Doing my own little research on different bowling manufacturers and would like some opinions on what people are throwing and why.
If you can sign with any company to throw their stuff exclusively, who would you choose and why?

Lanemasters. I wasn't sure I'd find anything I could like more than my Dynothanes but they're just excellent balls.
Plus, in a year, when my contract expired and they started wondering just what it was that they got out of my sponsorship, I'd have a closetful of bowling balls that will last darn near forever.

I'm rolling a big variety right now, with brunswick, ebonite, hammer, columbia, storm in the bag.
If I had to choose, probably storm, ebonite or hammer, of those probably ebonite swings it for me.

Unless you get a real contract with money involved why sign with just one company??? I know a few ball staffers most are good to great players but they foot there own bill to every tournament, i know of few professional amateur's that get paid dental believe it or not and health insurance for there whole families.
There are a few different level's of sponsorship that unless it is worth X amout of dollar's a year, it is foolish to go down with the ship per say in tournament.
Of course if i really had someone say here's 4k a year for free, i guess i would take the money also through free stuff.

I currently throw Ebonite, Track, and Hammer and will soon be exclusively Ebonite. I might try some Storm stuff soon before I make my decision but so far Ebonite rolls the best for my game.
I thinking throwing one company's equipment is beneficial for the simple reason that each company has an overall design philosophy which is reflected in their entire line of balls. I find that sticking with one company's equipment would allows me to be able to make much faster ball change adjustments because the basic roll of the balls look pretty much the same.
