Post by: DON DRAPER on May 10, 2006, 08:55:10 AM: the april issue of bowling this month shows the results of the readers choice awards for bowling balls that came out in 2005. over 1,000 votes were received, the most to date. here are the results:

high performance balls

particle pearl

roto grip oracle vision
track xception 5.0
hammer hawg

particle solid & epoxy

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

reactive pearl

reactive solid

ebonite the one
columbia 300 action
roto grip epic

mid-priced balls

roto grip rs-p
ebonite big time pearl

brunswick absolute inferno
ebonite the one
storm paradigm

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.

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.

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.

Comments?

Post by: BrunsBob on May 12, 2006, 10:36:25 PM: 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.

Post by: cnimsk on May 13, 2006, 01:23:32 PM: 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.
