Title: Who wants the next Espionage?
Post by: itsallaboutme on March 05, 2013, 10:11:56 AM
Matt did a bang up job on his review, let's give away another.  We'll go a few days on this one.  Tell me why you are worthy of a ball delivered to your door by Santa in the white truck.  You can even have your choice of specs.

Because, I've given away 10+ balls to youth bowlers the last couple years and don't have much left.

I would love the next Espionage simply because I have tried just about every ball company that has been around. I have had some older Elite balls, the cheetah and shark, and they worked really well for me. Once I started to bowl in college, my arsenal became basically what was the cheapest for the college students and never threw Elite after.

I am currently an assistant high school coach for the Illinois State Champs and a lot of the kids like to know what I throwing in my leagues and what I would suggest for them. I feel that I could give Elite a very solid and un-biased review and if I were to like what I see, recommend the equipment to some of the high school kids, as well as, the league members that I bowl with. Every week, I get asked about what I think of this ball and that ball, simply because the people know that I usually get something new every other week.

I would love to see what Elite has to offer and help get the word out that they make some great equipment.

Because I work for a proshop and everybody always ask me what I’m throwing during league. And if the ball rolls good we could start selling a few elite balls in the shop.

I would think that I am worthy of the Espionage due to choosing Elite as the bowling brand to start my ball arsenal off from scratch.

I used to throw Visionary equipment primarily, but through a combination of giving equipment away to people just needing their first ball, or selling some equipment to aid in knocking out debts, it was a bit unsettling to have to stop bowing for a significant amount of time, and put other things as a priority.  However, business and responsibilities before pleasure.

Since getting back into the swing of things about a year ago, I have been fortunate enough to buy Elite equipment, and I am very happy that I have.  This ball would be more than a welcomed addition to the few that I have, and would definitely assist me in rounding out my game as I try to become much better on a variety of oil patterns.  I definitely don't want to be just a house shot bowler the rest of my life.

Regards

Brian

  Tell me why you are worthy of a ball delivered to your door by Santa in the white truck.   

 Because I have no brand affiliations, am an impartial judge of performance, have 30 years of experience, and am ALWAYS looking for that "PERFECT" ball. So, if the ESPIONAGE ball happens to be that "PERFECT" ball, I would have no problem telling everyone what it was and how good it was.

 Elite balls have interested me for a while now. No time like the present to find out.

Lets see, how do we go about this... I have never rolled an Elite ball. And i would love to try one without buying one. Not many people in the NW roll elite. Plus i can always use a new ball. I will post an honest review on how the ball rolled for me. And if it is on my doorstep by this weekend i will post a review on how it worked at nationals...

We'll let this go until the end of the day Friday.  A second ball doesn't seem to have the interest the first one had.  Everyone except Matt, Charlest, and Guffnah are eligible.  They already got theirs.

I'd like one simply to help. You look to be trying to re-image the elite brand and change any preconceived notions people have.  This can be a real challenge, but I think there are some good formulas for success out there when we look at some of the newer companies that have emerged (Jet, Lord field, Radical). Beyond making a video and putting together an honest review, I'd like to do what I can to help and be even a small part of that transformation.

I am certainly interested. I already commented, but I truly love trying out stuff I otherwise cannot try. It is hard to purchase a ball or talk good things about something I have never thrown. Being able to throw and test out this piece would be a lot of fun and I think I could help try to get the word out about what Elite has been up too.

I do want to say that this is a great ball. I have have The Platnum, and several of the older Elite balls and found nothing special about them.
But this one, I have been struggling with physical problems (back, hip) and wanted to drop to 14lbs.
This ball has given me as much or more hitting power as I had without the problems. Great motion in the front part of the lane and very good  continuation through the pins. 
The anchor bowler on my team who uses DV8 was even impressed and wanted one. I ordered him one and it is now the first ball out of his bag.

That's tonight.  I may check it out, but usually I'm checked out on the couch before then.  I'll have to set the dvr.

BTW, if it blows, your out for the ball! lol

I would love to have an Espionage. It would truly be great to be the first one in my house to through Elite. It would be like when I through my Seismic Aftermath Pearl, everybody ask me what ball is that because they have not seen anyone else my area through that brand.
And like I said if it works well people will buy it as this is a copycat area. It has happen a few times to me, it wouldn't surprise me if people in my area will start buying the Dirty Look after seeing me through it. I have been ask and gotten complements on this ball already, and it would be the same for the Espionage, especially after I kick somebodies butt with it, and win the pots.

Hello,

This ball would complete me.  I have often been lonely....looking for another orb to toss.  Finally, I have found my sphere...it is here on ballreviews.  I am one.  I am one with the Espionage.

I've been dabbling in various companies and found that the lesser-known brands are outdoing most of the legacy companies. IE: Jet and Seismic. Equipment has been amazing to throw, and it would be awesome to try out another brand, Elite. Nobody in the area I bowl in has thrown or even SEEN anything with Elite on it. Know absolutely nothing about them. It'd be good to give a visual information to em.

I don't know if I'm worthy or not. I'm just your average bowler. Started bowling when I was 9 took a 10 year break from bowling but got back into it a few years ago. I wouldn't mind trying a Elite Espionage and giving it a honest review. I will say that I have only seen a few Elite balls being used in the center I bowl at but the Red Alien was probably one of the biggest hooking balls I have seen.

I would like to try Elite,but I would probably give the ball to my daughter to use when she bowls for her high school.(Go Knights!)

I'm interested in this ball due to the core shape and RG/diff. I've had other balls in the past that are similar in construction that have worked well for me. It's been several years since I bought an Elite ball, this one would fit well into my arsenal, and I would give it an unbiased review.

I am a bowler looking for a brand, i could give a look on the ball of a straight up the back release, or more of a tweener shot.  I can play down and in, swing it or even play the middle oil.

And i too very much enjoy The Americans on FX.

Id give the ball new exposure in my.bowling area. Next to no one throwing elite. I'm a respected bowler in my area and people in my leagues always ask my opinion when they are considering a new ball.  I also just dropped to 15 pounds and am rebuilding my arsenal so it would be perfect timing. I've been on this site since it began and just have a general passion for bowling.  Plus I believe in Santa still and would love to see him drop something off :). I'd give a great honest written and video review as well

Thanks
