Post by: NicholasE on May 08, 2008, 04:17:20 PM: Morich Total Shock & Awe is one that I don't see anything about. This ball kicks booty given that there is some oil. Even without a lot of oil last Sat in the 9pin tourny I shot 9 in a row then through two nine strikes then another natural. I was mad..but I still got accounted for a 300 but i wanted that natural so bad again..lol

Another great ball thats over looked is the Bash by Ebonite. I've gotten LOTS of high games with this one. On a decent night I avg over 210 with it.

Matter of fact just Monday night for 7 games I avg a 244 using the TS&A along with the Bash. then just got flat out exhausted and shot two low games one around 200 and other a 180 and still managed to avg 222.

Great balls and everyone wonders why my friend and I shoot so high! lol

Post by: themachine300 on May 08, 2008, 05:09:09 PM: I wouldn't say the Complete NV is overated, the NVS yes, but not the Complete. Every one i've seen has looked great. The NVS on the other hand, not so great

Post by: mainzer on May 08, 2008, 05:19:44 PM: underated: I would have to say Bangers stuff as a whole Pounders and Finders at least the two I have. HFS and HPP Both have smooth breaks and amazing carry and read the lane very very well. I would take my HFS and HPP over THE Break, any Agent, any NV, or any Widow.

Overated: Anything Ebonite. The Break is a okay ball but I am not 100 percent sold on it yet.

Post by: justdale on May 08, 2008, 06:04:55 PM: I have to with the Columbia Apogee, but also, The Wrath High Flush has gotten very little respect, for me that ball is very very good.
Don't get me wrong the Rival is probably the most versatile ball in the Columbia line

Post by: fluff33 on May 08, 2008, 06:12:38 PM: The most underrated ball of this season has to be the Ebonite Raid. We have had more honor scores shot with Raids we have drilled than any other ball this year.

Post by: tenpin477 on May 08, 2008, 07:55:37 PM: Storm X-Factor Deuce. I don't see too many of them anymore, and I don't recall seing too many of them then, but the ball works wonders.

Post by: FastTracker33 on May 08, 2008, 08:40:10 PM: Most underrated, in my opinion, would have to be the AMF Orbit Xtreme Sky Blue.. What a piece of equipment that ball is.

Post by: Brickguy221 on May 08, 2008, 09:42:34 PM: AMF Heist....one of the best and most versatile balls I have owned. Reminds me a lot of the Track Havoc I used to have which was also very versatile and even though it had a strong backend, the Heist is stronger, mixes the pins better and carries better.

Post by: chadw1974 on May 08, 2008, 10:02:40 PM: What about the Anger. My brother has 2 of them & does pretty damn good with them. He's also the only 1 I've seen throwing it. The way this ball works for him, I'm surprised you never see any of the pros using it.

Post by: Maine Man on May 09, 2008, 04:26:30 AM: Brunswick Fury

This ball seems to have received a bum rap due to the hype before it's release, but this ball is flat out awesome. It is a very versatile ball, and is the ball I go to when the shot is tough and nothing else will read the lanes consistently.
