  • Review: Hammer Black Widow Nasty Bowling Ball
    I had the opportunity to test out the Black Widow Nasty bowling ball from Hammer and according to Hammer’s tag-line on the product, “It’s about to get NASTY!”, I couldn’t agree more.  The very first game I tossed with with Black Widow Nasty bowling ball was a 248…not bad considering that my average at the time was a 220.

  • Could Justin Bieber Fall Back on to the PBA?
    OK, I’m not willing to bet a whole lot of money that Justin Bieber will ever truly consider a run, but evidently, he does have a bit of love for the game. Recently, Justin Bieber has been spotted taking in a few games here and there and by the looks of it, he doesn’t have that bad of a game to show off. Here’s a clip from ABC’s Shaq Vs. where Shaz...

  • Review: Storm Reign Bowling Ball
    When I first had the opportunity to look over the Storm Reign, I was a bit skeptical as I had tested several different bowling balls while looking for the staple weapon to lug around in my bag.  After trying out different products, the Storm Reign went above and beyond my expectations on the first throw.

    Although it’s very commonplace that just about every house you go to has fully automated scoring systems, it isn’t a bad idea to understand how to manually keep score of your bowling game.  You can use this knowledge in forecasting a potential final score, or better your trash talking when your buddy is about to lose the game even before you throw your last...

  • Bowling Ball of Choice: The “Dick” Ball
    UPDATE: MY father read over this article and I’m proud to boast that the story was pretty much dead on except that I was actually mad at him for a number of weeks rather than days.  Not a bad memory, huh?? Never fear…my goal of kingpin-bowling.com, much like my time on the lanes, is not to land in the gutter.  Although the title of this story may seem a...
