Build your own ball?
« on: May 09, 2004, 06:53:13 PM »
Of course, his statement "...and does pass ABC specs." does not mean that it is ABC approved.

Anyone want to go halfsies with me on a Blue Dot/Inferno Frankstein ball?

You want a pancake core inside the Activator coverstock? Are you drunk? The ball would be practically useless. At least put a reall core in it. Ya know what would be kool. The X-factor Reloaded core in the Activator cover. Or put the Reloaded core in a urethane cover, maybe just lower the differential. It would clear the heads and be really smooth at the breakpoint. Ok, now I feel like e-mailing Storm about the urethane ball.

I'm still trying to figure out what two balls it was made out of?  Looks like a Lightning Storm and a Tour Power????  Honestly if he didn't say it was two Storm balls pieced together I would've said the lower purple ball was a beat up AMF Ninja RPM.

Anyone else wanna guess?

I'd like to see a decent video of how it reacts.  Who wants to buy it though?  We could always pass it from member to member as an experiment.  LOL

My guess would have to be the Lightning Storm and the Fire Power.  That top half looks more red/orange than red to me.  Think I'll e-mail the seller and ask.

It'd be like having a White Dot on steroids.  Perfect for those of us who have 2-1/2 revs per shot

If anyone cares, the seller e-mailed me and told me that it was "a Storm Lightning Storm and a Storm Firepower"
