I prefer Columbia 300.  I've tried several other companies and while I admit all the other companies are good, C300 equipment just seems to match up a lot better with me.  I have more confidence with them and so it gives me confidence on the lane cause I know I have stuff that works well for me.

I prefer Track because their stuff works well with my game, but I am going through an exploration phase and am going to try stuff from other companies.

I have tried many companies. But I feel that Brunswick and Storm are the best ones for my game.

ARSENAL

COLUMBIA-U2
BRUNSWICK-STRIKE ZONE
STORM-PYRO
MORICH-ONSLAUGHT
--------------------
T.J.

BOWLING IS FUN NO MATTER WHAT YOU SCORE. BUT A 300 IS ALWAYS NICE.

STRIKE ZONE & PYRO. STAND 18 AND THROW 10 OUT TO 5 AND SMASH THE POCKET. AT LEAST THAT IS THE PLAN OF THE NIGHT...

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD BOWLING!!!

Brunswick all the way!!!!! Their typical "rolly" coverstocks seem to match up to my game although I love my Radicals!

Storm all the way. Have used some Columbia, Track & Dynothane stuff in the past few years, but Storm always has matched up well with my game. And the new Thunder and Agent lines are awesome. Real controllable hard arc reactions.

I guess the better question should be, Why does a certain company match up better with a particular bowler? Is it just physcological, or are there technical reasons why? I've thrown Ebonite, Storm, Track, Hammer, Columbia, and Brunswick and i've seen no difference in hitting power, scores, etc....

Roto Grip. I switched 2 years ago from Track/Columbia due to problems with the equipment not matching up well and could not be happier. I have shot more honor scores in 2 years with Roto Grip than I have in 10 years with Columbia/Track.

Track is my company of choice.  I tend to like equipment that break later in the lane and Track makes more equipment that does so. Although I am currently venturing off into other companies checking them out as well.  I recently acquired a Morich Total Shock and Awe, and a Columbia 300 Rockstar.  Come monday or tuesday my Brunswick Inferno will be here as well. As of yesterday I also picked up a Columbia 300 Action Packed and a Red Lane 1 XXXL

Track. All the companies make good stuff, but I score better with Track. Dynothane is a close second, threw a 685 with my Thing Returns tonite.
