ball chart
« on: November 01, 2017, 09:23:32 AM »
My computer crashed and I lost the ball comparison chart from ball reviews. Does anyone have a location or web cite where I can down-load a new one?
Thank you

Neat. Iron Cross core is weaker than I would have guessed only surprise for me but only a casual Storm fan.  That core hits a ton can almost guarantee though.  Too bad bought so many balls lately as you can find NIB Street Fights cheap right now on ebay.

Here’s the up to date version if you want it. Ssshhh it’s a secret.

Can take a few attempts to load up but worth the wait. It’s a French site but easily understood.

Up to date to August 2017.

To me it looks like as you read on the right hand side it begins with the least aggressive cover stock at the bottom moving up to the most aggressive. On the left hand side it does the same with cores.

You therefore pick a ball from their line up and see where it comes on both core and coverstock and that gives you an “idea” of how strong the ball will be.

Shows both Storm and Roto-Grip current cores and cover stocks available.

That’s how I read it but I see no way of comparing angle,length etc.
