Storm losing its touch?
« on: June 21, 2017, 01:46:21 PM »
So I know I am in the storm section. Being that i own 6 storm balls. But does anyone feel like storm is starting to losing some ground? More and more I am starting to see Motiv around everywhere. This weekend i felt like i was the only one throwing storm in an entire house. Now dont get me wrong i love storm and my next purchase will be timeless or a Code Red but i just want to get some opinions out there and see if anyone is noticing the same.

I threw the Torrent at a demo days and I absolutely loved it. Like a ton. For some reason when I go to purchase a ball I tend to buy other things (ie; Sure Lock and Match Up Pearl). Now I've got about a full bag I'm looking to add the last piece. I really havent decided if its going to be the Hyroad or the Torrent.

I know that at the time Timeless way over shadowed the torrent and it ultimately suffered which I feel like it felt better in my hands. Maybe I should just keep an eye on what DOESNT get hyped by Storm and find the better releases?

I love that ball as much as my Blue/Green Centaur, if that is at all possible, and couldn't find one for love or money in 14 lbs. that I use now. I still have my 15 lb. original.

No, pretty sure that would go to Star Trak Force 10, the original Track before they got renamed.

True. Maybe we should handicap him and force him to bowl with one hand. :)

As a Hammer Head, my first ball that was not Hammer was the Timeless. After some tweaking with surface, I love the Timeless. I then purchased the IQ tour solid which I love also. It is toooooo many dam balls coming out, that they bringing back old releases. I am a new bowler and I do not want a ball that was out years ago, that the prices has been jacked up. Hell at least change the dam name. Just my $0.02.

Ya shouldn't worry too much about old releases coming out. The cores are not the same as the old ones. Ball companies are just reusing the current cores with new old names. It's the hype of an old name to get you to BUY a new ball.
