Differences in Ball Manufacturers?
« on: July 02, 2007, 11:39:55 AM »
What would you guys think the major differences between the various ball manufacturers are? Storm, Ebonite/Hammer, Roto-Grip, Lane Master, Brunswick, etc.  I know that they all have different balls for specific conditions, but overall I know that each company has its notorious characteristics. For example....Brunswick are said to have good overall mid lane roll, where as Ebonite is said to have the best back end...etc. Again...I know every company has all areas (oil/dry/med) pretty well covered, but overall, what do ya think? Thank you.

Between the ones I have used, this is MY generalization.

Storm-Strongest backend stuff out there.  Once the lanes dry, I was going brooklyn.

Brunswick-Smooth stuff.  Very predictable reaction, and overall some tough stuff.  They seem to wear pretty well even when putting a lot of games on them.  

Ebonite: Good combo between brunswick and storm.  Strong backend but clean through the fronts.

Hammer: Not sure yet.  But it decent backend, and a smooth midlane but hits hard.
