In today's world everyone wants in on the latest & greatest trends. It's no different in the sport of bowling. Everyone flocks to the big name brands without ever giving the little guy a chance. To those people, let me ask these few questions.
1. Wasn't every company at one time a new and unproven product until tested by the bowlers?
2. Aren't all balls tested by the same standards and regulations?
3. Doesn't everyone wanna be at the forefront of change and evolution, especially for the betterment of what they love?
If you answered Yes to all these questions I only ask what is holding you and others back from trying these 4 great brands from a relatively unknown company in
California Bowling LLC. Most will say they've never heard of them before. Well now you have. A revitalization in the ball industry needs to happen now, especially with the changes coming in the next few years, and this is where it starts.
Please comment on why you or others won't give these smaller brands the opportunity and attention to impress you that they deserve. Thank you.

Tried them and don't care for the current products.

Lane Masters/Legends once made fantastic equipment, but then started taking shortcuts. Lord Field seems to make a decent product line, but again, BORING.

I completely understand your point, but let me ask you this. Have you ever purchased a ball and not got what you expected? The feedback and "eye test" meant nothing. Almost any ball can be manipulated by drilling or surface change to tailor someone's game. The ball is not suppose to make the bowler regardless of conditions. The bowler still has to make the ball look good as well. Just some food for thought my friend. Thank you for your response.

Exactly my point SVstar. Have you tried any Swag equipment, probably not I'm guessing.
You can't say you think it's stupid because of the name without trying it. The name has nothing to do with performance.

Just remember all balls are made and certified the same way my friend. Some just have bigger factories and operations.

I'm another that had a lot of older Legends/Lanemasters equipment and I'll admit that I haven't tried newer releases. That basically has to do with my satisfaction with what I have now and the lack of desire to part with my money for equipment that may or may not be better than what I current have.

I'm already throwing the best stuff there is. Duh.

SVstar. The majority of bowlers in today's world are between the ages of 7 and 44. I think it fits into that demographic just fine in my opinion.
