Bolling ball names that you hate to the point of avoiding?
« on: April 07, 2018, 02:14:07 PM »
Is there any ball that you will not consider because of the name? I have a touch of arachnophobia and have killed several black widow spiders around my house.  One would think that a ball called black widow would be a total turn off for me, but I am seriously considering  the black widow gold with no reservations. One name that does totally turn me off is Pitbull Bite. Guess I have seen too many news stories about kids being mauled by pitbulls. It used to be a common occurrence in my area.

The Almighty was an amazing ball. High RG Particle balls have an excellent reaction on many conditions.

I don't really hate these names, but I avoided balls like "Bad Ass" and "Hell Raiser" to not offend anyone in my church league.

So I bet the Lord Field Bloody Cross wouldn't have sat well...

I've never avoided a ball due to anything name based. I'm also not going to comment on the ignorance about the Pitbull comment. Pitbulls aren't bad dogs, not any more than any other dogs. The owners that treat them like weapons are to blame.


No pun intended, but I take serious offense to those names, not cool at all idc about the purpose; It’s bowling no pun intended, but not cool with me at all.

SERIOUS offense!  The audacity and imprudence!

I remember hearing awhile back that the "Badass" and "Thug" series balls were banned from high school tournaments in a few associations. If only the boomers knew what is said and done in high school in today's times. :D This entire thread is my avatar.
