Set me up! Returning to Storm . .
« on: February 21, 2007, 10:26:40 PM »
After a long debate with myself and a few words from my pro shop guy . . I've decided to start drilling Storm again.  Brunswick's last couple years worth of balls just don't fit my game anymore, it's really been hit and miss, the only few real successes being the Classic Zone, Red Zone, and Smokin Inferno, the more long and strong balls that they have.  Storm's got a lot of newer balls with the reaction I'm looking for, but I'm still a little wary of Reactor.  I have a few older balls I could order . .

Dark Thunder
Dark Thunder Pearl
Atomic Charge
Recharge


New ones I'm interested in:

Shift
Special Agent
Pyro
Paradigm Domination
Spit Fire


Need some stuff for my PBA Experience league this summer, but I also want to be able to use them for regular league too.  Have one short dry pattern, one medium-medium pattern, and one that's all over the place.  I need an oiler though, something that'll cut through on the backend, a first out of the bag ball (my 4.5 x 4.5 Red Zone is the one I use 90% of the time, and I can use it everywhere all night as long as the backends don't get too sloppy), and something for drier (my Smokin works very well as it's smooth, but strong).  Suggest me some stuff here!

Since this discussion has a lot of Thunderstruck v. Dark Thunder mention in it, let me note that those are two different coverstocks. The Dark Thunder and Dark Thunder Pearl wear Monsoon (and Monsoon Pearl) as their coverstock.



Yeah and the Monsoon on the Dark Thunder is supposed to be "reformulated" to handle Medium-Heavy oil.  I am not sure what that means compared to the original Monsoon but I can say that the DT is very nice.

I don't have a Thunderstruck line ball yet, but I do have a Dark Thunder and even Ron C.'s 40-foot flat-oil shot at the BR Gathering last year wasn't enough to keep me from being able to hook the ball. It's probably the most versatile ball I've got and if you simply take it down from box 1000 grit to 600 grit, it's a darn good oiler.
