Motiv Forza Redline. For the color alone...

This has to be the Phaze or the Fight, right? I know some had success with those balls but is seems like the general feeling on them was disappointment. Can't really think of anything else off the top of my head.

I think the Phaze wins this hands down. $100 worth of performance at twice the price!

Did it? I guess it sucked enough to earn the award in consecutive years then.  ;D

STORM???? Really!!

I actually don't like negative posts like this because we all know that it is about the match-up with the individual, and the conditions, more than it is the ball itself.

That said, I would say the Phaze was hit or miss, but definitely NOT a bad ball. I am still trying to get my hands on one, as a matter of fact!

Guy in my Friday league holds the high set for the season with an 826 shooting with a Phaze, so it can't be all that bad!

I think it's perceived as so bad because it's very conditional. I had a friend go 300/800 with it but prior to and after that, more times than not, it was crap. One of those balls that when it matches up, you're solid, but when it doesn't...ditch it quick.
