What up with X-Factor
« on: January 05, 2004, 11:21:19 PM »
Just phoned my pro-shop to see if my X-Factor is in and he says he cant get them any more!!!! pro shops are few and far between over here (UK) so I cant just go down the road. I'm going to have to find all the pro shops over here and ring round to see if they have one in stock. If not I'll have to order it from a pro shop in the U.S.A. . So I was thinking do any of you people on here own pro shops with credit card machines and could you send me one with the box that says "gift" on the export label ticked that way it will save me about $100 in duty. this might be illegal I don't know.If any one was interested PM me.Dont know what is happening over here with the X-Factor . I posted the other day if any one had heard any rumors about storm stopping the X-Factor and no one had heard a thing has this changed?

Here is an e-mail I just got from storm:                                     Hello Alex,
The X factor is one year old, and things change. We think it is a great ball, but we sales dictate us to contiunually reinvent things. I suggest you take a look at our Fear factor. We put an extra weight block inside the ball, and if you polish it, it will be an X factor with better  perfomance.

Alex my driller had the same problem, he couldnt even get any more X-factor Worlds especially in 15lbs. He did still have an X-factor blem in 16lbs just before Christmas. Dont know if he still has it. It was only a scratch blem.
He didnt like the fear factor as he said it didnt do what he felt it was supposed to do when he saw it a demo day.
I had a Thing Returns off him and boy is it good, suits most lanes over here.
