Rate your balls!
« on: May 09, 2008, 02:47:32 AM »
I already know that some of you will have a field day with that title, but what I'm really asking you to do is take a stroll down memory lane to rate some of the gear that you've put into your hands. Some questions may only be relevant to true ball junkies like myself, so don't worry if you are unable to answer them all. I know it's tough, but do your best to put only one answer for each question. If you have additional questions that you think should be asked, feel free to put them into your response so those that follow can chime in. Have fun, and let's see what we get.

1. How many bowling balls have you owned:   160-170
2. The first ball someone bought for you was: Blue Pearl Hammer
3. Your first performance ball was: AMF Cobra (black)
4. Your first reactive resin ball was: Nu-Line X-Calibur (Purple Pearl)
5. Your first particle ball was: Granite Gargoyle
6. Your first particle pearl ball was: Purple Ice Executioner
7. Your highest series was bowled with: Black Widow Solid (804)
8. Your higest game was bowled with: The One (300)
9. The ball that most impressed you: Black Widow Solid
10. The ball that disappointed you the most: Vicious (original reactive)
11. The ball you sold/traded/broke that you most want back: Pearl Cherry Bomb
12. The best hitting ball you've ever owned: Granite Gargoyle
13. The worst hitting ball you've ever owned: Trauma Response
14. The best looking ball you've ever owned: Uranium Pearl
15. The ugliest ball you've ever owned: Trauma Response
16. The ball you most wanted but never got to own/throw: Apex Adrenaline
17. The ball you know will always find the pocket: Black Widow Solid
18. The ball that baffled you the most: Power Groove (Gold/Chrome)
19. The most over-rated ball you've ever owned: Raw Hammer Doom
20. The most under-rated ball you've ever owned: Blade Pearl
21. The biggest hooking ball you've ever owned: N'Sane LevRg
22. The earliest-rolling ball you've ever owned: Super Carbide Bomb
23. The least-hooking non-spare ball you've owned: Lane 1 Bullet
24. The ball you've won the most $$ with: C300 Action
25. The ball you don't currently have but want the most: The Cell

OK, those are my answers. Go ahead and copy down the questions and put in your own responses. Again, feel free to add questions that you deem appropriate, but make sure to let us know that you added them so that others will be sure to include them in their lists. Have fun!
