During league last night, we all got into a heated debate on what company would be the best to build an arsenal around. I was intrigued by how many people chimed in so I figured I would post the question on here.

 

This is a totally hypothetical question. Its not whether you should or shouldn't stick with one company.

 

If you were to build an arsenal with one company and one company only, who would you choose?

 

I picked Track only because of the numbering system. 

 

 

I too agree with others who have picked Storm. Though I have the newer guys in my bag (motiv and DV8), I'm still drawn back to Storm. Right now, the Victory Rd. pearl, Heat solid, and Breeze solid match up really well for me and the surface I bowl on.

 

 

I have used Seismic for the past few seasons and have had great sucess, So I would stay with Seismic.

 

For me Storms gears is to strong off the spot and I have never matched with it well, Seismic's product is smoother off the spot yet still angular enough to turn the corner. Seismics gear carries like a dream and has no shortage of hitting power no matter how deep or how many boards you are covering.

For whatever reason , Ebonite has always rolled best for me.

Sometimes you're the dog, and sometimes you're the hydrant.

My vote goes to 900 Global. There are only 3 balls I roll that are not 900 and one of those is AMF. I do have an old original Eraser and a long pin Avalanche that go with me to travel league or events where I know the lanes may be fried. I have built my arsenal from San Antonio and have no regrets. The two mentioned above I owned prior to switching to 15 lb and making the move back to balls made in Texas. I loved Columbia when it was made here but did not have much luck once they moved, so was looking for that fit again. Found it from the plant my old balls were made in.

Roll with 900 Global.

Made in Texas! 

Honestly go with whatever looks best! I know this sounds dumb but over the years you see many greats like walter ray throw alot of different companies and brands. Mika throws ebonite but throw alot of balls from each brand of there line. As long as you have a smooth swing and can make great shots reguardless of the company you can use drilling and surface to get a ball to do what you want. Last year at the cheetah you saw people throwing a taboo on the shorts oil pattern and this year at the mexico city pattern on TV you saw CBD throwing a lower end shooting star.

 

Bottom line every brand has enough stuff from top of the line to bottom of the line where a great player and the right drilling and surface fits could do anything on any pattern they wanted.

 

But if i had to pick a company it would be storm.  if it was one brand it would be Roto Grip
