Paradigm Domination Review
« on: September 25, 2006, 03:59:22 PM »
Since the ball is not on this site yet I will post a review here:

Purchased the DOMINATION today from Mike Miller of 10 Pins and More in Rio Rancho, NM. Ball Specs are as follows: 15lb. 3oz. 3.12 oz of TW before drilling and a 3.0" pin, ball is laid out with pin above the ring finger and the RAD 3.0" right of Thumb CL with a weight hole 6.0" from grip CL through the CG.  Threw the ball on 38' of oil buffed to 45' with OB outside the 8 board.  Current lane conditions were after several games were thrown with plastic so there was some carrydown.  Compared this ball to my AGENT drilled pretty much indentically to this one.  OOB the DOMINATION is about 3 boards stronger than the Agent, but really revs up in the midlane.  The DOMINATION was evidently much more stronger in the midlane then the AGENT in which I thought had the most midlane of Storms current line-up (the DOUBLE AGENT is the exception).  
Overall this ball revs up beautifully and carrys extremely well, but like all balls still leaves the dreaded 10 pin.

I believe STORM has a winner in the DOMINATION!

Enclosed are actual pictures:

Yep, it picks up in the midlane and doesn't stop.

It looked like an Agent and a Spit Fire to me.

I would have to agree with Pat on his review. VERY strong on the backend!!! It is the best of the the paradigm and the Agent. 300,815 first night with it.

Bracer,

Are you saying that the Dom. features the Paradigm midlane with the Agent backend? If so, that ball would have to be awesome.

I saw one of these in person recently and I must say it is one of the best looking balls.

It kind of looks like an Agent with grey or black in it.  It also has some really sharp gold lettering.

It smells like spearmint gum!  Yum!

Ahoy there. I'm new to this world of ballreviews.com, and I'm glad I found this place. Thank you for all the wonderful reviews everybody

Now onto business: I'm in the market for a ball to pair up with my Passion, is this that ball?

Even if it's not, should I still get it anyway?

Let's see, it says you are a stroker with healthy ball speed in your profile.

I wish I had the authority to answer your question, but I don't.  This may help others answer the question though:

What other balls do you have/use currently in your arsenal?  Is it just a Passion?  Maybe based on the other ones you have they can recommend a good choice.
