Got 4 on my list:

Drive: for its time this was a strong ball for a pearl. Great rolling ball.

Big Shot: If im not mistaken the last ball manufactured in the Texas plant...very verstile ball that could cover alot of conditions.

Momentum Swing: This ball still amazes me, very forgiving but deceivingly strong on the back for a solid cover.

Loud Noize: Length with control on the back, allows me to square up on house shots, not what i normally do with over 400+ rpm's.

My fav of all time is older: Tour Boss Pearl. What a strong ball, handled most anything heavier that i came across...and the carry was super for this ball.

The Pulse was 16 years ago, unless you are counting the remakes. Can't remember when those were out but I still believe they weren't as good as the Power Point Pin versions. I loved my PPP Red Pulse.

But as far as from 2000-2010, I loved my Rock On and had good success with the Ricochet Rebound.

for me it is

Action
Action
Action
Action
Momentum



Action for me is by far the best ball ever made, had a couple of them, and still have 1 with about 30 games and a NIB. The momentum was also one of the best.

based off ones i have used

 

1) Beast

2) Bedlam

3) Dead Flush

4) Cuda 2000

 

Can we do the worst ....  U-Turn Particle and Overdrive (I can score well with this ball but i was only ever able to use it in perfect conditions to fit the ball otherwise garbage for me)
