Should we produce them just for the sake of producing them or because the market needs them? We will listen to our customers and produce what is needed when it is needed, 3 may be too many.

Bowling This Month recognises them. They are on the Map. 900Global will be a player in Bowling Shoes, also. Sure, kind of silly that BallReviews.com doesn't - A Forum is a discussion place for upcoming releases also; not wise to fragment a manufacturer into several places. After all, there are seasoned Bowling Industry (Ex - Colombia) players as part of the 900Global team.  It is inevitable that 900Global will have one soon, by popular demand.

With the success newguy has had over the years with bowling equipment it is only obvious the equipment from 900global will be great stuff. My next purchase will be a 900global ball based on the reactions and longevity of the DT equipment I own. Kudos Phil a lot of us will be getting your equipment and 900global deserves it's own forum.

900 Global should have its own forum, if for no other reason, NEWGUY is always up and answering questions about his products.  I feel if someone like NEWGUY (or VBPAdvertising (Jason) on the Visionary forum) is getting up on these forums and answering questions with answers that are "straight from the horse's mouth" and not speculation, they should have a forum to do it in.

Just my $0.02 worth.

To be fair, if it was decided to give 900Global their own forum now, ELite and Banger would have to their own first.

I think this is a database volume and server access consideration. If there are enough balls to warrant enough discussion, then it's feasible to assign forums to that manufacturer's balls. Since 900Global's ball have just been released, is there enough discussion to warrant the work necessary to support more forums, initially and over the long run?

One consideration that is quite different that the aforementioned "other" Ball Companies.  Elite is made by Brunswick, and Banger by Visionary. 900Global actually makes their own product and is manufacturing (pouring) other branded AMF and Lane#1 products.  Higher up the on the Ball Food Chain, if you will.  Good points though, Charlest - as always.

Not sure what you're saying here or trying to imply. What difference does it make who makes their balls? They are not owned by the company who makes them. Otherwise Storm would own 900global, as they made the Break for 900Global.
Besides Banger balls are not talked about in the Visionary forum and ELite balls are not talked about in the Brunswick forum. Or on the other hand, Should Lane#1 and AMF balls be talked about in the new 900Global forum (whenever it arrives)?

You've confused me.

I was just making the point that 900Global is a "soon to be" (manufacturing balls, Now ) MAJOR manufacturer.  Should be allowed to have a forum with it's competitors (Ebonite, Storm, Brunswick, Visionary, and Lanemasters).  No, I don't think that Lane#1 or AMF should be commingled in the same Forum - because of obvious design and marketing differences.

If it is too early, for mass appeal, than that would be ok by me too.  Just feel that 900Global will be a player in the grand scheme of things and should be given that respect. (they quite possibly have the experience to back it up, and be successful). With that being said, I'll give them the benefit of any doubt.

I beileve they can be a significant player in the near future; as of right now, they are not. But the final decision is up to the website administrator. Enough voices desiring may override his previously stated factors of number of balls and number of posts. Not for me to say. I offered my opinion. Phil has made more than one ball of which I have made excellent use. I can only assume he will do that again for a great many bowler. Is it being done right now? no.

They are already up and going.  They are not using Storms coverstocks on the Break.  Storm produced them with Globals coverstocks and Blocks.  They have already produced 2 balls at the Plant.  1-was the AMF release of the Heist and the 2nd is the Creature.  They are done using Storm for their release's.

Please, answer this.

Why should they NOT get their own forum?  They have just as much right to be here as the next company.  Does it take sponsorhip money to have your own forum on this site?  Is this the reason for not having a forum for other companies until a few months after their existence?  G900 is a new brand with good bloodlines.  Geesh.  If they fall apart and go belly up, take the darn thread away.  Exactly how much work is it to create/delete this anyhow?

Banger doesn't have it's own forum that I'm aware of.  Elite does though.

The first thing Global 900 needs is a listing under the ball manufacturers list on the side and they should be included in the new releases.

It is my understanding that 900 global has contracts to produce balls for AMF and Lane 1.... and 900 global is producing balls under their own brand name as well.  It looks as though 900 global is not a dream company.  

In fact there are many posts with questions and answers about the new balls that date back to before 300/900 global had a web site of its' own. There is more than enough interest to provide a forum heading under the 900 global name.

No, a new forum heading will not create world peace, but it would be a kindness here.

I think they should.


They should also continue to work on their marketing. If I started a company the first few release would be something that really gets your attention and looks like you can't bowl with out it. The Break, and The Creature look like something elementary school kids thought up. And probably won't be flying off the shelves anytime soon.

Hey Dynoless daddy....i am gonna take your money when i get back!![}}

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

I believe 900 Global deserves their own forum since they are now PBA registered and approved for PBA use.

I am for 900 Global having their own forum just as much as everyone else. Phil and company know their stuff.

This site is affiliated with bowling.com. (900 Global does not sell to the internet dealers.) Do you think bowling.com/ballreviews.com will recognize 900 Global? That would be a big fat NO.

Also, bowlingballreviews.com/buddiesproshop will not recognize 900 Global. No reviews will be available on that site. 900G balls are not recognized as "new release." No mention whatsoever. Yet. Will they ever? Dunno.

No, If they dont want to sell to online places, and the sponsers here are that then no. !!!

Why should they, IF ANY company takes that approach.

Like I said if ANY company takes this approach ( not selling to online shops/stores ) , let them start their "OWN" forum on their "OWN" web page, and see how much traffic they get !!!

pnj1967 your exactly right...


People come on the net to talk about balls, read reviews and get info about them. Most are looking to purchase something new. What happens when all these would-be customers can't buy the ball on the net ?

Most would look for something else...lol

I dont think that Gobal 900 understands that ALOT of proshop are just there to make a buck and rape the customer for as much money as possible. So when they (Gobal 900) sells only to proshops and the proshops want $200 + for a ball and people can't get anywhere cheaper....People look for other brands to buy.

Nothing wrong with having your product avalible on the net. Why they want to limit themselves from all the internet orders is beyond me. Look at all the sales they could make.

Why not use all avalible ways to sell your product ?

LOL

302efi, Global is and probably will end up being a very very good company, with Phil involved .

 But with their approach like this I for one will not be getting any thing from a company that does this ( sales only to certain ones ).

 Who knows maybe this is a start of some thing all together different then we are use to, with fewer ball manufactures.

900Global should get their own forum because their equipment are registered on the PBA approved list.

Sign me up.

Bottom line, we are all bowlers.  If you wnt to get into the marketing aspect of the business, then go open a pro shop, online ship, become a distributor, or make you own balls.  Stop discussing something you know nothing about.

As a BOWLER, I want to discuss ALL the equipment that is available to me, not just what the seller (store) can get or has in stock.

If the forum section is going to be tied into what they can sell or not sell, then they are doing us BOWLERS a injustice.

The fact that I'm in the proshop (part time) and see count-less numbers of internet balls come in to get drilled...Yeah I would'nt anything about that at all...lol

Injustice?...How so ?!

Incase you didnt notice, this is a PRIVATE OWNED forum which means they can do what they want.

Why advertise something they can't sell ?..Sounds like good business to me...

Why waste time and effort on helping them out, if they can't let you sell there gear. Damn, thats a win-win-win situation !

Agreed! Give 900 forum space. 900 seems to be a player with staying power (helped by the industry roots of their management, their own manufacturing plant, and knowledge from retaining the former Columbia employees.

Buying a new ball online isn't worth the trouble. You have to pay $20 or $25 just to have it shipped to your door, and then a local shop is going to charge you at least $40 to drill it.  For the lousy $25 bucks you'll save by buying it online, it's just not worth the hassle. Support your local pro shop before they can't afford to keep the doors open.

One exception to the rule: if you find a ball on close-out at a huge discount, especially if your ship can't get it, then it makes sense. Otherwise, why bother?
