Rival. I love it. its a good start for the new era of Columbia 300. Cant wait to pick up the Momentum.
-
My vote goes for the No Mercy Beat'n. I have shot 800 with this ball this fall, won a scratch tournament with it, and made over $600 in bracket money (in one league) all in the first half of this season, what a great release by Hammer!

The Black Widow solid will be the ball of the year, almost every year IMO.
Other than that, it's the Hammer Anger.

Hammer-Lane #1

Resergence or the Raid, it's my 1-2 punch for this year and next.
-
Based only on local popularity...NVS.

I would have to vote for the Rival also... It brought me from 188 to 195 so far this year. If the shot is close it's going to be good. Ball sends things all over the place and hits like a truck.

What will actually win the award or what it is for me?
What will actually win will be something very popular and versatile like the black widow. I would be surprised if a Visionary or a Mo-Rich ball won for exactly those reasons Many other balls are as good as this, but because they have a limited following, won't win the award.
For me, after several attempts ( Fury, Spit Fire, NVS, ETC...), I have to say the GAMEBREAKER. I know it is old/low tech ( from the old vortex series, and for you officionados, the old A.M.F. WHIP series when ebonite was pouring A.M.F. balls, check it out, the vortex core is in those old whips!), but it is reliable, predictable, powerful, and driller friendly.
I know it won't knock your socks off, but it will score, is durable and not SOOO expensive. A good ball for the masses.

I'm really tired of the whining, so, JUST SHUT UP AND BOWL!

Nobody likes the Black Pearl Particle? Is it because it was released last year? How does it compare to the Black Widow solid or Anger?
-
Track KINETIC definetly.

LEVRG!!!!!!!!!!!!

-
I wonder why no votes for LANEMASTERS? They are not much more expensive than the rest but supposed to last "much" longer.......
Something bad with the reaction or power/carry?

SUPERNOVA XP AND SUPERNOVA! best 1-2 punch around!

I understand your point of view, gso_bejar. I'm questioning no300yet's statement. It seems to imply because no one has yet placed a Lanemasters ball here that they need defending.

One of the most underrated balls - AMF Orbit Extreme Sky Blue.
That ball can be used on almost any condition, but the extremes!
Great ball!!
