Balls you DISLIKE
« on: March 18, 2012, 03:21:25 PM »
Most reviews on this site are positive; however, I would like to know what ball was disappointing to you! It's tough to pick through all this glamorizing reviews.

 Black Widow Sting was a turd at all surfaces for me.

 For me the 503c was a huge let down I was in love with the 505c and when the 503 came out i was so excited but it ended up being so much stronger than it was suppose to be and after trying lots of surface changes and trying it at 3 dif houses I sold it to a friend.

I would have to say the Black Widow Bite was a true disappointment for me within the last several years. I used it on the right conditions, just that the ball didn't have good lane reaction and carry. The Track 715C was also a letdown for me two years ago but not as bad as the Bite. Made the switch to a Track/Motiv arsenal the last two seasons and been very happy since.

I didn't have much luck with the Critical Theory either, in fact I've come to the conclusion, that for me, I dislike asymmetrical balls period.

Wow, I was considering the Motiv Primal Impulse. Too bad all the reviews are essentially copy/pastes from Motiv Staffers. I don't know who to listen to on that one.
For me, the 900 Global Bounty Hunter let me down. It was too unpredictable, and changing the surface did nothing for me.

Pretty much every ball since the black hammer/black turbo era.

Loved how it rolled, but just could not carry the corner pin.

 Chrischop the idea of this thread is balls YOU DON'T LIKE. Its just like some one posted they did not like the 715c I have 6 honor scores with that ball I loved it but I'm sure some one liked the 503 that I said I did not that's just how it is we r all different so you may have loved the cell but he did not.
