I've used about all the major brands at one or another. Now I've been staying with Roto-Grip.

DV8. Great performance combined with good pricing. Their entry level ball, The Misfit, hooks at least as must as my Victory Road and was 30% less money.

I've been a Storm/Roto guy since about 2000. They have the most complete line of bowling balls out of all companies, designed to compliment one another and that's what I like. The Thunder and Master lines are the best in bowling.

Roto Grip. It's been my favorite stuff as a kid and my first 300 / 800 ball was a Roto Grip. What's not to enjoy? After all, the ball I used was 5 years old. :)

I have a mixture of a little bit of everything in my bowling ball bag now lets see I have
DV8 Hellraiser,
Ebonite Evolve, the best all around ball I have
Rotogrip Riot,
Brunswick TZone, spare ball
in the locker I have
Rotogrip Nomad Pearl
Nexus f(P+F)
In the spare bedroom that I converted into a retired ball room I have
just about every ball from every company stored in there way to many
to try and list here but I'll try to mention a few of them I have if I can
remember them correctly that is.
Columbia
Track
Ebonite,
Nu-Line X-Calibur
Falcon Technoliges
etc. etc. etc.

I would say in terms of overall (not me) performance, Storm/Roto Grip have to have the upperhand.
For me, I have a Roto Grip Mutant Cell that I shot my first 300 ever with so I'm a big fan of the brand. I have enjoyed my Brunswick Diamondback as a ball to follow up my Roto Grip as well. I have a Jet Altitude i'm getting drilled up tonight. Not sure you can really say one brand is better than the other due to it all just depends on each individual person.

Wow, I remember Nu-Line. Not going to lie, they had a good run, but was absolute crap after that.

As of right now, I only have my Lanebreaker, so I guess you could say ebonite is my favorite. I do have a '95 hammer that has been long since retired, but it was awesome.

For some reason, I never matched up to Brunswick equipment. I'm pretty much Storm, Rotogrip, and LaneMasters.
For the longest lasting coverstock, I would choose Lanemasters. I have 3 LM balls with over 300 games each, and they still react like new.

Storm/Roto Grip is dominating the PBA tournaments, and the ball of the year awards. The Storm Hy-Road may very well be the best bowling ball ever made. Ebonite needs 4 companies to even attempt to compete with Storm and Roto Grip, and they are still second place. I loved Storm before I was on their staff, and for the last few years, I am just honored to be part of the best bowling ball company in the world!

I like Storm mainly because that's all I know. I recently came into ownership of a Brunswick Nexus f(P+F) and like it so far, but will purchase a Storm ball next. I want the Frantic, just waiting on the right financial opportunity.

Hmmmmm.............. I just wonder why Storm is dominating the PBA tournaments maybe because they have some or most all of
the best bowlers on the planet maybe LOL!!! When you get bowlers like Jason Belmonte , Norm Duke, Rhino Page, Osku Palermaa,
Pete Weber just to mention a few of them on staff then how can you not be dominating the PBA tournaments. ;)

STORM hands down. in my late teens I threw everything from track, ebonite, brunswick & c300. This last year I bought all storm stuff and have never bowled better. There whole vision is great.
