I loved that ball back in the late 90's. The only reason I got rid of it cause it was a 14. It saved me on the times I encountered heavy oil and the balls I had at the time were a Danger Zone, Speed Demon Zone and a Hammer 3-D offset. I was fascinated with the ball in 98 when I saw two PBA crankers for my first time that were part of the Storm staff. They were Robert Smith and Brian Himmler. Not only amazed with thier cranker ability but noticing they both had the same shirt and throwing the same ball. After that the next weekend I raced to the pro shop and they had the El Nino on the front counter display. They had a 14 and told them I wanted it to hook early. It was a great ball.
