Ahhhhhh....whatever!  There will always be bad names for bowling balls, I mean really.....you're naming a "Bowling Ball" for Pete's sakes.......

Just take the Hammmer ball "The Sauce" and rename it to "Man Sauce"....
Color it Silver Pearl and have a picture of John Holmes engraved on one side of it, and XXX engraved on the other!

Now that's a ball......

The follow up could be the "Man Mustard" which would be Yellow Gold Pearl.....

Let's add some excitement to bowling people.......

The Swarm sounded kinda stupid to me.

I don't care much for Pin Slasher either.

i would go with agent orange for the above reasons and add to that how storm caught flack for the orange scent on their agents.  that was at least a bit subtle compared to naming a ball agent orange.  i remember the tsunami coming out thinking thats not right to use a major natural catastrophe for marketing purposes.  both names are indefensible.
as far as real ball names striking motion is bland.

How about:

Denim Quantum-they make them out of jeans now?

Columbia Game-kinda sounds like a bad board game...

Columbia WOW-dear god... really?

Columbia Action Attack-that just sounds like a bad game show.

Hammer Razyr-try the spell check next time chief.

Hammer Big Blue-whale?

Hammer Tuff-can anyone spell? I don't think they passed 3rd grade...

Roto Grip SD73-great ball, sounds like a parking space number.

Storm X-Factor Reloaded-bad action movie sequel?

Storm Erase-it-nuff said...

I think Peter North would be more appropriate than John Holmes.

-Ebonite Magic. Are you kidding me? Next they need to make the Peter Pan and Tinkerbell.

-Ebonite Pin Slasher. Spherical objects won't be doing any slashing! But really, it's just lame.

-Hammer Rayzr. The name "Razor" wouldn't be bad at all, but the intentional misspell is stupid on this ball. On some pills it's cool, like the Khameleon, or the Nkryption Code. But this one just doesn't work for me.

-Brunswick Wild Ride. Save that name for a roller coaster. Or the girl you met at the bar.

-Columbia Loud Noize. Once again, the misspell. And CERTAINLY not winning points in the creativity department. Blegh.

-Hammer Hawg Wild. It looked awesome, but it sounds like a redneck motorcycle gang.

-Motiv anything. They're not bad, just plainer than a Boeing. Every time i see "TX1," i think Texas. I live in Texas. Ehhhhh?

-BANGER ANYTHING. How much more silly can you get?

-Columbia Backyard Bully. What the heck? I don't want any bullies in my backyard.

-Any Morich LevRg after the original. The original was unique, and it looked sweet. But all of its children are boring/make no sense.

-Lane 1 Golden Nugget. I always think chicken nugget. If i opened up my Micky D's, and my nuggets were shiny friggin' gold...oh wait, that would be awesome.

Poor comparison you.

Agent Orange killed people
Tsunami killed people
NRA never killed people

Richie may be insensitive, but I bet you are one of those intolerant left wingers!


quote:
I tend to think Richie at Lane 1 is a bit insensitive, if not crude. There is a guy in our league fighting off cancer because of Agent Orange used in Vietnam. Instead of killing trees, it is killing humans.

Richie also came out with the Tsunami after 200,000 were killed after the tsunami that hit India.

His timing was as bad as Charleton Heston having an NRA rally in Denver a week after Columbine.
