In your experiences are some ball companies known to have certain reactions? For example: Roto Grip-Backend
             Brunswick-Early Roll
What are your experiences with this? Does one company seem to go longer?

                               Thanks,

Did you know that you can't see pigs in a windstorm?

yes and know. Storm tends to use weight blocks which favor a skid/flip reaction, but it's in the layout. As for Brunswick, early roll is in the layout. I don't know that I would say that of Big B's (or any manufacture's)equipment. Any equipment can be layed out for early roll, and Brunswick balls can be layed out for length and backend, too. Each ball across the spectrum has core and cover combinations that are designed to react a certain way on a given condition with an appropriate layout. Change the layout, tweak the cover, or play it on an "unintended" condition and you will get totally different reactionds.
