Any new Hybrids?
« on: October 25, 2005, 03:39:11 AM »
Does anyone know if Storm plans on making any new hybrid equipment? My girlfriend throws the hot rod hybrid. This is a good ball for her, but for the most part, it revvs a little too early for her. I would suspect this could be the core, because she has slower ballspeed. But, I see a ton of versatility in the cover. Maybe a core with a higher RG with the hybrid cover?

Hmmm, I'd also consider your girlfriend's style (low track?) and the drilling. With a low track, the ball reaction can be very sharp in the backend. A female friend of mine had similar problems with her Eraser Boost and an Ebonite Tiger. They broke too early, violently, though carry was good. But the pocket was mostly out of reach... Then she recently received a Power Groove with the pin under the middle finger for a mild roll, and this works very good for her.

No, thats just it, high track = early rev. The break point isn't too sharp, it's the fact the ball revvs at 30ft and has no energy in the pocket. She plays outside. When she moves inside the oil, the ball doesn't recover.
