quote:Didnt Global start this with their cover ratings 2 years ago? I think they still use it and couple it with a name. Best of both worlds......This is a cool idea but i know my customers still like names.....Naming the ball a number can get boring after awhile. What are they going to do when they run out of MB to hit? 930.1 version 10x? Sounds like an ebonite coverstock hahahahahaa
quote:If the ball rolls nice and people strike alot with it who cares what the name is. Track is not marketing to the Rock-N-Bowl market. This is a ball company for serious bowlers. Serious bowlers care about performance and color. No matter what anyone says, color is a factor.

Serious bowlers care about performance and color. No matter what anyone says, color is a factor.I agree. Track has always been a techy brand. When Track was in its hayday they had techy nerdy bowlers as well as bowlers looking for a good ball. Problem is now they are alienating more and more bowlers. Think about it if a guy walks in and has no clue about this naming system they are not going to make a new customer. Serious techy bowlers are shrinking, and just because this is a serious bowler company doesnt mean they are brand loyal due to a number naming system. I have always had a soft spot for track, i just dont know how this is going to increase brand awareness...Yes it will make them different but when your chasing sometimes its better to blend in before you try to divert. this could be a huge gamble.

quote:Britton,Does your contract with Storm read that you must not only promote Storm/Roto Grip but bash all of the other brands that once gave you free equipment as well? Did you have to sharpen the knife they gave you to cut your own throat or did it come pre-sharpened? I wonder if Storm will renew your contract next year when they realize how little they are getting for their money.

I think it's an interesting idea to use a name that tells you what to expect from the piece.I suppose. I guess we'll just have to see what happens when they release. I for one am not that fond at all of the "names" when I can see them on the spec sheet. Ironic enough, it can be seen as a lack of creativity to not give them names, but yet creative to give them numbers. It's all in how a person sees it.--------------------Hope this is not Chris' blood....http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v690/Phoenix_RsX
