Storm T-Road Solid??
« on: June 05, 2008, 11:32:06 AM »
Currently bowling in one summer league and looking to join a PBA league this July.  Feel that I will need a ball that will be able to handle a med heavy to heavy oil.  Have been throwing a Hammer Black Widow Solid and have really liked the ball but not real happy with having to give it continual hot water baths every 20-25 games and yes I clean my equipment after every set and use clean N dull every 15-18 games.

Bought my first Storm Ball, the Sure Fire this spring and have really been impressed with it, has become my go to ball.  Looking to buy a Storm ball for this slot and wanted on the T-Road solid or other suggestions as to what would make sense with my current aresenal.


Currently using all 16#
Ebonite Gamebreaker OOB for medium oil
Storm Sure Fire Polished when lanes breakdown.  (Really like this ball and this is reason why I am looking to go with another storm)  
Route 66 Plastic Spare ball.


I am a tweener throw between 15.5-17 mph with med revs.  Looking for a ball that will be able to move a step above the Gamebreaker.

Thanks in advance for you help.

Mark

personally, i use a Storm Super Charge. i know its an older ball, like a few years old, but it still works in heavy oil. i throw pretty hard, 20-30mph, and it still gets to the pocket.

i would probably suggest waiting for the new dimension. the t-road solid could be close in reaction to the gamebreaker. The dimension will give you a little more variety from what i can tell.

Thanks for your suggestion, do not really want to overlap.

Another possibility is the Attitude Shift.  I have one and it doesn't get used as much as I would like because I don't see enough oil for it to be effective.  Just a thought

T Road Solid is much stronger than the Gamebreaker and is one of the best ball ever made. The Street Rod Solid is alot of ball for the money. The ball is not for medium lane condition as advertised. This ball outhooked my Cell and my friend's Resurgence, two great balls for heavier oil conditions. Dimension sounds like a good ball but won't know until I get a chance to roll it. I had the Gamebreaker and it didn't react very well on heavier conditions. Good Luck.

Secret Agent. Adjust cover as needed, i.e. 2000 grit or 1000 grit.
