OK guys,  here's a fun topic to discuss..  As most of us known as seen on the pba tour,  Storm has been the top dog of the list as the best selling/popular company for the last half dozen years,  but as we have seen the last few years,  thees are companies that have caught the bowling world by storm ( Motiv, radical Dv8, to name a few)

If you guys had to pick the top 3 companies to build a arsenal with,  what 3 would they be and why?
My 3 would be...

1- Storm
2-Motiv
3-Radical

No love for Ebonite?

No love for Ebonite?

NO! Simply put, the stuff isn't good, contrary to what that other dude may say about them selling the most balls on the planet, id certainly hope so with 4 different brands under their umbrella.

Thanks for the replies guys,  after careful consideration,  my top companies are as follows....


Storm
Motiv
Dv8
Roto grip       

With these 4 companies, there's NEVER A NEED to even SNIFF considering another ball company.

Sorry Northface 28, not poppycock. I see bowlers using a lot of different company's equipment, but Gizmo is right Motiv has a variety of stuff that just plain gets the job done. Storm has great equipment but the boys in Michigan are now holding the hammer!

totally agree, the storm/roto equipment just wasnt right for me
it certainly could have been layout and/or surfaces
i have worked on my fundamentals alot in the past few years and the EBI lineup has just clicked for me.
not all of them match up, some are much better than others, but i will stay with them and promote them because of my personal successes.
I would bet any of us can say this about just about any manufacturer
So the Storm guys are winning lately on TV, that doesn't mean diddly to me or you in terms of performance at our home center

Stuff isn't good? "It ain't the car, it's the driver."

USBC Queen Diana Z. became Queen using a Ebonite Cyclone... her opponent was using an IQ Tour Pearl... Diana Z. also won the Collegiate Women's Singles using a Pivot Point going 289-290 in semi-final and final matches...

When people bash others, it is just so absurd. 

1) Storm (that smell good/can't go wrong with company)
2) EBI (the whole family)
3) Lane #1 (Diamond Core Technology is pretty dam cool)


All in all, I believe each manufacturer makes legit stuff. Weight ball with core, how hard is it to make?
