Title: Coolest looking ball?
Post by: ThomasBowling on May 06, 2016, 07:16:56 AM
What's the coolest looking ball in your opinion?
Retired or not.

The Jackal was the coolest one in my bag.
The Ultimate Nirvana and the Phaze look very artsty :P

I think the Visionary Clear Gargoyle ball is pretty nice.  I have one, and no matter how many times I used to bring it out, I always got people asking me questions about it.  I don't use it much any more due to it having a slight crack in the bridge, but its still a conversation piece.

DV8 Brutal Nightmare.

But the coolest look to me is the X on the score no matter what is used to get it.

I have a Track Flamin T clear that is awesome looking, even better than the spare tire. The Hammer Everclear is pretty cool looking as well.


But you can decide, I've attached a pic of my small collection of clear balls.  ;D


As for a good looking non-clear ball it's a tie for me between the Legends World Class Reactive and the Seismic Solaris Platinum. Both are awesome looking.


Or any solid black shiny ball looks great too.

Milo beat me to it with the Hammer Cube. I'd again add in that Optyx Formula 1, and Gas Mask Clear to that list.

BL.

I've been after a Gas Mask Clear for quite some time, but have not found one for a reasonable price. That's a cool looking ball.

It's somewhat easy to imagine actually. There are three racks like the one in the picture, each has six shelves, the balls in the pic is on the top two shelves. The bottom four shelves each have ten balls. The other two racks have ten balls per shelf and are full.

And there are maybe 15 or so sitting on the floor that do not fit on the racks.

But that's just the undrilled ones...  :o

Sell my babies? Please...

Actually, I have quite a few for sell right now here, on ebay and a couple other sites. I'm "culling the herd" so to speak.

If you want one of the clear ones, you better have a shape knife handy to cut off that arm and leg.  ;D ;D

But you don't have any of the most beautiful clear balls ever made (in my opinion), the Ebonite Gemstone series. They came in green, blue, red and purple. Here's some pictures, but they don't do the ball justice. In person, they are orgasmically beautiful.

Very true, I've seen the Ruby one and the Emerald one, but the guy who owned them wouldn't even discuss a price. LOL

I've gotten quite a few compliments on my Roto Grip Loco Pearl. Kind of funny since it's the cheapest strike ball I own. I like it because it reminds of the Storm Eraser I had back in the early aughts.

My Phaze is pretty sick. A lot of bright yellow/white mixed with dark blue pearl. Its pretty eye-catching compared to most of the other Phaze's.
