just as the title says, what makes storm different from the equipment that the other companies make? it is that storm' s coverstocks are more aggressive or is it their weight blocks? i've gathered that the sync and lucid have an earlier, smoother type roll but does the majority of storm's equipment seem to have a skid snap type of reaction? is it the same for roto grips equipment also?

do the coverstocks seem to die early? what are some of the things that you don't like about storm/roto?

i like hammer but the selection is limited to the taboo line if i want to buy a strong asymmetrical ball so i might switch companies to try to make it easier to compare products.

you couldnt have said it any better

IMO storm/roto balls are just more predictable, lasting, and provide consistent carry.

My belief is that just offer so many different options to choose from.  And they really work well for their intended purposes.

Can someone please answer my question. I'm a bit confused now on the lucid. Earlier roll or hockey stick?

I really think speed has a lot to do with how this ball rolls.. If you are speed dominant or have high speed I think it could be smoother.. My Dad has one , he has relatively slow speed and the ball is very early and very angular...

Typically when a ball rolls very early, it's a much smoother entry. Higher speed players create more angle because the ball gets further down the lane before it makes a move; ie. Hockey Stick.

As far as the Lucid, I would say it's fairly smooth out of the box with a strong layout. Tame it some with a slightly weaker layout and some polish to delay the reaction, you'll have a skid/flip machine. You can essentially make any ball skid/flip or smooth. Just depends on the layout, surface, gradient hole, and most importantly the Bowler.
