Whats with the Fear Factor??
« on: April 03, 2004, 01:41:27 AM »
I do not have one, in fact I have never thrown a storm ball, but have heard great things. Yet, on the fear factor it seems people either loved it or hated it. Could someone explain to me why it was that way?? the style of bowler?? drilling?? what?

A lot of heavy oil balls are misunderstood.  They are not made to hook coast to coast on a medium oil house shot.  They are meant to grab when there is very little dry.  Many people want a huge hook, then trash an oiler when it doesn't.

Well, it's got a ton of midlane and nothing on the backend.  What Strider said is definitely true though.  It NEEDS head oil AND midlane oil to get it down the lane.
