2 New storm balls for Thanksgiving
« on: October 08, 2004, 10:30:26 AM »
2 New balls both due out thanksgiving time they tell me.
 
One the Eraser Banshee very sweet looking ball really pearl kinda a limey yellow and pinkish red about 60% red 40% yellow. And the scent... Pina Colata whatever.
The other ball Atomic Charge sold 2 colors purple like on the v2 sweet and a real sharp blue similar surface to the xxx extreme scent of cranberry I thinks.

No other info at this time.

storm decided sometime last year to revamp their whole lineup, and that is why they are releasing all these new balls. dont ask me why they decided to do this though...

Purely in terms of looks, am I the only one who finds Storm balls to be really boring looking? Maybe the new ones will be improved, but everything else they've released in the past 4-5 years has been boring and ugly to me.

And of course I know that performance is the main thing anyway and that looks are secondary.

You weren't unlucky when you left that corner pin, so shut up about it already!!

Yes, storm really likes to use the same colors over and over again (Red, Purple, Dark Blue, and Gold), but then they did come out with the phase, which is really carzy looking. And ebonite seems to be obsessed with bright, crazy looking balls.

But now back to the topic. Is storm really just going to be coming out with more pure monsoon balls? I was really hoping for a particle pearl with the PMT core (or a variation of it), but now I will have to wait even longer possibly. I also was hoping for a light load solid particle in the power line to replace my Core Power LRG, but thats going to have to wait too now...

I saw them yesterday at the "Days of Thunder" seminar series Storm is running.  Both were pretty neat looking.  The AC is blue/purple, looked like a dyed Super Charge, the Banshee was blazing yellow/orange-red.  The reps said they only have 10 pounders done at this point that are labelled up...VIP's to get'em in 1st week of November....

PS Super Charge is staying for awhile...due to the different cores in AC and SC

Wow...I still can't believe they are coming out with 2 new ones so close to the Ace and HRPSP.  I always like to see new balls, but having to invest in stock more frequently is getting old.
