Interesting the match up black pearl has been on the usbc approved list since March but the intense fire was just added on the 8th

I noticed both balls have been removed from the Lomar bowling site. I really like my Intense so I will probably buy the Fire.

Who's the RAT on BR that reported back to HQ LMAO...c'mon...

Well that will be very disappointing to me if the Intense Fire turns out to be an overseas ball. It doesn't make any sense to me why ball companies go to the extra expense to create a separate line of balls for the overseas market and at least with Storm it seems like a lot of the cool stuff goes overseas.

To me the name and colors scream overseas which is why I dismissed it when it popped up.

Overseas market buys balls faster than the US. I remember someone saying especially in Asia they see new balls as instantly better

I’ve also heard that, over there, it is considered bad taste to see someone bowling well with a ball, then immediately running out to get one for yourself.

Thus the need to constantly have something “different” all the time.

Reminds me of:


Well, whatta ya expect they're Canadian asian.

(Before you all hate my wife is half-Japanese)

"Storm has released its summer lineup. At the top, they have the Intense Fire, with a “street date” of June 15. It will have the Rad-E core and hybrid cover. Also hitting the street on July 11- Match Up Black Pearl and Mix purple/silver. Then on July 20 two new Tropical Storms will release- black/copper and violet/charcoal. All of these balls will come after a Storm across-the-board price increase effective June 1."

How about no...

Storm needs to cut the BS and re-release Lights Out.

God, what a ball that was.
