There is only one particle ball that I've thrown that was HORRIBLE and I'm sad, because it had such a cool name.

The Hammer Truck.  I've never had a ball hit as weakly as this one...HORRIBLE!

Actually I do have one lol... Tornado Particle Urethane. I shot a 240 then a couple of 150's with it, but other than that it was crap. To me the Tornado Tps was a piece! That was a very nice ball. I shot my first honor score, 278 (open then 11 in a row), with that ball.

The worst particle I have thrown so far was the X Factor RE-Loaded. Not bad for the ball reaction, but the coverstock was crap. Polished, the ball would not hook at all, and I had to keep the ball constantly sanded after every set of games to keep up the performance (1.000 grit, just OOB). The ball tracked out easily and after 10 games or so, traction and hook potential were considerably reduced. It even did not handle that much oil as I expected. Was a big disappointment to me, especially after very good experience with an Eraser Particle Pearl (which I still have and use).

Anything that was marked Proactive or TEC....the entire APEX line...let us not forget the Big Blue solid...that really blew.

Track Particle and Lane #1 particle, I've had good results with both fizzled out eventually, but nowhere near as quick as the others above.

ON EDIT....My WMB was a turd

BrainCRX90 ... the Delta ISN'T a particle ball, my man; it's an assymetrical reactive.

Monstercrank ... if you believe that ALL particle balls die within a month or so, then try the Legends/Lane Masters line; they will certainly change your mind !!!

OK, back to topic ... TRACK EMB for me; too unpredictable.

I've had good sucess with most particles, but the one that just didn't match up for me was the Big Blue. SGC300, the Hammer Truck was not a particle ball, nor was it a POS, least not for me.

Chooosing balls is kinda like choosing someone to marry ... the selection process is KEY !!!

Storm Trauma Response. Sure, I shot my second biggest series with it, but that was playing a down-and-in line which isn't my A, B or even C game, yet it's what the conditions called for that night, and this ball (which was incapable of moving move than 3 boards for me) obliged perfectly. And yes, I threw this ball on conditions with adequate head oil.

I also had no luck with the Flipside Wow. I did redrill it with a different mapping and it worked better, but still not good.

track silencer. high scores for 3 months then constant 8,s , 9,s 8-10's and crazy stuff. it went from a stud to dud in a matter of 75 games or so. ill stick to reactive resins. but what the heck do i know? i dont even have a 300!
lets face it... this isnt deadlifting or picking up women.. its BOWLING!!!! Stop acting tough when you roll 4 strikes in a row!!!
