New Brunswick Ball Releases
« on: May 13, 2009, 08:40:34 AM »
Today, I was in a conference call with Billy O. from Brunswick.  During that call, the new ball information was released to all of the Advisory staff.  I will only give the names of the upcoming balls.  The more specific info including coverstocks, weight blocks, RG values and diffs will be disclosed to you at a later date.  I am real excited about the changes discussed and look forward to a banner year going forward.

Ball 1 - Siege

Ball 2 - Wild Thing

Ball 3 - Python

Ball 4 - Avalanche (different color)

What serious bowler is that concerned about the color of the ball going down the lane?  I watch the ball cross the arrows, hit my breakpoint, and see if it continues thru the pins like it should.  Color?  Really?  I mean, really?



Sir,  I agree with what you just said....  However in the retail world, color does indeed matter....

Each and everyday I see customers looking at balls on display,  and trust me sir,  color matters.....

And I'm not talking just about the mr. 180's,  I see the Mr. 220's interested in good looking balls also....

There is nothing wrong with a good highend performance ball, looking good...

It's kinda sorta like marrying a women that is a good cook, yet is also good looking.....wait, bad example there,  do todays young women cook???   oops

I agree with jls, it definately plays a big role to some people when buying a ball. I know I wont buy a ball if I hate how it looks, and a lot of times will pick one ball over the other if they are the same specs, because it looks better and I average 220 like he said. Its appealing to a lot of people, of course I do buy a lot of balls, so that might be why also.

Siege looks like a Colossus Pearl in a way

Wild Thing sounds good, I doubt I'd see enough volume to use the siege without polish

Cars used to have limited colors as well.

If you want great product success and sales you need to cover everything.
Some of the most popular selling bowling balls looked good, had a catchy name, and rolled great. That combination leads to big sales numbers instead of good sales numbers. Thats not to say it can't be black or any other color.

Example: One of the most popular selling bowling balls recently was the Black Widow. Not super flashy but had a catchy name and solid performance.

The Siege will hopefully will do the same.

Plus I will be waiting for the pearl version....Under Siege?
