For my Monday league (high friction synthetics) I had been throwing 2 AMF pieces (Cbra se & Nighthawk Oearl drilled weak). However I just drilled a QZ2 Blur snd a Recon (silver) to replace them. I have drilled 6 additional balls in the last 3 week in preperation for my return to bowling. The QZ#& Recon for Mondays, A Thrash Frenzy & Venom Toxin for Friday Morning a 2 Sigma Hybrids for Tournaments. I also just picked up a 3rd Primal Scream which I will drill 5.5x45x35 and polish
    MY GOD STORM1,,, 23 balls in your arsenal!!! That to me,,,,,,, would be like dying and going to heaven!! Amen!!

    One of the reason for having si many is that this area is primarily Roto grip, Being in the shop I prefer to tell them this is what the ball does vs this is what they say it does, As a result of the success I have had throwing their equipment It has helped sales in the sho.I had been throwing 900Global/AMF untill about a year and a half ago.I was impredded with the first 3 I drilled and progressed from there. In most cases I will sell a ball when I drill something new. Most balls have less than 30 games when I sell them. In the case of my Motiv stuff I have 3 that I have thrown for 100+ each with no loss in reaction. They are still at OOB surface and have always been cleaned., no deoiling or resurface
    Still love the game but had to quit because of my left leg amptation

    Motiv is rapidly growing in popularity in this area.

    And I have to admit they do make some great looking balls (the new Tribal included)

    They also have the advantage of their Logo system looks sharp on every ball.

    My guess is that Storm and Brunswick have bigger marketing budgets than smaller brands like Motiv and Global 900.

    prob because theyre more popular brands and for whatever reason people grow attached to one company so if you put the 2 biggest brands in there more people would enter vs a smaller company

    also id say bruns and storm have more balls to spare for giveaways n such

    Default Storm/Brunswick

    I would say your both correct!! Makes sense! So Brunswick, (and it's sister companies), and Storm are the companies that give a ball a week to bowlingboard.com? Any other bowling ball manufacturing companies donating balls?

    My understanding is that this site is part of bowlingball.com - thus, they are probably the ones giving the balls away. Perhaps the major manufacturers offer them balls at a lower price than the other manufacturers bases on supply and demand.
