Strider,  you took the words right out of my mouth.  but the ball does have a lot of red in it.  Steve got his at the seminar on Monday.  Got to use it today. Shot 750.  "This ball has backend"

Wow, $137 + 20 shipping with over 6 days left!  Seems like Storm has been hit or miss with their last few releases.

Who is Steve and is 750 a big set for him?  A lot of guys who get these balls early seem to average 230+, so 750 doesn't mean much without some history.  750 is big for most of us, but the shops getting these this early are usually far above average.

Yeah, X-Factor/Trauma/Domination.  Could be worse, could be flat bland colors like Ebonite.

Picture doesn't do it justice...maybe I can take one of mine and put it up by Friday-ish...

Ball is predominantly purple, but there are some definite hints of red and silver/charcoal...it looks really nice revving down the lane.

Really?  I've got one ball with Reactor pearl and another with R2S solid, and I love the performance from those covers.  Very predictable and controllable, but they don't burn up energy unless you really toss it out into the dry way too far.
