I want the Black Panther Pro Edition
« on: November 30, 2010, 08:00:22 AM »
Make the exact ball as the Pink but make it Black..

I have lost potential sales of this ball due to men not wanting pink..

I have to agree. I always said the color of the ball didn't matter, but then I found there was an exception. Pretty big marketing mistake seems to me.

If the "men" thought about it, the pink color can actually be an advantage. I find when I use my Pink Panther in league, bowlers tend to focus more on my shots than their own bowling.

It definitely doesn't hurt.

I guess I'm just not as secure in my masculinity as you are Steven!

Ahh, you're being modest....

To really bring the effect home, I bought a matching pink shirt I wear when I know I'm going to throw it. I'm not a big fan of the color pink, but it's fun getting reactions.

Everyone takes it in good fun.

You just need the pink shoelaces and you're all set!

I love the PINK and the reaction it gets when it destroys the pocket. I'm kinda hoping Lane 1 design a bright yellow (BIG BIRD).
The other night in league I took my Big Curve, Pink Panther my marble polished Tsunami put them on the ball return....they focused so much on my arsenal and how I used it, they never got into the match.

I can see Bean's point, cause I'm sure there are men who won’t use a PINK ball...  But I have to be honest I don't remember a ball in recent history that I have had so many people asking about it.

I love my Pink Panther and it rolls great.. I have sold some and have interest BECAUSE it is pink but I have had a few Lane#1 fans that passed on it because it was pink..

My idea is the Pro Edition or Tournament Edition....

Black Panther.....
Dark grey Engraving so there is NO color rotating on the ball. The label would be light enough to read but dark enough to not see the rotation and also a grey Pin...

It would be geared to the avid tourney player...

I hope to get a Pink Panther one of these days.  Then I'll show up to bowl with that ball,  my Pink Raspberry /C2 and my Pink Hammer

If they make a ball named the Black Panther, I hope they put the image of a closed fist on the side of it..

I don't have the Tsunami but I used the Black Fire (Tiger Ball)to my advantage too.
