Ball I REALLY want Storm to make
« on: September 04, 2007, 01:13:38 AM »
Over the past 6-7 years Storm has had a medium-lighter oil pearl particle ball.  From the Eraser Blaze, Eraser Pearl Particle, and the Ragin' Banshee Storm has provided a great solution in that space.  From my perspective this is the ONLY real hole in their current line up(some will argue the true dry ball is missing but let's leave that for another thread).

I would love to see a pearl particle version of the T-Road Pearl.  For longer - lighter oil patterns or broken down wet-dry shots this ball would be a great addition.

I agree, I'd love to see a low load particle pearl with the T-Road core.  Another one I'd like to see is the Agent core with the R2S Pearl cover.

I didn't really think about that but yes - that would be a good replacement for the Agent.  The R2S cover seems to go a bit longer than Reactor but with a stronger move off the breakpoint.  Both of those would make the Agent even better for me.

However, my original post was meant to highlight a spot in the current line up that is not served.  Both the Agent and the Domination fit the spot you are talking about - but I agree that a R2S pearl would improve the Agent.

Uh, wasn't the Tour Power already a solid Accutread just like the Jolt Solid?  So what you are really saying is bring back the Tour Power and maybe change the OOTB surface from 800 grit to 1500 polish?

Greenefam, take a Secret Agent and shine the heck out of it and you may have that light load particle you are looking for.

Not really, i knew it was the same coverstock, didn't know if others on here would, so i figured i'd say something that was a little newer, no need to change th box finish, i glass up almost everything out of the box anyway! but yea.... bring it back!

Do you really think so?  I hadn't considered it since it is a low RG ball.  

I used to own a Core Power LRG LE ball (the blue and red ball from the 2002 US Open) and when I polished the heck out of that ball it was only really usable on medium shots.  Even though I got some length the core was trying to get into the roll earlier than the cover wanted.  This left me with a strange early roll with the friction catching up later down the lane.

there are some older storm balls that sould be remade but this is just another idea for the cover stock. Who here remembers the eraser boost. If you put that cover on the troad core I think that would be awesome. The boost was good very strong and smooth. This combo could just be even stronger. If someone is saying bring back the tour power which I wish they would but then I want the trauma er or too hot back lol.
