I'm actually from Hopkinsville, the home of Ebonite's headquarters so alot of people in my town throw EBI, but most I've seen throw Hammer and the other brands. When I joined my first sanctioned league this year, I noticed the brands people throw. My house heavy on Hammer, as the owner throws Hammer, a fair amount of people throw Motiv, a few Storm/RG, a few DV8s. I believe I'm the only person in my league throwing primarily Ebonite, Gamebreaker 2, Mission, Warrior, Blue Turbo Urethane. I originally went to Ebonite because that was the main brand I knew about before I even started bowling. They have good products and I like them.
