I've thrown the action, action max, and wrath xp.  Didn't like any of them.  I must not match up, like the rest of the 10000 bowlers in my area i guess...

Well I know some people really like the Action line so maybe it is more of a regional thing.

They make decent balls and if you insist on throwing them, they will knock down pins.  Just not as many pins as some other companies...

i believe they make all storm models except the high end.  our dist. told us that storm makes the agent line and the paradigm line.  and pretty much everything else is made by the big c.


You may want to double check on that.  A Storm rep told me that they are making their Tropicals and Jolts only.  He said they even have someone else making the plastic balls.

It's not the ball it's the bowler and if you depend on a ball company for score then you must not have to much raw talent or your bowling on the biggest wall in the midwest.

Down to one shift?  Wow, they must not have enough stuff to produce.  I mean, they only manufacture the following balls:
Columbia300
Track
AMF300

Dynothane
