Ball of the Year so far???
« on: January 21, 2006, 08:56:08 AM »
I wondered what everyone's vote would be in various categories for ball of the year (so far)?

I am hearing a lot about Ebonite's The One...At my shop the Vertigo and Absolute continue to be at or near the top in the high preformance.  

We have sold a ton of Black Ice balls as well as Track Solutions (both the pearl and solid)

The Classic Zone is also still selling well for us and the Paradigm is getting hot too...anyway there are some thoughts, what are your votes???

in my shop the two best sellers are The One and the Hot Rod Super Sport Pearl. Right behind that would be the Doom Raw Hammer, and Tropical Storm's/

Tsunami is my personal choice but not vrey many bowlers use Lane 1 in this area.

But a ball that is selling a lot in this area is the Over Time.

My vote goes to both Paradigms. Have both and they are a great compliment to each other on a wide variety of conditions/

If you blame the lane conditions for your bad scores, then you had better thank them for your good ones!!

By popularity the Absolute if it qulifies the One if it doesn't.

By personal opinion Storm Dark Thunder.An instant classic.

I feel you can't make 1 ball THE BALL OF THE YEAR!  That is unfair because of the different conditions certain balls excel on.  With this being said these are my pickes for 2005 balls of the year.

Arsenal Angular
Arsenal Reactive
Raw Hammer Doom

On your site you guys have the arsenal reactive listed as a reactive pearl.  The AR is not a reactive pearl.  It should not be listed with the Raw hammer Doom.  Two very different covers.  The Doom is a pearl and the AR is a solid.

Brian, just because a ball wasnt released in a certian year dont mean it cant be ball of the year several times in a time span. I remember when I had my Danger Zone everyone loved it, some still think its the best ball around. Dont be so technical man. Also, learn what some people think a year might mean. Bowling season or actual 365 days year. I too think of bowling as a seasonal year.
