Author Topic: I'm getting hooked on storm again (Read 997 times)

I've had success with every storm ball I've ever had. (Erase-It, Usa Gold, Barbed Wire)
Now Storm is taking over my bag again. I usually carry 4 balls. Right now I'm using a Football for spares and bone dry lanes. A big hit for dry. A matte finish Hot Rod Hybrid for medium. What storm ball would slot a bit above the Hybrid? I'm a no thumber. I generally get through the heads fine, but with most balls I hook too early in the midlane and get too much backend. I don't need a ball for a flood. We're talking 42 feet of heavy christmas tree house shot oil with clean backends on slicker synthetics. I want something that rolls like the matte finish Hybrid with a bit earlier roll and only 3-5 boards more overall hook. In other words SMOOOOTH.
Thoughts?

I'd been using a Blazing inferno, Ego, Particle power groove, polished Granite Gargoyle, or Impact zone in this spot.

I went with a Flash Force. Initial impressions are good. It seems earlier and smoother that the Hybrid. The hybrid seems to roll well when there is early friction, but can be too over under with clean heads. We'll see if the FF is better on a bit more oil. I need some more games to know for sure.

I would have went with the Flash Flood. A Touch smoother off the break than the others with a strong roll. You might want to consider it for the future.

I generally do much better with reactive than with particle.
