The only real bad one for me was the V2 Particle.  Tried two different drillings and many surface modifications.  Too early/strong for any medium oil, not nearly enough ball for anything heavier.  I had to bury the ball deep in the pocket in order to get reliable carry.  No matter what I tried, the ball burned up too much energy too early for me.  I know it wasn't a bad ball, but it was a bad match up for me.

Chaos (shot 290 with but ball never did too much for me)

I'm going to put the ball I had least success with, the El Nino X-It. It would have been a good ball for me if I had a driller that knew what he was doing at the time. During that time, I was a REALLY low tracker. I was spinning the ball I was trying to iron that out. The ball for me at that time probably had a 1 inch pin to pap and 6 inch mb to pap at that time. So the ball didn't hook much, or as much as it should. At that time I had a cherry messenger that hooked more. I actually really like particle equipment. I like the smoother moves they take.

I wasn't super thrilled with the Power Groove Proactive.  High-RG plus dull particle surface seems kinda contradictory.  Plus as a speed-dominant bowler, I had a hard time getting it to rev up well.

I don't agree with laner7pin about the Mutant, though.  Great ball, smooth as silk.  It was the first Track ball I had and if all their releases are like that, it's no wonder they're one of the best companies around.  I know a bunch of other players around here that were (are) big fans of the Freak series.
