The Sauce sucks for a name.

Cell isn't bad just different.

Anything Elite names is pretty dumb

Same here. Plus, it's just stupid. Why pick names you know are going to drive away a fairly significant percentage of your audience before they even decide to try the ball out?

It's akin to, say, Brunswick naming a ball the "Brunswick Steaming Bag of Poo." Uh, I'm not throwing that. I don't care how good it was supposed to be. I'm not going to have that in my hand and have someone ask me what it is, and I have to answer, "Why, it's a Brunswick Steaming Bag of Poo, of course. And the pearl version is due out in September!"

Insite's ball names and, in a parallel vein, the ones from Banger, sounded like Mike Judge named them in between drawing panels for Beavis & Butthead.

Meanwhile, the Ebonite Striking Motion sounds like it was named by a Soho interior designer named Maurice.

Worst ever:

Yeah Baby!
No Mercy Beatn'
Striking Motion
Loud Noize ( seriously, that's horrible)
Bully (dumb name but the logo is humorous)

Personally, I love the Sauce. To me it's unique. I think Hot Sauce is even cooler.
I also think Ogre is equally as cool.

Knowing what it means makes it even more ignorant.  If you think the chemical agent orange is awesome you are an A #1 douchebag.

About agent orange,,i think he meant it means the ball is deadly


I doubt that very much.  When you look up "agent orange" deadly is not the definition of it.  Although as we and out VFW's know, it is deadly.
