Post by: 2handedrook12 on March 07, 2013, 03:52:27 PM
For me it's been the hy-road, wrecker, tropical heat, nano, sync, and the iq TOUR pearl.

I seem to be one of the few throwing a Hy-Road. Everyone one else is using the current flavor of the month.

At my place, it's mostly the Hy-Road, Frantic, IQ Tour Pearl, Marvel Pearl, Defiant, Defiant Edge, VG Nano solid, and the Lucid.  A couple of people still throw the Virtual Energy and the Rogue Cell too.

The league I bowl in the majority of the bowlers are using equipment between 10-15 years old. There's only a handful that are using newer gear. There's about 4 of us who use newer gear, 2 are using DV8 and me and another guy are using newer storm balls.

Alot of storm but it's older stuff, Erasers, Diablo, Thunder Roads, and several from the X-Factor line.

The 2 that are using the new stuff, I've been using the IQTP, Marvel Pearl and Victory Road just about every week. The other guy has been using the Vivid, Lucid, and Sync.

A lot of Nano's (both solid and pearl) and frantics. Not a single Hy-Road used in my 14 team league and pretty sure not a single one ever sold in my house. I also believe I have the only only Crossroad. Multiple times I have suggested either for people but know one wants to listen  >:(. Noboby wants to hear that they don't really need the monster balls on thirty plus (maybe forty plus) year old wooden lanes.

IQ Tour Pearl (Gold) has to be the largest selling Storm/RotoGrip ball selling nationally on house shot rec league bowlers by a long shot.  Yes/no?

I see more of them than any other ball locally.

I am a little surprised that so many are still seeing a lot of Frantics.  They were somewhat big in my area when they first came out but then seemed to quickly fade away.  I tend to think this happened because the ball is so touchy and condition specific.

Same thing around here too, Hyroad, Frantic and IQ Tour Pearl by a large margin.

See a few Nano's, VR Pearl, Crossroad and even a few Virtual Gravity's still too. While I use a Hyroad some my main ball is still a Marvel Pearl. Think I've only seen one other person use the MP in my area.
