Title: Best looking ball on the market
Post by: Amazing on November 19, 2007, 11:57:18 AM: Okay I would like to know your opinion on the best looking ball on the market. Not performance, just looks. I don't care if you hate the ball I just would like to know what you think is the best looking ball on the market and why.

Mine is the Hole Finder Pearl by Banger and the Black Widow Pearl by Hammer.

Title: Re: Best looking ball on the market
Post by: Dan Belcher on November 20, 2007, 06:16:37 AM: The darker-colored Shift balls I've seen are really nice looking. Going way back in the day here to circa 1996, the original Storm Firestorm was an awesome looking piece (and a great ball -- my mom shot a 300 with it back then).

On the other hand, my mostly-yellow Awesome Revs is the ugliest ball I've ever owned, and in my opinion one of the ugliest ever made. Good thing it's one of the best-performing balls I've ever used!
Title: Re: Best looking ball on the market
Post by: novawagonmaster on November 20, 2007, 07:06:29 AM: Lane #1 Cobalt Pearl
Lane #1 HRG
Ebonite NVS

And the ugly ball award goes to... Lane #1 Dirty Bomb pearl...YUCK!

Post by: dizzyfugu on November 20, 2007, 09:18:15 AM: From the current balls, the BW Pearl really looks pretty, and the LevRG is... distinctive. The Rampage is also a nice piece, as well as the Rival.

Some balls are basically pretty, but it depends on the indivual ball - e. g. the original Infernos. The orange/smoke color was nice, also a good match for the ball's name, but I have only seen 2 or 3 specimen that really lived up to the description "pretty". Most looked rather ugly and dull.

From antique balls, I must say I like the clean style of the Raging Red Fuze or Reaction Rip - single, bright color pearl balls. Very simple, but als stylish and elegant.

Post by: difiCa on November 20, 2007, 10:10:32 AM: The Attitude Shift, the Roto-Grip Epic Quest and the Epic Battle.

I also have to say, that the Radical is very good looking as well, the Radical logo is unfortunately one of the ugliest Inferno logos. Radical with the Fury logo for example would be much better. But for me, any dull ball will catch my eye. There's something about matte finishes for me.

Before I went to Visionary, I had trouble finding my bowling balls on the rack. Sometimes, I would pick up the wrong ball and not realize it until I started to wipe it off. Now that I use Visionary bowling balls, I have absolutely no trouble finding them on the rack.

Post by: revTrex on November 20, 2007, 11:13:05 AM: If we were taking a vote on this, might I suggest that we combine the NHP and the Supernova XP, given their (nigh-identical) similarities?
Title: Re: Best looking ball on the market
Post by: Spartan on November 20, 2007, 11:23:11 AM: the total nv has always caught my eye, and my angular one is really nice looking(and rolling) piece. i've always liked the sr300 too. other good ones to me are the anger, doom, animal, resurgence, and machine.
