Title: Ball Names
Post by: C-G ProShop-Carl on September 06, 2008, 08:58:29 AM
Hey folks, I remember doing this in the past and wanted to see what you guys/gals have to offer up now. I think this is a great topic to help see how creative we can be.

What kind of names can you come up with for a bowling ball? Try to be creative, and definately unique.

Me and  buddy were kicking this around being wise asses one night we came up with these.

The Blue Ball
The Black Ball
The Red Ball

We were thinking back to the days when the AMF Angles were big with teh Blue, Gray,Gold, and Black.

WE thought when someone asked you what ball you were throwing. WIthout really being a wise guy but kinda you could say " I was throwing the Blue Ball!"

Anyway I thought it would be different than anything on the market right now which is what you are looking for right?

This came to me while watching some DVD's with my Son.

How about:
Robotech
Robotech War
Protoculture
Veritech
Veritech Fighter


This could be a continuation or spinoff of the "Robo" line.

Well with the way Track has been making there highend stuff look. I say we call the next one the Desception, because when you look at them they look to be nothing special. However they dont perform like they look.

About 10-15 years ago, I thought a cool name would be Black Widow. D'oh, looks like I missed my opportunity there.

Has anyone ever named a ball the SLAM before? If not, I think that would be a good name.

Then you could expand to the GRAND SLAM, the SLAM DUNK, the SLAM/R, etc.

AMF had a ball called the Slam and followed it up with the MJ Slam (for Michael Jordan). Both were pretty good balls.

I had suggested Mercury Rising and Rising Tide a while back, at Training Camp I think. I am sure just about everything to do with Rising has been tossed around.

Viagra, used before you need the rising

  I'll have to look, but I used to have a list with several hundred names on it ( I was BORED! )

  Two that haven't been used ( to my knowledge ) are the Kamikazee and the Samurai.

  I'll try to assimilate some that would work with the TRACK name.

I think there has already been a:

Conquest - Ebonite
Clue - Don't remember who made it but it had a big question mark on the side.

The Slam was applied for by 900Gloabl in May of this year - see page 1 of the approved USBC ball list.

43. Mjollnir ( The name of Thor's magical hammer )


This would be a great name for a new Hammer ball (would probably have to purchase rights from Marvel).
