warning about new 3G Ultras
« on: December 06, 2009, 06:58:40 AM »
This is not a post to bash the quality or performance of the new 3G gray and burgandy(haha) ultras BUT, the pair I got did not come close to resembling any picture I have seen online. The burgandy color would more aptly be called frosted metallic pink and there sure is alot of it. I've got nothing against pink, but I can only imagine the grief I would get from my teamates. My pro shop guy, as he was laughing, said he had ordered one other pair so far and they were also frosty pink.

My buddy has just received his pair a week ago,they looked almost a burnt orange color in the catalog, the box said burgundy and....Yes they are the frosty metallic pink as you say...He's been getting a bashing over it(all in fun)...But yes they need to reconsider the color description....

there is something to be said for a pair of classy looking, black bowling shoes like my 3g tour ultra's. i'll take black any day over some "iffy" color combo........

I have both the tour ultras and the sport ultras in both colors mentioned. The sports "red" is a
darker burgundy color and I've had those for over 3 years.  I just picked up the new tour ultras fro. Tekneek and although it is a lighter shade of red than the burgundy, I don't think it looks pink. More of a lighter metallic burgundy. I love the look and feel of these shoes.

StormBowler83, I'll give you that I interchanged "burgandy" for "wine". There are at least 3 people-myself, my pro shop guy who is a silver level coach, and TKelly who have said these shoes are pink. Let me offer 3 possible solutions:

1) you have never seen a pair of this model in person

2) you are a jerk

3) you are a jerk

my money is on all of the above
