Best quality control (Every ball checked before it leaves the plant)
Best customer service
Not a "ball of the month" type of manufacturer.

Post by: BrunsMike on July 23, 2007, 10:37:50 PM: Brunswick; because their equipment seems to roll up faster then most others. With my style cranker with not a lot side roll, early rolling equipment works in my favor and this is Brunswick. Any other brand ive used does not seem to hook untill its right at the pins.

Best hitting ball is Hammer IMO

There are no bad companies, just bad match-ups.

no! seriously... imho every bowling ball is good in some way (even that darn circle rio that cracked two times...)

So it is not the question what bowling ball conmpany is best but what you want and what fits your style best and then it also comes down to what drilling is best for what you want...

It is a queation of matching up a lot of things...

Cutting it down to the company is just too simple to work....

If you could only bowl with one company, who would you choose and why?

I've tried quite a few balls from different companies lately and have found ones that I match up to in most of them. I can't say that I have found a 'bad' company. But, the only company I have tried many balls from is Visionary, so I will choose them over the others. Excellent quality control and customer service. Accurate descriptions - they will let you know up-front if a ball is for a specific niche.

Post by: strikestriketapped on July 24, 2007, 01:51:54 AM: If I could choose a company, it would be Storm. I'm sure other companies would work well, but Storm works well for me so therefore I have no desire to try other companies. As long as Storm puts out new balls, then I am not curious to try new stuff of other companies.

Post by: Kinalyx on July 24, 2007, 12:00:23 PM: Legends/Lanemasters

For me its about the consistancy ive seen, as well as the fact that they use 11lbs of grade A resin in every ball. No filler = MUCH less ball death.

They r also the only company i know of that makes their stuff by hand(according to a source)

Post by: DukeHarding on July 24, 2007, 02:39:40 PM: It would be a toss up between:

1st choice: Lanemaster/Legends
2nd choice: Hammer
3rd choice: Storm
4th choice: Lane #1
5th choice: Brunswick

I liked Ebonite back in the "8 Ball" days.
I sold a lot of TNVs, and One series balls last year, along with Hammer balls.

Post by: joeschmoe on July 24, 2007, 02:49:29 PM: As long as money is no object,I'd have to say Legends/Lanemasters for the amount of resin they use with no filler and they're Kosher for Passover

Title: Re: Who makes the best bowling balls
Post by: jd1319 on July 24, 2007, 11:50:57 PM: best ball for an individual can be much different than highest quality ball. Lanemasters probably makes the highest quality ball since they don't use fillers, and only the finest ingredients. However, that doesn't mean they are the best balls on the lane, although I personally believe they are.
