charlest, kotm, Constantine, or any of you ball layout drilling gurus. The balls are the Storm Hot Wire vs. Storm Erase-It.
The question is if one ball comparitvely matches up with same RG, same cover stock <Accutread solid>, basically same core although I am not certain of that <Erase-It had modified Thunder Road with Power Ball Tech. vs. Hot Wire's Modified Inverted 2-piece> How does one get .033 on a Storm Hot Wire vs. .050 on a Storm Erase-It? How much difference in ball performance will this make? Will the reactions be close or are they totally different?
Thanks,
Scott

Thnaks Jabroni. That's kinda what I thought. I had posed a question to the Storm Techincal staff on their website and they said the best match up to the Erase-It was the Hot Wire. Then I aksed what I did here in this topic back to them. They re-thought and just sent this e-mail "We apologize on that information the ball that would a better fit will be the new Super Charge. We have attached that information for you."
So I guess the Super Charge is a better ball for comparision. For some reason I match up to the Erase-It and have gotten better use out of this ball than any I have used in the last few years. Been looking high and low for the same type of ball and reaction.
Thanks,

Storm continually used a very similar weight block on a lot of their stuff for years, and then altered the differential with PB = power balls(denser material in the center of the block), or by dense flip blocks.
If one looks at the Erase it, Eraser, Too Hot, Ultra Hot, and now some of the new balls(Not the X factors), one can see that same Thunder Road weightblock with different density flip blocks creating differences in flare potential.
NOw the HOt Wire has the same core shape and similar coverstock but unfortunately it is the lower diff version, closer to the Ultra Hot.

PS AMF/Track did the same thing with ceramaslam weightblock and so has columbia with many weightblocks, as frankly so has Brunswick. If you've got a block that rolls nice, throw in a few tweaks with a new color coverstock, give em that same nice shape at a different point in the alley and make a little money!

My point exactly, the core shape of the Eraser/Thunder Road is there in the Too and Ultra Hots, and now the Hot wire. Just as you stated, Erasers had the Power Ball, the Hots didn't.
I agree with you Super charge looks real close to Erase IT. Almost an X Deuce but a different cover with half the RAD Weightblock.

Thanks to all on this topic. Looks like I may try a higher RG drilling on a Super Charge. The Monsoon coverstock probably has this ball moving a lil earlier. Fear Factor does this with the Monsoon with the addition of medium load particle.
