track xception 5.0
hammer hawg


particle solid & epoxy

storm x-factor trifecta
morich seek & destroy
track rule gp2

once again brunswick bowling balls come out on top claiming 7 out of the 10 categories with 9 balls making the list all together. for those of us who throw brunswick equipment this comes as no surprise---it's also no surprise that these results are very similar year after year. here's hoping brunswick outdoes itself again this coming year.

Brunswick is just like Wal-Mart is all, if they're everywhere you're bound to shop there at some point!    

None of these ranking really surprise me, nor do I disagree with any really, except maybe the Smokin ranking.  I'm not a big fan of that ball.

No surprises. if the majority of people throw brunswick (which i believe they do), they are going to get the most votes...

Consider the following:

AMF - 0
Columbia - 1
D/T - 0
Hammer - 1
Lane #1 - 0
Legends/Lane Master - 0
MoRich - 1

All of those brands ADDED TOGETHER are still less than the numbers achieved by Brunswick, Ebonite, Roto, Storm, and Track individually.

I like Big B but am a little bit bummed out that Morich only got one  I guess thats what happens when you release one ball every three months.  The Awesome Flip should be up there next year if people don't forget about it.

Actually, not to brag.....well,okay, I'll brag. Of the 10 categories that were voted on Brunswick was #1 in 7 of them....the only categories that Brunswick had a ball in for last year.  I see it like this, 7 for 7 at #1. I know it's only 1000 votes, but odds would say we're doing pretty good. We'll try to make sure we wow y'all this summer.

Thanks Nation. Many of you guys and gals on here are the reason we're doing so well these days. Keep spreading the word, we won't make liars of ya.

I think the vapor zone should have received the most versatile ball of the year.

I think it's interesting how many of the balls on the list have been discontinued this year. The Roto Grip Oracle Vision, Track Xception 5.0, Storm X-factor Trifecta, Track Rule GP2 (I think...could be wrong on that one),among others. Just a point to ponder.
