Elite bowling balls are great.
Just so you know, I do not work for Elite or Bowlersparadise, nor have I thrown everything they have produced, but from what I have thrown, I am very impressed. Started using Elite equipment about 6 months ago due to a fraternity brother of mine being a distributor for them, and then sharing information on the equipment with me. He is a very good bowler and uses both Elite and Hammer equipment.
I also use Storm and Rotogrip balls, but I currently am using the Elite Orion (Heavy to Heavy-Med Oil), Elite Insanity (Heavy to Heavy-med oil), and Yellow Jacket Attack (Med - Light Oil). I am very pleased with all three balls as they totally compliment my game on various oil patterns, playing multiple lines/angles. I don't currently own a Rev Fugitive (although I have experienced it), but will be getting one shortly. Currently, you can buy one for about $90 bucks.
The pricing stigma that was previously placed on Elite is no longer the case. They came down to earth some time ago, and the pricing on all of their equipment is the same, if not better, than all the other ball companies out there. I would tell you to buy the ball, drill it up, and see for yourself. As I mentioned above, the next two balls that I will be getting are the Rev Fugitive, and probably the Bowlersparadise Draco (which is a bit more aggressive version of the Elite Orion).
