STORM - Any Benchmark Ball Recommendations?
« on: July 25, 2006, 04:09:02 AM »
Hello to all!

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a Storm Benchmark First Ball out of the Bag type ball on most Medium Conditions.

Current line would be great, but recently discontinued or retired balls would be fine as well.

Thanks and take care!

Oh forgot to add it in the PM Ramtart, the Thunderstruck solid comes at 1500 grit polish, it looks lightly polished but believe its a good medium oil ball.

My choice is a Highly Polished Paradigm with a 4" Pin or my Highly Polished Dark Thunder with a 3" Pin.

Pyro. Hands down. Reads the lanes better than any Storm ball I've ever thrown.

I would say the Pyro since it's a medium ball.

IMO the pyro would be too much, the ball is just crazy strong on mediums.

From the current line-up, I'd say the Fired Up or, 2nd choice, the Diablo. Both symmetric cores, Reactor coverstock.

Almost everyone of the above replies makes me wonder what the authors interpret a "benchmark ball" to be ?????

I think the Thunderstruck Solid would be a good benchmark ball.  I agree that the Pyro is a little too strong.  The Diablo is probably a little too dull for that purpose and the Fired Up is too skid/flippy (at least mine is).  I'm waiting for my Thunderstruck to come in, so right now my benchmark is a Lane #1 Tsunami.
