Old low speed low rev stroker here.  Looking at stuff in the Global line to replace or compliment some balls in my tournament arsenal.  I currently throw a Hyroad nano, Marvel Pearl, Blue Vibe, and pitch blue. 

Honey Badger has appealed to me for awhile, and a couple of straighter players have really gotten a good look from it on my league shot.  I would probably use it to replace or compliment the Marvel.  Other ball that captured my attention is Desert Ops.  It looks like something that might let me olay straighter from outside on shorter patterns, when the urethane is struggling in carrydown.

Any thoughts or alternative recommendations would be appreciated.  I have thrown more storm than anything since the glory days of Brunswick Zones, but kind of love hate on much of the storm stuff.

Stronger in the sense of being able to get a little deeper on a house shot than with the Nano or Honey Badger.  After more research the Continuum might be a good option.

Honestly, I think the Dream On is better for this role. I haven't seen the remake much though so that's the only thing I don't know about.

Dream On definitely has response downlane. Haven't thrown the new one, as my first one is still going strong 3 years later, but I'm also going to go 45*5*65 with some.surface to get a different shape.
