My very first reactive/high end ball...the Brunswick Fury.  After I had a clue of what I was doing with it, still couldnt get a consistent turn out of it.  Sure, got lucky a few games, but never liked it. Two drillings and many surfaces and still nothing!
 
Not totally fond of the Break S75 I have, just dont think it fits my game right with the drill on it.  But got hairline cracks around fingers...
 
Had success with some that others didnt tho.  Love my Jigsaw and my Radical Inferno(retired it now).

Tie between Raging Inferno and Total Inferno.  Both were absolute duds for me.

For me it would have to be:

 

Storm Invasion - ball just didn't do anything for me no matter what surface changes were made.

Lane 1 Dynamo was a dud for me.

 

Other than that I have found a use for everything that I have owned.

I cant say I've had a total dud of a ball, but some were just too condition/cover specific....

 

Trauma Response -  why didnt people like it??  cuz it's a TRUE HEAVY oil ball,,  if you didnt have so much oil that all your other stuff just skidded, this ball would roll-out @ 30ft.... I did have one that was polished up like glass, and it would work on a normal shot, but was really sensitive to your release...

 

Invasion -  please look @ Trauma Response....  I actually love my Invasion, but i did a few things to it also... Like after it was drilled, i hit it with 500/1000/2000 then 4000abralon, then polished it up...  I also gave it a high pin drilling too, and the ball does work well.... 

 

short of these two, I can say i've had any balls that were just awful, some just had the wrong drillings on them.....

 

but short of th

im seeing a pattern here.....Strong dull balls for the most part.....Sound like burning up and liking big backend action versus the even heavy roll.

No question, has to the Ebonite Tombstone. Using it as the name implies would be about all that ball was good for. The Brunswick Zone Pro Azure was definitely second.

Visionary something .....green/yellow pearl lookin ball.  Flared a ton, hooked less than my Rampage.  We have PLENTY of oil around here, at the time I was using an Epic Battle at 800 grit as my fresh shot ball in league.  The Visionary was a spare ball compared to that.

Radical Inferno. Mexican made pos. Refuse to buy anymore from Brunswick. I also refused to sell it to anymore so just gave it to Goodwill at least because I was going to toss it in the trash.

Worst high-end ball I ever threw was the Track Mutant.....I think that piece of junk rolled out in the middle of my pushaway.
 
Close 2nd would be the Cold Fusion by AMF, followed by the early Hammer stuff made by Ebonite....

Epic Saga and Battle, but because they rolled out and needed gallons of oil on the lane to work well.
 
Radical Inferno but my fault drilled wrong from the start.
 
Track Freak, rolled well then TEC death set in and it hooked less than my spare ball.
 
Out of the four three were my own fault.
