Best ever - So hard to choose there.  Blue Hammer, Storm Firestorm, V2 solid, Quantum Raven, Hy-Road all so good   For me, I''m going to have to go with the Brunswick D2Z.  It had the roll of the original Danger Zone but cleared the heads much better.

Current - Have to go with the Brunswick Damage.  I don''t know why this ball get''s no love.  Cleanest big B ball I''ve thrown in years.

I have several that were amazing! R/G Odyssey, Ebonite Angular One & NVS, L/M's Yeah Baby and a Brunswick red pin Speed Zone! Current I have a Smash Time that I just drilled that I really like, yes I had it set back for a rainy day and it's the phased bomber reactive version! I also have a CS 3.5 I really like and a Track Equation that I've recently drilled that I had set back with the Smash Time! Too many great choices to just pick one!!!!!

Let's resurrect an oldie......

 

My all time favorite was the Storm Bolt. I've had it for 13 years but it had to be retired due to a very large crack.

 

The current favorite is the Hy-Road. I think I'll buy a couple more so I have a NIB stock for years to come.

I was thinking about this just the other day. I think I have to think of balls in terms of the coverstock and era to some extent.

 

Plastic - Yellow Dot

Urethane - Burgandy Hammer

Early Reactives - Original Pirahna or the Teal Rhino, toss up here

Particle - Chaos

Any other reactive - 900 Global Break Out (special mention though to original Eraser, still in use for dry lanes)
Thought of twist, Ball that made me the most money so far - Big Bully


Roll with 900 Global.


Made in Texas!
