The durability of Storm coverstocks
« on: July 24, 2012, 08:00:10 PM »
Just curious on how durable the Storm cover stocks are compared to other companies? My pro shop guy says they have the worst cover stocks as far as ball death.. Any truth to this??

I have been throwing the virtual energy for 1 year now, probably with about 300 games on it. It was used when I got it and polished.  I put my other ball away because I was done throwing 16lb equipment and I havent seen barely any change.  All I do is use a microfiber towel and wipe it after every night I bowl.

Charlest said it. All reactive bowling balls need to be cleaned, oil-extracted and resurfaced regularly in order to perform well. And over time the performance of all reactive bowling balls will drop. That's my experience.

With any ball you buy,you have to match the ball to the condition you normally bowl on. because if you're using a High Performance ball on lighter oil shot,then it will look like it has ball death.High-end balls need lot of oil!

I own Storm, RotoGrip, Columbia, and Brunswick.  I haven't noticed any difference in durability of any of them.  Some balls seem to die after a while, and I have found out that just resanding with the final sanding (i.e. 4000) doesn't bring them back for more than a few games.  You have to take them back to the original grit (i.e. 500) then bring them back up for the OOB surface to last.  This is the same for all of the balls I use.
