The ball you missed out on that everyone loved
« on: December 21, 2012, 09:10:20 AM »
Is there anyone out there who feels like they really missed out on a great ball?

I missed the boat on:

Total NV
Action
Virtual Gravity
The whole 505 series (A, C, T)

I had a Total NV. Drilled it up a year after being discontinued. I wish I had sold it instead.

There are several to list, but they are worth more undrilled then drilled. Sometimes it is best just to let them go.

I agree...  many times I have found "old" classics that I had loved in the past and drilled up.  Most of the time I have been disappointed...

Black Widow

Ditto for me. I wanted one and let the driller talk me out of it.  >:(

Wow, seems like I'm seeing Black Widow and Cell a lot.

To be honest, I don't think you guys missed out on much there: I had one of each and wasn't a fan of either. The Black Widow was okay.

But I do wish I could drill a new Black Widow now that I'm a little better bowler.
