I've been wanting one of these joints ever since I first seen Belmo on tv using it. I would email storm periodically about the ball but they would not say too much except its an overseas release. So glad we got it here now!

Anyone with a layout suggestion?  I know it has a dynamic core, but it only has a 1" pin, 3oz top.  I am thinking pin/cg stacked under the ring finger which would be about a 4.5" pin-pap distance.

Mine is on the way, should be here by Thursday. As to layout, stacked under the ring should work, as long as you're not a super high tracker(track right against the ring finger). I suppose a rico layout would work, too..
 
Edit: Mine came in today, pin-out of 0, 2.5 top, so I went with a label shift. I didn't get a chance to throw it today, so tomorrow night it'll get its first test.

I wonder if Belmo has been using the same one for sometime now or if he gets a new one pretty regularly.

Mines great, i went with a label shift as well.  A bit of a FIGJAM here, i never shoot 300 with a new ball "first game out of the box" like it seems everyone does.  I did have a 300 in practice with this.  It allows me to bump against the wall on my THS very nicely.

LowRG, what do you mean shooting a 300 in practice with this ball?  How in the heck are you able to bank this ball on a THS; it's a spare ball, nothing else?  I have the blue Team Storm ball, had it for some time now.  It comes from the factory finished at 3500 grit.  Like I said, it's a spare ball, rolls straight just like it's supposed to do.  Anyone who is buying this ball as a hook ball is nuts.

Some places are dry enough or burnt out enough that you have to throw a spare ball for a strike shot. I shot 758 with a Roto Grip clear Grenade. Mind you urethane was too much

I'm in the process of trying to find out where I fit in the bowling world. I do not know my tech specs of my game, but it's all a learning process.

My rev rate is on the higher end of the spectrum, and yes, my fresh THS is dry outside.  Not that hard of a concept to comprehend.
