Which 900 Global balls have been produced in the Storm factory??
« on: January 02, 2015, 08:15:51 AM »
I know the Moxie was produced by Storm, I'm just curious what other 900 Global balls were also included since Storm purchased them in February 2014.  Thanks

No AMF. How you know is if they are using the S/F coverstock naming scheme, or not.

Break Down does not use a Storm cover.

Ok, I don't understand 900 Global then. So some of their equipment will be produced by Storm but others won't?? The Respect and Break Down are being being released at the same time

Track900,

It's using the S70 cover from the long line of awesome Break series balls. Those were all poured in SA, not Utah. I believe their HP releases are the only ones being poured in Utah.

If they just do it for the Break series to keep the similar ball shape characteristics then I understand that. but if they bounce back and forth between 2 different manufacturers, I think it would make it tough for a consumer to build an arsenal around their brand.

Not necessarily. You have a following for Global that will buy the Breakdown because they have the previous releases and are looking for something to go to when they breakdown, pardon the pun. Add that to the fact that they do pour some storm releases so it wouldnt be hard to build an arsenal at all.

They're sharing factories. Storm has tri color capabilities, so those 4 get made there. When I visited the SA factory in 06, they were pouring Tropical Storms. No big deal.

I'm just saying that as long as an entire line is produced in one factory, then it won't be to much of an issue, but if they start pouring similar cores in their product line in 2 different factories then you will see a big difference in the shape characteristic of the line.

Storm has outsourced their lowest line reactive and plastic balls, so that the Utah plant can attempt to keep up with demand of their mid to high end balls.
