If you had a choice...
« on: August 30, 2006, 08:23:52 AM »
To begin with I throw basically all Dyno-Thane.  The situation that I may be in shortly is the opportunity to get VERY cheap equipment because of collegiate bowling.  I'm sure others on here know what I'm talking about.  My coach has said that we would get better deals from the larger companies.  The 2 he deals with all the time are Columbia and Ebonite.  If you had to choose between the 2, which one would you go for and for what reason?

I would say columbia.  Besides Columbia owns Dynothane so basically it would be the same company making your equipment.

Wulf, if you are going to give up some of your D/T stuff, keep me in mind then.
I have never used Ebonite but the Columbia equipment that I have used I really liked.

JVan19,
   Gonna take me finding something to replace what I have and hit/ carry better before I get rid of any of my Dyno balls.  Still the best I've thrown personally.  Just shouldnt have let my coach try a pitch change on the thumb.  Now having to wait while he gets them all back to normal.  Will keep you in mind if something changes though.

Hmm, out of the two I would definitely go Columbia.  They have a great selection to choose from and they are all solid.

Between the two, I'd have to go Ebonite because of my personal experiences with staff and customer service. I have nothing against Columbia, especially since they're made in my home town. However, they're not very creative with cores and covers versus other companies. Again, this isn't a shot against Columbia.

Ebonite if that is the only 2 choices I would have. However there are better choices than these two companies.
