Win a 300 Global ball and the winner is....
« on: April 15, 2007, 12:47:01 PM »
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 would look for something with adjustibility as its key feature.  I think Ebonite has it with the TNV, although I think as the PBA Exprience gains popularity, all bowlers will be searching for a baseline ball that can be adjusted for specific conditions, but I think for my game, I am always looking for a skid/snap backend reaction ball that is very non-condition specific but isn't that what everyone would like?

I would love to see a very smooth, predictable ball that one could use as a benchmark.  Polished solid coverstock with a medium range of RG.  Symmetrical, of course, and take very well to surface adjustments.

Here is my wish list.

I want a ball that gets past the midlane but does not easly go past the breakpoint.  I would like to have at least 3 boards to play with at the break.

The ball would have to hit very hard and be usable for most lane conditions.

The ball would also have to sense when it is being thrown from the left side of the lane.  When this happens, it should immediatly go onto a end over end roll, the coverstock should release additonal oil, making it go straight for the 7 pin and the track should migrate directly over the thumb hole.  Anything thrown on the right side, should be considered normal.

It should keep its box reaction for a least 70 games with very little maintenance.

I would call this ball "A Keeper".

For me, something like the Absolute Inferno or the Hybrid DirtyBomb. Gets through the heads with ease, strong midlane roll, and a nice strong arc off the back. A very versatile reaction that's easy to control and offers optimum carry on a wider array of conditions.

Another thing worth noting, I'm a big fan of bright logos and I'm sure quite a few others are too. Makes it easier to read the ball going down the lane as well as making it more eye appealing to the crowd. As we know, visualization, altough it shouldn't, plays a big part in choosing equipment.

Being a old time Track person I think the original stuff was some of the best. a ball with a mild aggressive cover slightly dull (4000 grit) and a tall core with dual flip blocks to get the ball through the heads but turn it over with some energy when it encounters friction. This would be a benchmark ball for me.

Thanks,

Another medium RG, medium diff, matte-finished solid reactive that will give some length but not skate in carrydown.  Something similar to the black Vendetta, seeing as how I've pretty much missed my chance at getting one.  The season's ending soon and I'll have money to get my free ball drilled.

I'd like to see the marriage of something like the Soaker cover with a lower RG reaction of a ball like the Black Widow.

Personally I'd like to see a ball similar in reaction to the old Lane 1 Emerald Pearl Buzzsaw.

I liked the strong rolling core with the control based coverstock. No super duper flippy backend, no super grabby particle coverstocks just a strong even rolling ball that can handle a medium-light condition without turning sideways off the oil.

The other option would be the similar reaction in a tame solid resin (like the Blueberry Buzzsaw).

I personally feel that more and more bowlers want smooth and predictable now as opposed to the super duper hook monsters they were seeking a few years ago....

The original element core or the vendetta core with a soaker cover. Whip up a good blend to matchup with todays oils. You can't go wrong with either of those. Maybe you find someother guy for a day or two to get the cover just right.

I'll buy them because 300 Global will make great balls.

The track record is enough for me.  Phil makes great stuff, and the other guys are top notch too!

Whatever they make, whatever reaction they choose, I'm sure the balls will be great!

Dry lanes give me a lot more problems than oily lanes.  I'd like to see a strong dynamic core wrapped in a urethane coverstock, similar to the recently discontinued Slate Blue Gargoyle.  --  JohnP

The type of ball that i like is versatile & smooth. If you have these 2 things in a ball then i'd say your onto a winner as you can control the ball without an over/under reaction on different lane conditions, as its more predictable.

For the first launch of a company, especially one that will have the reputation of truly catering to the bowler's needs, I think the first release should be a strong solid reactive that would be as versatile as possible to cover a wide range of conditions with coverstock adjustments (mediums to medium heavy).  The core could be symmetric or asymmetric.  I'm thinking of a Storm Special Agent (lower RG, higher differential) or Ebonite V2 Sanded in it's prime.  Those are 2 balls of which you can see multiples on ball returns, as well as in many different coverstock preps.

Currently, I have a Special Agent.  In the box 2000 grit abralon in can handle heavy to medium heavy effectively.  In it's current state of 4000 abralon it handles a medium to medium-heavy shot great.  This is all with a standard label drilling, no extra holes.  Now with polish I've seen it take on mediums in other's hands very well.  This type of product with different drillings and coverstock preps would be the perfect versatile product that you could get into the most bowler's hands immediately.

Solid reactive cover, versatile, easy to adjust.

Strong, but simple, core design.  Nothing fancy, just power.

Call the new ball the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)!

Versatile and durable coverstock;  Controllable reaction; Simple / proven core.

Looking forward to seeing / using your new products.
