My current want list for new bowling balls:
Hammer First Blood
MOTIV Thrash Frenzy
Roto Grip Edge
Storm Super Natural
Brunswick Meanstreak Brawler
Roto Grip Critical Theory
Storm Virtual Gravity Nano
Of course i won't get them all, probably get a First Blood, if money allows a second, might get either a Thrash Frenzy or Super Natural.
I'm mostly looking for the late break ball, if anyone has other suggestions I should look at, please feel free to suggest away.
I intend on keeping my Profit, Versa Max, and maybe Defiant in the bag.
-
Roto-Grip Wrecker
Storm Sync
both are fantastic balls
-
I have The Torrid,and the Yeti.The only thing left on the want list is the Reax.
-
Keep in mind all of the new stuff for next season will be released in June and July. May be something in there you want more.
-
Some of the best I have been seeing around town are: Defiant Soul, Wrecker, Reax, Sync, Tropical Heat, First Blood, and my personal favorite the Lucid. Chased 800 with it first time out on Wednesday and thought I threw it shitty.

Oh, i'm not buying yet. I keep looking every couple weeks at what's out there, always starting at diferent company and ball type, with a fresh mind. So far, i continue to land on the First Blood as my first choice. If i can get a second ball, i debate right now between a Super Natural, and a Thrash Frenzy drilled to be a little less aggressive than the First Blood.
We'll see if anything else comes out that will catch my eye...
-
Really hope we see a disturbed pearl coming by late summer. I think it could be a big seller for roto as good as the disturbed is. Also like to see what storm's plans for the thunder line look like.
-
I'm really pleased with the two Radical balls I picked up,and I'm looking foreward to seeing what they come up with next!
-
I have a super natural on order..just got an IQ tour to try out.
I have a VG nano for sale if interested..
-
Disturbed pearl or hybrid, sync pearl or hybrid, iq (non tour) hybrid or pearl...ill take those...
Oh yeah and whatever roto grip has cookin for their high end release in late summer. ..
Ill take any of those..:D

"kid",
They just don't list to your common sense approach, do they?
By the time August comes around and the the start of the new season, there'll be 20 - 30 new balls that they'll all be drooling over, and this Spring's current desirables will all go by the wayside ....
-
Don't want or need any of them. What i have currently will do all that those do. Just more overlap in different colors. I'll just let that marketing train pass me by.
-
right now, the ball I would like is the True blood. I skipped out on the Taboo Spare as I had have a Hammer Cube. Unfortunately, it is chipping BADLY at the grips, so I'll need a replacement for it. Luckily, the True Blood is coming out middle of next month, so I won't have to wait long.
I'm also looking at another First Blood (pin up) to compliment my pin down version. The pin down version I have is a great down and in ball. Though when it comes to wheeling it, it just isn't drilled for that type of motion. Another one will be nice.
Other than that, it's wait and see. If nothing looks good for me, I'll grab a Champion and I'll be good for a while.
BL.

Want lists are fun.
Hammer First Blood
Hammer Taboo Jet Black
Hammer Arson Low Flare
Lane 1 Grind
Lane 1 GrindR
DV8 Misfit Pearl
Hammer's really filling out their line up with great stuff, and sport shot bowlers should consider their stuff.
I have never tried any Lane 1 equipment, but I really want the Grind.
-
My want list would be:
Critical Theory or a Lucid
Defiant Soul (would replace the Rogue Cell and Infinite Theory)
Disturbed (I really like what this does even though the Outlaw is good)

To everyone,
If you want one of these balls to play with, get it now. AS I said above, I guarantee that in the next 4 months, an eternity in the bowling ball "new releases" game, there will be at least 10 new balls that you will slobber over, and you know that's the truth.
Maybe you'll bowl in a summer league where you can really use, all the better.
If it's just some ball that's gotten a lot of good publicity, get it out of your system and ignore it. Save you money for a ball you can use well. (If you needed it, as opposed to just want it, you would have bought it already or your pro shop/driller would have almost forced you to get it.)

I really only have two needs in my arsonal right now, and I CAN live without them. I could really use a ball that doesn't really do much in the front and mid parts and has a massive back end, which is where i'm looking at the First Blood to fill. I also could use a piece that fits between my Versa Max and my Crown Spare ball, which is where i either look at the Arson Low-Flare, or the Super Natural. The rest are all just wants.
I can wait on them, cause my season is essentially over, and no summer leagues within an hour of my house. There's also specific things i'm looking for right now, and not many recent releases have fit, so i'm not too worried about over loading my saliva glands.
-
I try to purchase every new release that catches my eye...most of the time I wait til its on clearance! :p

I would too....except my home would not be happy....

Brunswick Karma Pink/Purple Pearl
Brunswick Strike King
Storm Lights Out
Storm Super Natural
Storm Tropical Breeze
Hammer True Blood
As you can see, all weak stuff. Dumping most of my high performance gear. Throwing two handed, I can really only use it on flooded and/or long patterns. And even then, I can make the weaker equipment work. For THS, I have been using a Misfit Pearl at 4000 with polish as of late. Very rarely do I need anything else.
-
I might get a Brawler or two considering that it seems like everybody and their brother is trying to get me to throw one.
-
Maybe my first Storm ball (Lights Out), or possibly see what Track has coming out this summer.
-
I just got two of my "wants". The Defiant Soul (wanted since the day it was released) and a Storm Tropical Breeze Hybrid. I'm really interested in the IQ Tour Pearl!
-
Oh! and I'll FINALLY have my 503A in my bag. Finally getting a chance to drill it up this weekend. Won the damn thing over a month ago, but I had a hard time finding an extra $60 to get it drilled up.
-
I'm actually pretty set with my arsenal. Once I build one that works, I'll keep each ball for as long as it keeps working, which is usually several years.
Then I just replace them as need be.
I guess in saying that, I want a Raptor Talon to replace my Storm Rapid Fire which is getting near the end of its life....but for now, it's still wrecking pins but it's got many many games on it.
