R and M Bowling Supply is based in Bentonville Arkansas and is owned and operated by Robb Helt. I started the comapny to be able to provide 2nd line and unknown equipment to the public at a very low cost. I am able to provide this by not having a mark up on any of the equipment I order so therefore I can pass the savings along to the consumer.

Let me explain what kind of equipment it is I sell. I sell what are called "Blems" or 2nds. Here is an example, I had a friend that wanted a Super Beast made by Columbia so I went on the net and the cheapest I found one for was $90.00 plus 10.50 shipping so I went to a supplier I know for Columbia and asked if I could get a blem cheaper and he said yes so I ordered the ball and come to find out here are the differences.

1. The ball does not say Columbia or Super Beast anywhere on it.

2. The Pin is 1/2" further out

3. The ball has a discoloration pattern of resin under the label.

These three things are very minor and do not affect the play of the ball what so ever. i sold him the ball for 65.00 and so he saved about 40.00 and had he bought from a pro shop, he would have spent around 160.00 so he came out 100.00 to the good.


I try to sell everything at at least 50% of suggested retail.

Some of the equipment is First line, just not known to the public yet. Here is another example

This ball is called the Fat Man

Here is the story behind this explosive piece of equipment

FAT MAN (and Little Boy) are only bowling balls with the revolutionary ?N-PIN WEIGHT SYSTEM,??ich dramatically improves both the accuracy tracking and efficiency of your hook or straight ball.
A powerful gyroscopic action is created by the Twin-Pin Weight System, which produces the technical efficiency to deliver a disruptive, explosive, pin-killing force at the critical point of impact


Even more amazing... no matter what your current bowling ball speed... the FAT MAN bowling ball will maximize its striking power and knockdown efficiency! We?all spun a gyroscope and marveled at the difficulty of moving it off its axis, or turning it to the side... it seems to have a power and force of its own that goes on and on. FAT MAN harnesses this gyroscopic force in every ball.
Bowling balls typically loose striking power as they divert some of your initial energy to maintain a track line down the lane. Imagine what your score would be if the dynamics of the ball itself kept it on track, delivering maximum force at impact!

The first and only bowling balls with the dynamics of a gyro and the uniform pre-stressed cover of Nitrothane are the FAT MAN and LITTLE BOY... the power-balls you?been looking for.


HOW IT WORKS: Revolutionary Twin Pin Weight System
The first and only bowling ball with twin-pin weighting.

The FAT MAN from AZO is a particle-technology ball made of Nitrothane, the most powerful reactive resin that can legally be used.

The core design is so unique that we have a patent pending. With this lethal combination of Nitrothane and core design, the FAT MAN is unparalleled in performance and construction. FAT MAN will give you maximum hook with consistent reaction down the lane. This is a high performance ball that all styles and skill levels will benefit from.

The scientists at AZO have tested today?op products and taken them to the next step. Our cover stock is made of a powerful Nitrothane, which is a prestressed cover with a nitrogen rich molecular structure. The core is also made of nitrothane, which, when fused to the cover, gives it a unitized construction fit.

Kelly Coffman, known as the most powerful bowler on the Professional Bowlers Tour in the 90?is now President of AZO. With his knowledge of bowling balls, he has helped develop a core design that, in combination with the nitrothane cover stock, creates the most powerful ball today. This core creates extreme versatility. The gyroscopic design features two pins on each ball. Each pin represents two polarized caps underneath them. With the gyro caps, you will have two pin placements on each ball. If you have a pin in, you will also have a pin out in the same ball.

Drilling layouts for the FAT MAN are different than other ball drilling layouts.

Our ball features a unique two pins on each ball. Both pins represent a flip cap underneath them. Each flip cap is equal in weight and size. This means that your center of gravity (cg), will float around one of the pins. Each ball will have two pin placements. (Instructions included with each ball.)
