I didn't match up particularly well with the Ultimate Inferno nor the Strike Zone.  I know others have, but for me they definately were wastes of money.

Ebonite The One and Columbia300 Resurgence. Just couldn't do anything with either balls, I had much better luck with mid-performance balls than them.

The Scorhin was really a bust.  Had one and it was great for about 8 weeks!  Loved the ball but when it died it was useless.  Tried and tried to get the oil out of the thing and finally did about 4 months later.  Excellent ball but only 8 weeks.

My scorchin' had only like 10-15 games total, and it has a pretty strong drilling on it, so im dumbfounded on what the problem could be. Its probably just me.

From what I saw of the EPX and heard about it that ball has to be up there. The Fury was a love hate ball. I know people who love theirs and then I know people that hate it.

Columbia 300 EPX and Brunswick Fury

If you're talking about a big bust in sports this year, just look at Andrew Jones

For all the hype it received, definitely the Columbia EPX.  But then what should we have expected when Carmen Salvino was behind it.

For me it was the Hawg from Hammer, just never could match up to that ball right.

Anyway the Wrath from Columbia was a bust for me
