We will give away one of our first launches. we will randomly select one lucky ballreviews submitter. simply tell us what you feel the performance you are looking for from the first 300 Global launch.  We will close the feedback Wed 17th at noon. Tell us either by comparing it to an existing product from other companies line or tell us the ultimate reaction you desire.Or simply tell us why you would buy a 300 Global ball. We will IM you and let you know when the ball will be shipped to the lucky winner. I know you will all do a good job because of the support you have shown me in the past. This is my way of gathering info and saying thanks.

We're describing a reaction that every company has in their arsenal from at least one ball, usually several balls at different price ranges.  Shouldn't come as a big surprise.

I would be open to try almost any new ball. Especially one from a company with so much experience behind them. One of my main wishes is for a new ball to have is a durable cover. One that can be adjusted some and not completely lose the ability to put it back to oob reaction. It seems as most of the new balls being produced the covers will not hold up to that standard. I wish your new company the best of luck and look forward to trying one when introduced.

Black Vendetta anyone?  Whatever it ends up being it should make a good benchmark ball that all the future 300 Global equipment could be based off of.  Shouldn't need to be at the top of the line price point either.  There was/is a LOT of bang for the buck with the Vendettas.

I would like to see a symetrical core ball with a pearl cover that doesn't make a left turn the moment it sees dry. Something with a heavy arc type of reaction. My Absolute Inferno with 500+ games gives me this type of reation and read. So I guess what I am asking for is a rolly ball with a medium aggressive coverstock.
Good Luck in all your ventures!

Phil,

First off, good luck with your new venture.  I wish you much success (your success will translate into our success).

I would like to see a good medium condition, benchmark ball that could be adjusted for heavier/medium or lighter/medium with tweaking.  This would be a good first ball that you could start building an arsenal from.  It should be solid resin, maybe a solid/pearl hybrid, with a coverstock that is both durable and thick.  The cover should be able to get through the heads to save energy and also be able to handle carrydown.  I would like to see a symmetric core with a low RG and medium Diff.  It should also have a high Coefficient of Restitution (does anybody still use this term?).  Thanks for all of the sharing of information you do on this board and for asking for our input.  Good luck....John

I want a ball that I can throw 18.5 mph on med-heavy oil with about 350rpms around 20 board and swing to 10 and have come back and strike with ease

That would be the remote controlled ball.

This may have been said,but I'll put in my .02 ............
1.Durable,yet tunable coverstock.
2.Driller friendly to any style,from high to low track players,and full rollers also.
3.Medium to high medium RG for predictability.
4.Medium price range.

The more angular a ball is, the easier it is to control.

Uhhh....that's never been my idea of easy to control.  More angular typically means more over-under, less predictable, and less controllable.


My bad Shelly. I meant a ball that is arcing. Not angular as I described "not being to snappy".

quote:
I know D.T. was the first to come out with the now ever popular "soaker" coverstocks, but these balls are high maintenance for the once a week, casual bowler. In the near future, if possible, I would like to see 300 Global make a low maintenance soaker. I think a ball like that would be very popular.


quote:
The point of Soaker is to have long life without requiring heavy maintenance.  Almost anything will last forever if you maintain it obsessively.  My limited experience with Soaker (I have a Thing Lives and an Energy, both with 300+ games) tells me that they require little maintenance at all.


Alot of people are talking about ball death with some of these new coverstocks, i.e. C300 EPX. I was not directing my comments just to D.T. balls.
But yes, if you do clean and maintain the coverstocks, they will last.

I HAVE READ ALL THE POSTS AND BASICALLY WHAT EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR IS A BLACK VENDETTA WITH A SOAKER COVER STOCK, AND I AGREE.

The epoxy cover is not even in the same league as the new generation of covers designed for longevity.  The trend today is towards longer-lasting covers, and Soaker really led that charge five or six years ago when the original Element came out.  Activator, PK18, Reactor, Soaker, and Lanemasters covers are all very long lasting, lower-maintenance covers.  Some balls are higher maintenance, but there are plenty of very long lasting covers available that are low maintenance.

I want innovation. If I wanted a Vendetta I would simply buy one. Either make the Phoenix or something totally new. NEW always sells. Please don't just become the old Columbia/Track with a different name. Use AMF300 for the remakes. Start by remaking all of the Nighthawks and everything else that sold well ten years ago.

Well, here is my input. I am and always will be a Hammer guy. I would love a ball that has more backend than any other ball out in the market today. It would need to be for heavy oil. I would also like it to be where if you don't put much hand in the ball, it will pick up roll and still move a bit.

I would like to see a ball that would help tweeners and strokers increase their entry angle.  Basically a ball similar to ebonites the One with a tad bit more midlane read but with more longevity.
