« on: January 19, 2012, 06:18:02 AM »
Ugly color, could be good ball.Who knows?
Wish they named it something else, besides "Purple/Pink Pearl".
 
Karma Purple/Pink Pearl

I think it fits right in, nice pricepoint to get a Massive Damage type reaction with a little more response downlane.

Except the name and the color, I have no problem with the ball.
 
It's a Brunswick. It can't be bad.

:) True that!

 

I think Karma is a great name though, had a pretty good following being the Danger Zone remakes.

Charlest, that's a very Pchee thing to say. :p

Personally, got a Hook pink/black in the basement waiting for me to put holes in. The "pink" is a nice coral color. Super nice.

But again, I drilled a pink Rhino just because it was pink. At least I knew what spare ball was mine!

OMG, Mega-apologies!! I am not worthy of being compared to the "great one" from days gone past. I did not intend to blaspheme. Mea Culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!!
 
I threw a Pink Raspberry and a Pink Piranha. Did awful with both of them. The only good pink ball is the PINK Hammer!  Not that I think pink is effeminate. I just can't stand the color except on one item ...

Karma, I like. Think it is an excellent name.
 
I think naming a ball after the color is unimaginative. Like the Avalanche Green/Black Pearl and the Red/Black Monster. Hated both names, loved both balls.
 
The Karma Purple/Pink Pearl should have been something elegant yet simple like, the Karma Plus or the Karma PlusPearl (one word).

It doesn't look THAT bad - but IMHO a nice addition. There used to be international balls with Activator+ and the higher RG BVP core (the bell thing from the Nemesis - I don't remember the names; one was silver/red one, a Zone, the other was a blue one with a snake icon), and those were great on medium conditions, esp. for players with less speed.

Had several overseas releases with the Activator+ pearl cover and loved them. It is an amazing cover that is extremly versatile. Diamondback Pearl was the first I got to try with the cover and it was amazing. To see that used on the Damage and now a Karma is very awesome. Currently my Revolution Speed Master is my go to ball with that cover.

My fault. Got it off Ebay. I knew it was urethane, with a real dynamic but weak core.
Used it one summer in a sport league on a true reverse block, about 8 years ago.
Was having a lot of trouble one night, took it out, gave it around 20 revs, going straight down the 10 board, barely wrinkled and left a stoned 8-10. Picked it up and put on the house rack. bad night.

I don't like the Karma name either but having owned both a Danger Zone and the Massive Damage, I don't see how this will be anything but a great ball!
 
As for pink, I've had a Pink Raspberry and Pink Hammer.  My buddy has been killing it with his Pink Panther.  All great balls IMO and nobody laughs when they see the ball reactions.

I like the name Karma. I don'tlike naming it after the color. It's unimaginative at best.
 
I don't care what other people think about the color, pink. I personally don't like the way it looks.
