    Any brightly colored ball will tend to catch peoples eyes a little more. Which after Billf saying people bought the balls he was using after watching him sorta made me chuckle. Not along the lines of not believing you, as that isn't the case at all. Just I tend to be the only person who throws the balls I currently have in the bag.

    I swear, DV8 should be paying you LOL

    Nobody at our lanes cares at all what kind of ball anyone else throws. Its all about throwing a good line. If you're hitting the pocket who cares what brand you throw.

    The guys that aren't hitting the pocket, that's who. They're all on the quest for the magic ball that will automatically make them smooth and hit the pocket no matter how poorly they throw it.

    Can't say anyone on our league has ever commented on my DV8, which is the only one there that I've seen.

    Ball admiration seems to be something we're not doing, apparently.

    No one around here uses DV8, so when I pull out my new Marauder, I expect to hear a lot of "what ball is that?"
    Trying not to suck, one day at a time.

    So I show uo for league tonight, after practice started as usual (damn work!) and on my way to my lane three people asked what ball I was going to use tonight. One guy has been thinking about getting a Terror and wanted to see how it reacts. He had to wait until after league, too dry for me to use it during league. Used urethane all three games tonight.
    Put down the Montreal pattern after and we took turn throwing my Terror. Then I let him use one of my Revenge's. Another Revenge on order!
