In order to hone any skill and become the best, it helps to use the best tools for the job. Whether playing a musical instrument, painting a house, or in this case, bowling, it certainly does not hurt to have the optimal equipment. For bowling, that means brands such as Hammer, Brunswick, Storm and Columbia. These four bowling companies produce some of the best bowling balls available.

Hammer is an Ebonite International brand. This privately owned company based in Kentucky serves bowling products both state side and internationally. The company offers four different styles of bowling balls to choose from: No Mercy, Black Widow, Raw Hammer and Vibe. They each feature either the new Max-Length Pearl Reactive coverstock or the Violent Response Reactive coverstock. Each style has different specs suited to fit different needs. On the Bowling.com website, they are listed between $75-$134. It is important to protect bowling balls, so this company also has bowling ball bags for $20-$155.

The most recognized name in bowling may be Brunswick. They are internationally renowned and have a strong link to the birth of the game. The founder standardized the rules of the game and formed the first American Bowling Congress. The company went on to open the first bowling center in Moscow, Russia. Their products vary according to performance and style. These feature limited edition graphics, retro cores, coverstock and other high performance specs. On Bowling.com, Brunswick bowling balls are priced from $39-$135 with many options from which to choose. A storage and carrying bag from this company costs between $15-$226, depending on how many bowling balls it needs to hold.

The company history of Storm stems from High Score Products, which originally sold one product: U Clean / U Score Urethane Bowling Ball Cleaner™. The founder noticed the porous surface of urethane bowling balls and how they would soak the oil from the lanes, and thus created this product. Later they had the money to manufacture bowling balls, and the company was born. Eventually the name Storm overshadowed High Score Products, and the company switched over. Its innovative history has resulted in high quality bowling balls that range from $42-$146. Storage bags for bowling balls can be purchased for $24-$58.

Columbia 300 specializes only in bowling balls and is also owned by the Ebonite Company. They manufacture both polyester and polyurethane balls and all research goes into improving the striking sphere. Columbia offers all kinds of bowling balls, from high performance to entry level. Their products range from $35-$132; a bowling ball bag prices around $17-$235.

With all the time spent working on the sport, just as much care should be put into picking out the bowling ball. Across the spectrum, bowling ball companies have the players best game at heart in developing optimum performance bowling balls. Once the perfect ball has been found, it is necessary to take care of it by shielding it in a bowling ball bag, also manufactured by the brands. Take a look and shop around. These four companies represent the best in their field, so players can be the best in theirs.
