…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

I wasn't much of a bowler when this ball was released but I'll say the Cuda/C pearl and Jade Piranha/C. Wish I had the knowledge now 17 yrs ago! lol

I'm game.

I happily missed out on the Ebonite Crush/R. I stayed with my Turbo X for 2 years while everyone went Crush/R. It was a great hard-hooking ball for its time, but I just didn't want to jump on the bandwagon, to say.

Glad I didn't, because the next ball that came out after that made everyone stomp their feet and wish they had waited: Ebonite's Nitro/R.

Others that I missed out on (by choice):

Columbia Aftershock
Columbia Beast
Columbia Cuda/C
Columbia Quake (I got in on the Pearl Quake)
Columbia Pulse (I got in on the Pearl Pulse)
Forest Fire Storm
Danger Zone squared
Ebonite Matrix
Hammer Vicious (didn't want; got in on Ebonite's TPC Warrior)
Hammer Hot Sauce Pearl (again, didn't want; I got in on the Total NV and Complete NV)

Good round to start on.

A guy on my dad's league still rolls an LT-48. It rolls, feels, and looks like a hard round rock. Haha

There was a guy last year in our early Monday night league that had an LT-48 and would use it on occasion.  Then again, he had no problems with that since he only had ball speed around 11-13mph.  He also had an older purple Rhino Pro.

I missed out on:

Roto-Grip Cell and Cell Pearl
Brunswick Zone Classic both red pin and white pin (I think), Red Zone.

I'm sure there's probably another 30 I can't remember!
