I just returned to bowling after about a 5+ year hiatus. I've found great success using Storm's current product line and I'm always willing to punch up another ball out of Utah.
I was thinking of getting the new Gravity Shift, but my teammate recently drilled one and it looks way too strong off the spot for me (works great for him).
As luck would have it, my driller got a shipment of original Paradigm's.
He punched it up for me Friday night, with a layout of Pin 45x5.25x30, this put the pin above my fingers.
This ball is super smooth! It rolls like no other pearl I have thrown. Reads the mids and rolls right into the pocket.
This ball is so smooth down lane. It moves hard off the dry, but never over-reacts! Exactly what I wanted to fit between my Rapid Fire and T-Road Pearl.
Shot 269 first game, 207 second game (ball was burning up and hitting flat), put it in the bag and used my T-Road Pearl for 221/697 clean.
Saturday night league, I used the Paradigm for 238-268-243=749. I had the last 9 game 2 and front 8 game 3. A pocket 7-10 ended a streak of 17 in-a-row and my quest for back to back weeks with 300-800 on this league.
Anyway, just wanted to share my experience with a new, oldie but goodie!
