Oh boy, in no particular order:

Horizon
Horizon Pearl
2nd Dimension (this ball was TITS)
Apocalypse (Again, TITS)
Depth Charge (this ball was literally unreal at times)
Furious

I remembered...

Rapid Fire. Twin V core + R2S solid. I feel like it got overlooked a little bit when it was out but it could get a lot of love now. To be honest pretty much all of the balls with the Twin V or Inverted Twin V would be on my list so Storm should bring that core back

How could I forget this ball, this one was good too.

Trauma Response, only because I like my current equipment and I could use a "fire the ball down the sidewalk" or "chuck the ball into the ocean" PoS ball for when I get frustrated.  :o

But my serious answer would be the RS-P. That ball was pretty darn good.

Atomic Charge!  Enjoyed it so much @ the time and did well with it too. Gave it away many moons ago. Talked my brother out of it and might have it back once again in the near future. Not so sure that it will give me the results that I had 13 years ago though, but will be nice to experiment with it to see what it can do once again after a re-drill.

Roto Grip-
Any one of the Defiant series balls
Horizon solid/pearl
Mystic
Epic Battle
RSP
Silver Streak
Cell
Assault
Retro Roto Blue( best dry lane ball no one talks about)

I was a late recruit to Storm. I viewed them from afar as a lot of my friends used their equipment, but constantly complained about ball death. It made me reluctant to try them.

Storm-
VG
Optimus
2nd Dimension
Secret Agent
Prodigy
Furious
Big Hit
Sun Bolt

For me, it would be the Vertigo.  I am sure it wouldn't move like it did on the oil I see today, but yea I really loved that ball.

I actually currently have a X-Factor Triple XXXtreme, but I would love to get one new in box, because the one I have was already drilled, and the pin is really close to my PAP, but I really love the motion the core gives me, plus it's a two piece.

Depth Charge.  Never matched up with anything else better. 


My son still uses my old Depth Charge.  It's won him a couple of tournaments & bails him out quite a bit.
