Just had this one drilled.  Bought it brand new undrilled from someone who had it but never had it drilled.

This ball has a both the pin and MB 2.5" from the CG, and all 3 are in a straight line.  I have it drilled as Layout #1 in the brochure, with the MB in the strong.  This puts the pin just above the bridge, right over the pace between the 2 finger holes.  The CG is about 1/2" right of centerline, and the MB is in the strong according to the diagram.

This is the 5th Storm ball I have bought in the past year, and this is by far the best one yet.  I am a stroker with very litte wrist, and I can actually play this ball inside, over the third arrow, like the crankers do.  Balls like this are why I keep coming back to Storm.  I have bowled about 10 games so far with this in practice.  Have not used it yet in the league, but I will tonight.  Of the 10 practice games I threw, only 1 was under 200, and that was my fault.

Way to go, Storm!

Bought this ball used a couple months ago - 3" pin, drilled about half an inch to the right of the finger holes.

Medium rev stroker, medium speed

First impression of this ball was it would be good for a lighter volume of oil - less overall hook than my Horizon by 3-4 boards. Anything above medium house shot, the ball just slides. Decided to polish this one up and use it for a burnt house shot, as this is where the ball really shines for me. Playing straight up 8, I managed a high game of 267 and several over 200, on a shot that was pretty dry. Not too bad for a bowler with a 163 average in league. The ball showed absolutely no over-under, reacted exactly as I expected each and every shot. Pulled ball, it would hold whatever oil was out there, get it out a bit to far and it would come back, although I lost alot of carrying power when that happened. Overall I would say for the strokers, a great ball for a lighter volume of oil! This one gets a solid 8.5 from me.

 This is a ball I picked up at my local alley and the owner said I could have it. It is currently drilled stacked leverage and the ball was pretty beaten up so I resurfaced it and put it at like 1500 polished with black magic. This ball is a beast it pushes nicly in the front part of the lane and comes on strong second part of the lane great skid arc reaction. Started out last night 204 205 then ended with a 188 ball was overreacting bad and i didnt move fast enough. For an older ball the ball hits and carrys very well only a few 10 pins and a 8 pin over the night. The rad core in this ball is really impressive stores a ton of energy and even with the lanes drying out I didnt notice any roll out. Well I know it is an older ball but i figure if you can still find out out there dont hesitate to give it a whirl.
Likes:lenght and the overall reaction on the lanes. Also the hit and carry are above average.

Dislikes: That the ball is not still sold
