how strong is the rapid fire?
« on: April 24, 2008, 11:58:03 AM »
I have heard from many sources that the rapid fire is much stronger than advertised.  It sounded at first that it would be a great fit between the fired up and the spitfire, as it has the FU core with a solid cover.  But some even state that it is as strong as their gravity shift or shift.  For those who have thrown it side by side with some other storm equipment, whats a comparison and how is the reaction shapes different.  I am actually debating on drilling two of them up and putting different surfaces on them.  One for sure pin above bridge, and the other to complement it?  Any suggestions?

Mine fits between my Special Agent and Sure Fire.

Here's the order I rank my equipment:

Cell
Special Agent
Rapid Fire
Paradigm
Sure Fire
T-Road Pearl
Street Rod Pearl
Ice Storm

I would go along with JMORRIS. Thats how I rank mine as well.

The core gets the Rapid up the lane pretty good most of the time, especially with the box finish if you choose to keep it like that. When it hooks, it really goes sideways for me. Thats the balls strength, when you need a ball to make a hard turn left the Rapid does the job for me (provided there isn't so much surface friction it rolls out).

never give up

The Rapid Fire is a strong ball I use
mine on all the name patters.
I use this ball more then any ball in
my arsenal. I have 14 Storm balls in my arsenal and it's the
best ball for me around.
