Why is there no storm hype for the lock?
« on: September 17, 2015, 12:21:21 PM »
It is out in less than 30 days. Why not promos, videos, etc?

Hype seems to be down everywhere. Honestly I feel like the industry is in a lull and no one is really doing anything radically different. I feel like every company is pretty evenly matched right now when you compare equipment

Storm pricing is getting a little high.  Might have something to do with it idk

I disagree with both statements.

In response, all the more reason to promote your product. If everything is evenly matched...then reach out to the customer and promote your products.  If they raise the price then they have more marketing dollars.

I agree it is more reason to promote. In my mind Storm and Roto promote new releases the least of any company now. They've become the Yankees/Patriots of bowling,  they now sit back and watch people flock to them and repeat buy on the brand alone

I remember when balls like the lucid came out they tried to hype the ball to be a great ball, yet wasn't really. Not saying the lock won't be but the only hype vid Ive seen is the one where they used with wesley low using a couple of locks with different layouts and surface. Also, I know its kind of beating the dead horse, but the price increase will affect sales, either for better or worse. But lets face it not everyone is gonna be thrilled to buy a $170 ball then pay for drilling.

I know that people's senses of smell vary.  Could be I got a bad batch.  It has a chemical smell to me.  Maybe you can go to a pro shop and "smell their balls"?  :) sorry, couldn't resist.

Watching Joshua Taijiri throw it the ball looked nice. I can't really think of what that ball reminds me of at this time. Definitely not just another high end asymmetric. It has a different motion to say the least. I kinda want to punch one.

It's got storms version of the critical theory written all over it.  Color, finish, probably numbers..
