Title: what ball do you miss the most
Post by: Game In a BoxLC on January 01, 2004, 07:36:56 AM
Everyones done it, had a ball they loved and given it away or sold it for one reason or another, so whats yours?

Mine is my Track Freak, i got it about this time last year and it just rolled like a dream for me, had it drilled length and man it just hit like a truck and a half. But it started cracking out BADLY so i sent it back to bowling.com and because of the houses i was bowling at, i didn't think i needed a particle ball anymore so i got a Storm X-Factor instead (my most hated ball now, god it sucks). I still miss this ball and wish i had it, i don't think i've ever had a ball in recent memory roll as true for me as it did, altho my Rush might be but i just got it. Only my Triton Heat and Track Contender even compared. I would buy another one but i've already got an arsenal and two particle balls a phenom and super freak, but man i wish i would've kept that ball.

I'm left handed and i've got a ball and a wall.

Trash heap--I have a 14lb Stingray, I will sell cheap!  Message me if interested.

To answer the question of the post, Speed Demon.  I threw only a few games with it and it cracked.  I traded it in for a Sledgehammer which never, ever liked on any condition.  I wish I still had that one.

Code Red I bought used when I was 16.  I used it till I was 20 when it cracked shooting a 10 pin.

Stupid as it sounds, I wish I had my old Teal Claw Hammer back too.  I gave that thing away.  Wish I never had.

Tou will undoubtedly tell a bowler's age (era) by their answers here, as this has been brought up in te past as well.

For me, it would be as follows:
Columbia Wine U-Dot
Faball Black Hammer
Columbia Red Pulse - origional
Storm Blue Pearl Thunder

Before it cracked around the fingers my Pearl Aftershock was MONSTEROUS!!!!! After i got it repaired it never rolled the same. Switched it from label drill to a 10.30 drill and had a few good outings with it but wasn't the answer often enough. Sold a Forest green and Aquamarine Quantum  that i should have plugged/redrilled instead. Bought the Aquamarine cheap instead of a Firestorm that one of our our aussie warehouses was offloading cheap too so that counts as the best ball i ever missed out on.

I have a few that got away.  The Track Sensor II, Stingray/C, and Black Hammer.  Wish I could throw that Sensor II again!  My best series ever was with that ball.

Orange Piranha Original.  I was 16 and got it off ebay and it had a total of 10 plugs in it.  I shot my first 299 with it when I was 16.  I was thinking about getting the retro remake off of ebay but I'm throwing all track now and I guess the Track Magic is the ball that would be closest to it, but no ball beats that 1/2 inch flaring orange killer!
