Curious: Ever had a ball you shot big with but didnt like?
« on: December 26, 2008, 06:27:22 PM »
I was just curious if I was the only one out there...
I shot 300 with my fury pearl, but for some reason, I just didnt take a liking to it. I dunno why.

Anybody else have the same experience?

Black Widow Pearl.  Shot my 1st and 3rd highest series with it, but I didn't like it.  I sold it on here for pretty cheap.

I'm not exactly sure what it was about it, but I just didn't like it and had no problem letting it go.

My Black Widow on the other hand has like 500 games on it, is torn up with chips, dents and cracks, and I can't get rid of it.

Weird.

Storm Hot Rod, 300/760+ with it and won city state doubles..could never get it to do the same thing, it would always be a board or 2 difference in reaction.

Thank god for luck or I'd have shot 620. Don't know how many light hits it carried..mix em up, i guess -_-

Shot a 289 and a 300 with my Big Block Diesel, but was never quite happy with it.  It eventually developed a fatal case of crackitis

The Boss solid has been my least favorite ball that works well for me.....actually I hate it.  I tried to sell it 2 weeks after I bought it, and noone wanted it.  I shot 300 in '97 with it and tossed it in the closet.  Pulled it out in '01 and shot 792, and a few weeks later, shot another 300.  I still carry it, but it don't come out too often.

First 3 games with my ebonite matrix shot 812!  Never shot over 650 again.  Couldn't match up with it after that so I gave it away.

I shot 300 with a black particle power groove that has something messed up inside the ball. It flares the wrong way and tracks like 2" higher then any ball across the finger and thumb holes.

I shot my high series with a Track Rule Delta 1.  For a ball that was supposed to be real strong, I had to square up and slow roll the track area to get that ball to do anything.

I shot my highest game, and my 2nd and 5th highest sets with my Black Widow Bite. I redrilled it twice, constantly tweaked the surface, and just never had any confidence in what it was going to do down lane.

Gave it to my father.

i'd say mine was with the Fire Power,  first nite i had the ball, i shot a low 600, and had the ball drilled to really get down the lane since the house i was bowling at was having a oil embargo lol.   After that, i just couldnt get the same reaction except for one nite during a singles exhibition league when i caught fire...
