all the about the same??

For the most part, yes. For some reason, some people can get the Storm Ice to hook a board or two.

i tried the Columbia 300 WD.. couldn't really hook.. maybe because of the lanes.. i don't know

You need dry lanes to hook a plastic ball. I was on bone dry lanes last week and couldn't keep the Maxim on the right side of the lane. If there is a decent amount of oil, the plastic balls go pretty straight, which is what makes them so good for spare balls.

You can play the 5 board on a fresh THS and still hook plastic albeit speed, rotation and revs do obviously play a very important role.

This is true. I did play up the 5 before I got the Tiger. But on a THS, that is pretty dry. I'm bowling tonight, and I hope there is at least a tiny bit of oil on the lanes.

The difference is that the Brunswick T-Zone is made in Mexico, and Ebonite's and Storm's are made in China. For some reason, Americans can't make plastic bowling balls. All of Ebonite's and Storm's other balls are made in America. All of Brunswicks are made in Mexico. As far as performance, I would say they are all the same. I have seen more chipping while drilling from the Brunwick balls, but nothing to be alarmed about. Truthfully, just pick which one looks the coolest unless you get a sponsor If you look in Storm's new catalog, they have a Brain Storm spare ball coming that is pretty bad ***.

Thank you Dan. I had posted before how I was shocked when I purchased a Storm ball and the box said "Made in China". I was hoping it was just the box that was made there but obviously it had to be my plastic ball.

There can be only one reason the balls are made in other countries like China,,,, CHEAP Labor, more, and more profit!! At what point does a man profit, when there are no people working in his country to purchase his product!! Greed is not Good! (from a movie, but in the movie he states the opposite)! Name it for 100,034, imaginary $$$! And what was the characters name in that movie that made the statement! (
