Hey Storm, listen up...
« on: July 13, 2012, 09:32:53 AM »
We (your customers) want a Virtual Energy Nano...it doesn't have to be named VE Nano...we just want a Nano hybrid.  I know the Vivid was meant to fill in between the Nano solid and pearl but it is, afterall, a solid.

We also want a ball to outhook the Nexxus and HR Revenge...if for no other reason than to shut up the competition.  But I'm sure you are probably already working on it.... ;D

Your Vivd does not hook as much or more than a Nexxus or Hell Raisers Revenge? What's more important, hook or performance?

What a thought!  If there were only some way to take a Nano and get it do push a little further down the lane....I mean...like....maybe make the surface not so rough.  We could call it....polish....yeah that's it.

But really....is this really that necessary?  I mean between the Modern Marvel, Defiant Edge, and Critical Theory you could probably make one of those work in the hole you're talking about.

Maybe when people start looking at actual reaction shapes and not this is my ”medium heavy, heavy, etc” ball, posts like this will cease. Changing surfaces and moving your feet, last i checked, is allowed.

Your telling me with the Vivid and both IQs don't hook enough? Really? Maybe you should
adjust, just an idea. Adjust the ball surface, try different drill patterns, Move your feet,change
your release,change your ball speed.

Bowling isn't about how much you can hook it it is about how many pins you can
knock down.

People, people, people...RELAX!!!  I like hybrids...I want a HP hybrid with an Asymmetric core.  Plain and simple.  Period.

Read my post....I said to release an HP ball to outhook the Nexxus and HR Revenge just to SHUT UP THE COMPETITION.  Did I say, "because I suck so bad that I don't know how to move my feet and change hand positions...because I suck so bad that i'm not as good at bowling as some people on ballreviews."?  No.  I never said those things.  I can change hand positions...I do move my feet.  But I'm a bit of a ballwhore anyway...

Don't go getting your panties in a wad!  Geesh!  Is everyone on here so darn uptight?

+1000000000000000000000 really people need to learn how to manipulate the cover and the other balls you mentioned would work fine. Geezus every time people want more hook! I don't get it...a lot of houses aren't putting out that much volume.

You want a hybrid, get a Critical Theory from Roto. Havent heard anything bad about it once. Storm and Roto are partners, Storm pours all the Roto equipment and they both have great staff and R&D.

HP ball to outhook Nexxus and Revenge, its called the Nano. If you want it to hook out of the building, put some surface on it and it will hook at your feet.

Shut up the competition? Look how their equipment did  on tour vs Storm. Just because it hooks the most doesn't mean its the best.

That would be the infinite theory.  A Virtual Energy Nano would be great!  But, that's your request to outhook the competition?  Really?  Um, okay.  Anyway, become a better shotmaker, and the nautical mile of hook is no longer necessary...

Amen on the big hook comment X_Evil, but I would still buy a Nano 'Energy if they come out with one.  ;D

LOL.  I would most definitely get one too.  The orignal is what pulled me into Storm.

That's why I went with a barely used Rogue Cell hybrid from Roto Grip.  That ball gets a little more length than the Defiant but still has a ton of energy in back to make a nice angular move.  It's a perfect ball to step down to.

I'm surprised that they haven't done a hybrid cover for their Nano line in all honesty, especially when RG has all 3 covered with the Defiant, Infinite and Critical Theory. 

I guess Storm was thinking of maybe having it as VG Nano > Vivid (solid but with a different core) > VG Nano Pearl.  Yet, I haven't seen a massive difference between the VG Nano and Vivid.  Sure, maybe a few boards, but overall reaction shape is still going to be similar with the NRG cover.
