Your best ball
« on: February 06, 2004, 07:57:37 AM »
Ok, there has been lots of talk about what the best ball(s) of all time are and what ball is best for this condition and that condition. But, lets go a little more in depth. What is the your best ball in your bag?? Your best ball isnt always going to be your "go-to" ball, but simply the ball that gives you the best look when the lanes are suited for it. Mine is a tough decision between my V2 particle or my Voodoo, but all in all, I would have to say that when the condition is right, I can score well with the Voodoo all the time. So, in my bag, the Voodoo would be my best ball to use when the lanes are just right for me to use it. Whats yours??

Well...if you asked me about a month or so ago I would have said my Track Freak...however, I haven't been able to put away my Silver Streak Pearl lately.  Oil, mediums, dry, it can handle most everything with the proper line adjustments.  297 a month ago in a collegiate tournament, 775 last night on a China league shot, this thing is money.  Thanks to Roger and the others at Roto.

The best ball I have ever used is the Track TKO. I still go to that ball if I start to struggle. There is something about that ball that I can get going again. In a close second right now would be the Carbide C Pearl love the way that ball flips and shreds the rack.

My benchmark ball is the Pearl Carbide Bomb.  I can score with it on lite mediums to medium heavy with just a little adjustment.

For lite to medium, my Eraser.

Never see much heavy long oil.

Still my pantera... 930 series (4 games) last time the lanes and it were matched up.  Prior to that 978 (not sure)

Close 2nd would be My tiger..

Both have over 1500 games already on them but still going strong...

I second the Pearl Carbide Bomb - power and control - a great benchmark ball for most conditions.

I have liked a LOT of balls, and until recently would have had trouble picking one out as "The Best". For me the decision would have to hinge on which ball I hope and pray I will be able to use when I walk into a tournament - and for the last 3 or 4 months the choice has become obvious - INFERNO - Hands Down. Anything else I pull out of the bag is only because the Inferno isn't matching up. I like all the balls in my arsenal - but the INFERNO is the top dog. Anyone who doesn't feel that way either bowls on a FLOOD, hasn't thrown one, threw it on the wrong condition, or had a mismatched layout.

My 3D MAXXX. It's the ball I use the most. It's not suitable for a desert or
flood but anything in between It's my go to ball.

My Vortex II Particle is my best ball when the lanes match up. I've had decent luck with my El Nino Wrath as well.

My best ball when conditions allow it is the Particle Vendetta, drilled axis leverage. More honor scores with this ball than any other I have.

Best all-around ball is the Thing, works extremely well on most oil patterns unless the lanes are flooded, in which case I use the Vendetta.

Runner-Up, The Inferno. I wouldn't touch a Brunswick ball for years until this came out. Terrific ball, powerful back end, hooks back from anywhere. It restored my faith in Brunswicks ability to make a good product.
