In your opinion what is the most versatile ball out there on the market today. If you could only use 1 ball for conditions med to med heavy what would it be?

As you know as staffers from our company we get tired and tired of hearing negative things about our company from people who have never thrown our equipment and it happens 90% of the time on this site, a ball review site for us bowlers to promote and help fellow bowlers. When I see a thread like this yes as a bowler I want the knowledge of someone who's thrown more than the mastermind, HYPERCELL or the red ball. But I did offer my opinion as a staffer and as a non staffer.

I never slammed your brand. If any other known staffer posted I would have made the same comment.  It's 'staffers' not 'brand'.  Maybe others have and I can understand the frustration it causes. And when I'm wrong or did not see something in the way others may and it's brought to my attention, I will admit being wrong or comment as I did above.

I hear ya, and yea this site has been horrible recently, it just seems soon as one of our staffers post someone has something negative to say. But probably 80% of those say me folks probably throw the ball like an octopus falling from a tree and can only throw 1 ball with no versatility. But yes I've thrown plent of brands before becoming a staffer and to this day the Hyroad has been the most versatile. The closest ball I have seen since coming to lord field has been the Torment. I have video on that ball as I do on every other release if you care to check out my YouTube page.

well im not a staffer and i listed the seismic euphoric as the most versatile ball i have right now . for lighter conditions i do love my lord field off the chain , but my favorite ball right now is the mastermind , went 300 , 279 212 last week with it , should have switched to the euphoric last game , my point being most versatile doesnt have to mean favorite ball , its the 1 that can perform well on the greatest variety of conditions , and all companies make great stuff

Personally, I have no problems with staffers giving their opinions on a versatile ball. If they don't let the general public know about different bowling options in the bowling universe.....who will?

I mean, until this thread happened, I had no idea that there was a ball called the Torment, or one called Off-the-Chain! Now I can bookmark these pieces for further research. Staffers will always be staffers and back their products. That's what they are supposed to do; but this does not diminish their ratings and/or opinions of that product any more or less, to me. It does give me a starting point, however for further review.

This site is about providing information. Whether biased or non-biased, the info should be available for all to discern what is most useful to the interested individual who gets it. Just my two cents.

I can appreciate the suggestion of the Torment by Pat actually. I too, am tired of the "rah, rah" of the majority of staffers here. However, it seems to me that Pat didn't do that, instead he gave us his real world opinion. Why do I think that? Because he didn't automatically suggest the latest "shiny new toy" from Lord Field/Lane Masters. The Torment has been around a quite a while.  That says a lot about the value of the ball.

For medium-heavy to heavy.  First I'd choose a solid cover with a medium Rg.  Two balls I think look great but I use neither and have no axe to grind.  Radical Reax Ver 2 and a RotoGrip Disturbed.  You could change the cover to use on those lane conditions and with a solid cover you have better options.  I'd be looking at one of those two.
