Since the 1970's I have probably thrown 85 bowling balls. Half of which I received free, or used.

My favorites:
AMF
Columbia 300
Faball
Track
Ebonite
Storm
Roto Grip

Good, but not great: (I probably did not own enough of them)

Brunswick
Visionary

Horrid:

Carmen Salvino Incorporated. He just had to have his own company...they were duds.

Star Trak. Poor quality control. Poor Urethane. Lots of unmarked blem's and second's got into the marketplace. You never knew what was under the label.

I only like Roto, Storm is too jumpy for me, as far as Big B I loved them until they went to Mexico... I had a whole bunch of Ebonite balls die, my Elites are garbage. I like my FABall high rev. The last Columbia 300 I liked was the Ti Messanger. So this is my list:

1. Roto Grip
2. Brunswick
3. Storm
4. FABall
5. Columbia 300
6. Ebonite
7. Elite

Best (for me):
1. Pre-ebo Track
2. Storm
3. Roto Grip
4. Ebonite

Worst (for me):
1. Post-ebo Track(Excluding the Kinetic Energy)

I would prefer to think of each of the companies equipment as having characteristics which when used at the right time can be advantageous. If your locked into one line of balls it would have to be Storm. They have a reaction for every style.

I have only thrown 3 brands enough to really make a conclusion:

Storm: I like it, and I match up well with their generally weaker coverstocks
Roto-Grip: I hated it. I've thrown a few balls by them, and I found them to be very very touchy with my game.
Ebonite: Their stuff seems very consistent. I've thrown these balls least of the three brands, but what I saw have gotten me interested in them. Whatever my next new piece will be, it's going to be an Ebonite ball.
