as much as I like storm, I think Scorchin would be the better way to go.  You've thrown it, you like it, so get one =)  Only gripe about that ball is that I hear it dies out quickly.

The Passion is a sweet ball.  I have seen it rock everything in person.

I love both balls but deffitally more hitting power in the passion and the scorchin dies very quickly like my ultimate did and many others

STORM JUST HAS DEVASTATING RESULTS!!!


The Passion has hitting power all around.  I've seen it used in several different conditions and it always hits hard.  I wouldn't use it in a dry condition though but as they say that's not what it is meant for.

The first time I threw my Passion the opposition thought I was throwing an illegal ball.  Own both the Scorchin and the Passion and the Passion is the first ball out of my bag when the lane conditions are right.  The Passion is just a super ball on HEAVY oil….

I've been debating between a Passion and an Epic Battle, I'm still not sure which one to get.  I saw the Scorchin in person and I wasn't very impressed, but it was probably the bowler, not the ball.

I've had two Infernos, the Absolute and Ultimate and both have died on me. I clean the balls after every set. Soak them after every 50 games or so. I've had over 15 balls and none have lost their hook as noticeably as these two. My proshop guy and many of his customers have said that their Ultimates died as well. I dont know, but I just dont like the Activator coverstocks longetivity. I love the reaction initially but after that, its gone.

For that reason, I'd recommend teh Passion. I've seen it in action numerous times and it is a strong ball.

My Scorchin Inferno had died on me too and that was with ball maintenance, its bascially no longer a heavy oil ball but it still works on a med oil pattern

However, I didn't but it for that purpose so yes I'm rather pi$$ed. I just got the EPIC from Roto-Grip to replace my SI and so far its one heck of a ball.

But for me I probably wouldn't use the EPIC for a heavy oil pattern as I would get the EPIC-BATTLE...now thats a heavy oil ball. Good luck with what ever you decide on.
