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.

Phil--

This is what I would personally like to see out of a new ball.  One of the problems I have with  many new releases is how strong the backend reaction is.  This can be phenomenal on a THS, but in tourneys it often leaves me wanting.  This is particularly true in what I would call "medium condition" balls.  Too many of them, IMO, are just too plain strong.  I want a ball that will get through the drying heads, and not overreact in the back part of the lane.  I love the reaction of my Mean Machine on medium heavy oil because it NEVER overreacts.  It has a nice, smooth, readable transition throughout the lane that helps me reach the pocket consistently on tougher shots as well as gauge the small adjustments necessary to improve carry.  Now, when it becomes too strong, many of the "medium" oil balls I have tried turn out to be over/under nightmares.  I want to see a smooth, controllable transition down the lane with hitting power and readability, I don't need my "medium" ball to cover 15 boards.  Don't even get me started with so called "dry" lane balls.  Ugh!

Mr. Lebowski, this is Bill Salnicker with the Southern Cal Bowling League, and I just got a, an informal report, that a member of your team, uh, Walter Sobchak, drew a firearm during league play. If this is true of course, it contravenes a number of the league's by-laws, and article 27 of the league...

Something that will give a nice, controlled, and consistent reaction on medium-heavy oil conditions.  Just a strong, well-rounded ball.  Something like a Triton Elite (the purple one with MICA...I loved MICA!!!!).

i would love to see something with the phoenix core, but with more of hook in the ball, something that could be able to get left and play the inside...i had one and it was only a down and in ball and jsut didnt like it, but loved the carry it had, so the phoenix bt stronger i think would be great

Frankly, I am already planing to buy 2 of the first balls from Global 300 because my wife wants one as much as I do.  Why?  1.  Great product and 2.  Accessibility - you post on this forum, and we feel as though you are a working person just like us.

The ball reaction desired is smooth, even tempered and forgiving.  A light oil monster for my summer league would be much appreciated.

In one of your posts, about the time that the Threshhold was released several months ago, you seemed quite excited about your experiments working toward finding the optimum mid-differential.  I would like to see that work come to fruition.

A strong mid lane, but nothing crazy on the backend.
My Action Max is the first ball that comes to mind.

The latest and greatest creations could be the Asymmetrical Symmetrical creations or the Warped AS from Lane #1.  A ball that can get thru the thickest of oil (2007 Nationals) yet still be usable on the somewhat dryer THS.  A coverstock that is not the oil sucking covers that will hold up with proper care for many games a week!!  A ball with colors that are appealing to the eye as the ball travels down the lane more so than just sitting in the rack!!  A ball that I can shoot my 2nd 300 game with!!

I think you should come out with a line of balls that are much like the Dyno-Thane Vendetta line, which was a great line. I would like to see large amounts of high quality urethane and the same weight block in every ball (with some minor tweaks), much like the visionary centaur line. I think the Soaker cover would work nicely with a the old Triton Heat core. Please start with a solid reactive and add a pearl reactive, particle pearl, Particle solid. One unique twist would be to also produce a true dry lane ball much like the Desert Heat or the Slate Blue Gargoyle. This ball line would work for the true tournament player as well as work on the THS.

My personal preference would be one word: SMOOTH. Everything today is so strong on the backend, very little out there allows for play straighter on the lanes any more. However, it seems backend sells, so I guess a skid/flip that minimizes over/under would work, probably something low rg block, skid/flippy cover.

I was thinking something like the original inferno.  Something that has a versitle cover with a low rg and high diff core.  I don't think a ball like that can go wrong.  Plus make it look cool. Maybe Black and Red.  Most people want a ball that looks cool.  And please no super big ugly labels.

PLEASE! No more remakes. Not for a little while at least. I can only sell so many Vendetta's. I know they still sell but the world begs for NEW.

Versatility and Predictability a deadly combination. Strong roll back and not very angular.

I would assume that the best selling ball would be something pearlized that has a strong backend to it (i.e. Big Shot) Needs to be some sort of higher end ball.  I don't think starting off a company with your low end 3-piece bowling balls will get the company off to a great start.  I definately would not go with a particle.  and I probably would not go with any type of solid reactive.  The closest I'd go to solid reactive would be a ball like the Action Attack where the finish grit on it is really high so it doesn't act like a solid nor a pearl.  

Now with all that aside.  My personal preference would be something midline, pearlized, with a fairly even roll.  something like a wrath, or hijinx.  Hope this helps.
