I recently switched to Track and I'm happy with the results.  It seems to match up to my game pretty well.

Currently, Track - their Robo Core - Green, Mean, Power Machines; Columbia Mid Performance UTurns, Troopers, Scouts; Storm's Roto Grip Oracles-Epics; Planets all seem to match my game. Basically, Columbia for me. But what do you expect, I live next to the great Columbia River Gorge. But will throw anything that I feel reacts adequately.

Had trouble with Brunswick; too rolly for me and some of the Storm Pro Stock's overreacted never got a handle on them. Those are the exceptions.

Track fits my game very well. Have thrown more strings of strikes with them than any other company.

Track is my favorite. Roto Grip is also good, especially their medium and lower cost balls. I also like Hammer and have had success with Ebonite.

Columbia.  I believe a certain companies equipment will match better too a certain bbowler as each company has paticular reactions in there equipment.

Brunswick.  They always have some nice rolly stuff in their line up, which is the kind of ball reaction I prefer (I tend to struggle with balls that have a large backend reaction as I cannot generate much ball speed to consistently keep them right).

I have enjoyed throwing Brunswick and Columbia.  But I dont know if you can label a better ball company than any another.  But if I had to rank them in 3 categories, here is how I would put them:

Great:

Columbia
Brunswick
Hammer
Ebonite

Good:
Lane 1
Roto
Storm
Track

The rest:
Dont care for

My company is Storm....I also throw Roto Grip, but they're both made by Storm, so I figure it's similar to having just one company.  I have been using just Storm for a few months now, and have been having great success with them.  1 300, 1 800, and two 11 in a rows, plus my best score in a PBA regional so far with Storm.  They are matching up very well to my game, and I feel they have excellent customer service.  I've tried just about every other company, with the exception of Visionary I believe, and while I've had a couple Storms I really didn't care for, overall they make a wide range of hard hitting equipment.

I would Have to say Hammer and Track are dead even with me, but i also am very interested in Legends/Lanemasters, they look to have some of the highest quality equipment found.
