Just looking for some opinions. If you could only bowl with one company, who would you choose and why?

Morich - both because I really like their stuff, and because I want to keep the string of different companies going.

Visionary

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

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.

Everyone has there opinions but i have used alot of companies.
Best hitting ball is Hammer IMO
Best Rolling ball is Storm IMO

These are my 2 favorite companies. Both companies have good quality products that last long and keep on hitting after a good amont of games

MEZZ,

It should be OBVIOUS which one is My choice, and it is the best one that you do not like.

Every company has a ball that someone will match up to or not.

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

Ebonite for me, though Visionary comes with a close second.

BASF and Bayer



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....
