What's you favourite color ball and how old are you?
« on: December 01, 2009, 07:12:46 AM »
I've got a feeling I know how this'll go, but I thought I'd do a straw poll anyway.

You always knew if someone in the house had an Vicious Particle for example .. whether you liked how it looked or not is another story.

Fire at will! ..

I like single colored balls. Black especially. One of my favorites though, was the Violet Gargoyle. Everyone wanted to know what that ball was. Oh, and I'm 22.

I am 21. I like some of the white balls out now, like JigSaw and Chalk. I like the high contrast of the JigSaw, and it looks cool rolling. I also like vibrant colors that stick out on the lanes, orange, green.

I'm amazed so many serious bowlers give a sh1t about ball color...

renaissance,

The colour of a ball for me doesn''t matter much when its sitting in my bag, on the rack, or wherever, however some balls look aweful when rolling down the lane and can actually make you feel like your releasing the ball badly... Though that is often due to the mix rather than the colours them selves.. As a reult I usually prefer darker balls, all 1 colour, or colours that blend together when rolled.  It serves the same purpose as matching my custom slug and insert colours to the ball..

I find on certain balls, that you can get used to how the swirls blend as the ball is flaring, and you can use the swirl progression to judge what part of the lane your ball is reacting badly in if you've lost your reaction. You can also see your axis tilt and angle of rotation too.

I certainly wouldn't buy a ball based on this, but if i had the choice I think I'd choose the colored one. The serious players look for every little advantage, that's why color might be a consideration.
