Or does anyone use their bowling balls?

http://www.azobowling.com/

And if so, what do you think about their products?

Personally, I think the Pure Tactics or the Ultra Radical would be fun to throw.

Never heard of them but after looking them up, it looks like Storm makes them.

Could be. Now that you mention it a lot of their balls do look like some of the Storm balls.

That's cool. Now you and I can be Storm/Roto/Azo bowlers, lol. grin

Actually, from the website, it sounds like Azo is like a science R&D department for Storm. Or Storm provides them with the money and free reign to do what they want, but they have to produce results.

They make a decent line of balls, .... Made by Storm, as is Roto Grip... possibly coming off the 900 global plant in Texas since 900 global does make some balls for Storm....

AZO was bought out by the Legends/lanemasters guys then I guess their no compete clause expired and started making balls again, mostly overseas last year, and now expanding into the us market.
