Need your opinion.....
« on: November 12, 2014, 08:53:42 AM »
So i would like your input. Tell me the ideal ball motion that is most desirable.  Please do not use other balls as an example. I want you to describe the motion.
I will select 2 responses randomly. The first selected response will receive a Guru. The second will receive a Yeti Uncaged. Only one response per person.  Multiple responses by the same person will disqualify you from the selection process.
Please be as descriptive as possible. It's your chance to help us develope a ball down the road.
Thanks
Phil

As a high rev medium speed bowler snappy balls leave splits for me. The perfect ball  rolls early with smooth backend. Lower differential and rg medium strength coverstock. Something to be used as a benchmark ball

high RG (2.55ish) low diff. (0.035ish) w/ medium cover would be great...

The motion for this ball is go thru the front part of the lanes cleanly with out hooking early. Then as the ball reach middle of the lane with a good mid lane read saving energy for a explosive backend keeping the pins low for great scoring.

I hate ten pins but love the game of bowling with just the right ball to take them out.

Thanks for the interaction Phil C....the freebies were the cherries on top and something that everyone should be grateful for. Not many ball companies come on here and offer up a ball or 2....so thanks for the opportunity!

Funny that the winner is a Pro Shop Manager and a Storm Staffer. LOL

No sure how that is funny, but the selection was a random draw. I hope the Storm staffer try's it out and get a feel for how good Radical really is.

Not funny as in Ha Ha funny. Funny in that a guy who gets his equipment at a reduced price from being a shop manager and/or free from being a staffer of a different company and can't use it anyway. Maybe "ironic" would be a better choice instead of funny.

Ah now I get it, It never dawned on me that a competitors staffer would post. But random selection is random selection.

I'm about the unluckiest person on the planet, so to win something is actually pretty cool.  Won't be selling it for profit, not that kind of guy, I'll find an interesting or fun contest to make it a prize in or something.  And yeah I'm a Storm staffer, but I'm still objective, it would be ignorant to try and say Storm is the best and everything else is junk.  Now I'm very happy with my Storm stuff, but it would be inaccurate if I didn't say that the Radical line and especially the two Gurus are extremely impressive.  If I wasn't honest about what I thought 100% of the time, no one would have any reason to believe anything I say about my Storm equipment either, plus I'm still a pro shop operator, I have a responsibility to my customers to sell them what they need, not just what I want to sell.  Thanks Phil and Radical, the ball won't be just turned around to make a quick buck, I'll "share the love" and someone will end up with a great new ball!

Actually have an idea, a buddy of mine has a step-sister that got some kind of bacterial infection a couple weeks ago and is now in a coma and unresponsive, they were trying to raise money last night to pay for hospital bills that are starting to pile up, I think give the ball to them to raffle off or something.

Thanks
