Title: Why Hammer?
Post by: djgook on May 03, 2018, 12:24:28 PM
Sooooooooooooooooo why bring out another Widow Spare and just changed the colors?
Is the bowling ball industry getting that bad or people just buying the same ball just different color?

Really only difference is the blue. Smoke and Black will look similar and they kept the orange....stupid release.

I think the bigger news than this is that they finally retired the Scandal Pearl. It isn't listed in the ball lineup anymore.

Looks like I'll be jumping up to the Rip'D, BW Gold, and BW Urethane for my next purchases.

Spare ball? Unless I have it drilled strong, I can throw my Mission Unknown straight at the 6 pin, miss it to the right, and still keep it on the lane.

BL.

Track Spare+ and the Hammer BW spare balls periodically change colors…… like every other manufacturer does with plastic and entry level releases. Seems self explanatory.

It's a for profit industry.

Its the same as any spare ball, colors get stale. Change them up to generate interest. Especially for the customers, who have the previous and its starting to get long in the tooth.

Right.. They could have at least been a little less lazy and actually came up with a new color scheme. See my original comment on that.
