Now before you read this, I throw Brunswick (check profile if you care).

Any poll or any type of article about "Best Bowling Ball", is strictly an opinion. It does not mean that it will perform the best for EVERY bowler or even the majority. If you think of how many mid performance balls come out a year, the majority vote to gain "Best Ball" might be 10-20% votes...does that even mean anything?

And as a side note...Why does it matter what company dominated on tour?
Most bowlers do not see those conditions, and tour bowlers (to name a few Tommy Jones, Chris Barnes, Bill O'Neil) can throw ANYTHING during the week of qualifying but once they get on TV they have to throw the company that sponsors them. So just because Barnes throws a Pure Swing on TV doesn't mean he was throwing one all week.
