High End - Storm X-Factor Deuce - the ball was so versatile.  You could drill it so many ways and get a completely different reaction from each one.

Mid-price - Ebonite V-2 - Same as above, but it was even more verstatile.  Possibly the most versatile ball made in the reactive resin era

Low End - Storm Hot Rod - This ball had my favorite cover of all time with a weaker weight block.  It would be amazing later in blocks when I needed a little more push through the fronts.

High End: Ebonite NVD- It gets the job done and simply destroys the pins. And very versatile with changing the coverstock.

Mid-Price: Ebonite RXS300- Only ball that I've shot multiple 300 games with. Has a unique ball motion and was bit of a "redeemer" ball from Ebonite after having no success with The One.

Entry Level: Columbia300 Scout Hi-Flare- Scout line has mainly been the only entry level balls I've ever owned. The Hi-Flare had more backend than some of the higher end stuff most of the time back then and carried better in the pocket.

High End - Hot Sauce Pearl - Threw my only 300 with this ball a few months ago, also threw a 665 in states with it, which got me my money back.

Mid Price - Raw Hammer Anger - Very strong and controllable for me, good on heavy or long oil.

Entry Level - If the Ebonite Bash qualifies, then it's this. Very readable benchmark type ball.

High end-----INFERNO
Most predictable roll I've had on the high end balls. Carry was great as well

Midline------GAMEBREAKER
Predictability and dependability. I knew where it was going every time I released it.

Entry Level--ORBIT EXTREME
Allows me to continue to play the dry track area after others have had to move with little or no loss of carry
