I just saw this on facebook. Looks intriguing, to say the least.

The colors are horrible, drab and ugly.
Who would it appeal to, besides ex-Army snipers?

Man, If you've ever been south of the Mason-Dixon, camo is everywhere! This will sell like crazy to the rednecks down here. All the pro shops have to do is put one in the window and they'll sell TONS.

+1.

Olive drab isn't the number one color people would pick for a bowling ball.  However, if you were going with the military theme and had a ball named "Tank", what other color/color combination would you choose? 

Well, you could go with the colors from the original urethane Tank, which was manufactured by EUI in the 1980s.  RaiderH20Boy has a NIB one in his shop.

Now that's old school urethane!

1 standard issue military urethane piece!   

I wonder what a ball would look like with a camo pattern with matte black and pearl black.....any of you all with some pull hearing this?  Lolz

Charlest,I get the feeling you aren't exactly excited about this release.

Super low RG + rough surface + solid urethane + ugly color = virtually useless for me personally.
If you have firmer ball speed and a good amount of tilt or higher rotation, it could be useful for you.

No,I won't be purchasing a Tank.I just like the look of the ball.I just got a great deal on a Classic U-2.I don't see myself needing another urethane piece.Besides,I think I need to re-evaluate my arsenal,and eliminate the overlap,and dead weight.

Hello Group,
 I have a question about "The Tank".

 I currently am using the "Grenade' from Roto Grip (another urethane ball) which I absolutely love so my question is, is this urethane ball stronger than the "Grenade" from Roto Grip ?

 I am looking for another urethane ball that is stronger than my "Grenade" but if its not I dont want to buy a ball that might be basically the same as my "Grenade".

 But from what I can tell the "The Tank" seems like it just might be what I am looking for!

Thanks, Jake

It's a strong urethane piece. If you can find a Seismic Desperado, buy it. Those are very strong.
