Overall, the XXX-treme did not seem to be well received. However, from my own observations, I think the ball is more than worth picking up for such a low price. The ones that I saw in action were very smooth and continuous with a lot of hitting power. I'll tell you what, if you don't want to pick it up (for the price of shipping), I'd gladly take the ball off  his hands.

You stay out of this, Bunnie! Pick yourself up a Paradigm; it smells like Trix

No way!  The Paradigm doesn't smell like Trix or I would already have it.  While you mention it though, the XXXTreme smells like delicious strawberries.

All Storm solids seem to react well to surface adjustments, probably more so than any other brand I've used. (Same good qualities for Storm-poured products like Roto or older DynoThane balls)

I'm convinced you could take the Curelyon or AccuTread cover stocks (XXXTreme is AccuTread), drill as many of the same ball with either coverstock as you want, and you could make infinitely varying balls with identical drills just by changing the coverstocks.

I can't imagine how a ball with the same chassis as the Triple XXX could be bad!

I always thought they looked good on the lanes!

REgards,

PS I love my deuce built on a slightly weaker chassis!

My personal opinion,

The XXXtreme was one of the biggest turd balls Storm ever made. Storm makes GREAT stuff but, that aint one of them!

I want a ball that will make me look like Steve Cook!

REgards,

PS how come the Deuce was SO good...this with same coverstock and just one extra puck considered soso or worse?

I don't understand why this ball is a "turd" like you said.  It has ACCU-TREAD cover and the RAD core.  I am serious, I don't get why some people say this ball wasn't good.

I bowled my 1 and only 800 with this ball, and refuse to get rid of it.  If there is ever a night where I am just lost, I pull out the XXXtreme and usually get lined right up....

One of the most consistent balls I have ever owned....

Luckylefty, you are going to have to add some height and lbs. first, and then we will look at a ball for you....
