My triple X factor worked great until I resurfaced it. It was never the same. It lost some of its reaction shape and it wasn't as good in heavier oil afterwards either.

Haven't used many high end storm lately but from  what I see out there they are holding up very well especially the paradigms.

Im on Staff and have a bunch of equipment like the HotRods/Original Paradigm/Fired-up things like that and the reaction has held up very well.The reactor cover seems to be long lasting just keep using react-a-clean and or resurface your equipment with the method that storm provides with each ball.

I had a Triple X Factor and it only recently died after 3 years of on and off use. But I do think that it's not dead but rather the way it's drilled...after I got my latest ball I went to a new driller who checked the Triple X's drilling and then redid it on his measure ball dealy and he said the Triple X was wrong. And now that I'm throwing my new piece all the time, when I go to the Triple X I can't hold it right b/c the span isn't quite right. I'd like to plug it and redrill it if I get the extra cash (I'm a poor college kid ).

This is really an old ball.  My Fear Factor.  The ball still has its hooking and hitting power, just like it was brand new.  It's very good on heavy oil.  The key to high end stuff, is just keeping it clean. Don't be lazy.  Balls are not cheap!!!!!!!!!
