Top 5 Selling Bowling Balls for August 2024 [Updated]

For the 2nd month in a row, the Hammer Black Widow 3.0 has made the top 5 list!

Released in January 2024, the Hammer Black Widow 3.0 Bowling Ball is still a favorite amongst bowlers!

The Black Widow 3.0 is an incredible complement to the Widow 2.0 Hybrid; it has surface and tractions more in oil, making it a great ball to pull out of your bag first. The new Black Widow 3.0 is a solid reactive, much like the Black Widow 2.0, but the cover has been upgraded with a solid version of HK22 and has the same out-of-the-box surface as the Black Widow 2.0.

HK22 gives the new Black Widow an advantage on medium to oily lanes, and Hammer fans will be excited when they see that it’s the traditional black and orange Hammer colors.

“This Hammer ball Effect is very It’s very strong when the back end.I wanted something to play more middle lane This was a great Ball for me It has continuous motion from front to back.Get through the front with ease And still remain strongly back in It’s one I would definitely keeping my arsenal!”

The magic begins with the HK22 base, the same foundation that propelled balls like the Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid and Black Widow 3.0 to stardom. What elevates the Hammer Effect is the addition of a new additive, Cohesion. Together, HK22 and Cohesion achieve a remarkable feat: enhanced traction in oil without sacrificing the explosive backend motion bowlers crave. When you send the Hammer Effect down the lane, its cover sticks and reacts in a way that’s visibly different, delivering unparalleled control and power.

When it comes to the best bang for your buck, the Hammer Arctic Vibe is the coolest in the club!

The Vibe ball has long been a bowlers’ favorite, with the return eagerly anticipated following the success of the Black Widow. Our dedicated team invested significant effort into meticulously crafting this perfect ball, ensuring it upholds the renowned high standard associated with the Vibe.

The HK22 – CT Reactive Max cover on the Arctic Vibe offers unrivaled performance at its price point, making it a standout in its category. Hammer enthusiasts are sure to embrace this exceptional addition to the lineup!

Storm introduced the Storm Ion Pro Bowling Ball as the new Benchmark ball of the year, and bowlers have been showing their support of the new technology.

We’ve taken the benchmark concept and created the next best innovation. The success and longevity of balls like the !Q Tour and Phaze II is no secret, but bowlers are craving more!

Enter, the Ion Pro. This is the first asymmetric benchmark ball ever designed by Storm Bowling and will be the new standard of reliability. A benchmark ball is designed to provide a balanced performance across different lane conditions. This ball is designed to allow bowlers to adjust their game without switching to a different ball. Quite simply, it’s made for players of every style from any angle. Every bowler should have this in their bag.

It’s difficult to find another coverstock as reliable and flexible as TX-16. First established by the Phaze™ II, TX-16 has been inspiring confidence in bowlers around the world for years. In this hybrid version, it marries length with strength to create versatility on a level rarely seen. The Ion Pro was designed to redefine what “benchmark” truly means.

Rounding out the top 5 this month is the Optimum Idol Pearl from Roto Grip.

Tough patterns. Easy patterns. Issues with fresh over reacting backends. Struggles on transition. We say BRING IT ON! Between the original Ikon™ block encapsulated with A.I. Core Technology, and our MicroTrax™ Pearl Coverstock wrapped around the outside, this beaut is definitely like using a cheat code on the lanes.

“You will never go wrong with a ball that has the Idol logo on it and the Optimum is no different. A shape we been looking for in the SPI for a little bit of time, this is a throw back to the blue Idol Pearl we saw years ago. Although the current is stronger and earlier than the blue pearl; we still see that great pearl mid performance benchmark reaction with the Optimum. This ball will come out after the Ascent begins to read too soon and a cleaner and more angular ball reaction is needed. Additionally, for comparison purposes this ball will be stronger than the Xponent Pearl as it reads the body of the lane much sooner.”
