Most Forgotten Storm Ball In The Last 15 Years?
« on: October 18, 2017, 12:16:41 AM »
What is the most forgotten Storm Ball in the last 15 years to you? Just thought this would be an interesting way to spark conversation about balls that sounded like a good idea but never caught on.

Pyro. Everyone remembers the Fired Up and Spit Fire. Twin V core with Reactor particle pearl cover. My dad has thrown his for years and it still reacts like new. Rolls great on medium conditions

I feel the Phaze is a forgotten ball, even though it may be well deserved.  The original batch had its problems and everyone dismissed the ball as bad.  Storm eventually got things fixed and the intended ball (subsequent batches) have been heralded by those throwing them.

Too bad the public gave up on it.

Don't know if the original Shift is very forgotten but it sure was a forgettable ball for me.  POS.

When was the El Niño Gold out?

That was a very forgettable ball imho.

Gravity shift which was the predecessor to the immensely popular Virtual Gravity.  More recently the Lucid, a tremendous tournament ball

Lucid sure gets mentioned a whole lot in articles and videos from five years back or so.

The Invasion sure got lost as soon as the VG Nano came out. And I made a ton of money on those bad boys...

How about the Depth Charge?  I always forget about it when people ask me my top 5 or 10 balls of all time, but I don't think I ever had more consistent success than I did with this ball.  I once even called my shot with it, struck the first frame, drove by a 9 the second, came back to the table and said, "well, no 300 this game, but 280 will still be nice."  I got teased for a bit until I was writing 280 down on the scoresheet at the end of the game.

What about the Vivid? Seemed to be lost in the Lucid shuffle.

How about the grand daddy of all Storm balls, the HSP Teal? I knew some guys that had it, and because we didn't know how to deal with reactives yet, they would shoot the lights out for a game or two and then completely lose it and shoot 130.

I guess this predates the 15 year timeline in the header. Don't mind me. Not paying attention.
