which Storm to get?
« on: April 30, 2008, 12:30:17 PM »
Our team is thinking about getting Storm balls for the start of the next league.  The Secret Agent has my attention but also wanted some input from you Stormers

My PAP is 5 1/4 and 1/4 up, medium to high speed and medium revs.  Looking for a house shot ball and don't care if it's for heavy oil, will shine it if it's too much hook.  Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks!!

Joe

Gravity is a great ball.
T-road solid aswell

both balls from my experience respond well to surface changes and release changes.

I agree with noodlejester - the secret agent wouldn't be your best bet for a fresh house pattern. I use mine on wet/dry conditions and holding line from outside angles on sport patterns. It is a very nice piece though.

The most versatile storm ball I have owned is the original Agent. It strikes from pretty much any angle, playing well on both inside and outside lines. If I had to use ONE storm ball this would be it.

If the conditions you're on have heavier volume/ length and play a little tighter I would recommend the special agent or T-road Solid. If you have a lower rev rate I'd go special agent, higher rev rate go T-road because of it's higher RG.

Basically, if you're looking for versatility - go original Agent.
If you're strictly looking for a ball to use on the fresh house stuff - go SA or TRS.

Original Agent does sound good.

Can't speak for the Hot Rod stuff, but almost everything else Storm has out right now except for perhaps the Secret Agent is a solid bet.
