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.

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....

I might get a Brawler or two considering that it seems like everybody and their brother is trying to get me to throw one.

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!

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.
