Best ball cover
« on: January 06, 2009, 07:05:13 AM »
What bowling ball company do you think has the best covers, Meaning easy to adjust and doesn't die after 20 games.
From my personal experience i would have to say its between Brunswick & Visionary.

I have had the best luck with Visionary covers over all, very user friendly to adjust and i have never had one die.

Between Brunswick and Storm, never had either of these companies die on me.

Storm, by a mile. It also rates at the top of being able to take surface adjustments yet be able to change things back when needed.

Visionary, LaneMasters/Legends and Brunswick are all very good, though.

From my experience I'd say Storm and Brunswick.

Brunswicks PK coverstocks and from my experience every Storm Coverstock besides EOX have been extremely durable and have had no death.

As someone who loves brunswick, storm, & lanemasters. I have NEVER had problems with ANY of these companies. I will NEVER buy another ebonite, hammer or columbia. I'm tired of ball death and the KNUCKELHEADS who say it's poor maintence. SO THERE!!!!YOU!!!!!!!!!KNUCKELHEADS!!!!!!!!!!!! don

Lanemasters/Legends.  They use the best resins available, and on most of their balls there's no filler - coverstock all the way to the core.  Their balls never die.  They're not the strongest balls on the market and they don't have the super hi-tech cores, but I believe they are the best balls.  --  JohnP

Another vote for Brunswick's PK18. Very durable, tunes easily.
Visionary also gets a vote from me. I have been using 2 balls frequently for some time, and the hardly track out or lose gripping power. IMHO Not the most aggressive stuff, but tough and value for money if you buy balls with a long-term perspective.

Brunswick Activator covers were always my favourite, but I've found something better.  900Global "Soakers"!  Even their non-soaker coverstocks seem to be extremely durable.

Brunswick covers no question, Storms are not bad but I don't think they are quite as tough as Brunswicks. I have heard L/LM covers are good, but have no experience with them.
