I realize there are about 2,316 more important things to gripe about, but I can't get over how many current balls are just plain ugly. To me, balls look the best when they're one color or two colors, max. It seems some companies want to see just how big a mess they can make. You have balls with red, green, black and purple all in the same ball. It looks like someone puked a bag of Skittles up. Also, news flash to the kid in the resin department -- when you mix red and green pigment together, you get brown. Stop thinking you can effectively mix red and green together and not have it coming out looking like cow chips.

It takes a deft touch to use two high-contrast colors effectively. I remember a ball Roto Grip did that was called (I think) the Winning Streak; it was an overseas Silver Streak I think. The ball was ice blue and bright red. It looked like an ICEE cup rolling down the lane, very pretty. Now when I see blue and red together on a ball it inevitably starts to look like a glass of red wine gone vinegar.

I am learning to watch my ball skid, hook, roll much more closely.

A multi-color ball pattern helps see this much better than a solid.

I like a solid color because fewer bowlers can tell when I miss the release.

in my opinion the ugliest ball i have ever seen is the overseas timeless se

looks like a friggin bowl of glazed cotton candy

the only real problem i have with looks on a ball is if its hard to keep clean. like that neon yellow misfit i had

Lmao what??? I want that ball SO bad!
