Title: Best looking ball ever?
Post by: RyanRPS on May 01, 2008, 11:45:06 PM
So I'm sure this has been asked on here before, but what the heck...

what do you guys and gals think is the best looking ball ever, and if it needs explaining, why?

Hammer No Mercy with black finger grips, and a black thumb slug.  Gotta love the retro all black look going down the lane!

The Sling Blade is gorgeous.  I only ever saw one, but was absolutely floored by how beautiful it was.  I haven't really seen anything that like, caught my eye big time.  The Twisted Fury is awesome looking going down the lane.  I like Storm's darker blue/red/violet balls, but they're not like, awesome looking.  yeah, I can't think of anything so I'll just go with an old black rubber ball.  Or an 8 pound house ball

In the eighties, my Columbia Black U-Dot was a beauty, not to mention that it was a ball that I felt I could shoot honor scores with anytime I met a condition that had a good amount of oil.

Mine would have to be the CLEAR GARGOYLE - no other ball on the planet gets more attention when its pulled out of a bag, sitting on a rack, or perched on a table!

    I think the Ebonite Eyeball trumps the Clear Gargoyle... sorry.

    I love the way the Horizon Pearl and the Thunderstruck look.  

    The Horizon with the red, bronze, brown colors just looks great going down the lane and the Thunderstruck, with the solid purple I think just looks neat...smells pretty good too.

    Roto Spare Tire.

    Looks awesome going down the lane.
    Wish it had a resin coverstock on it.
    Watching the tire inside flipover would be interesting to see.

    Just a few for me:
    1) Brunswick Twisted Fury- Looks good with sick backend.
    2) Lane 1 Supernova XP- Looks Cool. Never Thrown it.
    3) Ebonite Matrix Dynasty- Liked the Black and Gold Mix
    4) Ebonite Illusion- Cool color changes.
    5) Ebonite Big Time Pearl- Again, looked cool with a sick backend but cover died rather quick.

    Brand-new, nicely polished lignum vitae. Nothing better than a well-made wood orb.

    Ok, for real, I'd say Break Pearl. Silver and orange is striking, to say the least.

    And usedtolikebowling...gag me with a spoon, too. Go Hoos!
