You might as well wait for the Dimension, that's going to have a "tuned motion", the same thing I remember being the big draw of the El Nino's.

Post by: mrbowlingnut on May 20, 2008, 03:56:11 PM: I think the dimension or Special Agent is probably going to be the closest, The El Nino was one of there best balls behind the X-Factor which i do still have 2 of them.

Post by: JessN16 on May 20, 2008, 05:47:02 PM: El Nino was assymetrical, if I remember correctly (I know the La Nina was).

I didn't have much success with them (probably the only Storm ball I haven't had success with) but I was surrounded by people on league every week for years that did.
