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...

MoRich Weapon of Mass Bias. Hit great when I got it and reacted nice. I shot my first and only 300 game with it in 05. Last Thursday I left it in a corner in the bowling alley for someone to pick it up. That's right, I hated it so much I left it there at the alley. That was right before I chucked it into some bushes outside the alley then brought it back in.It wasen't worth selling because I didn't want to associate with it anymore. After leaving 3 5 pins and a 5-7 plus numerous soft 10s and a 8-10 that was it. The ball has been acting funny and didn't like it much when I practiced with it. I should of never brought it to league and shoot an emabarrasing 490.

For me it was:

Track Inertia
Track Equation
Track Phenom
Track Blue Heat
Track Crash
Track Crunch


And no I'm Not hating on track.  Up until 2006 I threw probaly every single one of their releases and those happened to be the ones I coulding stand.

The Rule Delta 1 hit like garabge for me.  At times it would drive so hard that it chop thru the pins on off hits and leave all kinds of splits.

Now most bowling balls hit pretty good.  There is a difference in the hit and carry of bowling balls.  The DOOM for example hit's and carry's better than just about any bowling ball I have ever owned.

Rhino Pro Gold. I wouldn't even use it as a boot anchor.

Recently, I thought my newly drilled up One was terrible... until I hit a modified sport shot. The ball really shined then. Like was mentioned already, match ups cause duds.

So far, the Mean Machine, but mostly because the roll is so horrible, not because it just is a turd.  I'll give it some more time though.

Absolute Inferno
Silver Streak Pearl

I loved the reaction I got out of them, but I don't bowl 9 pin no-tap so they were pretty useless.

I haven't had any "duds".  However, the worst "dud" I've seen was the Angular One, no joke.  However, the guy that I saw throw it had a pretty slow speed and low revs...  I don't know if this guy still throws it because I now bowl at a different house.
