That would be the "Storms go long and snap hard" stereotype, I guess.

If these guys were all using the Total NV, you can guess the type of threads you would be seeing.

That will never happen. Anyone that knows anything about bowling knows that Ebonite gets owned by Storm anyday anytime anyplace. Besides we all know the Total NV is Totally OVERRATED.

The Vertigo is the best ball Storm ever made. Find one if you can.

Nah I am sure it is a good ball just like every other bowling ball. The thing is I think more people use Ebonite, so there is more user-generated hype behind each release. More people to pop in and say: This is the best ball ever. Period. End of discussion.
A lot of the bowlers in my league I see tend to copy each other. I don't know if it is the same everywhere else... This word of mouth helps them out a lot.
Best ball ever? Period? End of discussion? Well I guess I have to buy that! Oh crap, I still have to know how to bowl?

Ebonite and Hammer had the best first half, it seems the tide might be changing.
Brunswick absolutely dominated a few years back.
It tends to go in cycles and I believe right now Storm are on top.

Not that these guys make many mistakes but that extra board of room really loosens up their arm swing.

Wow. Keep drinking the Kool-Aid guys! Imagine what would have happened if 4 out of 5 bowlers on the show were using the Total NV. These guys heads would have probably exploded. Now when it is Storm they will see it as the bowler, not the ball. Oh ok. That's pretty convenient.
In reality it is a combination of matching your equipment to your style and what you are bowling on.

I disagree. At the PBA level, equipment is that 1-2% extra that puts people at the top. Everyone in the PBA is very good. It then comes down to their equipment.

I'm gonna disagree, as well.
Since each professional bowler fails to hit the pocket an average of 10-15% of the time, it's the bowler that executes their best shot and limits the mistakes that they make. Since most of the bowlers on tour have SOME level of staff influencing their ball selections, it's up to them to complete the task at hand. If you're throwing the "correct" ball like crap, you're gonna be a bottom feeder.
