My favorite is the Brunswick Fanatic SS - because I won one here!

I don't know, but I think Urethane balls have probably had the most attention paid to them this year and have peaked the curiosity of many players.

So I think there might might be a upsurge in Urethane sales coming in 2018.

I know I can't wait to see what the upcoming Pyramid Urethane is like.

Probably not this years ball but I bought mine this year. It was a Storm Match. Polish it and it is a monster for a rating of 175 or so.
I like urethane but the carry just isn't there with the amount of oil used today. Pitch Black is my 10 pin ball and if sanded up a little would work on burnt lanes.

For me, the Brunswick True Nirvana it's been a very good ball for me but I just picked up a Radical Katana and I LOVE this ball. I'm about a 185+ average and used it twice so far, 653 and a 660 series. I should have had my first 700 series but my spare game failed me that day.

My DV8 Pitbull killed it for this year, particularly during the end of last season. Can always go back to it no matter what.

Roto Grip No Rules Pearl.

Best ball I threw in 2017 was hands down my Rotogrip Hot Cell. Urethane packed with the nucleus core is amazing.

Best Ball I threw in 2017. The DV8 Creed.

I'm throwing the Radical Katana right now. Being a slightly speed dominant bowler, it falls into my wheelhouse. So far I'm liking it. It reminds me of one of my all time favorite balls, the Ebonite Grey Wolf.
