Best overall carrying balls of all time?
« on: November 10, 2011, 06:01:08 AM »
Its true that every new  performance ball that comes out, regardless of who its made by, carries along with it those 'magic','brainwashing'  promotional marketing words of "biggest backend ever", "most hookingest piece to date", or "Highest Ra values ever for unparalleled hook and carry", you get the drift.  I've been around the sport longer than some, less than others, and this question is for the CUSTOMERS who've bought and used a bunch of equipment over the years. NO STAFFERS OR PROMOTIONAL 'YES' PEOPLE  are required on this one. - Besides pocket angle of entry and all the obvious lane physics, what separates a ball from 'Hitting like a Tank' or 'Hitting like a pillow'? And what are a couple of your favorites when talking about overall hit and carry.
My two that I've thrown are the Cell Pearl and an old Lane 1 Cherry C/2.

My reply to this is that a ball that my opponents comment constantly state, "I can't believe, that shot carried", was a Lane Masters Hornet.
 
My personal opinion is the hornet and the original mission.

Hammer Sledge Hammer,  Tremendous mix, slam, and kick out!  I was told a lot of TORQUE!  On the days it was right....lots of noise plus it owned 3 parts of the pocket!  This doesn't even count my incredible No Mercy BeatN ball which doesn't make the noise but can carry from anywhere on a TopHat and DRIVES!

 

Ebonite Xcel Pearl never used it much but explosive sound and carry.

 

Tropic storm pearl.  This little pill makes my ball look like a 2 handers thru the pocket!

 

Regards,

For me, the Virtual Gravity--hands down.


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.

Columbia Messenger Ti, Ball was still killing the pins 5 or 6 years later.  Tough ball to replace when it was stolen.

Ebonite Gamebreaker, and Playmaker. Both balls matched up really well with my game.(or lack thereof !)

I would have to say Track Mean Machine and (as funny as this sounds) Brunswick Punisher. That thing carries the house on light oil and carrydown.
