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.

I don't have very much money and bowling balls are VERY expensive (especially in Europe)so I would look for a ball that has logevity (so that I can use it for a long time) and one where it is possible to use on a variety of different conditions (from say med-light to med-heavy) that way with a few adaptations of ball speed and hand positions, I could probably cover most conditions I come across because I don't have enough money to buy a ball for every condition.

The type of ball I would like to see is a release that would start out the idea of what a bowling ball company should try to do. The idea that a company should have is to offer the types of reactions to where a bowler can go to a company and know they are seleting a ball that will aide in building a real arsenal. To know you are buying a ball that was intended to fit into a spot in a arsenal is the idea or should be when you buy a ball.

  The idea shouldnt be to buy the newest and biggest hooking ball every 3 months, or 4 months, ect. To me when you start a company and you are going to let out your first release you need to have the ball that starts you off make a statement as to what your company is for. What I would like to see is a ball that is made for medium conditions when in its OOB state. Then if you need to you can sand it down and have a med-heavy ball or if need be really sand it and have a heavy oil ball. Then you would also like to see the ball be able to taken to a smoother finish and have a mid-light condition ball. The ball has to be versital, yet it must have a consistant reaction, and a life longivity that wont die out after 30-40 games.


  There was a ball that was set to hit the market that all these aspects in it. That ball was the phoenix, the brain child of Phil C. while he was back with track. The overall reaction of that ball was something that every bowler needs in there bag. The problem there was the ball wasnt release becasue of some unknown reasons but what ever they were the best ball IMO in almost 3 years was but in its grave before it even took flight. The reason I will buy 3G bowling balls is, the idea that Phil has to release bowling balls in a way to build a complet arsenal is something I like.

  I also like the idea of having the mix of symetrical and asymetrical equipment. This blend gives the bowler the ability to have multiple balls with a coverstock they trust but lets them get the smoothness of a symetrical ball that they know will be consistant though the games and the ability to switch to that asymetrical ball when you feel you need to help fine tune your reaction off the breakpoint. I know that everything I stated is something you will find from 300 Global. With the likes of Phil C. in a posistion of power in this company I know we will see alot of his ideas in this company.

  To me the reaction I am looking for is the same reaction the phoenix gave. To those who have seen it thrown or thrown this ball, you know what I am talking about. The reaction of this ball needs no statement of how it reacted other then the words of "Strong and smooth through out." That is all I have to say about that reaction and I know Phil can match that reaction so it can finally be let out into the bowling world.

(The fallowing is said in a larry the cable guy type voice) "You mean to tell me that if I drill a Mass bias Ba-all, that the cd dunt matter for anything other then wens you weight it up?"

"Freak Bowling Ball cleaner of the TRACK Revolution."

Another Black Vendetta, or the High Energy with a solid cover.

I am looking forward to see new stuff from a new company, anyway. I am not sure if it will become available in Europe, but I take close looks at the market and like to try new and "exotic" stuff.

What I expect from such a new venture is a start with "sound and versatile" balls. Solid performers for a wide range of use, for basic lane conditions and bowlers' needs. Special interest balls or highz performance stuff is nice, but IMHO not the ultima ratio.

I'd like to see something at the upper range of the performance middle field, e. g. something like the recently deceased Vendetta Black solid, Track's Slash or the early Blades. Could be a solid (sheen) and pearl (polished) reactive version to have a good couple. I'd also prefer a coverstock that does not sacrifice durability for hooking/grip potential. Maintenance/cleaning is O.K., but having the next oil sponge just for the sake of more angular hook is IMHO a dead end and nothing smart to start with. Sure, easy tuning of the surface through sanding or polish would be highly appreciated

As a core, I'd like some core with medium-low RG (2.5-2.53") with a med-high RG diff. (0.04-0.05), symmetric or, if asymmetric, with a low mass bias. Not for the great flip, just with great room for individual adaptation and driller-friendliness.

My personal idea behind these would be a couple of balls for medium-dry and medium-oily conditions, nothing fancy.

Just my 2 cents... anyway, good luck with 300 Global

I'd be interested in a ball as durable as the Thing, as adjustable as the Ultimate Inferno and as pretty to look at as the X-Factor.

Phil,

Many of us who crank the ball experience over-reaction with some reactive resin equipment. The ball I would like to see is similar to the Ebonite SR300: low RG (2.45 to 2.49) and a differential in the high .03x.


The cover should be something like your famed Soaker resin and utilize abraon/TCS cover prep. There appears to be many complaints that Ebonite's GB covers are "dying". Your covers have a reputation for long life.

I'd like mid-lane read, but with a stronger arc on the backend. However, the ball should should not hook-set, but still give good length without snapping hard when reading the dry.

The weight block should be either low mass bias or symmetrical; perhaps even something new like the Lane #1 G-Forces or Brunswick Fury (as just something different)?

Later, you could incorporate a particle pearl cover (one of my personal favorites) and other covers for differing conditions.

In essence, you should have a ball that's a "first ball out of the bag/baseline/league ball" like Columbia300 said it had in the "Big Shot", but marketed for crankers who crave control.

Currently, I'm rolling Hammer, but I'm not locked into any particular company.

I would welcome a ball that provides decent length with a strong but predictable backend reaction on a typical 40' synthetic lane house shot.  I would love to see a particle pearl Soaker matched with a medium RG core.
