Title: What LM/L Ball would you like released again?
Post by: TM3 LMBowling on January 15, 2010, 02:38:57 AM: Ok Everyone. I've seen some favorites and now I am curious. If there was one ball you wanted released again in a limited number what would it be?

Please only list one ball and make sure all your friends get in on this. I am not promising any re-releases but I am thinking about it.

Most important would you buy it again?

Bring it on!!! Let's see what ball makes you shine!!!

If you bring back the Big Kahuna I would definitely pick one up!!!!
Title: Re: What LM/L Ball would you like released again?
Post by: Graaille on January 15, 2010, 05:24:44 PM: This is a difficult choice for me. People have pointed out some extremely good candidates for a limited run re-release (Buzz, Masterpiece, Big Kahuna, Guaranteed, New Standard). I can't fault any of them as they are all excellent pieces.

However, I still have a soft spot for the original World Class - as it was the first ball I bought from LM NIB, and would really like to find two of them to add back into the collection. (Ironically enough, it's just about the only 2 piece ball LM made that I no longer have at least one of - that and the Guaranteed and Kong)

Post by: John D Davis on January 25, 2010, 03:05:07 AM: I think one of the most amazing match-ups for me was the Terminator Core (bell-shaped weight block). I have owned about all of the Lane Master balls and the Original Terminator was by far my favorite. The Rebellions Coverstock was hit or miss for alot of people so I dont think they should use that reacitve solid mixture unless of course in a lower RG bowling ball.

I think you guys should look into developing a new Terminator with a Heavy load coverstock such as the Black Pearl coverstock, and maybe go weaker with something thats on the BigR Bang ball. That would make a hellova combination.

Also you guys need to start making balls thats more appealing to the consumers, eye... You need to work on getting some different colors, something that a customer will be like wow. Some of your releases such as the Dynamic Power Particle, XS Power, to even the newest Extreme Damage just isn't at all appealing. Granted they may be AWSOME balls, the consumers will over look them based on appearance only. I know thats sad to say but its probably the truth. Some of your more appealing balls like the Masterpiece and the BigR Bang should be a starting point. I would say that most people love their Masterpiece because the durn things are so pretty. Heck the Terminator Series even looked fantastic, then again the Black Pearls were probably better, but yet the consumer maybe mislooked it because its just a black ball.......

Sorry this has been so long, I just wanted to help. I hope Lane Master keeps making great products, and continues to grow. John

Post by: ToddM on January 25, 2010, 11:19:37 AM: john,

i would agree with you and not.

i agree that most bowlers around me like the wild colors and stuff. not my thing.

i don't agree because i prefer the solid colors. i like the solid black, solid blue, solid red or whatever. however, my reasons isn't because the solid colors look pretty to me. my reason is because it's easier for me to read a ball's reaction down the lane as a solid color than a mixed color ball. my eyes are trying to focus on a kaliedoskope(spelling?) of colors going down the lane *laughs*... that's ok though.

i do have some equipment that is mixed colors but it's because i got them for specific reactions.
Title: Re: What LM/L Ball would you like released again?
Post by: LaneHammer20 on January 25, 2010, 11:40:08 AM: ya to me color is not important at all, just performance. I do prefer solid colors for many reasons ToddM just mentioned. I love the look of a black or any dark colored ball without mauch lettering showing float down the lane and take a mean turn on the back. It is so stealthy looking. My XS solid is a good example of this only it is purple.

But shelf appeal these days is probably the number one seller, people like to see a ball that stands out amongst others. Birtual gravity with its bright orange was a good example. Along with the Hammer Pyscho.

What is sandbagging???
Title: Re: What LM/L Ball would you like released again?
Post by: John D Davis on January 25, 2010, 11:54:59 AM: Yeah, I dont like all those colors myself... I would also prefer a dark colored ball with dark inserts. I was just saying that because I was looking at the consumers stand point. Heck one of my favorite balls of all time was indeed the Black Pearl! I was only trying to help make a good suggestion for Lane Master to work on. John
