« on: December 23, 2003, 09:44:17 PM »
What was by far, the most overrated, overpriced, worst hitting, pile if doggie-doo made this year?

Thought it is difficult to really say anything out there is terrible anymore, I have to say that the X Factor ReLoaded was probably the DUD front runner.

I was afraid someone would ask this question .. I've used the GOLDEN NUGGET twice .. first time on OIL (med/HVY) .. ball was GREAT .. knew what to expect .. adjusted when necessary .. blew the pins away .. second attempt allies were med/dry ..  different house .. BALL WAS A FLOP! If I wanted a CONDITION SPECIFIC ball .. I would have bought something MUCH CHEAPER .. In my books .. this ball is a FLOP!

X-Factor Reloaded is an absolutely horrible ball....Several regional pros in my area got rid of theirs within a week....big time flop considering the Deuce and the Pearl were very solid balls...

I would have to go with the throttle-R. I haven't thrown one, but I have heard many horror stories about quick ball death with this one.

Come on guys, in order to call a ball a flop, you have to use it more than 3 or 6 games.. Some balls take longer to get used to than others.. Thats common sense..

Also, just because you "heard" a ball or series was a flop, that means nothing. If you have used the ball, then make the comments why it's the worst of 2003.

Joe Falco, if you don't want that POS Golden Nugget, message me. I will buy it from you!! LOL..

If they only made a ball that would carry that d*mn 10 pin..

Joe Falco, you are one funny guy.  You used the GN on the oil condition it's meant for (med/hvy oil), and it worked great.  Then you take it to a lane condition it is not meant for (med/dry), and it sucks, so you call it a condition-specific flop.  Hahahahahaha...

When people say a ball is "condition-specific", they don't mean it can't be used on everything from dirt to a flood.  There's no ball that can!

Did you at least put some extra polish on the GN before using it on med/dry lanes?

JKiser. And why isn't that reason enough to call a ball a flop? I don't have the right to call it a flop because I wasn't dumb enough to spendd 200 dollars on it?  If 30 people in your local house tell you a ball sucks, are you going to go buy it? If you are then I bet a lot of people here have throttles they would sell you.

Seadrive. That is exaclty what condition specific means. You can use a ball on one condiiton and not the other. Joe was right in calling the ball condition specific. You are right, all balls are, but some balls can handle a wider variety of conditions than others can.

example: I can use my inferno on more conditions than someone else could use their swamp monster.

Pirhana Over priced. ball was good, just the price it was at killed any chance of it selling. The people that threw it, liked it but hated the price tag with it.

Reloaded seemed a fizzer for most, needed polish. Same with Phenom. Saw a couple Wireds Die as well.

Ebonite hammer didn't have too many balls in the can this year, which was a surprise.
