Most under rated ball
« on: March 15, 2008, 03:59:58 AM »
For me I would have to say with the current stuff it would be the Storm surefire great ball you really don't hear much about and the old Roto grip Asault line I still have all three and still use them all the time.

Totally agree with Monster Pike about the Shift. I could just carry that ball and a spare ball to cover 90% of the lane conditions I face in league and tourney's.

Underrated = something typical bowlers look over or look at with disgust because they A) don't know anything about it and B) are scared to try it thinking its a piece of crap because nobody else is throwing it.

I think its funny because my home center pushes Ebonite and Hammer stuff because they are a distributor.  But all you see are No Mercy's, Black Widows, and NV's and when you ask about even these companies' midprice line they say they are junk (not many if any Vibes, or GameBreakers or anything like that being thrown).  

Alot of balls even from the bigger companies (BVP line among others) are being looked over and down upon.  I asked a question (knowing I would get a negative response) about the BVP line, and I was told they were throw away balls that soak up oil quickly and are junk in 6 months because they are made with "less quality" resins...  What a load of CRAP!  It's all great equipment, along with the stuff from Visionary, L/LM, AMF, Track and even some of the newer companies are putting out some good stuff (900G and Banger).

My overlooked/underrated picks goes to:

FMG from Visionary
Track Rising  

Nobody has Track around here and we came across one for my Fiance used, and she absolutely loves it.

Later,

Roto Grip Odyssey. Doesn't get a lot of love but it is a great ball.
