its certainly not your fault...unfortunatley too many people hear something and run with it. My advice is that if you dont hear it from an employee of the company in some form, then i wouldnt put a lot of stock into it until you personally see it with your own eyes

That is one heck of a line-up.  As much as I would like to see Spit Fire and Sure Fire stay, that looks great.  I like the direction Storm is going.

What about the the Tour block II? It is a urethane and has a mild core in it, why don't they ship a bunch of them over here? I am sure people would buy a bunch of them. What Jeff said about it wouldn't be worth it to come out with a good urethane pearl with a mild core is up in the air, because for one there are some bowling alleys where weaker reactives and pearls are still too strong then plastic just may not role right either, so a good urethane pearl with a mild core would fix that, but ol well, just as Jeff said people can learn how to play a lnae right, but what happeneds when someone doesn't have enough ball speed or revs to move way in? then what? Any way, it is sad to see the spitfire going away that is one good ball!!

As far as the "true dry lanes ball" goes....i think the problem is that people dont search for the oil on the lane often enough ( my opinion ). Most people tend to want to camp out in one spot. Everybody keeps begging for a Urethane ball or a re-make with an old cover....but what you dont realize is that they just wont sell good enough. You guys are in the minority of looking for that ball reaction. 90% of todays bowling population is looking for more hook,not less. My reccommendation is to either learn how to get deeper on the lane, or learn how to adjust hand/speed positions well enough to use existing product lines. I still use a Jolt Pearl when neccessary ( accu-tread ), but i havent found a need for anything weaker than that. Besides, on todays oils the older covers just dont work as well in general. I know there will be 50 people say " but my Trauma Recovery still works great". Again, these are in general comments and not true for everybody
 


I defintely agree with this, unless the lane is completely stripped, there will be a way to get it down to a reasonable break point, especially on a THS.

Jeff Carter - Nice response about bowlers wanting a dry lane ball and not addressing their physical game as the remedy. I have a Big Hit Pearl that I have not seen a lane dry enough lately. It's only real use it to shoot the 10 when the lanes are curving, note, it's still not dry enough for it when the lane blows up. LOL And what ball is going to be close to the reaction of the Agent because that ball is like the X-Factor of old...it just does something different.

The Dimension is a must with the success of the Cell, what Storm staffer was not in R&D's ear saying "I WANT THAT LOOK!" At least I have a Fired Up sitting in the basement, blank and ready to replace the one I am throwing now.

I am going with R2S since it's the pearl Rapid. Plus, why offer R2X on a Fire Line product, that's stepping on the Premier Line's toes.

I believe the Rapid Fire Pearl is going to be R2S. The Dimension will be X solid.

Personally I would love to see something akin to the Tour Power back. Low RG and Low diff isn't something you see much of now, all the low RG balls are high diff.

I must say I want to see this new Storm ball, the cool little graphic on the storm website has me wondering when we'll get a peak of what it looks like...

The Rapid Fire Pearl is R2S and the Dimension will feature the R2X Solid ( 2000 abralon )

As far as the dry lanes ball comments....i'm not saying that certain people and certain centers dont have a need for a Urethane ball, but no distributor would touch them...they just wont sell domestically anymore. Its strictly a supply and demand issue folks. Without a TON of demand, there is no need for a supply
