Suggestions for extra ball?
« on: September 27, 2005, 08:14:26 AM »
I currently use a hot rod pro stock 15 lb, and just purchased an x factor ace.  Looking for a third ball to help round out my arsenal.  Any suggestions?  I bowl 17-19 mph, tweener style, med revs, right handed.  Med to med- heavy lanes.  Thanks,

You need something stronger or weaker than the Ace?  In my experiences with the Ace, it's a lot weaker than it's supposed to be.

Screamin' Banshee or Hybrid, if you are looking for something lower.

I have a Storm Diablo and it is a bit more aggresive than my Ace.  Check it out!!

Are the triple x factor or xtreme better than the ace?  Isn't the diablo made for med to light oil?  what drilling would be good for my ace.  17-19 mph, tweener, med revs.

I'd say wait on the Paradigm.  I think the Vertigo or Trifecta would be too large a step up.  Even though I hated my Diablo, I think if you drilled one stacked, that SHOULD give you what you're looking for.

GET A TRIFECTA! I'm telling you, don't mess with the Vertigo; The Diablo is too close to your Ace; and the Hot Rod Pro Stock is pretty similar to any medium oil ball Storm makes. TRIFECTA is your answer. I see a weakness at the bottom of your spectrum, however. I throw a Screamin' Banshee, and have found it to be pretty strong... Stronger than what you need at the bottom. Consider something like the Storm Big Hit Pearl for drier lane conditions. I personally throw the Brunswick Power Groove Dry/R on light oil, but since this is the STORM forum, I thought I'd plug the BHP. But, again, GET THE TRIFECTA ASAP! I think it's Storm's BEST heavy oil ball BY FAR.

Some people say that Bowling is a lot like Golf.
It's fickle and precise, not to mention that the equipment is especially important.
I've been known to break golf clubs and throw them in lakes to take out my frustration...
Do you think I'd get in trouble if I chucked my X-Factor through the pro shop window?
