Bought a Rhino 3 weeks ago. Not disappointed at all. Great pin carry and sounds pretty good too. Definitely value for money
20 years since I bowled league looking to start fresh with a brand new bag, I love my one and only modernish Brunswick ball, this ball looks like a perfect spear and light oil ball. That just made the top of my want list for bag 2021.
I'm a beginner who's only been bowling for a few months, and this is a great ball for me to use. It's ideal while you're learning proper hand position and throwing motion. Couldn't be happier with it.
Pair it with the twist as well. I love the twist, very underrated ball
I've had my Rhino for a little over 7 months and am really liking it. I've upped my average from 150 to about 170, and just today, bowled a 247 with it. Definitely a very good entry level ball for those looking to learn how to hook the ball properly. Only downside is when the lane is heavily oiled, since it works better on dryer lanes, but that only happened a couple times.
Thanks for the update :) Are you still using it?
I've never played league on oily lanes,most are light to a light medium oil...
How? my average is 70 LOL Teach me lol
@@HiveProjected Still using it, but I've gotten the Uppercut to pair with my Rhino, for more medium oiled lanes.
@@detsportsfan18whenever I bowl league I wish I can complain about the lanes being too oily LOL
I got these ball last year and not disappointed yet it maybe for dry lanes but I can also use it on wet to I glad i made the choice to go with these ball I will always be a Brunswick rhino fan
Moved from my rhino to a nova today, and the rhino really helped my with my speed so I could make that huge jump. Bowled a 300 the first game I threw my new nova
Nice shooting!
Thanks for the reply, just ordered the Bruiser.
Thank you guys for what you do. Keep up the good videos.
I bought this ball a week ago. Went from a conventional grip Ebonite Maxim last bowling season, to the Brunswick Rhino fingertip grip. I bowl a little straighter, but up the right hand side and bending into the pocket or Brooklyn. Last season with the Ebonite, I finished with an average of 135. Highest game was 165. Just this week, I bowled a 204 in practice, and league tonight I bowled my best series ever: 169, 219 (new personal best, only open frame was my final ball), 145 for a 533 series and 177 avg game. This has been a great ball for a newer bowler like myself to take the next step from plastic to reactive, and I highly recommend it for someone trying to improve their game and take it to the next step.
I just got this ball in that color. Can't wait to roll it. Thanks for the video.
🥰
Bought one that had been donated at my local bowling alley. I'm new to league bowling or I guess competitive bowling. Already upped my average +50 this week
Just ordered & got measured for my Brunswick Rhino yesterday, looking forward to checking it out. I'm always been a straight bowler with about a 150 average, but have always wanted to learn how throw a hook correctly, and believe this ball with help with that, at least on an "entry" level. The finger tip grips & inserts will take some getting used to, I'm sure, but here's hoping I don't get too frustrated in learning how to throw a proper hook.
Hey brother, how did it work out for you? I'm in the same situation as you were in last year. Just started bowling and I'm now looking to move up from the house balls and just learning how to hook. Would you recommend the Brunswick Rhino?
@@KingRockets I would. I'm a second year high school bowler with a 180 average. The Rhino is a great ball to learn how to properly hook a ball with. It doesn't do anything fancy but it will tell you when you screw up. It has a very readable and predictable motion. It's a great ball to start with because it works on most house shots but as you improve and get more serious, you can still keep it in your bag for when the lanes get dry. As I get more serious and improve, the rhino still has a place in my bag for the end of tournaments. Good luck!
@@dummydingus8291 Great, thanks for the input. I picked one up, now just gotta wait for lanes to open up again.
@@KingRockets I'm waiting too... I think I might just go insane! 😬 good luck!
@@dummydingus8291 Haha yeah! Lastly, as this is my first bowling ball, curious as to how you got it drilled? Did you follow one the standard brunswick layouts?
Yay. You're back!!
I just hit 189 with hooking a solid house ball so was checking this ball out as my first bowling ball
It's a very good entry ball to go with, can't go wrong!
Hey can you guys do a review on the Hammer Dark Legend & the Storm Phaze please....thanks keep up the great reviews very beneficial....Peace
I’m so impressed by the low speed/low rev. I want to learn how to play like that
Everybody loves #OldGuyWayne.
Used on dry lanes and was great. Little snappy in the roll phase. Pair it with the twist and boom 💥 your doing great on a THS, go to your local pro shop and get fitted
I benched the twist for league and swapped it out for the radical counter attack pearl.(still have the twist in my bag, it's my go-to when nothing else works)
Thanks, for reviewing this.
This is an old video, but, is the hustle ink good as a 4 X 4.5 layout? Or should I have it pin up like the rhino?
Is it just me or does Wayne look super excited
It would be interesting if they made a polished pearl urethane version of the ball.
This video was super informative. Thanks!
I'm a full roller that likes to play down and in would you recommend a ball like this for a bowler like myself
How does this compare to the ebonite cyclone as a first ball?
Is this ball by any chance stronger than the Roto Grip Shout?
How would this compare to the UpRoar. I really like this balls reaction but it is literally breaking down.
I have mine waiting to be drilled, after watching this I bought it, it is now my go too light oil and dry ball, right before I say to hell with it and downgrade to urethane. It was this or the Motive pearl but this had better pin action, or well you sold it like that, I will come back in a few days when I've actually thrown it and will see if it actually carries of if this video was just some impressive editing.
I've been using the twist more and more, seems like most places don't use much oil for league play these days
If you want to know what this ball is, think Brunswick Avalanche Pearl with same core and different pearl cover-stock.
You guys are Great keep up the good work.
Is the rhino similiar to the brunswick twist?
thanks love your videos
My wife and I are getting ready to buy our first bowling balls. It looks like you are conveying a lot of experience and knowledge about this ball, but for beginners like us, it's difficult to understand the terminology. Do you have a review of this ball that a beginner can understand?
Beginners I recommend the twist
How would you say this compares to the DV8 Outcast? I need a low-ish end ball to replace it, and I'm just wondering how similar the Rhino is.
+philip gottfried much different. less differential, less flare, smoother cover. You can drill it stronger and add surface and create an incredible reaction.
keep up the great work
Problem! The center 1 mi. from my house has old, REAL wood lanes. Oiled only one time weekly (before league Tuesday and not again until the next Tuesday!). I work late so don't get in league but bowl on weekend afternoons. After Fri-Sat. nights 5 Hrs. packed house glow bowling each night the lanes are scorched beyond! Heads are gone. Backends are anyone's guess from carry down. Ball will snap left by the arrows and direct to the 7 pin. Would you think the Rhino could be something I should consider? I am ok on the synth lanes in the next town but need a ball to use on the dry REAL wood closer to home. For what it's worth I am more in style like Wayne Porter. 64 male, 13-14-15 mph. Not sure of revs. Actually taught by dad in '68 with his rubber ball. Sort of missed the Urethane-Reactive. A Rip Van WInkle of bowling. Trying to catch up. Thanks. Enjoy your videos.
Hey guys, I'm looking for a so called entry line ball. Lol. Im between the silver/green rhino and blue bruiser outcast. Which one would give me more overall hook? I don't need anything too weak so the stronger of the two I would probably get. Thanks.
+Brad Meyers The outcast will have a bigger core with a higher Differential. It will technically have the higher hook potential.
Would you guys consider this to be basically a less aggressive version of the vintage gold rhino pro
+Nick Warren That's not a bad way to look at it.
So very similar to the Brute but maybe a few boards stronger?
+Dean Hooks Jr. and a bit longer.
Just bought this ball but in green/pearl. It's getting drilled and picking up in a few days! I hear this ball has some durability issues. Is that true?
Rob has drilled literally hundreds of them and never had a return or defect.
You guys just sold me a rhino. Awesome show. Thanks
Pair it with the twist and it's sweet
@@chriskelly509 twist as a spare ball rhino as strike? Was considering getting a Rhino to learn hooking the ball
@@TimNurTV I use the twist more often than not. Lots of facilities don't use much oil. 🤔 look up the ctd video where they use no oil on the lane.
@@chriskelly509 will do, thanks!
can you help me.. i'm 64. have a hammer gold black widow .. an older Brunswick Monster,, not a power bowler 13 mph.. i stand left of center.. 2nd arrow down and in.. but as lanes dry up ,,, balls want to break left .. will this hold the line better with less effort..
exactly same w/me, I went to lighter ball> just getting back into the game after 26 years a cpl years ago , they were astonished to see me using old Ebonite Earl Anthony Magnum 9, a 16lb urethane ball, i used to avg 191, was mostly a spare bowler, bought a Rotogrip Critical 15lb , used it for a year and ball takes much maint to keep it having hook and pin action! I just went down to 14lb DV8 Pitfall Bark, drilled very aggressive the ball is amazing if it hits anywhere 1,2,3 pins its like a broom and sweeps the floor! trouble now reaching even the 6 pinto pick simple 6-10 spare because she hooks so hard! So I pull out Earl and hammer them but big difference in release once you get used to a 14 and then try to place the 16 where I need to! Anyway,,, wearing my glasses changed my game too .... LOL I would say drop then weight of your ball, w/this newer technology 13 mph is plenty to roll over the pins, have someone figure out your Rev Rate and other criteria they mention on video, I wished I would of had the older Hammer back in the day, the pins run from them! God Bless America-Freedom Isn't Free
Think this would be a good 3rd game ball when our house lanes seem to have no oil left at all ? Looking to have a go to ball for that 3rd game when my Jackpot breaks way to much.
I say try the twist as well
Did you ever try it for the 3rd game?? 5 years later and I had the same question.
I love your shirts!
I just bought this ball and I bowl with just two fingers no thumb what would you suggest on how to drill it I need it to get down the lane further thank you
If you go to Radical Bowling technologies website they have a whole write up on layouts for Two handers / No-Thumb bowlers.
I have the rhino and twist....I find the twist much more controllable but I really like both
Both are a must for league. Lots of us are using the twist.
Which one has the stronger reaction?
@@travisholly3797 definitely the rhino
@@chriskelly509 especially on wood lanes lol
@@mre8ballgaming842 thanks a lot for responding.
Is this a viable first entry level reactive ball? :)
@hpkaijuking Thank you very much for your insight :)) I am also looking into the Storm Tropical right now. Any thoughts on that ball as well?
This ball hooks late and very hard on med dry wood lanes. It's useless in my home house for me. Its does work on some well oiled synthetic lanes however. I can throw it like my BTU'S (in my home house) and get the same reaction. This ball is NOTHING like a teal rhino. I had one and hated it. It reacted WAY early if you have revs without enough ball speed. I left it at a bowling alley in grand rapids to be adopted 20 years ago.
i got that same rhino
What's the difference between the rhino and the fanatic btu?
There are huge differences. The BTU has a HIGH RG core with a medium-high differential. The Rhino has a light bulb core that is slightly less high-rg (more medium), and the same differential. This means the hook potential for these two balls are in different places (the BTU is farther down lane).
The potential is only that without cover. This is the second big difference. The cover on the BTU is MUCH slower response to friction, so it will retain energy longer and not over-read the dry parts of the lane. While the rhino is amazing for dry lanes as well, it reads friction faster, so when they become very spotty or wet / dry it can have some consistency issues.
Is this similar to the Rack Attack Solid?
stronger
I'm just getting into Bowling, and I think this ball was perfect for me the first couple of months.. But, I've since (slightly) tinkered with my shot, and now I seem to have trouble getting it into "roll" phase.. It's still hooking well, but sometimes deflects and just isn't hitting like it used to. I'm just not sure if I need to change my release, or if I need to change my ball. Can you help? I have a pretty sweet beard.. if that helps
Kevin Hopper If you dont clean your ball often, oil can build up in the pores of the coverstock, giving it less power through the pins. It happens gradually over time, maybe it's time for an upgrade
which one would you prefer, the brunswick rhino or dv8 outcast?
Even though their stats are pretty similar, they are very different for us on the lanes. We find the Outcast a little stronger in the midlane, while the rhino gets down lane with a little more pop. We'd go Rhino if you are seeing lots of friction up front and the Outcast if its light but even oil.
i am a two handed bowler, does the rhino perform good with two hands?
Depending on what you want it to do, it could be!
What's the price of this ball
i got that same rhino.
Gentlemen - how does this ball compare to the Radical Rack Attack pearl ?
+Dale Stewart Similar motion, stronger. the core in the Rack attack is even lower Diff then the rhino.
I bought the ball but I get no where near the pin action I am seeing in these videos must be me or my release because the ball doesn't hit like I see here
Could be the way you are throwing it, or the surface on it.
I got that phone call yesterday
The beard trim looks good rob,, it was gettin a little out of control :P
+Johnnie C Yeah, it was. When it finally got trimmed we took 9.5 inches off the beard.
+Lane Side Reviews small question, I will be buying the storm lock and phaze next month to replace a couple of my bowling balls...my 4 ball arsenal will be the lock, phaze, tropical breeze, and spare ball....will that cover more scenarios I will run into????
Depending on layout and surface, it should! You have an angular ball in the Breeze, Traction in the Lock, continuous in the Phaze and a spare ball, so as long as you are comfortable with putting surface on the ball, you should be good!
+Lane Side Reviews ok thanks a bunch you guys are awesome
Thank you!
do the ebonite GB MVP!!
how does this compare to the strike king?
+Coolfoxy1102 Underwood the rhino is lower RG, so it will start transitioning a little earlier. The Differencial is pretty close (.28 vs .30), so flare potential is about the same. This means the rhino will be a little better on more conditions.
i just ordered the black one with the same layout as the one you are throwing. ordered it on bowlingball.com
What size should I get to start out??
Go talk to your local pro shop
My pro shop recommended 15 pounds, which works out well. 16 can feel like a boat anchor at times.
Rob is lucky if he is throwing that ball 16 mph.......is the 18.5 mph listed before he bowls the speed at which the ball leaves his hand? because there is no way that is the average speed.
I don't throw a hook and prefer normal drilling (vs. fingertip). I have an old Eclipse ball and am looking for a new ball. I'm just a casual bowler and the Zones I bowl at are considered medium-heavy oil. I know almost any ball I buy now-a-days will be better than my Eclipse, but do you recommend the Rhino? Or are there any others to consider?
Answered you on facebook my friend. Hope it helps.
@@LaneSideReviews If you had answered it here on UA-cam comment section, then others like me could have learned from your answer.
@@someguy2135 sorry, but it was asked in three different Platforms at once. We will try to Remeber to share more in the future.
@@LaneSideReviews Thanks.
What's the weight of the ball?

I just got my first rhino, goodbye bumpers!!!
Calling bs on that 436 rev rate. Closer to 350
+silly0981 LOL. I guess you've never varied your release, rev rate, launch angle or hand position. Its a skill set that every bowler should have to create shape on the lanes.
REALLY overselling this ball. I mean they do it every time, but not every ball has ALLL THE POWAAAAA, like they always seem to say it does.
anything that retains energy (ie medium to high rg or slow response covers) WILL have all the POWAAA down lane, especially at the pins. it is what it is designed to do. when you don't need energy down lane then go with a low rg ball or use tons of surface. that will create a less flippy pin action, and tends to keep pins low, creating a different kind of carry.
good call on it though! it's good to know where people want the ball to react or have energy! thanks for watching!
lol reply and comment made me giggle
Thanks for the reply, just ordered the Bruiser.
