My best guess is probably a constellation award like a 900 shirt or something.
My question is: Now what do they do?
My best guess is probably a constellation award like a 900 shirt or something.

Brunswick Brute Strength, Brunswick Mastermind Genius, DV8 Endless Nightmare, DV8 Diva, DV8 Diva Pearl, DV8 Marauder Mutiny, & Brunswick White Viz-A-Ball spare ball

j doubt he gets anything other then winning the tournament.

That is actually true. Although, it's fair to note that all 900s were bowled in the last 2 decades and Storm is far and away the highest selling bowling ball manufacturer and has been for much of that time. Had the bowling conditions been what they are now...I think Brunswick would be close as would Hammer.
But, gotta admit...it's a VERY nice marketing tool for Storm and a record that is not even close to being beat. I think Storm has 9 and the next closest is Hammer with 5. Even if you add up all of the Big 4 that are owned by Ebonite International (Ebonite, Track, Hammer, Columbia) they only have 8 (9 if you count the first disputed one). But then if you add RotoGrip to Storm's total that gives you 11.
List:
Storm: 9
Hammer: 5
Brunswick: 3
AMF300: 2
RotoGrip: 2
Columbia: 1
Ebonite: 1
Track: 1
900 Global: 1
Surprises:
Surprised that Columbia only had 1 (2 if you count the disputed one). Columbia may not be very popular anymore, but they and Brunswick ran the show for a long, long time. Surprised that AMF300 had 2. I mean, most casual bowlers probably don't even know the AMF brand name when it comes to bowling balls. I can name most of the new releases for every company on the list...but would have to check the web just to find out if AMF actually still makes bowling balls at all.
And glad to see the "Big Rig Diesel" on the list. A very close relation to the first ball to EVER make Aslan's coveted "Bowling Ball Wish List"...the Hammer Big Block Diesel. Was never (yet) able to find one undrilled nor one slightly used for a decent price...but...still on the list. Probably gonna have to hope I stumble across one at a garage sale though.
I gotta think DV8 and Motiv are chomping at the bit for the day they make the list. Two big brands nowadays...but nothing yet.

Smokey this is not 'Nam', this is bowling. There are rules. Proud two-time winner of a bowlingboards.com weekly ball give-away!
We can't forget about the biggest travesty in the history of bowling. The fact that hall of famer glenn allison shot a 900 in league july 1982 and was never and still not sanctioned. This was on a second shift league with a columbia yellow dot.
They should just give him the bowling center and a lifetime supply of balls and drillings.WHAT A SHIRT... he deserves a NEW CAR!! LOL a 900 is HUGE!! Really sad that it was non sanctioned,,,, (
Yeah, I was gonna say, not such a big surprise since Storm has the lion's share of balls out there. I bet Motiv will be getting some numbers in short order.That is actually true.

Oh yeah. Like Amos Gordon that rolled 900 with his Asylum. That's an example right there. And followed it with 875.
