30th anniversary ball unveiled...
« on: June 26, 2015, 03:04:58 PM »
White pearl cover with all the Storm logos from the past 30 years. Don't know what core is being utilized... but only 30 are being made, not available to the public. It's more of a thank you to those close to the company from its beginnings when the company was known as High Score Products (HSP).

They had Quantums and Zones. They were made by Brunswick.  I'm pretty sure my Double Helix had filler

Kid...I was only talking about the Quantums that Bowlingball.com had remade for them. I don't think either Helix was remade....but I could be wrong. I think it was the Violet, Fire, Raven, Navy.......maybe more?

I know the regular Sage, Midnight Blue, and Double Helix had filler...could be more...The Violet might has as well.

No they didn't remake the Helix line.  I'm just saying that most went to using fillers and standard production because you could use one core for multiple weights. It was still a remake of those original bowling balls,  and very popular ones at that,  but the market for those is small.

Most aren't going to pay $109-129 for a remake of a ball that can be bought today in a lower price point. If they would companies would be taking advantage of it asap.

Agreed. Not trying to argue that point at all. Was just stating the bowlingball.com remakes were not identical to the original released Quantums.

Well I see Storm has announced the release of 2 new balls in the fall but no mention on releasing the 30th anniversary ball to the public. Anyone know if they are still considering releasing this ball?

Probably not,  since the attention is gone along with the negative publicity

It wasn't intended for the public so my guess is no.  I think they're flipping dumb, but that's besides the point.

That's like apple releasing a special edition iPhone...but only giving it to rich people or movie stars...

After the backlash they received when they unveiled it they made the comment on Facebook "We appreciate everyone's perspective on this and we are now considering producing this for all of our loyal fans." Well I am one of their loyal fans that has been buying their equipment since the beginning and I would still like to purchase this ball.

Ok I guess I'm going mad
I could have sworn that I saw a post (FB maybe) yesterday
for a 30th anniversary Teal version that would be produced for everyone
but now I can't find it
similar core and cover to the Marvel if I remember right

A reliable source told me that it is coming but it is just a reissued repackaged marvel pearl.

R2S is different than the R2X on the marvel pearl.  This is the bridge between the IQ Tour pearl and the marvel pearl right?
