twist. When the lanes become dry as the Sahara Desert, it's the perfect ball for me. Drilled pin down with 2000 sanding on it.

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.
How is it coming along with your Rhino? I'm pretty new and have the same mindset, don't wanna outgrow my ball too quickly.
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.
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!
Just bought a magenta, purple and navy Rhino for myself after watching this video.
And to answer the question: black urethane, teal reactive, grey reactive and gold Rhino when I was a junior.
4:32 should I hear him talking?
I just got my blue and silver rhino drilled this morning. I kind of wish I had gotten the twist since I really can't control this thing yet. I only have a few games on it, but i felt i was having to move super far to the left and throw it as hard as I could. Oh well, just need more practice.
Never had a Rhino. I might get the magenta rhino since it hooks more which I need. Thanks and wish you luck and success in your Tournaments.
Another great video i have only really bowled Storm balls would be nice to try some thing else
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.
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.
@@jrproshop Okay! Thank you. Hope Brunswick updates their data on their website and inform other suppliers that this is a solid ball. The ball looks good!
Yea. My uncles old Green Rhino Pro when I first started with 15lbs
nice video, where can someone go to try out different balls, do proshops let you test?
The rhino is great for league. Twist is awesome for everyone or for lower speed players and playing on light oil. I have both. Such great bowling balls. Get both of them, add in the tzone and you have a 3 ball arsenal for league. Remember you can always adjust surface.
Another ball to check out is the radical counter attack pearl or solid.
Exactly what I’ll have
@@GChannews highly recommend
General question I have: How would you compare the axiom pearl to the Phaze III, they feel similar but different when I throw them both drilled on the same layout. 2 handed by the way
Axiom pearl has a strong backend, I use it as my main strike ball. I'd recommend this more than the phase 3
I do have a rhino and it's the blue and silver pearl cover stock and I really like it sometimes it's the first ball out of my bag
No, never had a Rhino, but I like what i'm seeing . definitely will get one now. I like the Gold and black Rhino for my style. thanks guys.
I just got a Rhino pearl. My first ball. It has a lot of hook. I love it.
I'd recommend the twist as well
I got a rino and I'll get it tomorrow it's nice to see how it works but I'm still a beginner and have a old ball my grandma gave me. I'm joined a league so I am switching balls. I went with rino because it has a more curable core.
I had the blue and blah rhino ball. Got rid of it because it was harder to control. Currently I got the red black and gold ball and it’s definitely much better to control but still learning how to use it
The only Rhino I've had was a Rhino Pro Steel. I recently got a Twist for my local house and it's been a great choice. I tend to be rev dominate. Being left handed it allows me to throw more doen5 and in style
Ben je Nederlands ?
I will soon also buy a twist because every time I come to bowling lanes that hook too much, I can't get a high score I hope that twist will do well.
Red, gold, & black Rhino. Drilled it 85 x 5.25 x 35 for a late night second shift 4 game scratch league. It was disgusting and I averaged 224 with it.
Nice video. I am curious how they would compare to the radical rack attacks
I have the counter attack and it's in between the rhino and the twist.
I’m bowling in my first league since about 10 years ago. When I was playing in league I was like a 190 average. Which one of these two balls would you recommend for me to restart back up with?
Will you be able to talk about bowling gloves so we can keep the hand Street I’d appreciate it thank you
great review, curious what you had the no thumb magenta/purple/navy Rhino drilled for a layout? i couldn't get my orange/green/black Rhino to react like that. mine was over hooking the whole time because i also have hi rev rates and also 1 hand no thumb bowl. info would be very helpful..thanks!
Just did a normal 60° label layout to keep it simple
@@jrproshop I guess I was looking for the specific layout #'s, like a 4 3/4x 4 1/2x 4 1/2 2ls system layout...
I have a twist and am still learning haven’t got the hook going yet. What would be your suggestion for a good mid ball for beginners in league play.
Simoo convinced me to get that pearl Rhino! I got it in a different color though. And I love it. I have a similar bowling style and it matched up perfect for what I wanted.
i currently have a cobalt/aqua/teal and i'm looking for the Melee jab blood red. it's a lovely ball and i found out they don't make it anymore (from what i was told) so i gotta 2nd hand buy it, wish me luck
I bought the black gold and red rhino last week before i watch this. My decision was made upon color and now I am like I lucked out.
My problem is the rhino only has a core in the heavier weights. I was used a 11lbs house ball and was sold a 10lbs rhino for my first ball. But it didn't have a core. So I could never get it to hook. As I was learning and didn't know how to properly do it(and still struggle at times). So everyone watching may not realize your ball will not perform like my rhino performed. It can be deceiving to amateurs like my self.
Im at the collegiate level and i’m looking for a weaker ball, this helped me a little bit on my decision
I wasn't able to hear the discussion on each ball, only music.
@JR Pro Shop, Im confused you guys said the purple one is a solid? From what im seeing its a pearl..and the black/red one is the solid. Did anyone else catch this? Or am i wrong?
Ok to answer the question for this... I did have a rhino when I had 14lb equipment it was the green and silver one and I WISH THEY NEVER GOT RID OF IT that was one of the best bowling balls I had ever thrown
I love my green silver rhino
Great vid guys!! Never owned a Rhino but my brother had a Purple Rhino Pro reactive years ago. Any chance Barks reviews the new Radical The Spy or give the upcoming Max Results ball a go? More curious to see how The Spy rolls with it's plastic cover and weight block, wonder if it'll be straight enough to shoot spares with. lol
The Maximum Results certainly looks intriguing. Brandon is gonna do a review of The Spy. He has something really cool in mind for that video!
I have the teal rhino pro
I had a Cobalt Rhino back in the 90's. The next ball after that was a black Rhino Pro. Years later I got the vintage edition of the Rhino Pro gold. Now my wife is using one of the newer Rhinos.
I have the teal rhino pro
I got the black rhino and the gold and black twist. The twist for me is a 9 pin machine. It's super clean but with the straighter angle in the fronts is just goes by the 9 pin constantly for me. Its pin up so, I think a lower pin would help me with that one. The rhino for me is fairly strong. It's in the ballpark of the hustle ink. But the rhino is very susceptible to carry down. Yes, the hustle is a solid, but it's a similar shape. And the hustle is easier to control and blends out the wet/dry better. I am very curious about that new solid rhino.. it may be the best one yet.
Hit your twist with a 3k pad to smooth it out. It’s what I did to my L&L after my vid
@@brandondriley thanks for the suggestion, but I tried that. It made it a bit too early for that spot in my bag. I wanted something high rg that gets me into the same part of the lane as urethane for shorter patters. But with just more backend. It does that perfectly, but the 9 pins are ridiculous. That's why I think the lower pin is better for that ball.. thanks bud!
Still have my OG Gold RHINO and the Teal RHINO. Good balls. Have awards scores with both.
damn, this sucks, just made my choice harder, was trying to decide between the solid raw hammer and the purple rhino. just recently switched to 2-handed after decades of being a conventional 1 hander, loved the rhinos when they first came out, i still have the teal rhino(the original from the 90's) but owned the black and purple(pro) as well,
Did you decide on which one?
@@theblacklebowski3490 my son bought the raw hammer he said i could plug it up and use it plus he bought me a new purple hammer, he made my decision for me. he also got a big bro from cali bowling, im set for a while, LOL
@@haynlavaboy You have a good Son my friend. Roll on. I heard that purple hammer is a monster.
@@theblacklebowski3490 my sons the best in my personal opinion, haven't drilled the purple hammer up yet, it was easier when i wasn't drilling balls up myself, i could always blame the PSO, but now i am the PSO and drilling plugged balls is no big deal, but this will be my first new ball drill for myself and I want it perfect or close to my current old purple.
ive never had one of the new rhinos , in the 80s i had the Teal blue and the Black, then the 90s i had the Purple and Teal Rhino Pros,, ive been pretty much a brunswick guy all my life, in the 2010s i found the Radical Rack attack series to work well for me Mainly the Red Pearl ive had 3, and still have one, they are very similar to the Rhinos now but if i get one the Purple magenta one looks nice i also have the twist but dont have much use for it as the oil seems too much for me to get it back even from the dry on the left side
GREAT VID.... I WISH WE COULD SEE YOUR BALL SPEED
I have a 900 global reality we already have been bowling with out of the Box finished for 2 years should I put a finish on it yes or no
As someone who mainly uses a Strike King, I'm looking for something that actually reacts less in drier conditions. I also bowl two handed but don't have the ball speed to prevent over hooking on dry lanes. I'm thinking the Twist will be a good ball to prevent over hooking.
The Strike Kings are very comparable to the newer Rhinos, so the Twist would be a good step down in performance
