Best prices I've seen is at Buddiesproshop.com. However, bowlingball.com is right there within a dollar or two with shipping. My experience with Buddies has been first rate. Great customer service and fast delivery.

Ball wise, I think Ebonite V2's and Hammer Blades are the best bang for the buck; perhaps the AMF Titan. One step up is Hammer Diesel line. From there, the Infernos are great.

Ok, my bad for not being clear. I am asking from a ball company perspective (not online or local pro shops..) who has some of the better equipment out there for less money. I know everyone has the mid-priced ball line up, but from what you have seen, who has the better prices ball comapany wise? Does this help explain my question
a little better?

When you've moved up, moved back, adjusted left and right, cupped, flattened out, have thrown everyting in your arsenal, and the pins still don't cooperate, just say, "Aw to HELL with it!", and throw the ball!

Now it's a matter of personal choice although I'd probably say Brunswick with the Inferno line overall. I throw and like Hammer, but the Infernos are great indeed.

WHAT YOU'RE LEARNING I'M TRYING TO FORGET.

Nobody said Columbia huh? Thanks for the help guys it means a lot. I feel I can throw anything, but I'm trying to figure out what'd best compliment my LT-48 gold if I didn't go with Big-B. Thanks again.

You can't beat Ebonite and Hammer's mid-price offerings.  Even though the price of the V2 series has gone up due to it's popularity, the Blades, Showtimes, Big Time, Game Time, Primetime Series, Element Series, Tornado Series can't be beat in terms of covering the spectrum of all conditions and adapting to all styles.
