Got Exactly the Type of Ball I Wanted!

I did the mystery/surprise ball and added the $10 description. I said my rough stats and what I was looking for in a ball to add to my arsenal. I didn’t have a specific ball in mind that I wanted and figured I’d give this a shot.

It definitely didn’t disappoint! Not only did they give me the type of ball I wanted, it was also a huge discount as well! I ended up getting the Hammer Special Effect which was released in March 2025 and saved almost $100 than buying new at msrp

I would recommend this to anyone who likes the surprise aspect, doesn’t know exactly what ball they want, or someone just looking for a good ball at a discount. Overall very happy with the purchase! The only catch is I’ve seen in the reviews and online that they mostly give out Brunswick 7 Brand Balls (Brunswick, Hammer, Track, Radical, Ebonite, Columbia 300, and DV8). If that doesn’t bother you or you love those brand of balls, definitely give this a shot!

3 ball purchase at same time

Ordered 3 balls a couple of months ago. Very happy with the outcome! I received a Ebonite Crusher, Black Widow Mania, And a Radical Maximum Results. Going to order 3 more today and hoping to get some newer released stuff again!

Ebonite Turbo X

Can’t wait to get this Drilled. Perfect Timing, I need a weaker Benchmark Ball

Another excellent Ball, Cypher Pearl

You guys rock.

Just gonna say, New bowler, bought 3 balls already and figured why not try this for fun. Ordered 2 told u what I had and what I was thinking about and looking at and you over delivered. Can't lie they hooked it up like crazy but I don't wanna say more and get people in trouble lol. Thank you guys honestly ill be back for any ball I am looking at in the future, and probably more mystery balls.

Very fast shipping and extremely thoughtful in price and selection of item for my Mystery Ball box. I received a Hammer Effect Tour.

I recoeved a DV8 hater hybrid very happy with it and fits my game well

Bowling World has done it again!

I'll be honest that I was hoping for a Motiv ball, like the Evoke Hysteria or Primal Shock, or a 900 Global Origin, since I've been switching over my arsenal lately. BUT, that being said, the Radical Snapshot was on my list! Bowling World absolutely listened and sent me their top idea. For the cost savings, the 1st rate quality of the ball and service (gave me a ball nearly twice the price I paid and delivered it extremely quickly), 5 stars doesn't even seem high enough. This time I received the Radical Snapshot! It really hasn't been out that long, and this ball performed really well for bowlers at State. My first Mystery Ball box they gave me the Hammer Effect Tour within a week of launch. How can anyone not appreciate such generosity?! I will continue to buy Mystery boxes for as long as they offer them. But I think I'll get my wife one next to go with her IQ Tour Edition, Archetype, Emerge, and Zen Gold Label. I love you, Bowling World! You made a very rough week a whole lot better. : )

Todo lo del bulto me gusto es como lo describian

I wasn't sure at first, but now I love it

I wasn't impressed with the Effect Tour at first. I couldn't get a read on it. But after about ten games, this ball became smooth and very predictable. The cover broke in nicely and has only gotten better. My league average is 151, but I threw a 827 on the 2025 Nationals pattern this weekend. Needless to say that this ball has made a longterm place in my arsenal as my benchmark. I'm going to need an extra one or two for the future.

Awesome deal

Saved a ton of money on a couple of really great bowling balls. Mine had very usable layouts already so I didn’t even need to get them redrilled, just plugged the thumbs since I’m a 2 hander. I told them what kind of thing I was looking for and they picked some really cool bowling balls for me!

Awesome

I paid 99.99$ And got hammer anger and DV8 trouble maker solid both demo balls worth 300+

Great price and great balls

Received a Black Widow Mania and a Outer Limits Solid. Both seem pretty used and dirty but for 40ish dollars per ball I can't complain.

Mystery Ball - Special Effect

Great Ball Excellent Value. Great Service. I’m addicted to these Mystery Balls, If you haven’t tried it your missing out.

Great deal!!

Purchased the 2 Experienced balls. Received a Ebonite Crusher Hybrid and a Hammer Black Widow Mania (13lbs was only sizes available) Both balls had very little use with no visible issues. Both drilled with Ultimate thumb inserts and switch grip finger inserts. Easily saved over $200 if I had purchased them separately new (Crusher $189, Mania $159)

best ball EVER

PLEASE BRING IT BACK.BEST BALL EVER

Nice jersey

I think this jersey looks really nice. The print goes all the way to the edges so when it's buttoned up you can't really read the lettering as well, but it looks better when it's unbuttoned. Nice and soft and kind of heavyweight like a real baseball jersey.

Soft and Vibrant

The shirt itself is really soft and the print on the front is nice and vibrant

Good value and spend the extra $10 they listen to suggestions!

Always was iffy doing a mystery box but man was I excited the whole week wondering what I’d get.
I ended getting the storm revenant and love it! Told them what I use and I generally stick with storm over other brands and that I’m cool getting an older ball. They listened and gave me a great ball. I know it’s older but I told them I was ok with an older ball! Thanks again and will order again soon!

DV8 Hater

Not really a bargain this time. 6 mystery balls. Got 3 Awesome Ball and 3 at a little discount I could have brought from other bowling sites. Will I keep buying Mystery Balls - that a safe bet.
