Soaker cover plus whatever core AMF wants to throw in there. Just get rid of the da*ned Columbia covers.

Phil didn't design the nighthawk, tower core, or the evo series.

Del Warren did most of that.

Phil's style is to go in and put his own touch on things so i doubt any of those would be released.

We still have plans for the Tower and Nighthawk cores down the road.  The Angle evolution series used the same power ring core that was in the Nighthawk but with minor changes in the numbers.  That core has been successful in just about anything we wrap it with.  As for the tower core we used it in the last 3 HP balls and we want to mix it up a bit with our new launch.  Look for a new core in early May.  As for bringing back the Angle line, I am all for it, the evolution reactive pearl was one of my all time favorites.  Maybe same ball at a lower price point similar to what we did with the NH.  You guys talk and we listen, so intrigue us with more of your ideas.

A Tour Menace remake would be great.  You could market it with any name you want, I think a lot of people could use a ball that is so even and smooth but still has good hitting power.

I like to see the Angle line brought back perhaps in a pearl coverstock either reactive or particle maybe both.With the core tweak little bit to hit harder,read midlanes plus going thru the heads with no over and under reaction.

If you could find a way to update the Ninja line -- specifically the Ninja Master -- that would be interesting. I'd also like to see the old XS core brought back if possible.

Also, a simple suggestion/request: Please get away from what Columbia has fallen in love with recently, which is putting four or five colors in the mix for coverstocks. The ball ends up looking like someone threw up in a sphere. In addition to, for instance, the performance of the old Ninja Master, it was blue with a little green mixed in and green graphics. Two colors and only two colors. It looked classy, and when you polished that ball up it looked like a gemstone.

Eric an entire mid priced nighthawk lineup again, i also was big fan of the mj slam and the bullwhip.

Menace pearl is on its 4 th redrill with me the ball is such a great bowling ball, i also would like to see a newer updated nighthawk menace i have at least 800 games on the one in my closet.

You can win back bowlers with the Hawk series i had every one of these balls and all were winners.

Wouldn't mind seeing the Velocity core again.

I don't really think that stayed around long enough.

I'm still trying to figure out the AMF300 philosophy - are they planning to just release 3 balls in a line?  Velocity, Maximum Velocity, Terminal Velocity (not even the same core!).  Radar, Radar Lock, Radar Alert.  

When you have a decent core, why not continue to use it?  Brunswick didn't have any problem using the Inferno core in like 4 bazillion balls.

Hmm, what kind of drugs are you using?

How about the continuation of the Radar, one of the great current ball available? Wonderful, medium-strong core that helps keep pin low and knock them into next year.

A continuation of the Angle line would be great.  The Angle series was revolutionary, and the Angle Evolution line was extremely impressive.  A new line of the ball would make sense.

From the information I have received Radars are not done.  They have put them on hold for now because they want to release a new line.  They were coming out with one then pushed it's release back.  Look for a release around bowl expo.

The Triumph TNT is one of the best balls I have ever thrown. I love the coverstock on that ball.
