X-factor Ace?
« on: October 13, 2007, 02:54:45 PM »
What ball that is out now would be the closest to the Ace in reaction?

Is the Paradigm still out? Still, nothing is exactly like the Ace IMO. One of the BEST balls Storm ever made! It is still my go to ball and it covers most all conditions except heavy for me.

No doubt the Shift.  IMO the Shift is a better Ace.

In your opinion, what makes it better and what sort of a player are you?

Medium speed - medium rev. bowler who switches back and forth between a tweener and stroker as needed.  This is in my profile.

When I replaced my 2nd Ace with a Shift I was pleasantly surprised.  For me carry is more consistant on pocket shots. The reason I think the Shift is a better Ace is that the Shift reads the midlane more consistantly (the Ace was a bit longer even though it was a lower RG ball) and when the ball hits the Shift keeps the pins lower.

I thought for me the Paradigm was the closest to an Ace.  Boy did I love that ball!!!  I'm going to drill up a Shift this week after not throwing a Storm ball for over a year because I am die hard Rotogrip now, but nothing in their current lineup, and I have every ball they've made in the past 2 years, I think compares to a Paradigm or Ace for a skip snap reaction.  I hope this does the trick.

OK, I got ya. Based on my game I am not sure if I would agree if I threw one but, thanks for the comparision. All I know is I love the Ace!
