« on: April 08, 2009, 11:17:03 AM »
Just curious -- list the ball and the city where you bowl.

For me:

Location: Prattville, Ala. (just north of Montgomery)
Most Popular Ball: Hammer Black Widow Pearl by about 2x over second place
Most Popular Company: Ebonite

lol -- You have to be careful, someone might answer the question you asked instead of the one you meant to ask.  In our small house it's hard to pick a favorite since I probably only drill 25 or so top end balls a year.  By manufacturer, it's Ebonite followed by Hammer and if I had to pick a series I'd say the Widows.  --  JohnP

Eglin AFB, FL.  Pro Shop only sells Columbia stuff, so there are quite a few Rivals, Resurgences, and Momentum Swings.  Dimension from Storm may just have the highest total count though.

Man.....is this tough.

Riverdale, MD Silverhill, MD Marlow Hgts, MD

No real dominant ball per se......I've seen an awful lot of VG's, Kinetics, HSP's, and all sorts of Cells(Rogue,Regular, and Pearl)Lots of Psychos as well!
Dimensions have made some noise this season as well.

People are still throwing Widows, and Widow Pearls, along with all sorts of LaneMasters stuff. And I see Momentum Swings, Copperheads, and Avalanches, and Playmakers. Just depends on what condition pops up on the lanes.

The Breaks are starting to make inroads here as well.

Most Popular Company: ?? Hard to tell.

Southern California

Virtuals, Cells, Cell Pearls, Raids (we had a sale), Black Widow Venoms.

Storm/Roto and Hammer are tops with high/mid performance, Ebonite for entry and plastics.

SE Minnesota
I think the most popular ball in
our 7 team league is the black widow
bite.  I think there are three of them.
The widow line is the most popular.
I don't think there are two other people
in the league that throw the same ball.

The self proclaimed hicktown of Michigan, Hudsonville.  Don't see anything dominating during the leagues,  one bowler was a Hammer amateur staff member,  99.9% of the HS bowlers from all 3 HS that bowl at this center have 2-3 year old Tropical Storms.  But I do see plenty of old Track Phenoms, Threats, and Triple Threats and to top that the majority of these are the Bonanza seconds.  A number of old beat up Zones, especially Danger, HPD, HPC, and HPH.  A good number of Blue Urethane Hammers and Burgundy Hammers.  Also a bunch of bowlers do own very beat up and well used Hammer Toxics, I think they bought them cheap just because they like the color.  Basically you get the idea,  oh how the Dutch in this town don't buy new equipment except once in a blue moon.  But they don't need to either, the pin carry and the lane conditions are so easy I can average 225 with an original Black Angle, and most all the higher average bowlers are using extremely oil soaked stuff that most on here would cringe at the sight of how much oil is seeping out the ball.  Now of the house I bowl PBA league, which is in Grand Haven, I see the Cell a lot!

Ames, IA
Virtual Gravity by far. In our 16 team(4 person team) scratch league last night I didn't see a rack that had less than 2 Virtual's on it. I would guess that 1/3rd of the league is throwing them. Every week a couple more seem to show up.

It's been a while since I've seen a single ball that often. Probably not since the Danger Zone came out years ago.
