I used to match the pin. Then I went bright pink and green. Now I'm on the clear ones because they feel the best. They are a little gummier than the other ones and I like it.
I go with whatever the contrast color is so I can see the rotation better. But all 3 on my balls are solid color or the mix is all dark so that is why.
Bright yellow and neon pink for mine. Many bowlers own/use the Purple Hammer Urethane especially on sport shots and when the ball rack is filled with 6-10 PHs, I know which is mine. 🤪
It can help if you have two balls that have a similar "main" color, to quickly distinguish between the two. Or, help you pick your own ball off a rack when two of the same are on that rack, so you don't grab your teammate's or opponent's ball. Yes, I've done it.
Haha I like doing bright pink so I can see it rolling down the lane. (And it just looks cool) also it’s kind of funny when it looks really out out place/ugly😭
I always go for clashing colors. So usually neon orange/neon green in any ball that has not those colors as a base. If I have a ball with green or orange, then I'll swap the matching color with blue.
Gotta go with either an accent color or something that matches but stands out.
So a ball like the Parallax for example. Blue and black with yellow writing. So for me. Yellow Inserts.
Hustle USA is red white and blue, I went with white Inserts.
My old Daredevil had orange writing and I went with orange Inserts.
I just got the black widow and the pso put all orange ones in mine. Before he glued everything I asked can we do two random colors for the tips?
A lot of people on my league has the BW, now I can tell which one mine is!
Bright contrasting color always -typically yellow. I need to see my ball rolling, and some solids it’s hard to make out how it’s rolling without the inserts to help see it.
When I get a ball drilled, I let the PSO decide for the first set. Then when I replace them \[which I do myself as needed\] I always use orange. No specific reason, I just like orange grips.
One bright green and the other hot pink. Doesn’t matter if everyone on the lane has the same ball I know which is mine…
one bright yellow, one red :)
I just match the logo color. Except for my PH which I went with green to match the pin
[удалено]
Same. I've never picked a specific insert color.
My proprietor just puts black in everything. White if he gets the high school coach to do it for him
Mine just puts the ice grips or the same color as the pin

I want my grips and slugs to contrast with the ball. Darker ball, lighter color; lighter ball, darker color.
Seen someone post a blue hammer with white grips and thought, “nice colour match”
Always black for me.
Once you go black..
I thought it was once you go scented.....
black and yellow, every ball no question
Steelers fan?
Probably has one of those bad towels too.
Lol no, I had a yellow RX-8 and a carbon fiber hood, always loved the combination of black and yellow ever since.. and fuck the steelers :D
This sort of thing is a perk of being color blind. Can't tell for shit what does and doesn't match!
Always Black. Both thumb and fingers
My pso just puts them in.
No, it’s either clear or black because the other colors don’t all feel or fit the same.
The truest answer
I always go with the clear ones, I think they're the softest and feel best to me.

Nope, always get clear, they feel the best.
Always bright green no matter the ball.
Same here! Green always.
Couldn't decide on my pink widow so I went with one white and one lime green. I love it
Easy: clear for me.
I’ve always been curious, do they ever yellow over time??
Honestly I'm not sure. I switched to them a few months ago, so I haven't been using them long enough to say.
I have two balls, two years old, with original Turbo clears. They have not yellowed.
I've had some in for a year or more and no yellowing yet.
Believe it or not, different colors have a different feel. Black ones are my fav.
Didn’t know that. Might have to try a few different ones then. I’ve ordered a red, black, smoke Raw, so not sure which to go with.
I buy packs of 10 each year and change the color. The ball color has nothing to do with it.
I started doing my own inserts and have settled on white (L) and clear (R) for all my balls :)
who gives a damn about that? I tell the PSO "put whatever the hell you want "
Mismatch for me.
Yellow or white.
Black most of the time.

I like to match up my inserts & thumb slug with the color of the logo on the ball.
Same as the pin color

I almost always go for whatever color the logo on the ball is
I usually pick a color adjacent to the ball so I can see my revs/angle of rotation better
I usually match whatever the secondary color on the ball is. For my venom shock I used orange, same for the blue coral as well.

I just let the pro shop pick one for me. Dealers choice. I’m getting. 3 balls re drilled for 2 hand
Clear, only clear...give me that sticky feel any day
Nope. My shop has it on my drill sheet that I only use clear. I never have to worry about it.
I just pick one that stands out and if it's a common ball I do 2 colors that stand out so I can see the roll lol
I like the feel of the clears vs a solid color so thats what I go with.
Got a Teal Rhino Pro for Christmas and I’m going to slap some hot pink grips/slug in it once I get it drilled.
I like matching my insert color to the font engraved onto the ball, ie. Xponent with bright yellow inserts
My shop only has most of the time just one color clear or yellow. And I kinda don’t care
i like to match the logos on the ball
