Hi Ryan!
Thanks for asking. There is a night and day difference between the Ebonite, Columbia, Amf and our product. I have not seen the Brunswick yet and will have one shortly. What I will do is give you our facts sheet here:
Bowler's Slide Sock Facts
A. It's not about being slick. The Bowler's Slide Sock is about a natural consistent slide on slick, normal or tacky approaches.
Q: I have used other slide products and they wear out quickly What about Bowler's Slide Sock?
A: No! Under normal usage the Bowlers Slide Sock will last longer. It is not unusual for a Bowler's Slide Sock to last over 6 month's to a year under normal bowling conditions and with proper care. 2 to 3 leagues a week avg.
Q: I wore a hole in a different brand sock and couldn't get another one quickly.
A: If you do manage to wear a hole in a Bowler's Slide Sock that's no problem. The Bowler's Slide Sock is made with a heavy 2 ply bottom. Just turn it inside out and go back to bowling.
Q: I like to buy U.S. made products!
A: All Bowler's Slide Socks are made by hand in Irving Texas USA! ( We have special tooling! ) and a special production facility.
Q: You say I can use this sock on any condition?
A: We will say almost all. We constantly test our product using traveling league conditions, Senior Scratch Bowling events around the Southwest and other parts of the country. We test it on wood and synthetic approaches in all weather conditions. Our testers tell us they NEVER take it off and have found no condition where it does not work, Slick or Tacky! This does not mean there is not a condition that it will not work in, we just have not found one in 5 years. Kansas City, Las Vegas, Chicago, Tucson, Tulsa, Shreveport, San Antonio. Florida, to California, Minnesota to South Texas.
Q: Ok So how does it do it?
A: It is in the design and technology. The 2 ply bottom and construction, along with the materials used allow it to perform in all conditions, Bowler's Slide Sock does not use a cheap flannel-like single ply bottom!
Q: What can I expect when I first use the Bowler's Slide Sock?
A: Normally the Bowler's Slide Sock is very fast when first put on if not scuffed first. We recommend that bowlers scuff the bottom of the sock by rubbing into a carpet surface. This will dull the surface and the sock will quickly dial it's self in.
Q: I've got size 16 shoes and my wife's got size 4 what do we do?
A: Not a problem! Custom sizes can be done by mailing SLSM Designs a tracing of your shoe complete with slide pad. We will make custom sizes and colors if available. There is a small custom charge.
Q: Why do you not accept credit cards directly over the web?
A: Many people just do not trust it. We like to also ask a few questions as to what type of shoe will it be going on and lane conditions our customers are trying to combat. By calling the customer personally it also allows us to describe how to use and care for our product.
Q: My Local Pro Shop has never heard of Bowler's Slide Sock and SLSM Designs.
A: Not unusual. We are a small company that started out by making the Bowler's Slide Sock by request. We started by people asking " Would you make me six or a dozen". All were special order at that time. We received so many orders that eventually it grew into a business with customers all over the country. Located in Texas it is hard to walk in the door of a Pro Shop owner in Buffalo but we would like to. If you are a Pro Shop or you want you local Pro Shop to carry our product let us know. We can make contact.
We are the only company that has a model specifically designed for wide foot print bowling shoes!(Our Premier II) and we own the patent.
Our first customers that we custom made for were the editor and writers of a very famous bowling magazine. Our ad was on the back cover of their 2003 Ball Review Guide!
The big difference is in materials used and the construction of the product. It slides better, it last longer, it's reversible, the materials are of heavier better quality, it comes in 2 main sizes and can be custom ordered to size, and If you are using something else this sock will make you throw the others away.
Simply the finest made slide sock on the planet.
