    Bowler's Edge

    It is with mixed emotions that I have closed Bowler's Edge. Since opening in 2007, I had one goal, which was to provide my customers with access to great service and the best fit available. I have had the pleasure to advise and drill equipment for players at every level from around the country...

    Motiv Motiv Venom Cobra

    I drilled one of these yesterday and dusted off my shoes to throw it today. The ball is laid out at 55° x 4½” x 40°, with a P2 hole, which is stronger than I usually drill things. Motiv distributor Ken McLachlan recommended that I go a bit stronger than usual. This is a very interesting ball...

    Sage advice...

    Amusing little read. This guy definitely has too many bowling balls. [emoji5] http://www.sltrib.com/home/4440191-155/kirby-winter-is-coming-time Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

    Bowler's Edge still open although web site is now closed

    Morning everyone, Bowler's Edge continues to offer 20 years experience of expert fitting and drilling of equipment to the good people of Canberra. (It's closer to 30, now I think of it, but let's say 20 as it makes me feel younger.) Sadly, scumbag spammers, hackers, bots and other Internet...

    A Pro Shop Tale for the Nostalgia Buffs

    Howdy Seniors! I know that this photo will be appreciated in here. I had a gentleman come into the pro shop this week with a ball he had coveted since juniors, back in the late 1970's. It was the thing to have, the ball to beat and he got hold of one, brand new. I have to confess, I never...

    Too good to get rid of...

    OK, everyone knows I have too many bowling balls. But that's (in part) because I look after them and they last. How many of you have balls in your kit that have truly stood the test of time? Balls that years on, are still in your tournament kit because they get it done year and year out? Which...

    Motiv Motiv Graffiti Tag

    So I finally put holes in one of these after resisting the temptation for some time. The Graffiti Tag uses the angular Agility cover from the much loved Octane and the low diff Halogen core from the popular Tribal line. It claims to fit in as a medium to dry lane ball, but is stronger than most...

    Radical Guru vs. Well... Everybody!

    Here's a new take on ball comparison videos. I'm definitely not set up to do this level of preview work! In fact, almost nobody is! What if you had Throbot demonstrate your ball? And what if you got Throbot to throw competitor's products to compare? Well, you'd have to be pretty confident in...

    How pro shop operators move house...

    First night in the new house. Still waiting on carpet. Lots of furniture still in the garage, old house to be emptied and cleaned and yep, nowhere near unpacked. [emoji4] Funnily enough, one of those boxes is full of bowling shirts. (I just told my wife she couldn't have a French bowling world...

    Too Many Bowling Balls! (Some real goodies to go here...)

    It's that time again! All balls are 15lb, have low usage, are in excellent or as new condition, have been cleaned with Clean Edge after (pretty much) every use, and had surfaces maintained via a Haus Resurfacing System. They all roll, as much as is humanly possible, like new. Radical Yeti...

    Other Radical Reax Version 2 Pearl - Review & Reaction

    With a Radical-ly different layout to my Reax Version 2, the pearl version is outstandingly smoother (as well as being so very purple!) I wish I'd used a longer pin to PAP in the layout of this ball. Cést la vie. Even so, it's an impressive piece. It'll be a house shot monster with a stronger...

    Other Radical Reax Version 2 Review & Reaction

    G'Day Bowling Fans! This could be the best ball I've drilled this year. The Reax Version 2 can be stroked up the lane on the fresh and when the head oil gets depleted, you can get left with it and follow it in all night. From what I've seen, there is nowhere too far left with the Reax Version 2...

    A very quick comparison video of these three balls on the same lane, in the same session. Note the midlane reactions. These are very different balls! Quick notes: The Solaris Platinum is in box finish, 4½" pin to PAP. The Raging Bull Stampede (5" pin to PAP, 4" MB to PAP) with polish is now...
