My purple and gold bash is so awesome. When i first got it, it was hooking more than my old domination. Now it is always in my bag, and carrying better than ever. I love it! Its just that ball that rolls off my hand perfectly every time.

Interesting that someone should jokingly mention Lane #1 because in a couple of occasions, it happens to be true: XXXL and Liberator, especially the XXXL. There are guys I've bowled with who badmouth Lane #1 mercilessly but when the black XXXL came out, I could walk up and down the house and see XXXLs peering out from bags all over the place.
Biggest single ball in this category in the last 5-10 years, though, may be the AMF Orbit Extreme. It has a real core and wears SuperFlex, and sold at most pro shops for $100 or less.
In general, though, the comment about entry-level equipment in general is accurate. Most all equipment is so good these days that there are very few bad balls, even at the lowest levels.

i think most "low end" equpiment could fall into this category. it seems, that the latest, greatest most hooking equipment is hyped. however, for many bowlers, these entry level balls fit a variety of needs in an arsenal. i really like my power groove. i rarely get ot use it...but when i can...it's performance is tremendous.
I agree with the statement about the "low end" equipment. Most people could use these pieces with HUGE success on the THS, but go for the higher end stuff anyways.

REgards,

PS I am not sure all lowend equipment is the answer....I think when carrydown is present....big cores with lots of diff do the trick! LOVE my Awesome REVS....but it was NOT underrated!

Open the door...see what's possible...and just walk right on through...that's how easy success feels..

Raid- another great piece rolls long and moves off the breakpoint w/ avengence. She got out shined by the gamebreaker( don't get me wrong a very versatile ball) and then was discontinued (breaks my heart).
I see alot of solids listed but which pearls do you think was underreated?

Anyway the biggest ball in the CAT line was the Predator, but their were alot of other goods one in there: Predator/Tiger/Puma/Wildcat(I had this one). I actuallly think this line was better.

It is a sweet ball though.

The Tour Power didn't get alot of the hype either, IMO. I loved that ball,

But lately, the Brunswick Avalanche series is I think, underrated. These are great balls at a great price point. Easy to sell and make happy customers.
I think when you start talking about Balls of the Year and sleepers of the Year and duds of the year you need to consider the demographics of your area. Our association is made up of over 40% senior bowlers. They don't have a lot of ball speed, and they don't want to spend a lot of money.
