Pyramid?

[Stormed1]

I think they wanted to be like Bowlers Paradise who has their own Elite brand

I ordered the pyramid chosen path pearl for Christmas, I was wondering why my bowling alley didn't sell them and I did more research and found out they are only a few years old xD

There goal is to make high performance balls at lower prices. It seems they are headed in the right direction.

Elite doesn't put much thought behind their releases. Pyramid performance balls are designed from the ground up. Everything has a purpose, from the core to the coverstock. Their performance stands up against any brand and when you factor in price, it's pretty unbeatable. I used to be a Storm/Roto guy, now I'm a Storm/Roto/Pyramid guy. Awesome stuff, especially the new Blueprint and Divergent Path. Blood Moon is awesome too (just got mine, still haven't been able to test too much but I like what I see).

Well, I don't know if it's "designed from the ground up" if it's using 900Global's R&D and manufacturing. That seems more like "designing from the logo out".

I actually was thinking of getting one of the plastic ones though. I don't have a 15lb plastic ball and I just can't justify paying $85 for a Motiv Arctic Sniper much less an extra $15 for a Columbia WD when at the end of the day…it's a friggin spare ball. I just need it to be round.

But I gotta check with my ball drillers. If I pay a ball driller $85 and he drills it for free…then I'm $85 out of the door and supporting my local guy. If I pay $39 for a Pyramid and then my ball driller charges me $59 to drill it…now I'm out $98 but support bowlingball.com and the online community. Hmmm….fortunately I have about a year to make this decision.

I can tell you for certain that everything Pyramid does has a purpose. Looks can be deceiving. They may not have the resources of a Storm/Ebonite, but I assure you that if you were to drill up one of their balls you would be impressed. Take the labels off of the balls and their stuff rolls as good as anything out there. Every company makes good stuff you just have to find what matches your game. You can spend $220 at your pro shop for a Ruckus Schizo (just an example) and I'll pay $79.99 for a Blood Moon and spend $50 at my shop to have it drilled. I'll save $90 bucks and have a ball that performs just as well.

Have you taken a look at the Blood Moon? I ordered one based on the low, low, low price yesterday, but I can't tell what color the ball is. They say it's "blood crimson." It looks almost purple in the picture on the web page, and the description above the hook/lane diagram says "black/red." And the ball looks black as it appears in the layout picture in the reaction video. What color is this ball???

[The Mayor]

The ball is a dark purple to my eye. With like light fluorescent red logos. Ball goes super long and has a strong but easy to read backend reaction. This is one of those balls that I feel like I can make do anything I want on any medium condition. Let us know what you think once you get to throw it!
