On Storm's webpage under the news tab,  there is talk about Storm releasing a new ball on Feb 1'st you have to be a fan of storm on facebook to get the first info on the new ball, just curious if anyone has any info they would like to share?  I'm assuming a new premier line ball maybe a hybrid version of the invasion line but who knows.....

If it turns out to be the nano.. this is what it will look like..

 

 

 

exciting stuff, i am hoping for an updated xfactor or even tour power... hehehe, el nino would be cool too!

The first sentences of the Storm ad are:

"There is always room for improvement…

That’s why we took the best selling ball in Storm’s history and made it better."

 

Okay, so what ball was Storm's best selling ball?

I'm guessing it was either the El-Nino in all of its different versions or the X-Factor in all of its different versions.

Any other ideas out there?

 

 

I guess I couldn't blame Storm for putting out another Virtual Series ball. It probably will be the Virtual Gravity Nano. A R3x pearl cover like the one on the Anarchy would really be nice however.

- Description: Storm is known for producing the best high performance balls on the market. When the Virtual Gravity was released in 2008, it not only turned heads but gave bowlers of all skill levels an unprecedented amount of hook on even the oiliest lanes imaginable. The new Virtual Gravity Nano is intended to create a similar yet stronger ball motion built specifically for heavy oil. This can be accomplished with either a stronger coverstock (texture) or more aggressive weight block (lower radius of gyration or increased differential). As the original Virtual Gravity quickly became Storm‟s all-time best seller, the new Nano is sure to follow in its footsteps...and yes, those are big shoes to fill! Looking at the original Virtual Gravity, the Shape-Lock HD weight block/core system produced a fast-revving action that especially helped bowlers looking for a stronger change of direction usually privy to only those with big rev rates! The Shape-Lock HD motor will continue to power the Nano as well. A breakthrough in coverstock technology rarely happens due to the complex nature of chemistry and polymer science. But Storm's research and development team is committed to maintaining the "pole position" in bowling innovation, so it's no surprise that we are changing the game yet again with the new NRG cover. With Nanotechnology, NRG will give bowlers increased oil traction due to the micro-dynamic enhancements of the surface. Just looking at the surface of the new NRG material shows you the increased surface texture between the peaks and valleys, as well as the more aggressive edges on the top of the peaks! We're continuing to push the envelope; we just hope you are ready for it.
