I personally use clear grips simply because I prefer the tacky feel they have compared to colored grips, which feel harder and slicker to me in general.  However, it's annoying when I'm using a dark colored ball without much contrast, such as my Special Agent, because I cannot see how it rolls and flares down the lane as well as I could with contrasting colored grips.  The Complete NV I saw in the pro shop I frequent was almost entirely blue -- it looked good, but that'd be another case of a ball I'd have trouble seeing how it rolls.

Everything I say gets turned around. I didnt say a ball cannot be said its good til 50 games what I said is that you cant give an honest review after only a few shots. You can say I bowled on a set of burnt lanes after league and like how it rolled. Or I bowled on a fresh medium shot and like it or heavy or whatever. What I simply meant is to know how the ball rolls on differnent conditions to give an accurate review on all conditions and not one. For me I like to give at least 50 sometimes 100 games that way I can tell if the ball is keeping its original reaction or if it loses the reaction after only a few games. Most new balls people are like I love it but after 30 40 50 games they complain it doesnt roll well anymore thats What I like to do People saying stuff is good after only a few shots I simply see that and skip on. Unless its a plastic spare ball that goes straight all the time you cant throw a few shots and say its great on carry down or heavy oil and dry lanes you actually have to throw it on those first to know how it will act.

i havent thrown one ,and probably wont ,but for what its worth,I was bowling with a guy yesterday and he was using a polished rising and a black widow that were really not finishing all that great He had to move way right slow down the speed and point to the pocket.
     While we were bowling unbeknownst to me he was having a complete drilled. the driller brought the ball out to him and it was a marked difference in finish and carry compared to the other 2. He is more of a down and in type player . I was using my rising and a pluto ,but i cover many more boards than he does on any type shot. I could have played my polished hercules on this same shot with success. But for him it was probably a good 7 board improvement over the other 2 he was using.

Novawagonmaster,

I use black grips and black slugs in EVERYTHING, no matter what color the ball is. I really dont like seeing the colors going down the lane. I would just as soon do what Brian Voss use to do, black everything and etch out the label paint.
