Tech Talk EP1: So Many New Balls! (Recap Video)
« on: April 04, 2017, 08:54:06 AM »
I've made a recap video of the balls that have come out since November from Storm/Roto (excluding the pearl Hustles).  8 releases in total in just a bit more than 5 months, and I imagine we're not too far away from a few more, so I made this just to sum up everything, or give you the "short" version.

Great video. I shared it on facebook for all my bowling friends. I don't have some of the balls in the video (yet), but I definitely agree with the NRP and Trick summaries. I feel like these 2 balls match up for me better than anything else I've thrown all season (and I've thrown quite a bit).

I will say this about the Timeless. I don't have high revs (unless I throw 2 handed) and this ball still works for me. I'd say I'm more on the low side of medium revs on average and often throw with enough speed to make me speed dominant. It was a little over/under at box finish, but I had it hit with a 3000 pad and it has been far better. Haven't even changed the surface since then. Mine is drilled 4x4x2 with a weight hole on or near my PAP.

So far since switching (back) to Storm/RG, I've bought the Code Black, Timeless, Daredevil, DD Trick, and No Rules Pearl. None of these disappoint. I'm still planning to pick up a Wreck Em, Hustle POW, and Sure Lock. Maybe something like a Match Solid, and a Mix to replace my Hammer Black Widow Spare (cracking around holes). Oh, and when/if they release a DD Hybrid, that will be a no brainer.

Match Solid is one of the most underappreciated balls in recent memory.  It's the ugliest ball I've ever seen, but it's outstanding.  Not a fan of the Hustles at all though, that's why I never even got the pearl versions.  Core is way stronger than the cover, and by the time you match the cover to the core, you've got a ball that's way stronger than you want it.  If you can find a Loco Solid somewhere . . that's one of the best balls ever made PERIOD lol.
