The only one I can remember, if you can get your hands on it is the Thunder Flash.

Storm actually did make a Urethane version of their Flame.

Oh and the ThunderFlash...I had a "pro" version and that ball hooked harder on the backend than some of my Reactive equipment so I'm calling BS on it being just urethane, I think it had a bit of resin in it too.

I have a blue flame urethane, I got it on ebay for $10, along with another ball for $30. It has a 1 1/2 inch pin in the strong postion, hole almost on pap. it roles smooth reallyy smooth. I like it though, wish storm would take the original core from the too hot and put the pro glide coverstock on it, that would be an awsome dry lane piece.

Recently a used Thunderflash went through German ebay, but very battered. Some Flames also show up here and there, but bad conditions. Sometimes you get lucky that pro shops still have some older balls NIB lying around, but you normally only get them if can talk directly with the shop owner, since old balls simply do not sell well or are on display. Tough task!
