Best Ball of 2003
« on: December 23, 2003, 08:36:15 AM »
I was just wondering what everyone thinks is the best ball for 2003.  Strong contenders are the:

 Inferno
 Black Cherry Bomb
 Cherry Bomb
 Triple Threat
 Hammer Particle Vicious
 
What else should be on this list??

    Well the only "new" ball I bought this yr is the THING and I like it alot. It seems to be getting better too.

    I don't know if the SSPearl qualifies, but it's a great ball too.

    I hope no one starts THE WORSE BALL OF 2003 .. I'll have to give my opinion!

    My 2 Choices...of the equipment I have owned/thrown.....

    Ball of the Year:

    Track Crunch...........under a hundred bucks.....extremely predictable and even rolling ball on just about any condition.......a coverstock that is easily tweaked........and hitting power that is unreal......How this one got under the radar is beyond me, but will have one of these in my arsenal for many years to come....

    Runner Up.....

    Track Mutant....Nothing better on oil......Hitting power that is unmatached.....a coverstock that again is easily tweaked......and that predictable arc and crashing sound that makes you smile every time you clear the deck.....

    Honorable Mention:

    Columbia WOW Pearl......Another one that flew in under the radar.  Excellent hitting power....extremely versitile......just sort of ugly color scheme...


    Nominees for Ball of the Year that I haven't thrown but have seen and have been impressed with....

    Brunswick Inferno............First ball in ages by Brunswick that actually made me want to go out and try it.  

    Storm X-Factor

    Columbia Flipside Wicked BRT

    Track Thrash


    Happy Holidays!!!

    For me and my game - no two ways about it -
    the X-Factor Deuce.

    The ball that is probably going to take over as my all time favorite:
    Inferno.
    (I haven't been able to play the kind of lines/release I want to use to score huge with this ball, due to injury. When I have thrown it the way I want, WOW!)

    And another all time favorite - (but it came out more than a year ago)
    the Smash/R.

    Awesome equipment - all of it.

    If I am not mistaken, wasn't the X Factor released in 2002, like October?

    I got a Cherry Bomb and an Inferno this year. My vote goes to the Inferno. I've had terrible reaction with Cherry Bomb. A buddy of mine loves his however. Maybe it doesn't fit my style or the layout isn't right for me.

    I would have to say the Eraser Pearl Particle a great ball gets down the lane and makes a great turn and hits like a truck. It is cheap and very predicable down the lanes as well. If the x-factor is in 2003 I would say it would be part of it.

    Although we are talking about 2003 and one ball...I would have to say....THE ENTIRE V2 Series: Strong, Particle, Solid, and Dry.......THE BEST BALLS ON THE MARKET....Thank Ebonite

    Honorable Mention:
    Sharp Blade
    Sling Blade
    Tornado Warning

    If it isn't EBONITE it isn't bowling........

    I vote

    1. Inferno
    2. X-factor
    3. Raging Inferno

    Although I only use Brunswick, but many ppl have good result with X-Factor in my house. Raging Inferno maybe not as strong as Brunswick said in box finish, but it works good when Inferno is over/under (which is rare) And Inferno is a very very good ball.

    ::raises hand::

    I'm probably the lone person here that LIKES the X-Factor Reloaded.  Mine arcs nice, strong finish, and no wild over/under
