    Default WHO MAKES THE BEST DAMN BALL in the WORLD



    I know their have been polls in the past, but as of RIGHT NOW, What BALL, and BRAND is Kicking ASK for YOU!!

    I would have to say STORM, due to my recent 300 games.... and 780 series with the plugged, and redrilled V.G. nanno.

    As far as model of storm, its sort of strange. Same house, same oil THS, but two different balls,

    The IQ pearl symmetrical ball

    The Virtual Gravity nano, asymmetrical ball.


    I have some one Brunswick, several DV8's, one motiv, but never thrown any other brands!

    I have had some great games with all the above brands, but so far, my BEST have BEEN with STORM! The sweet smell of success!! Butter Scotch, and chocolate!!

    Well, currently I have to say Brunswick for me, I have no 300s or 800 ever, but I have had my best game and series with my Aura (org)

    267 and 695

    Also my blue/silver hammer taboo has been a great performer, I also have the VG nano pearl but do not throw it often.

    You might as well ask who makes the better truck Ford or Chevy?? (obviously Chevy...)

    My arsenal includes Storm, DV8, and Brunswick. For me personally the Storm IQ Tour Pearl is my favorite ball to throw. When conditions allow for that ball I have been scoring very well with it and just love the reaction.

    Trying to be as objective as possible I would say Storm and Brunswick are tied at the top IMHO.

    Answer is, there isn't a best ball.

    Saying one ball is better than another is all opinion. Don't think there will ever be a legitimately regarded "Best" ball. If that were the case, everyone would have it an be throwing 300's with it.

    It's all subjective. Balls are tools, and they're only ever as good as the hand of the guy throwing them. The layout, conditions, his release and choice when to use them matters much more than the ball itself.

    Even a lowly Slingshot is the best ball on the right conditions...and will be a vastly better choice than a hook-monster, latest-greatest low-RG whatever.

    Whatever ball you bought that disappointed you? Someone just threw a 300 with it.

    Whatever ball you think is the cat's behind? It's not right for someone.
