Most under-rated ball in your opinion
« on: April 19, 2005, 01:54:01 AM »
In my opinion, we are always quick to run out and pay 150+ for a high performance, but in fact, some of the best balls have been in the mid-performance, alla the V2, V2 pearl,and particle, Track Threat, Hex, Slash and etc. I refused to pay a huge sum of money on an OK/certain condition reaction, even though the bowler is what drives the ball, paying 150+ for a certain condition just will not work for me when I can pay much less and get something more versatile. I usually hunt in the mid-performance department to find the diamond in the ruff type of balls that do not cost that much. But a lot of what I find just does not sell well and I do not know why. What are your opinions of some of the most under-rated balls that have come out and really not sold that well?
Mine areNo order)
1. Predator Sparkle (Paid 120 drilled)
2. Neo-Tac Chameleon (Seen too many roll great)
3. Erase-It PBT (great smooth reaction and carry, 115 drilled)
4. Blade Reactive (sold well but had the making of the V2 sanded)
--------------------
I realized that I am a bum! The more I learn the worse I bowl. The faster my feet the more I strike. Why?? I can't tell you why cause I don't know myself. I have learned that you perfect what you do best and be good at what you do. Loft the ball, fast feet, whatever, just enjoy the game and don't complain when you lose. Learn from it and move on.
"I live to bowl but great bowlers bowl to live."-my philosophy.

I have left a pocket 3-9 with a 16lb bowling ball. How'd I do it?????? UHHHHH IOONO Practice James has yet to step up to tourney James.

it my area, we see a lot of brunswick and a lot of storm

i think a lot of the new ebonite stuff is way underrated up here...  the big time looks awesome and it will be in my hands soon..  the xxcel is a killer ball.. i may have 1 or 2 more of these......   A few of the columbia 300 balls look good like the big bully and the overdrive.......  

those are the ones that cometo mind in my area

I just got a Big Bully that was used for only about 20 games - had it plugged, re-drilled and fitted for $85.  Best ball I've owend to date.

I agree with bigballa, the storm charge is an awesome ball, and it gets hardly any recognition. I also think the silver and blue Ti Messenger is a great ball.

Rotogrip Oracle Vision.  I never hear any traffic about this ball.  Very under-rated.  Awesome on the lanes.

Brunswick's Monster Frenzy.  Incredibly underrated ball.

Vendetta
My THS arsenal is all Vendeta.Didn't pay over $150 for any of them.They were only lacking a heavy oil ball but initial reaction is the Maxx fixed that.

Assault Pearl.  It's an older ball, but I don't see many of them around, and this ball comes back from almost anywhere.

Ebonite V2 Sanded and Hammer Saw Blade I think 2 of the best med priced balls out there.
