I'm interested....The colors sound a little odd, but who cares really.  When is this beast going to be available for purchase for us poor, non-proshop owning schmucks?  Anyone know?  And i assume it will be part of the Master Line, meaning it will be a $150-$200 ball.

My source says The Fear Factor will be in Pro Shops the first week of October.
The testing and research was quite extensive and my insider says this ball will be a heavy hitter on heavy oil. Can't wait to try this one out!

Well, there is also another post in this Storm forum about a new X-Factor, they mention the World 2003.  At the bottom the last two threads mention this ball and according to them it's due out late October early November.

The X-Factor World is an overseas ball that will not be released in the US.

I saw the new Storm Fear Factor in person. The Rep. was testing it
on a very tight pattern. I don't know what Storm used to make this ball,
but after watching the Rep. throw it on oil, I went directly to the Pro Shop
and ordered one. This ball is going to be very popular...

Bulldawg, it's actually nowhere close.  The picture of the core they have on bowlingballreviews is actually the X-Factor core upside down with the added little puck on the side.  The Morpheus core is much thinner with various different appendages depending on which ball in the Freak line it is that you're looking at.  Find a pic of the original X-Factor core, and compare it to the Morpheus.  Both great cores, but I don't see much similarity at all.

HAH!  I don't know ANYBODY now!

Being in adult leagues teaches you many things.  

1.  You're not on top anymore, but there are a lot more people that suck worse than you do now.  

2.  The myth about the youths having an easier shot is NOT TRUE.  I'd have an entire ring collection if it was.  

3.  Drunk adults are a lot funnier than drunk youths.
