I've never used an El Nino, but looking at the #'s - low RG, High Diff Core, Solid Cover = Special Agent

If I remember correctly, it uses Accu Tread pearl with a pretty strong core. You can either say it is a Jolt on true steroids (MUCH stronger), but from the current balls my bet would be on the original Agent.

If they made the El Nino right now, it would be illegal, I remember that ball having a big ole differental. You might as well wait for the Dimension, that's going to have a "tuned motion", the same thing I remember being the big draw of the El Nino's.

I think the dimension or Special Agent is probably going to be the closest, The El Nino was one of there best balls behind the X-Factor which i do still have 2 of them.

El Nino was assymetrical, if I remember correctly (I know the La Nina was).

I didn't have much success with them (probably the only Storm ball I haven't had success with) but I was surrounded by people on league every week for years that did.
