Does anyone own or every thrown a Brunswick Rhino Pro LE?

Post by TheSpectre »

I saw this ball on bowlingballvault.com and became intrigued by it, not just because it's an older ball, but because of the lack about it and the good reviews from the few that had one. It almost makes me want to try and hunt on down and buy one. But for now, can anyone shed some light on this ball? Thanks!

Also I'm new to the forums and semi-new to bowling (I've been bowling 4 months) I average 150, I own a Brunswick Gold Rhino Pro, Brunswick Vapor Zone, Brunswick Black Phantom, and a Brunswick Simpsons Viz-A-Ball.

Even if you found it, im sure you would be disappointed in the performance compared to the current offerings.
It likely would hook similarly or less compared to your Gold Rhino Pro.

Brunswick really bombed it when it came to the material used for this ball being so prone to cracking. I've owned three & they all cracked on me. First two was during freezing temperatures but the last one cracked just sitting in my ball bag in my living room @ 73 degrees one month after being drilled & only used for two league nights. It's a real shame, because this was a great ball w/ a powerful reaction; even for today's house conditions. It hooked a little more than the original gold. I will never buy another Rhino/Pro LE ever again.

Welcome to BowlingChat

You have a Very nice set of Vintage balls to break into this game we call Bowling.
I am almost jealous. I have owned 3 of your 4.
That was back in my 15 and 16 pound days. Today I need more performance in my lighter weight arsenal.

Have you figured out the dual angle layouts?
Do you know your release specs?
