Maybe,,, JUST maybe that's why! Who wants to buy a ball with a lousy NUMBER on it, when you can get an IQ,,, ( this country could use a little more of that lol)! Or,,, The Lucid Dream ball,,,, Tropical Heat!! Who was it that said: "What is there in a name, is a bowling ball not still a bowling ball even it is call by a unimaginative number!

Would you like it if people were given numbers, instead of Names....NO,,,, NO one would like that! Ball's need to be named, just like my mother 3252, said!

Track should stamp a number on its balls in small case,,, but they need a NAME,,,, THEY NEED A NAME!

Now USA STORM have the King of Swing, throwing their American Made Products! Numbers are ok for prisoners, but NOT Storm Balls!! My sweet precious yellow like gold IQ tour pearl!

Lmao, I like your sense of humor Michael

I liked the number system Track was using. That was until they screwed it up. The 503T is more aggressive than any 7 series ball, and the 706a is less aggresive than any 5 series ball. If the numbers don't tell you the story, what's the point? With that said, I'm still considering the 811c/t, which is more aggressive than any 7 series, like it's supposed to be.

Sara, the discussion is about pro bowlers and their sponsorships. Pros sign contracts with major companies, like bowling ball manufacturers, and in return the company pays for things to make their competing less of a financial burden, like bowling equipment. They may even get other items or things paid for. In return they are expected to promote and advertise for that company, like using the equipment on TV, doing commercials. Maybe even meeting with the public in a forum situation for question and answer periods. Anything that gets their name out there so people will buy their product.

I believe the thread may have started, because the Pros will typically stay with a sponsor, and some changes of a sponsorship cause us, as laymen bowlers, to find it interesting and begin to talk about the change.

Bill is right. Look up Fagan. His style is often sought after to copy, as he is very fluid, powerful, and overall a very good bowler. His nickname is the King of Swing. He has 14 career 300 games, and 4 titles. He's been on the tour since about 2002. People get mesmerized by his swing (which I do as well), but watch his lower body (keeping in mind that this is where your power come from) and watch how the fluid arm swing and the lower body work together.

OK Listen all I just found out by going to Mike Fagan's website he is with Track not he is not with Storm anymore that is an older jersey he had and an older sponsor but his current sponsor is Track I should know I got his jersey and you can buy his jersey here http://www.faganbowling.com/fagan_jersey.html at least thats where I got mine I dunno if you want the type of ball he uses also or what but that is he jersey.

Fagan signed with Storm earlier this month. His website just hasn't been updated. The jersey you have is from last year. I'm sure his New Jersey will be available soon.

Both Fagan, and Track's websites have not updated yet. The official announcement is on Storms website. It's going to be strange seeing him in a Storm jersey, throwing Storm equipment.
