El-Nino Returns Reviews
« on: December 19, 2008, 02:36:51 AM »
Anyone have reviews or experience with this ball?  It seems very unpopular for some reason.

It was made for Cheapbowlingballs.com not a distributor so there are maybe a few hundred out there total.

I e-mailed Storm about the coverstock since I was curious, all they said is that it's in the same family as the original Reactor, just weaker.

That's all I know of THAT ball.  I do know that the core in that ball is one of my all time favorites.

I guess it wouldn't be safe to purchase then since no one has experience with it.  All well. :/

I had one and liked it. It rolled a little smoother than the original and also hooked more.

I had 2 of them and liked them both.  The core used in the Returns is one of my favorites.  Both balls I had a very skid/flippyhockey stick reaction I toned the cover down to 2000 no polish and the balls became very smooth and readable, but still had backend recovery.  If you are thinking about buying one, I don't think you will be disappointed.
