What bowling ball could you not wait to buy  but ,after throwing it knew you made a complete mistake?

I would have to include on my list: Storm Sky Bolt, Storm La Nina, They just never fit my game.

Grand Illusion.

Threw a 300 with it, but still don't like the way it rolls for me.

Immortal Solid & LevRG  defective balls??????????? I don't know?


LevRG absolutely sucked on anything short of heavy oil, especially in the heads.

If you had anythng less, the ball rolled out at your feet. Even sanded up to 800 grit with Beans sauce, it still needed mediums to work

I had to respond to this one.  Here is my five "worst balls" list.  My list goes way back...

5. Storm X-Factor Deuce    - Never bowled anything higher than a 221 with that P.O.S. ball.  I had two other AccuTread balls that were great, but this one was just a wimpy dog for me.  Whenever it did get to the pocket it would hit like a wimpy "female" dog.  It was so bad that one day, I just gave the damn ball away.  LOL!

4. Columbia Power Surge - The lights went out on that ball about a month after I bought it.  It was basically D.O.A. from day one.  

3. Ebonite Turbo-X - In my opinion, it is THE worst ball Ebonite has ever made.    LOL!

2. Columbia Super Beast - No words can describe how awful this one was.

1. AMF Sumo (Urethane) - OMG, I was so excited to get this one.  When I got it, I found out the hard way that it just would not hook.  No amount of sanding or scuffing helped it.  It just flat out would not hook at all.  Needless to say, but I will NEVER buy another AMF ball again.  NEVER!  Forever NEVER!!    LOL!  

Peace!

I'd have to agree with the Havoc.  Since the Nighthawk M2 is my favorite ball, I was very excited to pick up the closest thing to a solid remake of it (this was before they re introduced the Nighthawks).  Probably wasn't a bad ball, just not what I wanted or expected.

Columbia Resurgence. Part of it was because of the layout but mainly it was the lack of hook and versatility it had on the heavier oil.
