Fig,
Keep the old backround and layout. The one thing I think alot of guys would like to be able to have the ability to see is a 3D CGI reaction of "said" ball they are looking at. I know storm use to have it way back in the day of the super powers and El Nino. I think that would give a better idea as to what the ball will do rather then a little 2D line image. I can think of some ideas as to make it more aimed to the bowler looking at the ball at the time. Such as a style reaction and a idea of what the ball does OOB and then if the surface is sanded or polished. I think most of us like the layout as is. I feel that what we want are a little more inovative and interactive things on the site that anyone with any Internet Connection can use. Weather it be Dial-up, DSL, OR CABLE.
If the CGI thing is to hard, then I am sure you could get at least a Stroker, Tweener, and a crancker and have them use a "said" ball at OOB, SANDED, and POLISHED. Then place those videos on the info screen of the "said" ball.
