Want to try Storm again.
« on: March 17, 2007, 05:00:03 PM »
I have been having a lot of success with Ebonite and Hammer at the moment, but I have been hearing alot about the new N2S or NS2 or whatever, cover that storm has on the Shift, Special, and T-Road..    I currently have a Total NV, Black Widow, Pain, Doom, and Black Ice that I usually have in my bag..  I have several others, but those see the most use...

I would like to add a Special Agent and was wondering if it would fit well with the selection of balls I have now...  If not, do you think a Shift will be a better option...

My RPM's avg from 5 test shots 405
My total speed from 5 shots 16.97
My speed at the pins from 5 shots 15.68
My PAP is 4 1/4 > and 1/2 ^

These numbers were taken from Ebonite Bowlers MAP, place a piece of tape from PAP to over finger holes and use the RPM Calculator.. These were readings from a few months ago...

Well, I am 50/50 on this ball so far...  Drilled it 4x4 (tournament pattern on the key sheet)...  Wasn't really able to use it in league..  Put it away after 5 frames..  Pulled it back out for pot bowling, was standing 35, looking 19 and shot 278 - 255 - 222(made a lot of bad shots in the 222)....   So, we will see what it has to offer..  I will probably post a video sooner or later, probably comparing it to the Total NV...

Why weren't you able to use it in league?  I was thinking of the 4 x 4 layout on mine to use in league.

    It was DOA when it hit the pins, left weak/flat tens...  If I kept the break point in, I was fine, but if I missed left it was gone..  If I missed right, it had no energy left and came into the pocket weak..  I tried moving in a few boards and had a better reaction, but I wasn't letting it go very well..  I had a good look with my pain so I stayed with that..

    I moved 5 left and we switched pairs to pot bowl and had a good look all over the place with it..  

    Also, we just found out that were are having minor problems with our machine, which I think we fixed today so I will be able to have a better read on the ball in the next few days..  Also, I am going to give it a whirl on the Nationals pattern, which is really why I wanted it to begin with..

    The T-Road Pearl can't go wrong with this ball plays on anything from the Shark pattern to the House Pattern... Pin under fingers
