Plus, how really different is one ball from the next, new coverstock, not withstanding. From Storm we've had Accu-Tread, Typhoon, Monsoon, Reactor, now Paradigm. There are differences but how significant are they really?
(That is an honest question.)
Well as I understand it from a few seminars i have been to and by throwing equipment with most of these covers except the reactor- the eox cover on the paradigm is very clean through the heads but it has the strong midlane of the accu-tread and i believe the core creates the sharper backend. Monsoon is very skid-flip and does not pick up to much in oil. The typhoon cover is a little less aggressive than the monsoon cover. But i would have to say that the eox cover is the most predictable even though i dont think it is as aggressive as the accu-tread.
As far as the stroker, tweener, and cranker ball paths- i am pretty sure they are removing them for the next ball cataloge. I don't know if the did testing but you can derive those ball paths by knowing the covers-and core characteristics- which your pro shop professional should be able to figure out generally how it should react for an individual
