Move up from Plastic to Reactive coverstock technology. Compared to Plastic, Reactive coverstock technology increases traction and hooking action in the oil, and Reactive coverstocks can be sanded or shined to create large differences in hook potential. Reactive coverstocks also respond more aggressively to dry lane surfaces than Urethane coverstocks, increasing backend hooking action and hitting power. This is recommended as a first high-performance ball.

Comments about Brunswick Power Groove Pink/Black:

I bought this ball on clearance and drill it up for my Monday nite league. The shot is wet in the middle and dry outside of 10 board. My average on this league is 214. The first game I was just trying to find a spot where this ball would work, I ended the game with a 5 bagger for a 213. The second game was a little better with a 221 and I found the perfect spot on the last game for a 300. Great ball very readable on the lanes.

Bowling.Com Response: Brunswick came out with the Slingshot to take the place of the Power Groove. Customers who loved the Power Groove love the Slingshot even more.

Comments about Brunswick Power Groove Pink/Black:

Picked this ball out for my fiance's beginner ball and she loves it even though she is still trying to figure out how to do a hook with it but even that takes time to be able to do for anyone that's never really bowled before! Perfect price too!!!

Service & Delivery comments:

Excellent delivery!

Comments about Brunswick Power Groove Pink/Black:

I picked up this ball for spare conversions and something for a light reaction. I had my local pro shop owner play around with my layout and we went with a fairly strong layout to match my axis. What I got was a ball that I can throw straight down the lane, down the 5 board, and have a sharp, angular motion to the pocket. I can also get this same ball to go straight as an arrow to the 10 pin.

I had never seen this ball move like this before, but most often, the layouts are close to neutral.

I am a tweener, and can get this ball to out-hook the best of them. My first series with this ball was a 685, and it has remained above 600 since I got the ball.

I would recommend this ball in place of a plastic spare ball, and would also recommend this for medium lanes with dry backends. If your house lays the oil heavy or doesn't strip the backends, this ball may not be much help to you.
