It will be intersting to see how long this lasts.  

With their proshops thumbing their noses at online policies each and every day, how long will they keep the rule in effect?  This policy is known industry-wide and still proshops try to skirt around their wishes.  Kinda like people that drive on the left side of the interstate or the highway, slowly, while passing a sign that reads, "Slower traffic keep right" or "Left lane for passing only", thinking to themselves, "They can't possibly be referring to me, can they?.

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...)

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.

Some of you have a hard time following so I will type slower. I'm not saying it matters if the ball looks great over performance.(see previous post) I'm saying that if you start a new company in todays market and you really want to get noticed, and have people talking. It helps to have a marketable product in name, looks, and performance.

And(in my opinnion) the first releases from Global900 weren't that overall impressive. I think(my opinnion)with all the experience from the previous compaines that Global900 has they would have been a little more creative or done something that makes you really want to buy the product.

For those who need scores, I can find those for almost any ball on the market. The discussion I was refering to was marketability. If when you first heard about Global900 and couldn't wait to see what they were going to produce(like me) and were happy to see the break and creature thats fine.

I on the other hand was a little disappointed. Just like when I saw the fisrt of the new Track(hammer) balls released. The days of Robo, Mutant, and Morpheus Radical Symmetrical cores are gone.

Function is important, and your the first to bring up pretty. I guess if someone wants pretty they could go with a target zone or scout. I have to agree with your signatue on this one because nobody seems to be catching on. Pretty funny.

Also earlier someone asked about price, Ebay has them for $145+shipping. So bowlingball.com was proably about the same.

Nothing wrong with the looks or the logos. In fact, I think the Creature logo is pretty cool.

As for the Break, I like a plain black ball with white grips and slug. It gives me good visual feedback going down the lane.

The Break Pearl is a visual home run...dead sexy. Right now, the Break Pearl and the Complete NV are tops on the "eye candy" list.

That said, the ball that matches up the best will get the call, even if it's the ugliest thing I own.

Apparently our plan is working, we are backordered across the board and working overtime. If you plan to sell all you can make and make all you can sell it's perfect.
