Holy cow.....just how many different companies does Storm make balls for?!
« on: May 20, 2004, 04:06:44 AM »
Reading up on some of the "lesser" know brands ball line-up like Roto-Grip and Dyna-Thane......come across multiple posts that say Storm manufactures balls for both of these companies! What's the deal with that....how many other companies does Storm produce balls for? And I've got to ask myself a ?.........if Storm makes all these different balls for these different companies, do they reserve the "latest" technology just for the "Storm" brand? Are all the R/G, D/T balls just re-tweaked "older" Storm designs? Are there any other crossover ball companies?(Brunswick/AMF,Ebonite/Track,Lane #1/Faball???

And does that mean that Storm's funky rubberized particles are present in Dyno-Thane and Roto balls, or do they specify their own particle materials?

Dyno-Thane's covers and cores are their own. Storm just puts them together at DT's directions.
DT is independently owned by Phil Cardinale.

Storm owns Roto-Grip, but think of RG as Track to Storm's Columbia.

AMF's stuff is being made by Columbia.  I recently got some news sheets from them from the same address as Track and Columbia.
