More Cash has actually started to redeem itself slightly since I worked so hard on reducing my axis tilt. Still nothing special but at least moves some for me now. Still prefer the Quantums much more. Can get away with those super high friction covers on higher RG balls much easier at least for me.
You know, I have been working on reducing my axis tilt and increasing my axis rotation by keeping a more cupped wrist (as opposed to cocked). Certain balls that wouldn't do much are all of a sudden hook monsters now. The old Storm particle balls have that "go left in a rolly fashion" type reaction. My new release has made my Storm El Nino Xit and Storm La Nina into smooth hook monsters. The Sure Lock went from a controlled heavy rolling ball to a booming hook monster that is unusable now on most conditions.
I was watching JR Raymond's review of the Gravity Evolve and noticed that when he flattened his hand out and went up the lane, the Evolve completely died on the backend. When JR decided to move in and rotate the axis of the ball more, he got a lot more reaction out of it like you would expect. That somewhat mirrors how the El Nino Xit and La Nina responded to my hand. In general, I noticed Storm's hook monsters respond better to those who have stronger/cleaner releases. Bowlers who are lazy with their release (spinning, topping the ball, weaker wrist) will get a lazy Storm hook monster. I cannot say that this is a solely a Storm thing but in my perception it is most prominent with Storm stuff.
