Title: Did BJI do a Rip Review??
Post by: RandyO on May 07, 2003, 05:28:07 AM

Question for you long time Bowlers Journal subscribers - did they ever do a review on the Reaction Rip? Would have been around October to December 2001 time frame. Sure would like to know the numbers they came up with.

Don't you mean Bowling This Month (BTM)?

I think Randy meant BJI (Bowler's Journal International) magazine in which the ball reviews are done by Mike Riggins. There are more bowlers that subscribe to BTM than BJI so maybe people are not that familiar with BJI. I, for one, am a BTM subscriber.

I meant BJI. I have the BTM issue that rates it. I was wondering about BJI because the reviews vary somewhat.
