For Christ sakes with the damn X-Factor name,  I was hoping for just a ball called Vertigo.  Ameretto for the smell what the hell is that I thought they were using fruits,choclate and stuff like that, can the next ball be crown and coke scented please or myabe rum and coke.

Thank God something that will hook, I just hope that its a different coverstock than everything else.  Storm hasn't really come out with a brand new coverstock in a while even though I love their equipment.

The hybrid sounds interesting and pretty much what we thought it would...a pearl / solid mix.  Now you have got to wonder what the coverstock material will be?

I wish I could get a picture of the Vertigo!  I saw the pic of the Hybrid on cheapbowlingballs.com but the Vertigo pic won't work.  Anyone know where I can see one?

So what coverstock is used on the Hybrid: the good Monsoon or the better Accu-Tread?
* And, hell's bells, why bother? The Pro Stock and the Pearl are so easily modifiable, that a combo is apparently done for no reason other than to say they did it, as an advertising ploy.
* BTW if it's Monsoon, then they just copied the Roto-Grip Apocalypse, which is 1/2 solid Monsoon and 1/2 pearl Monsoon.

And what the heck is "SFA"?
and again, why bother?
The Ace has such a great coverstock, Accu-Tread light load particle pearl and has gotten such great praise from EVERYONE, both professional and amateur, why not make a real heavy oil ball and use an Accu-Tread particle solid coverstock on any of the X-Factor's cores.

Storm, you're falling down on the job! You're playing games instead of leading the way like YOU USED TO. You're selling balls on momentum instead of innovation!
