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.

 Virtual Gravity Nano. For me it rolls or carries nothing like the  Virtual Gravity.  Also any Track 9 series ball.

Those that can do. Those that can't complain. Pimpin ain't easy, but it's mandatory.

Most things we like, we don't need. Most things we need, we don't like. Don't confuse your likes with your needs.

I would like to say that its also possible that if the ball wasnt laid out properly it will be a huge disapointment. but i will add the noize and the rock star  to this list.

For me it was the:

 

Radical Inferno

Teal Rhino

AMF Whiplash

and most lately the Invasion by Storm. Couldn't do a thing with those peices. Of course, it's all about style match-up, though.

A few balls come to mind that I thoroughly disliked:
Black Widow Sting (in general I hate the gas mask core because I tried a few other Black Widows and they all rolled like crap for me)
Track The Machine
Pin Slasher
 
I see the Invasion is mentioned on here, I was in the minority who absolutely love that ball lol.

Man, this Invasion, huh? I threw one, and coached a kid who had one, and neither of us liked it.

Basically I will say any of the early Hammer stuff after Ebonite took over was horrifically bad.
 
Not to switch the subject, but the worst rolling ball that I ever saw was the pearl Rock by Columbia.....a buddy of mine had one and after he released it, I wasn't sure which way the ball was going to go.

Loved mine for about 30 games and like every other Brunswick piece I've thrown, it died.

Brunswick Impulse Zone. HATED IT!! Glad I only gave $5 for it. Gave it to my brother in law just to get it out of my bag. Didn't like anything about it. Especially the color.

Easily the Gamebreaker. I was a huge fan of the V2 Sanded and this was supposed to be the second coming. Instead the ball was an absolute dud and stopped hooking in 2 weeks.

Morich Solid LevRG - Tried every surface I could think of. Never did roll well or even give me a good hit.
 
Ebonite V2 Strong/R - I think I only saw enough oil to use this piece one time. It was a monster if the oil was long or heavy enough to get down lane. I shot 650 with it in Wichita, but that was really the only time it ever was worth anything.
