Title: most versatile storm ball (current line)
Post by: chitown on March 24, 2008, 05:51:07 AM: What current Storm ball is the most versatile. I'm talking if I were to take this one ball to a tourney and had a set of abralon pads with me.

I can play everywhere on the lane with this ball and I haven't even knocked the factory polish off it yet.

Post by: n00dlejester on March 24, 2008, 02:20:29 PM: I don't really own a newer ball, my latest being a T-Road Pearl. I would imagine the T-Road Solid, Sure Fire and regular Agent are more versatile than you can shake a stick at.

Post by: Fluff E Bunnie on March 24, 2008, 02:28:01 PM: So far the ball that has worked for me on the most variety of patterns house or sport conditions has been the Special Agent. I would think the T-Road Solid would rank right up there.

Oh granted oil and surface prep taken into account of course. On a real wet dry shot, I just use the Thunderstruck.

Yeah, I bet you could have an Agent and a Special Agent and pretty much be set.

SOLID: Thunderstruck

If your goal is "versatility" then I would not pack stronger pieces because I would think one goal would be able to use the ball as the pattern breaks down, at least until they really start curving.

No! The Blue Vibes are awesome! Very versatile ball. I just like to try different equipment from other ball makers from time to time. I would like to try a Storm ball. I have only had 1 ball made from Storm and it was the Paradigm. Good ball! I'm just looking for a versatile bowling balls that responds very well to cover changes. I prefer a symmetrical ball. I personally like the way symmetrical bowling balls roll compared to asymmetrical. I think symmetrical equipment works better on tougher patterns.

Post by: CHawk15 on March 25, 2008, 02:28:54 PM: Of the Storm balls I've thrown, the T-Road Pearl is the most versatile with the Agent coming in a close second (doesn't handle fried heads very well with any surface). As far as your 1 ball for a tourney with a set of pads with you, I'd probably go with a T-Road Solid. It was Bowler's Journal Ball of the Year and it could handle a little more oil than the TRoad Pearl because of the solid coverstock. But if I could take 2 balls and had to use Storm, I'd take a TRoad Solid and a TRoad Pearl.

Post by: chitown on March 26, 2008, 03:34:31 PM: I seen a T-road solid in action and must say it's pretty impressive. How does the Agent compare to the T-road solid?

Post by: CPA on March 27, 2008, 11:05:00 AM: If I were only wanting to use one Storm ball it would be the Agent.
