I will be showing my age here but the LT-48, Hammer Pearl. I also had one of the black Angle, loved that ball until the finger holes got to worn out to repair anymore.  I even had a Earl Anthony Magnum 10 worked great when the WOOD lanes started breaking down.

That was my first reactive ball I owned.  14lb, sitting in the basement.

For me, I loved my El Nino and Sapphire Zone.

Always have an oldie or 2 sitting around

A 1st drill Nitro/R i found in a 2nd hand shop for 15 bucks is sitting in my spare room waiting for a redrill. Just got hold of an Erase-It a couple of days back, it's fun to throw shined and i might give it a bash in box condition soon.

Back at my old home centre and parents palce in my old hometown its a virtual retirement home of 90's stuff. Triton Heat, Heat 2 pearl, Omega Lion, Coral Triton and lots more plus a pile of urethanes
