900 Gobal website looks terrible
« on: September 18, 2007, 01:05:12 AM »
I don't know if its my computer or that the 900 Global website looks terribe.

I really can't find any information (well, very little) on the website and what little information it does have has write over on the information that is there on Balls: The Break.

They should take the website down until at least they can fix the small amount of information that is there.

I realize they are a newly formed manufactuer, but even more so that they would have a professional website if they were to have one at all.

I think the website looks much better with the potential to have a lot more flexability for information.  I mean this as a good thing.

I think it was great of Newguy and company to make a quick transition.  Do I think there is any more information on the modified website, not realy, but I am able to read whats on the website and again, the website has great potential.

And I mean all of things as good things.  This is not intended as a slam or a slight.  I think its a great start.

Is it hosted on the same server?  If it's a new server, it might have something to do with DNS servers.  If not, might be cached info on some proxy servers.

I would like to make a brief comment about what should/should not be on the website, and the reasons for doing so.

Phil suggested that complex technical information should be left to the drillers and pro/shops. I understand his logic on this, but I offer this alternative viewpoint: as a consumer who wants technical information (in todays instant gratification society), will I probably choose a ball where I can easily find this information when I want it rather than buy a ball where I can only get info. when the pro/shop is open.

Also, keep this in mind: The better bowlers stereotypically know more about the game and the technology than the avg. recreational "glow bowler". These good bowlers are the people with considerable interest in the technical details because small incremental scoring increases require much more effort when you're performing at a high level. Those recreational bowlers who want to get better usually look to the good bowlers around them, and try to emulate them. This includes buying similar balls, trying similar styles, and learning all they can.

By corollary, if you offer the technical information as requested/required by the better bowler in order to get their business, then you will also likely get the interest (and sales) of the improving rec. bowler.

In this sense, it's just good business to provide the technical information. Your competition is doing it. The bowlers want it. 'Nuff said.  

Thanks for reading.

I understand both sides of the argument.  Before I started drilling my own stuff, I would read stuff here and think I knew everything.  I'd take the ball to my pro shop and tell him how I wanted it drilled (or how I thought I wanted it drilled).  

Usually he'd look at it, ask me some questions and they tell me how he thought I should have it drilled.  It usually ended with "I'll drill it like that, but you won't be happy with it."

So, yes, sometimes too much information is a bad thing.  And, sometimes we need to be able to recognize that sometimes other people know more than we do and to take their advice.
