MO-RICH (Notice the word rich in there)
LANE 1: Their Logo is a Diamond....what do you expect.
Brunswick Technology Ventures: The long name justifies the high price.
Who do you feel is most reasonable and unreasonable in way of $$$$ spent

I don't think you can really compete with Visonary prices. Their Gargoyle line is super versatile and virtually inexpensive to boot. You can purchase both balls for less than the price of most high end equipment.

Wow, that's outrageously high for a V2. An Apex must be $250 or more, no? Or are they charging top-of-the-line prices for the Vortex balls?
I'm too poor (cheap?
) to buy new balls, so it really doesn't matter to me.--------------------

Coming from an ex-hammerhead and now back again hammerhead, I agree with you totally on the Blade and Diesel series. I have a Blade reactive and have a Sling Blade coming and recently drilled up a Turbo Diesel and I love that ball.
I have not tried the Vicious series enought to comment. I also know user g_thing loves the Blades and Hammers as well. I know because he made me see the light and come back home to be the Hammerhead that I am once again!!
Remember, Nothing hits like a Hammer!!

Reasonable...
Columbia - Messenger Series...WOW/Wicked/Wild......excellent
Track - Hex Series, Voodoo, Thrash, Mojo.....excellent...
Unreasonable..
Lane 1..........you have got to be kidding me...do they cook and clean and do my laundry for those prices???...
Only my humble opinion....

Ball rolled down lane.....hooked a bit...hit pins.....and left some sometimes and left none other times....didn't break pins apart...didn't leave skid marks on the lane....didn't cook me dinner or do my laundry....just did what bowling balls tend to do..........for almost a 100 bucks more than my most expensive piece of equipment.
To me...not worth the added cost........but that is just me.....

I find that AZO and Visionary BREAK pins while all my old Lane 1 equipment struggled to carry the back row. Those manufacturers bowling balls HIT so HARD that carry isn't even suspect.
Many claim that 16# balls don't carry well because of their structure, I say go out and buy the right 16# ball.

Columbia:Wicked and Wow along with the Game series
Dynothane:Vendetta series
Roto-Grip:Silver Streak line
Storm:Eraser series
Brunswick:Monster line
Track:Hex line
Ebonite:Cat line
Visionary:Gryphon series
The bottom line is with the exception of Morich and Lane 1 a patient bowler can get the best of any manufacturer at reduced prices if they are willing to wait for the reincarnations that are sure to follow.
