For me it would have to be the Elite Black Label. I got a deal on it so I had to try it. It was terrible. It died so fast and no matter how I drilled it I could not get it to hold energy.

They call me the thread killer...

Storm Trauma Response.  If they moved the pocket to the 3-6, I would have averaged 250 with this ball.

Its amazing to me to see all the different opinions and it truly tells me how much a drilling and a bowlers style can make or break a ball......
 
I saw a couple balls on this list that have been money for me.....Virtual gravity(with the right surface), Ebonite SR300(one of the best Ive ever thrown)
 
I have a couple balls that I didnt either drill correctly or match up with well and other people have loved them.
Brunswick 3.5, two drills and many surfaces and I can use but dont love...Track 607A, Im not thrilled with, but love the T balls!

For me it was the Hammer No Mercy. No matter what kind of adjustments I tried to make to this ball I just never got it to match up me with me.

@Pop: One man's garbage is another man's treasure: I used to own the blue solid Aftershock and loved that ball at the time. I still throw the proactive Brunswick zones on a regular basis, and find them to be the perfect "blender" for the wet/dry, over/under conditions that I see on regular THS's.

 

I love my VG! Once I figured out that I needed a tame drilling, and special surface prep in order to use it, it became a staple in my arsenal for heavy oil!

 

The one or two balls that I could do absolutely nothing with, were the AZO Fatman, and the Brunswick Radical Inferno pearl. I agree with other posters about the Columbia Rock, and the Complete Chaos as well.


Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side, but it still holds the universe together.

C300 Professional stunk.

 

Not sure if it was high end or not but the Lane1 Black Cherry Bomb made a good paper weight.

Storm Invasion-  Thought it was going to be a suped up VG,  but a dud.  Can't get the thing to do anything except when the last two boards are bone dry. Very shot specific and hardly ever works.


Balls in the bag and order they come out:
#1- Virtual Energy #2- Anarchy #3- Virtual Gravity #4- Gravity Shift #5- Big Hit (spare and really dry)
#6- Teal Rhino Pro (oldie but a goodie)  #7- Invasion (Only if NOTHING else does ANYTHING)

The Track Delta Rule, that was one sucky ball, couldn't do nothing with it, but gave it to my brother and he loves the thing, first ball out of his bag.
