I noticed one online dealer was selling the Break for $154.99, Yet another was selling them at $134.99.

The $154.99 price is a fair price.  however the $134.99 price is a little low.

Off topic but I think 900 Global needs to disable the right click to save the picture.

I think they should fire the marketing guy.If you want people to see an use ur products(when your a new company)then you should make it easier to get to them.Charging top dollar for it in the beginning is stupid.I think that you market them at a better more inviting price an try to flood the bowling alley's with them so other bowlers can see them an want to try one.Just my thinking

Marketing could use a few lessons. It looks like a 1st grader drew up there logos and came up with the names. I know its all about stikes and performance but look at the NV series by Ebonite. Simple logo with a good looking color scheme. When you see one for the first time next to other equipment it makes you go Ohhh. You have to bring something better to the table then the creature and the break. You have to present something that makes the customer want it as soon as they see it.(NV series, Inferno Series, Widow series, ect...)

…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

I agree the break pearl and the creature pearl are better looking bowling balls because they are pearl. But you still have the same goofy/lame name and logo. They had a lot better luck on average when they were amf/columbia/track/dynothane/circle.......300.

I was really looking forward to seeing what they had to offer when I heard about the company knowing all the experience they had from their previous companies, and to see the first release of the creature and the break was not something impressive to look at. I'm not saying they have to put hologram pics on the ball or anything it can be simple and still look great. But this is more of a simple not so great look.

I think(just my opinnion) had they come out with something better looking and named they would have really sparked some more intrest in the company then what they have. Take the break solid and pearl, give it a more catchy name and different logo and there maybe a lot more people throwing the equipment.

Quick added survey, everybody think of a couple of your favorite bowlingballs you've owned over the years from the early to mid 90s to now and list them. Get an idea of what people really like over the years.

Brunswick Zone series. Track Synergy series. Track Sensor seires. Quantums. Ebonite cat and wolf series from the mid 90s.(red wolf solid/pearl jaguar, stingray, puma ect) The Columbia Piranha and Cuda series. Columbia Boss Series.

I dont think its the label that gets the ball noticed. I also think the creature is a good looking ball, it reminds me of the beasts or the rhinos.

i agree with Kong 69, the break pearl has a great color scheme. it gets a lot of shelf attention at the shops around here that carry it. the creature pearl has also been getting interest.

Cracks me up people still complaining about how a ball looks.  Did looks matter when I shot a 290 with the Creature in a tournament.  Don't think looks didn't win me the 300.00 for that day.  Did looks matter when I shot 748 with the Break solid to take over 3rd in State Scratch Singles or 4th in State Hdcp doubles.  My pretty ball was not reacting that great.  So you bring your pretty balls and everyone throwing 900Global will take our plain looking boring balls and take our honor scores and by the way for state I am also sitting 14 for all events scratch and 30 for hdcp.  So that Boring plain looking ball that has no marketing according to you will profit me around 1500.00 for state.  Sure glad I wasn't using a pretty ball.
