if you had to name
« on: September 22, 2008, 01:53:09 AM »
If you had to name 3 ball companies that are the most popular in your area, what would they be? I would have to say for me: 1. Ebonite
                                           2. Hammer
                                           3. Columbia
                                           New York

1... Hammer, because of the pro staffer around here only sells it out of his shop
2... Ebonite, because me and my dad push it out of his pro shop more than any other company
3... Strom, another proshop around here has a guy pushing there stuff

Hammer is about all you see around here...

number two would be ebonite I guess, but even then you still don't see very many..

I'll agree with this.  Hammer's really taken off over the past couple years around here.  Track's starting to gain in popularity in Louisville as well.

Mostly Hammer, Storm, and some Ebonite or Brunswick.
Occasionally I'll see a Lane #1 or MoRich. Haven't seen a Visionary, 900 Global, or Roto ball yet in anyone's hands locally.

I mostly bowl on Toledo's south side.
