Bowling balls, you either hate, or hate seen being used by someone
« on: September 28, 2003, 01:14:37 PM »
Well i know we have all seen bowling balls that are in or have been in Proshops, and we always wonder what Idiot would buy them, or use them well here you go and Let them Rip.

Well i think the one guy that first comes to my mind was a guy who i bowled with for the past two yrs on a league, he had two of the Quantum Helix balls the Black/Gold and Blue/Red.  And he loved them, and for his style they worked great but i never seen anyone else use them.  I just hope he didnt buy them brandnew when they first came out lol.  

Now i myself, i havent used too many Bowling balls i didnt like, since i use all STORM hehehe but i did have a Lightning drilled up for a house that had super dry backends. well when i went to use the ball, i was playing up 10 on one lane, and over 25 on the other lol.  The ball was so oil sensative the way it was drilled that it was junk.

You know, in all my years of bowling I've never thrown a ball I'd call "useless"...

Oh wait, yes I have! It's called the "Wow".

Not to say that it wouldn't work for some people... or with a different drilling... but I've tried this sanded, polished, matte, you name it. Always the same crappy reaction. I don't see many people throwing it, so maybe I'm not in the minority here.

I love mine! It is one of the best balls I have ever thrown. Would love to have more!! (HINT HINT NUDGE NUDGE)...

The only thing that bugs me is the guy on my monday night league that throws a blue dot about a million MPH, Or maybe his partner that throws a Raging Inferno about the same speed and it it just goes straight as a string while I am throwing my blade pearl.

But I really have no dislike for any Bowling ball.

what rev said. I'll be throwing my zebra at like 15 and going nose or stoning 8 and 9 pins while some fudger is going up ten with a super sanded icon 300 or super carbide bomb carrying the house.

I've had some that just didn't work for me!

X-it, Too Hot, La Nina, Beast, Chaos, Monster Frenzy,
Red Fuze, Vortex II original(incredible huh?).

The one I've not been impressed with are the WOW, and the Purple Fuze!

REgards,

I'm with bass the Bone XS. One of my teamates has one. He doesn't use it
anymore because he changed to a lighter weight ball.

A blast from the past, but my all-time most hated ball would be the Golden Angle.  That was the ugliest ball I had ever seen.

All Storm Balls that I've had (6), plus a couple of Columbias plus the AMF Bone XS have been nothing but money thrown away and junk to me.

Only one ball... The Apex Aggression.

When I see someone bowling well with it I feel bad for them since I know it's only a matter of 30 or so more games before their ball is dead.

Along with O, the Golden Shower, oops, meant Golden Angle was pretty aweful looking, same with the Bone XS, Trauma Response, Vicious Particle (Green Yellow) and Fuel. The funny thing is, a couple of those balls (VP & Fuel) actually worked fairly well on the lanes, so I guess looks don't mean that much.

Bowling is without a doubt the dumbest, most pointless, most idiotic excuse for a game that has ever been invented. So, what time are we bowling tomorrow?

LOL. In heavy oil. (which as you know we hardly ever see) I use the WOW! or IMOM depending on how you look at it, For med/light with screaming back ends I use the Blade Pearl Cuz the ENG is to much. Every other condition is the ENG.
Would love to find a couple cases of these. Simply the BEST ball ever made!!

I can't stand the Sprit I have. Lucky for me, I got it from a ball league so I really didn't pay for it, if you know what I mean. It hits like a marshmallow in the dry house and won't wrinkle in the house I got it in. BTW, after that league, they installed synthetic lanes and changed the oil pattern.
