Agree, very nice read.

Jeff: when are we going to see some videos? I know, I know, very busy days at tour, but I would like to see those storm balls you show in your site in action (in practice of course).

I believe there are videos of Jeff out on the Storm site.

I believe associated with the Ace!

Thanks for the comments guys. We are working hard right now on the online coaching and arsenal assmebly programs. As soon as those are operational, we will try and get some videos up on the site.

If anybody has anything else that they would like to see or learn more about, feel free to send the ideas my way. I do this website for 2 reasons:
1 ) My charity
2 ) All of you

Perfect blog there Mr. Carter.  Very entertaining, and great insite.  Here is a question for you, since you are on Storm's staff.

I have an X Factor Ace that I just got a little while ago.  It came pretty well polished.  Is that the normal finish on it?  Someone in my league said it wasn't, but I was almost certain it was.

Keep up the good work, and see you on the show this Sunday!!!

The Ace did come factory polished. It is very versatile and can handle scotch brite very well if needed. My favorite 2 Aces were hit lightly with Burgandy pads

What I would like to see is similar to what BrunsNick does for the Brunswick forum is to post vids throwing the equipment and explanations of layouts and their reactions.

Thanks Jeff.  That is what I ended up doing, hitting it with the Burgundy pad.  I used it Monday night, and the reaction I got was excellent.

I honestly thought I was going to shoot my first 800.  I started the game with a solid strike, followed by an even better shot resulting in a stone 9 pin (lefty).  I then ran off the next 7 in a row.  I got up for the 9th frame, got set and was ready to go, and someone jumped on me.  My mental game is all messed up for me this season, so something as little as that really affected me.

Needless to say my string was ended, and I shot a 235.  Still loved the reaction I was getting, and it still gave me a bigger amount of area, than I've seen in about the past 6 weeks.

I have had nothing but success with Strom equipment....so why am I not throwing more of it? lol.
