I was checking out the videos on the Storm website and Pete mentions that he thinks the Dimension acts like an old urethane ball used to.

Does this refer to this Cell-type reaction it has? I have been thinking of trying a Cell or Dimension.

You mean your Big Hit doesn't hit like a "Big Hit"? That's crap.

A buddy of mine punched up a Dimension the other day. Pin up, probably around a 4.5" pin to PAP layout. I'd sum it up as having the motion of a Special Agent with the continuation and total hook of the Cell. That thing is a beast.

The original Agent has a Reactor pearl coverstock while the Dimension has the R2X solid coverstock. The more aggressive R2X is stronger than the Reactor in general for an earlier read and the ability to handle more oil, plus that's the nature of a solid compared to a pearl anyway. Therefore, just based on the coverstocks alone, there's quite a big difference in the two balls. The Dimension is going to be more useful on heavier/longer patterns and when you have a lot of carrydown. The cores on the Agent and the Dimension are both fairly low RG, rolly cores with a good amount of continuation. The Dimension has an even more continuous motion than the Agent from what I've seen. This gives you good pin carry, consistent ball motion, and good control.

To sum it up, when you see oil, the Dimension will be your friend. When you see a little more friction, the Agent should work nicely.

My Dimension is drilled Storm Layout #1 B (Pin above Fingers 5 3/4). My Dimension is straight like a Dart. Any ideas why?

- too much oil
- too little oil
- drilling not appropriate for your release/delivery specifications.
- drilling not apporpriate for your desired ball reaction

Sasch, can you give us some of your stats. I've never seen a Dimension that does not stand up.

In general, I know which layout you did the key is roughly 2-3" off of the midline. The ball could actually be to strong and it's hooking long before you ever see it.
