Has Storm ever made a ball with the Reactor cover and an Asymetric core? Sounds like a good idea on paper to me.

Slopsuprise...no they haven't, but I'm pretty sure they will. The Reactor cover came out in the summer of '05 and positive they've already tested it with an asymmetric core for a future release.

Both Hot Rod Super Sports are listed as assymetric.

Have weight blocks that look assymetric but it must not be very strong of a mass bias as there is no mass bias mark on either!

Hot Rod Assymetrics...Super balls!

If you are looking for a great ball by Storm, the Passion is the best in their line-up. Drill the ball with the pin about 4 1/2 inches away from PAP and have the MB in its strong position and I swear you'll forget about that Reactor cover. If the ball hooks too much, use Storm Step 2 compound to kill the mid-lane - not polish!

Hey LuckyLefty!
Just because the Hot Rod Super Sports' have an asymmetrical THUNDER CORE doesn't mean that the ball is asymmetrical! The balls are just MODIFIED 2-piece's of the Thunder core which means that the "weight block" is not even dense enough to have a mass bias. Both balls just have a high density off-set puck. But...I'm pretty sure all 40K tournament winners know the difference between asymmetric, symmetric, 4-piece, 3-piece, etc. bowling balls. Please...

Like most "entry-level" balls, the core is asymmetric but only just. The MB is so weak that it's almost non-existant. Spin times for those balls is probably quite long, if they even spin up at all. Same with the Tropicals. There's not much point in even calling it asymmetric unless it has at least a medium-strength MB.

Not to start a pissing match but,
Sorry bro, I am not looking for an oiler. I have an oiler that I think is far more effective than a Passion on oil.

I personally think the Reactor cover is the best cover Storm makes or has made and I thought it would be GREAT with a STRONG assy. core!

I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE REACTOR COVER IS NOT THE BEST COVER STORM HAS, IT IS! THE REACTOR COVER IS THE BEST ON THE MARKET, BUT DON'T KNOCK A BALL YOU'VE NEVER THROWN. LOOK...I'M JUST TRYING TO GIVE YOU AN ALTERNATIVE. THIS IS THE BEST BALL IN THEIR LINE-UP. WHEN YOU ARE THROWNING TERDS YOU CALL BOWLING BALLS (i.e. Total Shock and Awe) DON'T EVEN COMPARE THAT BALL WITH THE PASSION IF YOU "THINK" YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. I'VE THROWN EVERY BALL IN STORM'S LINE-UP SO DON'T PATRONIZE ME.

No reason to yell but, If I wanted to ask a question about a Passion, dont you think that would be the title I would have had in this thread?

I dont want a Passion and I didnt ask a Question about the Passion! BTW, I have ACTUALLY thrown a Passion (you were wrong) and it was a decent ball, I just like what I have ALOT better. I have thrown both so, I KNOW what works for me! I could say to you, I bet you have NEVER thrown a TSA but, I am not going to stoop to your low level and assume things! I have thrown both, I do know what I am talking about and what works well for my game. You apparently have thrown every ball in Storms lineup, what does that even have to do with anything (scratching my head)

?? Do you think you should win an award for this or something?

? LOL!!!!! Someone make this man a plaque or trophy or something! Make sure it has a big douchebag on top of it! He is deserving of it!

Also,
What if I did patronize you, what do you plan to do about it?

First of all, nobody patronized you, and you had no reason to yell. Second of all, I, **In my opinion**, believe that the Total Shock and Awe is a much better ball for thick conditions than the Passion. So does BTM and Bowler's Journal as a matter of fact, according to their hook chart ratings and review panels. But that's another discussion for another thread. How about you spend your time NOT being a douche rocket, and stop hijacking people's threads for no reason.

Why are you even IN the Storm forum? According to your profile you're throwing AMF equipment... I'm not even going to comment on that. It's degrading in itself.

In the end, this thread is about the REACTOR coverstock, not the EOX. Maybe next time you'll actually READ the post in stead of getting your panties in a wad and your slinky in a kink about some friggin ball that has nothing to do with anything. You say that Slop throws "TERDS"? First of all, it's spelled T-U-R-D-S, and 2nd of all, YOU'RE THROWING AMF GARBAGE!!!! Get a clue.

You guys have got it all straightend out for me! Man I do have my panties in a wad! After getting great information from 2 people with a combined knowledge of the game of a startling 3 YEARS, according to your profile, I'm convinced! First off I was, approached to be Storm Staff I was grateful for it and still am. Second, I just thought after answering a question on a topic it wasn't going to be a big deal. I followed up my first reply with another because I saw your profile and it speaks for itsself - took a look at yours too BrooklynSlop, not impressed - just figured you might want an alternative with PROFESSIONAL help. Last, but not least, I was approached with a better deal through AMF300.

Yes I will admit I was hesitant to sign on because in the past their product line was terrible. BUT...if someone shoots a 900 series with a ball, I'm going to try it out. You know what it was worth it. The Radar is great but the Radar Lock is better. I have no disrespect for Storm. Their product line is awesome.
I have every Storm, AMF, Columbia, Ebonite, and Hammer product in my store - some Brunswick. You know what guys take some advice who knows more. I've thrown EVERYTHING. Try a product until you bash it into the ground, and I'm glad to say I do have that luxury which you guys don't.

AMEN! What a dumb douche.

Say what you will about my years of experience, strikezone_doucheantonio, but at least my profile is honest. How do we REALLY know you are an amateur staffer? You could be whacking at the mouth with all your vocal diarreah just like 99% of all the other people on the net. I've never seen a staffer with such a crappy and limited arsenal... I feel sorry for you. I see a strike zone pro shop in San Antonio, with the phone number being (210) 545-0303. Everybody call this tea-bagger! Apparently he knows EVERYTHING. (Cough cough DOUCHE cough cough)
