I've tried a few 900 Global balls and I kinda like them.

I hit post too soon!

I like how cover rating is easy to understand, and Nick has been making great cores for years. I've thought about switching to Motiv (or at least trying some), because I like that they're not as sideways as the newer Storm influenced Global pieces.

I too like brands that are not like my love handles.... that go sideways.

Lane Masters.... but Hammer's Blue is my go to ball for leagues currently.

Roto Grip has been my main brand for about 7 years. I am not a staff member. Since I started using RG my game has vastly improved. I feel that the core / cover combinations match my style of bowling. I can definitely say since using R/G for the most part, other than a couple of Storm balls, that my game has vastly improved!  ;)

Use to be a member of the Storm Nation, but now I am 100% Motiv.  I match up to most of their balls.  The covers absorb very little if any oil, they take cover changes well, the cores/covers are usually well matched, and they rarely ever crack (exception the Tag, but I never owned one).
I have reported in past posts how many Storm/Roto and 900 Global balls I have lost to total cracking.

Used Brunswick for years with a little DV8 and Radical mixed in. Decided to switch. Tried two from Global (black ops,  dream big)  and really liked but not loved them. Then I went to the 4 Ebi brands and stayed.

Personally I've seen nothing different from Brunswick to Global to Ebi brands in terms of performance or reaction.

Pick your favorite logo, or color or whatever excites you about buying a bowling ball. Drill it for your style and the balls intended condition and enjoy.

My favorite is the brand that can provide me the most versatility top to bottom and can kick the corner pins out.

First choice Storm/RG. I like balls that backend and that's their signature.

Motiv---I am using a couple of older pieces which are a good match for my game: the Sigma Sting and Venom Panic. The balls do not jump when they hit friction. Also, Motiv Power Gel Scuff is excellent for a deep clean and for refreshing your coverstock.

Storm/Roto for me.  I essentially consider them one in the same.
