I've been a Storm guy for about 15 years, almost exclusively, with some Brunswick and older Hammer/Columbia/Ebonite thrown in. I love the way Storm sets up their product line. They are durable and the reaction shapes have always been good for my game. I am now starting to enjoy Motiv equipment as well. They are making some really good stuff.

i love brunswick balls.. :D but some Storm balls do look appealing to me though

[HunterRunsIt]

Hammer/Ebonite/Storm I appreciate and use all three brands!

[JerseyJim]

I use Lanemasters, and Storm equipment.

i started with brunswick to rotogrip and now hammer and really hooked on hammer taboo

[PSBA10]

I started with Brunswick then moved to Storm. Later I found Ebonite reacted much better for my game. Now I use Motiv. For me, the Motiv line is the most consistent, and predictable of any ball I have thrown. I was one of the first the throw Motiv in our area. Now they are the number 1 seller in the pro shop.

Roto Grip/Storm

[gergy22]

Roto Grip/Storm for me, the shot shapes they favor are best for my game. I am higher rev with limited tilt and up the back of the ball so keeping it alive for the back end is sometimes challenging for me. Storm/Roto gives me good length and a sharper backend, some of the other companies roll really early for me. I do throw some other stuff but storm/roto dominates my bag

[Stormed1]

Currently throwing 900Global/AMF primarily or balls poured by them *Seismic,Radikal) and habe started throwing some Motiv

[striker12]

i first started off when i first started bowling with hammer and lane#1 and then i put away my lane#1 and got a track and know im throwing columbia300-track and hammer but only 1 of 3 of my hammer bowling balls

[RyanC]

Currently Throw Track, Brunswick, have 2 Hammers, and a Columbia Spare ball.

I personally don't believe you have to stick to one brand or company to be successful. From what I hear if you consistantly use one brand and are successful you have a better chance for that brands sponsorship. Obviously skill, honor scores, and tournament finishes mean more than a brand you use.

storm for me, loving the vg nano

[TheJourney]

I throw a brunswick and roto grip. I also have a Jet Altitude I'm getting drilled soon. As you can see I'm not a one brand person at this time. If I were to get good enough to be on staff then I'd change my opinion but right now I'm having fun dabbling with different brands as I learn what works and doesn't. Some of my highest scores ever were with a 2nd hand Hammer so I have no particular preference.

[tigerbait6]

I bowl with a Hammer Arson & a Lane #1 gemstone

[travkoiboi]

Storm 4 life

[eugene02]

currently bowling with a Lane 1 MaxXx Curve and Columbia 300 WD BB for Spare ball!

[chrono00]

when looking for my first ball, my friend originally was looking at lane 1 balls. ultimately we decided on the storm virtual energy. I've gotten a frantic since then. so i've bought 2 balls in about 2 years, but both have been storm, so I guess I'm partial to them

[martin]

i love Brunswick balls, seems more durable and i prefer their ball reaction.. i do like Storm balls though, seems like it has more carry..

[americantrotter]

Roto-Grip (3) Storm (1) I started on Brunswick though.

[eugene02]

thinking of shifting to DV8 from lane 1..

[Florida Bowler]

Right now it is all Ebonite. I started with a 12# Brunswick plastic ball when I was 15, then went to a 13# Ebonite Maxim. When I was in my first adult league, I got a 16# Ebonite Tiger and a 16# Maxim, which is what I bowl with today. I like Ebonite, but I am not against trying other brands when the budget allows.

The best available right now DV8. Two Hell Raiser Revenge, Reckless and a Misfit. Also have a Storm Natural Pearl and Ice spare ball. Keep Storm Hy-Road and Victory Road and Track The Rising around for the heck of it. And also use the Brunswick Nexxus that I won from this site. The Nexxus and HRR's are for sport patterns.
