Gentlemen... I DO appreciate ALL the comments, and didn't want to start a little skirmish between posters, though I guess it's inevitable in this forum with so many different (and strong) opinions involved.
All information helps, because the way my arsenal over time (and I am in my low 50's...been bowling for many many years) consists mainly of current aggressive balls and formerly aggressive balls. And my knowledge and reference point for comparison shopping of the lower priced or less aggressive stuff is minimal because of this.
I had (until recently when, after numerous re-drills it lost a part of it's filler around the fingers and I donated it to the lanes) a green circa-1982 Brunswick Plastic ball and still have a Brunswick Black Diamond. But there's a void between those balls and the rest of my stuff that I am only now looking to fill (never felt I needed that type ball before). So... you guys did exactly what I needed you to do. Gave me some ideas as to some current and older equipment that might be the answer. And, I'm kind of lazy, of course, and like to be able to see and touch the ball before I buy it. So I'm a little more interested in balls that I've actually seen in the pro shop or that I could buy off a friend (aka the Cherry Vibe). But that doesnt mean I'm not still considering the rest. Just wanted to narrow the field a bit and get some info.
So thank you again to all.
Oh... as for my arsenal. I'll try to remember all to list here in no particular order (most are 16's, a few 15's):
Brunswick Command Zone
Brunswick HPC Danger Zone
Storm El-Nino X-it
Storm Trauma Recovery
Champions Ultimate Weapon
Columbia Complete Chaos
Brunswick Black Diamond
Hammer [Raw] Anger (2 of them)
Hammer Black Widow Bite
Ebonite Big One (2 of these also)
Storm Triple X Factor (2 of these)
Storm Triple Extreme (2 of these too)
Ebonite Raid (2 of them)
And I think that's all of them. Until recently, I never felt the need for anything weaker than any of these, as some of the older ones are effectively only medium strength despite their heritage. Actually best for me would be something like my Command Zone which still hits very hard and still moves well. Something just like it, but at a slightly lower level.
And I'm open to new ball companies, BUT... as I said, interested mainly in brands/balls I have easy access to. And I am old fashioned and loyal and will not buy a ball on the internet and ask my driller to fit it for me. I still believe in buyin from my driller (or a friend) even if the price is higher with the driller. But that should be another thread.
The brands I have SEEN in the Pro Shops I visit most are:
Brunswick, Storm, Hammer, Columbia, Ebonite, and Track.
Some day I would like to try Lane 1, Lanemasters, 900 global, Visonary, etc., but as I mentioned, want to see them up close and personal beforehand.
