Need help with a new ball
« on: December 02, 2006, 01:34:17 PM »
Am looking for a Storm ball to fit between my Uranium HRG and my Pearl Cobalt.

I'd like a solid resin to help combat some of the carrydown but would also like it have a strong backend so I can move inside and have it get back.

I have thrown Storm well in the past and would consider adding a Storm ball to my arsenal again...

Any help would be appreciated.

i agree. the Special Agent. or if you're looking for something that's a bit more tame but still very good, get the thunderstruck solid.

The Thunderstruck Solid is not tame by any means of the imagination.  The one I own flips as hard on the back as most pearls I've thrown.  Maybe if you add some surface it'll tame down a bit.  The Special Agent or Diablo is probably your best bet.  If you don't mind using Roto Grip, the Horizon Solid is another good choice.

Yeah I am confused by these Thunderstruck tame comments that keep popping up.  I can use that thing for anything but really heavy oil.  I bet if I had a sanded one, it would probably work for the heavy oil too.

erm i said for something a bit tamer than the special agent. in order words, something that ISN'T AS STRONG AS THE SPECIAL AGENT. i'm not saying the ball is tame dudes.

According to Storm's website the T-Struck solid and the Special Agent have VERY similar reactions.....

Thunderstruck Solid is perfect for medium oil with carrydown, I have mine at 1000Grit and it's perfect for that spot.

If your looking for something to handle more oil the Special Agent is the one your looking for.

I decided to have a good friend of mine on the site here just drill a ball and send it to me:-) He sees way more balls in action than I do so I lef the layout and ball choice up to him....he's going to send me a ball with 3 holes in it and I'll put in the inserts/ slug and such when it gets here and then add a x hole if needed....

gotta love surprises!!!! I am thinking it'll be a Storm ball though...I'm excited!!!!!

Just remeber you can always change the surface. I have a double agent that was way to strong. So i polished it up and brought the surface to 2500 grit. Goes much longer and snappier now, plus doesn't hook off the lane.
