Black Widow Bite

Lane 1 Dynamo

Lane 1 Blue Death Massacre

Storm Invasion

 

Just could not get these to work on my THS, maybe a different condition was needed, but where i am from: these all were wastes of $$$.


A half ten is not a great shot. No, you shouldn't have carried it.

I was really disappointed in my Visionary New Breed Pearl.  I just think it was a matchup issue with me.  My Hammer Black Widow sting was even worse........from day one on a purely thrown shot I had no idea whether it was going to hook too much, crush the hole, or not even make it back.  Very inconsistant, maybe a dud ball....who knows.

I bought a brand new Lanemaster/Legends Satisfaxion....I find it to be way to jumpy off the dry and have never been able to roll it consistently. 
 
Make me a decent offer on this ball with less than 9 games on it and I will send it away....

Biggest disappointment was a (used, though) X-Factor RE-loaded. Ball did not have much grip at all, only when freshly sanded, and then for only 3 games. I might have bought a dead ball, but this one was the worst.

 

Another disappojntmet was a Smash Zone - but this was rather a poor match between me and my playing style and the ball's innate design. Ball turned out to be way different from what I had expected from it, and I could not make it work consistently for me. But, again, that was not the ball itself.

 I still can't do a thing with my AMF Sideways.

I know it sounds like I'm in denial, but I'm not.

mine was the Strom Double Agent had it for 3 days and it died on me fast. But all my other strom balls work just as good. Also my C300 Total Bedlam was a dud for a while now it works fine.

For me it was the Solid Aftershock & Proactive Zone.  Balls just didn't match up with me.

 I really disliked the Twisted Fury Solid as a high performance oil ball. Bought into the hype and all I got was a dud. Was more of a light oil ball for me and it sucked at that..

But the biggest loser for me was Morich's Awesome Revs. The ball did nothing at all for me..I haven't been bowling but for a few years but that ball gets the P.O.C award from me.
