I haven't been following ball companies and now I'm...
« on: September 26, 2016, 11:53:25 AM »
confused to what ball to choose.

I have a hyroad, breeze, and blue hammer. Under the hyroad, what ball do you recommend?? it doesn't matter the company, I'm open to using other brands besides storm. I used to just choose one ball company for the simplicity, but I think it's time to mix it up.

Also, I'm on a budget. Anything under $115 online price. My kids school/day care/sport/band ain't cheap. I could of got a 425i gran coupe this last June, but opt for a little banger 1.5 2016 honda hatchback. (plus, gran coupe no manual)

Anyway, I thought about trying motiv, 900, and radical. These are companies I haven't tried yet. (well motiv primal tv was the first and last motiv, I hated it. Cover was hard to figure out)

Send your kid to public high school and live a little.  By the time your kid gets out in the world and gets a job that private high school is gonna make no difference.

I have been using Roto Grip and most recently Storm. You will like Roto's Hp3 and Hp2 line -- great stuff for the price! Haywire and the Wrecker are great balls!

Thanks, I'll look into those balls. All these names and lines and radiology symbol ratings are confusing. But I did see a hectic - silver/purple looking ball last year too. looks decent.

Ebonite GB2 series $115, great ball for the money 3 to pick from, (I didn't care for the gold one)
http://www.bowlersmart.com/bowling-gear/bowling-balls/ebonite-bowling-balls

Hammer viral - 100 bucks
2 hammer rebel - 126 bucks
both good choices depending on lane conditions

Columbia delirium shock is a great ball $119 bucks

Don't buy Storm or Roto Grip.
Roto Grip changes their ball line up so damn often. Like Sinister was out for a few months, then it was replaced by Menace, and that ball only lasted 2-3 months. That made me loose any trust I had towards them. Like they're just experimenting and releasing shit.
Storm has a 1 year guarantee, while every other company has 2 years, Hammer has 3.
That makes me think Storm doesn't belive that their balls will crack fast, which they do often :P

Buy either Ebonite, Motiv or Brunswick.
Brunswick and DV8. Ebonite is Hammer, C300, Track and EBI of course.

Might stick with Motiv from now on.
