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!
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.
I have bought mystery balls from this site on four different occasions and every time prior till now I had got something fairly new or at least in the past 8 months. I ordered a ball, paid the extra +$10 to add a description and they sent me a Dv8 Hater, a ball they sell for $119 on their site. There was no "value" to this purchase, makes me feel like I should have got the mystery ball from that other "place"...What hurts most is according to the stamp, this ball has been sitting around since April 2024. Do better Bowling World.
Was very excited to get my mystery box. That being said I was disappointed when I opened it. I did pay the extra 10 bucks to let them know what balls I was currently using and my style and ability. I used a mesmorize and told them I could use something with a little less hooking action to go with it. So they sent me a DV8 Hater which is described as a ball with hook, hook, and more hook. So I feel like I paid a 110 bucks for a lesser version of a ball I already have.
I’m not usually one for writing reviews, but this seemed warranted. When I first saw the Surprise mystery ball option, I thought it could be fun to give it a shot.
I mentioned it to a couple bowling buddies and we decided to all order around the same time and see what happens. We all went in opened minded without high expectations.
Well you know that feeling you get when you receive that Birthday present or Christmas present? That excitement and anxiousness to just tear into it and see what you got? That’s what it feels like, and boy were we all surprised at the bowling balls we received, there was no disappointment, just a new anxiousness to hurry up and get them drilled and start throwing them.
Some were a bit older like the Forge Ember and Some newer like the DV8 Dark Side!! Both are amazing bowling balls. We are already talking about ordering again in the near future. Highly recommend giving it a try. It’s an amazing deal.
Honestly, they might have been clearing the warehouse by giving me the discontinued Radical Rattler Big Bite, but it's not a bad ball. Still worth more than what I paid. It's always a fun gamble to do a mystery box. Shipping is free and it honestly showed up pretty quickly. All in all, I'd recommend at least doing this once.
Radical Torpedo
I am a left handed bowler. My ball speed is around 14 mph. My Rev rate is around 275rpms. I recently punched up this ball. My layout choice is 40 x 4 1/4 x 70. I was looking for a ball for older lane surface and with strong backend. Well this ball seems to be very good for that. With its pearl cover it is clean through the fronts. And with the HK22C. It gives me a very good backend motion. I think this a good addition to the Radical line. I recommend trying this ball out. It will be a good addition to your bag.
Thanks,

I ordered this ball to help get back into bowling after losing all of my equipment. I ended up getting a Radical Torpedo. What an amazing deal!
Very nice looking ball, but I guess I don’t know my balls that well because it’s a spare ball but I like the way it looks thanks
First time trying this and was not disappointed. Got the hammer scorpion low flare cant wait to try this thing out!

I’m a left handed bowler with a ball speed around 14.5 mph. My Rev rate is around 275 rpms. I recently punched up this ball. My layout choice is 80 x 3 1/2 x 20. I must say. It is a great addition to my arsenal. With the HK22C pearl cover it great length down the lane. And with the new core design and layout. It has a strong backend. Thanks Radical Bowling Technologies for making this ball. It great addition.
Thanks,

For my 3rd subscription box I received the DV8 Chill Pearl. This ball is quickly becoming one of my most useful for league and it wasn't even on my radar!
Put my top three brands and what i had. Got a dv8 trouble maker solid. Something i was looking at already. Let my kid open the box for me because she was pumped at the mystery too.
I am very proud to introduce to you the newest addition to the DV8 line, the DV8 Dark Side. The new DV8 Dark Side introduces the new Duality Core. Albeit this core is designed to give no-thumb bowlers more drilling options and a greater performance advantage, the Dark Side is equipped with the Inciter Hybrid coverstock and finished with a factory compound. With a 45x4x30 layout the Dark Side allows for cleaner ball length through the front part of the lanes while delivering a strong continuous motion on the backend. The Duality core offers the lowest differential in the new No-Thumb category, creating less flare and a unique ball motion for this evolving and game changing category. For 2-handed, 2-finger and traditional bowlers, the Dark Side offers the perfect balance of power, control, and performance. Check out our No-Thumb resource page on DV8bowling.com for more in-depth information on how the Dark Side will work for you. DV8 keeps on creating innovation in bowling equipment and has done it again with the new DV8 Dark Side. If you are not throwing DV8, you’re just not bowling!!!
Out of all of the balls I have been blessed to throw as an ambassador for Brunswick, one line of balls I have never thrown….and that line was the Black Widow line. I wasn’t that I didn’t like them, I just never tried one because each time they came out, they just didn’t fit in my arsenal. Now, I am SO glad I took the leap and drilled up the new Hammer Black Widow Mania! Having never thrown a Black Widow, I wanted to see what made this ball so different. The HK22-Cohesion Pearl coverstock which is the same cover on the Hammer Effect which I ABSOLUTELY, so I wanted to put a 40x5x75 layout in this ball to maximize its full ball motion and give the ball continuous and predictable ball motion on any lane condition…AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! The Black Widow Mania simply an INCREDIBLE bowling ball! The ball control and predictability support all the reviews and hype I have heard for years about the Black Widow line for years. This ball is just unreal. Like the Hammer Effect and if I can be so bold….I believe we have the 2025 Ball of the Year in the Hammer Black Widow Mania!!!
The new Hammer Effect line is by far the newest and hottest ball line produced in years. The Hammer Effect changed the game as to how pearlized balls can react in oil. The Hammer Effect Tour took the original Hammer Effect and put a solid coverstock on it and created a new ball shape not seen from a solid bowling balls in recent years. Now, Hammer has introduced the newest innovation in the Effect line, the Hammer Special Effect! The new Special Effect has the successful new Huntsman core wrapped in the HK22-Cohesion solid coverstock with a factory compound which delivers an exceptional mid-lane motion and an aggressive change of direction off the spot. The Special Effect compliments the original Hammer Effect by providing a cleaner ball motion through the front parts of the lane, with a stronger continuous ball motion through the pins with incredible hitting power. I absolutely love the Hammer Special Effect and now I have all three Hammer Effect line balls in my bag, because of their versatility and predictability on both oily and medium lane conditions. Keep believing the hype about the Hammer Effect line because these balls are just simply amazing. The new Hammer Special Effect in my opinion completes the Effect line and provides bowlers at all levels versatility on oily conditions unlike any other ball in the market today! The new Special Effect is available in your local pro shop!
I got this ball after my last one was stolen plus I needed an upgrade anyway. All I can say is love this bag i can leave my bowling backpack at home just off all the storage I have with this bag 10/10
I have ordered 2 mystery ball and one on the way. Stated the currently arsenal and what I was looking for. The balls I have received was not what I was looking BUT it they were the balls that I didn't know I needed. Because of the success of the balls I received, I ordered another which will be the final determination of whether or not I will be ordering more in the future. If at any point I don't receive the ball I can use, I could always sell it to fellow league bowlers for the price I bought it for.
he Hypnotize is one of the most versatile aggressive balls I have ever thrown. This ball fits between Mesmerize and Hypnotize in terms of total hook. It has become my go to ball to start with on slicker surfaces like Pro Anvilane and recovers well from most angles. The hybrid HK22C has just the right response time and characteristics for success where oil is present in league and tournament settings. If you are looking for an aggressive reaction with fantastic versatility, check out the Hypnotize.
Got this shirt as a gift and it's awesome. Material is nice and soft. Print looks good.
This shirt isn't actually a denim shirt - it just looks like denim. It's actually extremely soft and lightweight. It's somehow softer than the regular Bowling World tees (I have two others). The sleeves are shorter and tighter on this one than the other shirts. I'm 6'1" wearing a medium. If you don't like the tight look you may want to go up a size for this shirt.
This ball is good. I drilled mine 60x5x20 and I use it as my first ball out of the bag. It’s not as strong as the Hazmat solid and it doesn’t have that heavy rolling motion. This ball has a smooth motion that is very predictable.
Wow I was surprised on how good this ball is.
It was clean in the front of the Lane and strong with a predictable pop on the back. The motion is like an Effect tour with polish but you get in the symmetrical version. It’s currently my number 2 ball out of bag behind my Hammerhead.
I've ordered this multiple times now and haven't been disappointed once. All balls are in excellent shape they show up quick and have always been new releases!
I like the shape and the color of this shirt
