NOT in my top three would be the Stomp Black/Gold.
I had it drilled 5 by 3 (pin over bridge) with
a hole an axis.  It flared back to the axis
hole!!!!

Any list w/out a Triton Heat (original) would be insane!
When that ball came out, it seemed like it won everything!


My personal list would be:

Triton Heat
Critical Mass Code Red
EMB


Added:
The new stuff looks great locally, just haven't tried them yet.

Voodoo
Sheer Havoc
Animal Untamed

From my personal experience:

Enforcer
Sensor 2
Heat

I know the S2 wasn't a huge seller or anything...I just loved that ball to death!!!  Other balls that you used to see a ton of on racks, etc.:

Critical Mass
Blue Pearl Triton
More recently - Rule

Where's the love for the Nuke and Flare though??

1) Phenom Unleashed
2) Voodoo
3a) Crash (most underappreciated ball in the history of Track??)
3b) Freak-A-Zoid

All this can be yours............

IMHO, the quality that makes a bowling ball truly great is the amount of
people that use a particular ball and have success. I remember when the
Triton Heat came out, guys won everything with them. Regionals, PBA, local stuff around here. It was incredible. I had one and had only marginal success with it and really had more with an EMB. However, I must have been the only bowler to like that piece.

So many that I cannot list......I will try:


Animal
Mutant
CrunchTime


The newer stuff is awesome, but after so few games I cannot say that they make an all-time list yet.

please folks let us remember the pearl stomp that was truely the best ball ever made.  people in st louis today are still waiting for the re-release.  i could name about 5 poeple that had 6 ball arsnals consisting of almost all pearl stomps.  i know i have 5 total all drilled different and if they released them again i would switch from storm to track very fast. but i would also have to have an avenger  and a heat 2 pearl those get the top three in my book
--------------------
heres what i dont understand   some guy in my league has been bowling this league for 5 year same league same house same shot why is there a need for EIGHT (8)  yes i said eight bowling balls      stevie wonder averages 235 at this place!!!!!!!

let me see...

Most versitle ball.....Crunch Time

Worst Ball.....Animal

Some of you might say animal is great. But think back about how many PRO's threw the animal ...VERY Few.

You still see the crunch time in the hands of many...including on TV


so my 3 would be...FOR ME..

1  Crunch Time
2  Phenom
3  Dry Heat

I do like the Xception NOW
