My favorites are the Vibe symmetric core and the Nucleus core from the Cell series

Honestly I would take an arsenal that just had balls with just those 2 cores

Well, the Break weight block is still being made, so lets leave that one out.

1. Track Robocore. Machine was a mean ball.
2. Ebonite Tidal Wave Wipeout core. A smooth rolling core made assymetrical. Loved it.
3. Track Threat. If you don't know why, you never threw one.
4. Columbia Aftershock. Flare for daaaaaays!
5. AMF Velocity core. Velocity and Max Velocity were awesome rolling pieces!

It is hard to have a favorite core, because there have been some great core/cover match ups that have turned out to be great balls, while the same core wasn't so brilliant in other balls.

 Here are a few balls with core/cover combinations that worked really good for me.

 1. Ebonite NITRO
2. Brunswick INFERNO
2A. Visionary B/G CENTAUR
3. Storm El-NINOX-IT
4. Ebonite V-2
5. Hammer VICIOUS PARTICLE

there are 4 cores I would love to come back.

Paradigm Domination (RAD+)
Virtual Gravity (shapelock HD)
Special Agent
Black Thunder (FE or FE2)


as for covers, I miss some of the particle cover stocks.  the cover from the Big Time pearl for example.  I would love me another Big Time Pearl, never could quite get another ball to react the same way as that did.
