Ok Hammerheads, I was just curious as to what everyone looks for when purchasing a new ball besides it being the newest If you would take a few moments to fill out the survey it would be greatly appreciated.

1. Ball Color (preferred color and/or shelf appeal, also what colors do you prefer)

2. Name/Label (does it look cool or catch your attention, also favorite name/label)

3. Ball Motion (what particular motion to you look for most, i.e.: skid/flip, more midlane rolling motion...)

Also after you answer this would you please rank them in the order of most important to least important. Thank you

I am a track legion member, but would be happy to entertain:
3, 2, 1

3)Ball Motion- rolly(more midlane) & hard arcing (kinetic Energy)
2)Name/Label- catch my attention (Track- rising line)
1)Ball Color- rising s.e(reminded me of the red pill from the matrix going down the lane. The most interesting is the Tantrum- similar to a menstrating vomit ball moving down the lane, but the reaction you get more than enough compensates.

Back when I just did it for fun, it was 1 and 2.  3 wasn't even on my map.

Now, it's 3,1, and then 2.

Usually it's 3,1,2. But I have to admit I only purchased the Psycho because I walked into the pro shop and thought it looked great.

Guess it's 1,2,3 for me. I see the ball when it comes out on the internet and if it interests me then I'll check out the specs to see if they're in the range I like. Then I want to see the ball in action and hear the word of mouth on the web and at the lanes. Then I ask my driller for his opinion and then I decide whether to buy or not. Mostly throw and prefer Hammer and liked the Virtual Gravity, looks and all, but didn't buy it until seeing it in action. Too good to pass up, seeing is believing.

For me, as for many others who responded....it's 3, 1, and 2.

I really love Purple balls and bright Green balls, or a combo of the two in particular.

I like rolly, midlane reading equipment. I also like hard-arcing equipment but having said all that, I probably have had greater succcess with the skid/flip stuff, LOL!!

My favorite labels are RotoGrip and Hammer, although Storm is starting to come on fast!

3. Ball Motion, it all depend on my mood or what I think I need.

1 or 2 no order here... Both have their points.

Cool Names... Doom, Pain, No Mercy and Psycho. It always cool to have a good song on the radio, that coincides with the name of the ball.

Colors it distracting great, that not my problem. If it looks cool, great as well. Liked the black No Mercy, the High Rev, my Psycho and might as well add the Burn.
