What up wit that?
« on: September 16, 2004, 07:57:04 AM »
Why is it when a new ball comes out, None of the pro shop guys, or people on the storm staff owns a digital camera, ot take a picture of the new balls? Or post up the flyers that come out?

Just wondering...

Alot of times we get them about a week or so before they get on the market everywhere. In my case Storm ships to me but it takes a full week just to get the balls to me so the staff guys on the west coast get them much earlier than I do.
Not to mention that the staff guys alot of times get balls that don't look as vibrant as the ones the pro shop guys will get. I think we get the first production runs and the color blends may be a little dark or too much of one color and not exactly the blend they want so they tweak.

Example:
My Recharge #1 was almost totally Purple looked like a pearl thunder road...a month later I order another one and it has alot more gold in it with the purple.

just be patient and it will all be OK and they will have their pics on the website.

I work with a bowling magazine and we have had the ace and hot rods, sitting for the last 3 days atleast, waiting to be drilled. they look great but of course we have to respect storm's offical release date, and not give the public any peaks.

we actually usually test in the middle of the day when there are only senior leagues around or very late at night when almost everyone is gone home.
