Title: Best bowling ball manufacturers
Post by: RotoStorm864 on July 08, 2010, 01:23:59 PM
I know I'm gonna start a war here but in your opinion which company do you think makes the best equipment in the business and why?

Right now i would say storm/roto grip, but for an upcoming company would be motive, some people might not agree but that is my opinion.

I have had good success with Storm/Roto in the past but would have to say that 900G/AMF is putting out better equipment today that matches up with my game.  JMO.

I'll say Visionary for me,why?
cores are simple for the most part and work very good for my game.
covers hold up better then most IME.
price,best bang for the buck!

so far I have found every Visionary ball I've owned does what it's advertised to do.

only down side is they are not registered with the PBA but that's not a problem for me.

Hammer

For some reason the amount of traction I get in oil with hammer's equipment is sick. Must just match up to my game because before I was throwing storm and roto for the most part and they just hit weak for me.

was I able to score with both yes, but there were a lot of times where I just couldnt get my stuff to hook much at all. I just go with what matches my game and so far I have found that Hammer is the way to go for me.

I agree with that statement.For the last ten years I''ve thrown Columbia "BFE",(before ebonite),Brunswick "BM",(before mexico),Lanemasters/Legends and others.Right now,Storm/Roto is putting out some really good bowling balls.

I was a Storm guy, but outside of my HyRoad, all I throw is Track and Columbia.

All of the manufacturers are putting out good equipment right now. There are some ball companies that match up better with some bowlers than others. There are of course issues that some see with certain manufacturers in terms of coverstock durability, cracking, maintenance etc.

I personally feel that the 2 groups producing balls in Utah and TX are the cream of the crop right now though.
