Does this mean the end of the EOX Coverstock?

I agree with you partly, my Orignal Paradigms are excellent wish I could say the same about the Passion (it died).  Tried to revive it using instructions directly from Steve Kloempken from STORM, but was unsuccesful.

First let me say: guys, please, if you dont like something dont come on here saying it "sucks". Just because you dont match up with it doesnt neccessarily mean that it sucks. We have had several balls that i didnt match up with, but i've seen other people just love the ball.

As for the new Paradigm, my guess is that it will be a bridge between the Paradigm and the Fired-Up. I like the idea of this ball a lot. The Reactor coverstock is very versatile and should look good on a strong mass bias ball

Hmmm.....from the rumors I heard a month or 2 ago I thought this ball was supposed to be in the agent series? Dosent really matter to me becasue I have been wanting Reactor with an Assy core! SWEET!

Hey Jeff i have an question how would u maybe compare it to an agent? Also as u said maybe a bridge how so like what would the differences be if you dont mind me asking. Also I have a paradigm that has not cracked and a passion and I love both balls very good.

I think it will fit between the Agent and the Paradigm, but I wonder if there is really a gap between these balls big enough to justify this one? To me, it is either an Agent with more pop at the breakpoint due to the high MB core, or a longer version of the Paradigm, probably closer to the Paradogm than the Agent.

Or is it an overseas release?

EOX definitely doesn't suck.  I've seen people do a lot of damage with it.  I am hoping to get a Paradigm at some point myself.

Then the new paradigm must be cheeper than the other two right? Since it has reactor cover instead of the Eox cover.

people bash storm cause of all the balls with the reactor cover. hell what about brunswick and all the 20 balls they have with some sort of activator. just because they call it reactor doesn't mean its not some different formula of reactor. the reactor on a pyro is different then the reactor on a diablo. if u don't like reactor, then shut up and don't buy it. keep throwing track stuff and stay on the track forum.

I really dislike people who say....this cover sucks....or this ball sucks....it is your oppinion...u dont need to tell everyone about it. especially on a thread about a new ball noone has ever seen. just because u see a cover u dont like ur gonna bash the ball....doesnt make sense to me.


Especially if you hang out in some other forum like the Brunswick forum and only come over to do a little bashing and then leave.  I would say at the very least explain why something sucks.  If no one in your CITY likes the Reactor coverstock, provide statistical data to support that.  

This way, instead of vague bashing we can talk about specifics.  Maybe people will agree with you, or maybe you were using the ball in the wrong condition (maybe a million things). If you don't actually give specifics, then it degrades into:

Brand X sucks!
No it doesn't!
Yes it does because brand Y rulz!
No brand X rules!

I'm getting sick of people who say a certain coverstock/weightblock/company sucks because they don't match up well to it.  I rolled a Paradigm and really don't match up to it that well except on long oil conditions because it appears to need a little more oil to get it started. Unfortunately, that's a condition that I don't see very often.   Having said that,  I'm kind of interested in the Paradigm Domination because I like the Reactor coverstock alot and think it'll match up really well with the RAD+ core.  Based on what Jeff said, we may see how well it rolls at the Masters next month (if one of the Storm staffers makes it to the show).

Well, I don't collect league sheets, but the 6 consecutive balls I drilled with Reactor were the reason I switched to Brunswick.  Some of you know I used to be a diehard Storm fan.  Reactor is the reason another Storm fan that I know hasn't bought a ball in over a year and a half.  It's the reason ANOTHER friend of mine is throwing Ebonite now.  I've had complaints out of people I've drilled balls with Reactor for, and these are people I've drilled 10+ balls for before that have had nothing but praise up until then.  A pro shop guy I know says there are no bad balls, just bad reactions.  I haven't seen a good reaction out of anything with Reactor except a Super Sport Pearl, and the Hot Rod Hybrid I had.  We have a nice variety of shots here, and it doesn't work on anything.  Accu-Tread and Monsoon always drill up like a charm though.  I wasn't getting on here just to bash the coverstock and leave, I was hoping I might find a ball here or there that Storm makes that doesn't have Reactor on it so I can give my friend a few more options.  He's got a Paradigm, and likes it, but it hooks out of the house.  Think he got a Jolt solid, but he would have liked more options than that.  Yeah, Brunswick puts Activator on a lot of stuff, and I've seen people not like balls with that cover, and I haven't liked a ball or two with it myself, but I haven't seen or experienced the mass dislike or lack of success with it like I have with Reactor.

Not to stir the pot or anything, but Brunswick put Activator on the Infernos and Zones, their high-end lines.  Their mid-priced and low-end equipment had PK18, PK17, and a couple of non-Activator particles.

hey now, lets not rip people for not liking the reactor.  I don't know about the solid but I don't care for the rediculas flip from the fired up.  Something between the forever great accu-tread and the reactor pearl would be good by me.  I personally won't be grabbing another reactor pearl ball, that doesn't mean others won't go for it.  I am just not a fan of the stuff at this point.

In regards to the picture of the Domination, Storm sure likes to use the blue/read combo, don't they?  Of course, color scheme really doesn't matter and if it did I wouldn't have never purchased my Double Agent.

Can someone give me a sample of balls with the Reactor coverstock.

I cant remember the last new Storm ball I bought---its been awhile. Been thinking about getting a new toy and have to figure out what direction I want to go in.

By the way, I have no problem with people saying "This sucks", as long as immediately after they say "For me". Some peoples vocabulary is reduced to many single syllable words---This Sucks For Me---4 single syllable words, not hard.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. The Reactor covers have been very successful for Storm. I have seen the Domination and have talked to Storm's R &D. They have always been completely truthful to me. The Domination ball tests revealed great results. Storm took their time tweaking this cover. I can't wait to get one. When I do, I will be sure and post.

P.S Hampster, I will put the Reactor or EOX cover up against anything from Brunswick.
