My original Inferno.  Decided to trade it in to get a better price on a new ball.  I loved that ball, just went stupid for a day there.

I got 2, the Red Predator and the Savage.  

Predator was one of the first balls I drilled up when I got to college.  Used it all the way through on a LOT of stuff.  After a few years of hanging on to it, I finally decided to sell it to someone.  Definitely a ball I wouldn't mind getting back.  

Had the Savage for years also, and just loved the way it rolled.  Just became one of those pieces that sat while I was trying new stuff.  Finally decided to get rid of it after not throwing it for months.

My friend was in about a year long slump and I gave him my Ebonite V2. Got him out of the slump, but was probably the worst decision I've ever made in my life.

Blue/Green CENTAUR.

 A friend wanted to try it, and I wasn't using it much, so I said O.K. since we throw the same span, just smaller thumbs.

 Got to the center the next week, and to my horror, saw him in the shop drilling new holes in it. Without asking me, he had completely plugged it and redrilled it in a different layout.

 Needless to say, he didn't like the ball, and I got it back, but with the plugs now in it. I tried to fix it back, but it never was the same.

Blue Hammer... I gave it away 4 years ago. Still would work when the lanes were dry on the backends.

Never sold or traded a ball away... I did throw out a Brunswick Lazer ball... don't miss it though.

I can say I've missed out on buying balls before production stopped... Some older Storm balls, the Paradigm, Passion & Double Agent come to mind.. off the top of my head.

Fury Pearl.

I just found a N.I.B. one last month, and will never part with it again.

Danger Zone and Teal Rhino Pro.  I know those would still work today.  Gave the Teal away about 7 years ago and the DZ about 4 years ago.
