Word on the street
« on: February 23, 2015, 03:38:11 PM »
I've heard that the word on the street is that Storm are going to be releasing a new ball into the Hot Line at the end of April.

Coverstock: Reactor Hybrid Reactive
Weight Block: Cruiser Core
Ball Colour: Scarlet Red/Platinum Pearl
Fragrance: Paradise Punch

That's all i've managed to scrounge off the net so far, i'm interested to see what the core does on this one and how it will compare to the lights out which personally i loved.

After seeing it now, not interested anymore.

 I wish they would have stuck with the Turbine core or just raised the RG of the Turbine core. High RG and low diff hasn't rolled too great for me in my 2 attempts with the RG Shout and Motiv Ascent Apex

went to the storm site and just for fun I tapped in my info on the matchmaker section....Matchmaker selected the Ride for me...  :D
 :o
the logo looks more like a metrosexual design to me.... goes with the tight shirt, tight pants, and white belt..nothing wrong if you like to shop at Banana Republic...it's only wrong if you're fat like me and wear these tight clothes....lol

Not a great logo similar to the dude route dv8 went.   All manufactures do this with logos that kill the look of a ball

Core looks like they borrowed from Track/Amf/global using the Triton core

Of course, it's the next great ball. We discussed this in a thread a while ago. :)

They'll learn when EVERYONE else makes a better 95 dollar ball. I'd rather throw 200 down and get a exclusive vibe than throw that..

Bill just sold two infrareds today and for less then 200 each lol. I think this a good ball with a proven core shape……. But the logo will cost it on sells.  Just a plain The Ride would have been enough or Ride.

Seriously children? There are balls out with Monkeys, brains, a guy who when flipped upside down looks like male genitalia, a ball called a "Thug" and another called a Bad A$$. Yet, people are complaining about a semi entry level ball called the Ride, with a "70's groovy" theme on it? The target audience, newer or lower level bowlers, don't care that it has a new weak core or whatever else anyone is complaining about. Storm will likely discontinue the Lights Out and keep the Wipe and Punch in production for another 6-8 months, leaving plenty of performance available for the price. Some I feel are complaining just to feel heard.

The name of the ball isn't the greatest. However, I agree there are worse names out there. I'm still going to purchase this ball because I've been hoping for a ball that falls between the tropical breeze and Punch out and/or Hy Road pearl. I'm excited to see this release.

I dont throw storm but think its a less then good logo,  name is the norm.  When talking sells it is a factor and does matter. You want a complete package and many companies miss with the logos for balls released. 

Many tkkshop list I agree on completely.

Is the logo cheesy? Yeah, kinda. But we have seen worse. Will the circle with Ride inside affect the reaction? Nope.

When you have the majority of the market share all u can do is lose it.  This release will not gain or even maintain ground.  Just saying. Poor move by the marketing dept.  It ain't my job to design  a ball, but I can definitely go buy something else! :)  this is worse than Brunswick's 'brute' with the phallic logo on it. 

Like I said, I'm glad it's not my job!
