Track Assassin - hit like a wet marshmellow for me but put it in a teammates hand and it was a monster for him. It was just a bad matchup for me

I don''t really consider any ball a POS, cause all balls match up for someone. The thing people don''t realize is that no matter how much of a POS they consider a ball that there will always be that one condition that the said ball is great on. Once I started to realize that I found that I match up with every ball, just not on every condition.

That being said some balls do work a lot more often than others and I get that as well.

Track Rule Delta 1 is the really the only ball I've hated.  Multiple conditions, multiple surfaces, incredibly inconsistent reaction.  Ironically, it's the ball I've shot my highest series with.

My Brunswick Total Inferno was pretty inconsistent for me too, I never really saw eye to eye with it.

I gave both to my Dad as he can throw my stuff without plugging and they both roll good for him, so it wasn't a total loss.

There have been many over the years but the two that immediately come to mind are:

Ebonite Primal Instinct

for me without a doubt were any of the cells. original pearl rogue. dam near a thousand bucks wasted with all the redrills and surface changes mades to these balls. i would bet that the box these balls came in hit harder than the balls themselves lol.

Okay .... I am old.

I was thrilled to get a Columbia PowerTorq drilled up back in the day. Just didn't match up- piece of crap.


Fast forward... of the recent balls I have had, the only one I have been unhappy with was an Action Attack - again from Columbia.

Maybe I should stay away from Columbia

Absolute Inferno and Storm Paradigm for me, no matter what condition/layout I tried with these it was just a let down.
