Inverted....you have been around bowling enough to know that all ball manufacturers pay incentives for using their products when you make the TV show.
Just a hypothetical situation...
Suppose Joe Bowler decides he wants to get serious and start bowling on tour. He knows the following facts:
Storm will pay $5,000 for using their balls on TV (again, a facetious number), Ebonite will offer $2,000 for using any of their brands, Brunswick $4,000, RotoGrip $2,000 and Lane 1 $500.
Now on top of that the companies will double that price if you WIN with their ball.
Which ball company are you going to spend more effort on trying to match up with? It's just plain economics...you go where the money is. $5,000 vs $500 is a pretty simple choice.
