Name me a ball that hits like garbage
« on: February 19, 2007, 11:09:39 AM »
Just because I'm tired of hearing about how everyone's favorite ball hits so hard.    I know it's all about matchup, and there is no magic juice in some balls and not in others.

Mr. Lebowski, this is Bill Salnicker with the Southern Cal Bowling League, and I just got a, an informal report, that a member of your team, uh, Walter Sobchak, drew a firearm during league play. If this is true of course, it contravenes a number of the league's by-laws, and article 27 of the league...

I know EVERYONE is gonna disagree with me, but this is only from personal usage. Here i go.. the NO MERCY hit like a dud for me. The lanes weren't even bad. It was the actual ball hitting like a dud. I don't know why, but that's only from what i saw when i used it.

Track Triton TKO K.O. Punch, I had this ball for three games, left 18 seven pins from three different angles, and promptly gave it away. Also, the original Resin Hammer (Dark blue color, I think) was atrociuos!!

ZONE CLASSIC!  I know other people love that ball, but it was trash when I threw it.

Hammer Hawg was the worst hitting ball I have ever thrown. I could carry strikes better with a spare ball (seriously). I however think the other Hawg series balls are real decent and the other end of the spectrum.

Track xception hit like a plastic ball for me also.

May offend, but anything Ebonite makes. Does not match up well with my game. But have seen other people throw one and still nothing. So maybe it is not just me...

BOWLING IS FUN NO MATTER WHAT YOU SCORE. BUT A 300 IS ALWAYS NICE.

STRIKE ZONE, ONSLAUGHT, REVS, FLIP & PYRO. STAND 22 AND THROW 10 OUT TO 5 AND CRUSH THE POCKET. AT LEAST THAT IS THE PLAN OF THE NIGHT...

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD BOWLING!!!

Only had one ball that I've thrown that when hitting the pocket just would not carry.  The Hammer Truck.  I've thrown a lot of pieces that did not work for me, but when I found a way to get there, they would do their thing..not this one.  I left so many pocket splits with that ball.

Oh well....the ONLY pre Ebonite Hammer ball I didn't like.

Bone XS - Tried 4 different drillings, with various surfaces, couldn't get consistent hook, hit, or carry, until the 4th drill, then the coverstock cracked.

Masterpiece - Tried 2 different drills, and lots of different surfaces, but I just can't get a good read on this one.(I'm still playing with the surface, and toying with another drilling, so this one still has possibilities.)
