Best looking balls

[NewToBowling]

Ok, time to get superficial. What ball looks the best (especially when rolling down the lanes)

My picks are:

Roto Grip Wrecker
Roto Grip Sinister
Storm Optimus

I think the color combinations make them look nice going down the lane. And if I had to pick on it would be the Sinister. Love that green combo

The ball that looks the best is the one that goes through the pins with the result of knocking them all down!

Come on Rob, have some fun here. This is a superficial thread :)

I look at the balls very subjectively. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like I can tell which balls are hitting with a lot of energy and which aren't. They just "look good" as they move and hit the pins. To that end, my faves are the roto Grip Wrecker, Melee cross, and Hammer Black Widow Red Legend. In no particular order.

I saw a brunswick mastermind scholar in person last month, it was the freakin gorgeous. that and the optimus, the respect by 900 global, and the new tag by motiv (just a green logo but i like it)

My spare ball of course, as it's blazoned with my hometown hockey team the Washington Capitals...been breaking my heart since since 1980 (the year my dad started taking me to games)

You've got that right! I have some fun when I can help someone to knock down more pins. It's what I do. Most of the bowlers here are looking for some meaningful input into their games. In the overall bowling picture, how the ball looks going down the lane falls somewhere between what color of shoe laces you have on your bowling shoes, and how many rolls of toilet paper are in each stall in your bowling center.

Colors and Smells do nothing as we know. I would ask the designers to take in consideration something in the color scheme that helps identify what the ball is doing.
Occasionally this does happen.

Sometimes you need to look beyond the colors.

A guy I was bowling against recently took my White Dot home with him thinking it was his Crux.

I understand where you're coming from completely. BUT... as we all know, any sport is more than just about scoring points; it's also about the pageantry. That's why the fans have big foam fingers, do the wave, and paint their faces. It's why there are cheerleaders and organ music and megatron scoreboards and marching bands. Otherwise, all uniforms would just be black or white. Similarly, part of bowling just is the pageantry of smart-looking bowling balls that move well. Do they help knock down more pins? No. But they help add to the excitement and general enjoyment of the game. I like my misfit better than my old S3D Classic. Not just because it's a "better bowling ball," (although that's part of it), but because it looks better rolling down the lane.

Golf knickers didn't help Payne Stewart win, either. But they added to the pageantry of the game. And that's important!

I get where you are coming from Rob but aesthetics can be part of the "fun" in bowling with the amount of quality equipment on the market right now you should be able to find a ball that you both like the looks of and fits the conditions.

Loosen up a bit. It's. It's not like the boards are burning up. Just trying to inject some colorful conversation here. Let me know if I am out of line :)

Nah. Aslan posts novels that rival War and Peace all the time.

I like my plain dull solid black ball. I have quite a few of the pretty "swirley " colored balls, I just do better with a solid dull ball.



As silly as it sounds, I subconsciously think I try harder (to get revs) when I use a multicolored ball.

Mastermind Scholar looks nice. Respect has almost same color scheme as Wrecker

[Jessiewoodard57]

I like the look of my taboo spare . It's colorful to begin with but get the revs on it or turn the house lights off and the black lights on then it shines

[Amyers]

I like the look of the hyper cell skid and the Optimus don't own either but if I wad buying just on looks those would be in the bag

ahh yeah you are right, I saw a guy throwing a wrecker and i asked him if it was the respect.

I liked the Deranged -- the green and white Roto Grip ball. Too bad it's discontinued now. I also like the Melee cross - the solid green. I also like the Columbia Eruption -- that bright orange.

I vote for my DV8 Thug. But my Brunswick Ringer Platinum Pearl looks cool too. My kids call it the " Death Star ".

Deion has the connection "If you feel good, you play good." wrong.

I've seen countless people "feel good" but then go bowl like crap.

They need to come out with a ball that looks like the Death Star -- and call it that. Storm could come up with a little sound generator in the core that sounds like light sabers as the ball rolls...

I love the Rhino Gold Vintage....the Storm Crux Pearl also looks pretty good.
