I know that different drillings ect. make a big difference in performance, but what ball have you tried that was the flatout biggest disappointing dud? Just curious

I would have to say the Truama Response, the ball was superb on super heavily oiled lanes, which I rarely encounter around my state.

Still have the ball in my closest for sometime down the future maybe.

dynothane anomoly i feel it was false marketing muck weaker ball than v2 strong,addiction or raging inferno on same oil patterns. Even wrote Phil for help and never got a good answer from him on anything that would help.

The Buzzsaw Blueberry, Buzzsaw Golden Nugget, and the original Inferno. These two particular Buzzsaws won't move and the Inferno had too much over and under.

I remember disliking those later Trauma balls. I loved the original and the Shock but the Recovery and Response were not good to say the least. I hated the way my Matrix Dominator died and I remember going through a few Sea Wolf balls before giving up on it...just a few off the top.

Dry Heat.
This was a poorly named ball. It was good for mediums.

It's a tie between the blue/oyster wicked and the voodoo. Couldn't get either one of them to do squat.

Train Wreck,

I can't comment on the Savage Flip, but the Killer Instinct pearl is not a bad ball. There are several guys using that in my Monday league and they bowled very well with it and it seemed to finish very well from what I saw.

I have to disagree with you on this one.

TW,

I guess it just depends on how its drilled and the bowler, you are right..

hands down the storm trauma response. i am glad i didn't give up on storm though as i tried a cheaper ball by them (hot wire) and i love it to death. very few conditions i encounter can i not make it do what i want.

EM,

Most of those are old time stuff.. I have tried 5 or 6 of the newer ones (out within the last 6 months) and have liked all of them except for one. I know they went thru a time a year or so ago that everything they put out was junk..

I was mostly talking about newer stuff, sorry.. Should have been more clear when I ask you which (newer) Ebonite balls have you tried..
