What's the most eye catching ball you've ever seen?
« on: June 09, 2004, 07:01:56 AM »
Last Thurs. at league I was bowling against a team that had a older gentleman on it.(terrific bowler BTW) He was throwing a C300 Alter Ego and for the life of me, I couldn't take my eyes off of it! The bright colors and swirling pattern almost put me in a trace! Most balls look pretty close to each other when they are all grouped together on the ball return, but not the Alter Ego. Just wondering what's the most eye catching ball for you?(I'm sure once I see a V2 Sweet in person, my memory of the Alter Ego experience will quickly fade!lol)

I'd say it was a toss-up between the striped plastic balls from Ebonite of about 3-4 years ago
OR
the new Killer Instinct Sanded (Or as I like to call it, the Clown ball; it looks like a bad clown's make-up)

I really liked the looks of the original Trauma.

Most people are going to think I'm nuts with this one, but I also really like the looks of the Granite Gargoyle.  How many times do you get to see what looks like a chunk of cement rolling down the lanes?  Fred and Barney, watch out.

LOL!  A guy on my sport league has one and the first time I saw it going down the lane I thought to myself What the he11 was THAT?!  Naturally I had to go investigate, and sure enough.... Granite Gargoyle

I loved watching my black/gold lefty Quantum Helix rolling down the lane, especially when I threw it correctly and that wide gold stripe did its flip as it turned into the pocket. Several people asked what ball it was and where I got it, so apparently they thought it looked cool rolling down the lane, too. Best part was I got it NIB off eBay for about 40 bucks. Too bad I didn't have the foresight to buy the 14# one too.

I would have to say My Warlock DC Tour.
I get some of the weirdest looks when I
am throwing it  I don't maybe because
when you see a 6'2" 325 Bear dressed in
a black shirt with black pants, and black
bowling shoes, the LAST thing you expect to see
him throwing is a PINK ball lol

Ebonite Eyeball

My favorite band, The Residents, used to wear large eyeball masks to hide their faces.  One of the masks was stolen 15+ years ago and it looked just like the Ebonite Eyeball.  Coincidence?  I think not....

The Wicked.  Something about the blue swirls makes this ball look really cool  when going down the lane with a fair amount of revs.
