AZO and Storm???
« on: October 23, 2004, 06:37:51 PM »
I found this very strange, this new ball by AZO called the radical power seems to have the same wieght block, or extremely similar core to the original trauma. The thing is though is that Hammer/Ebonite makes AZO and legend star balls too now if I am not mistaken. Here is the info on this ball. The Legend Star website seems to be giving me some trouble at this moment:

You are probobly thinking that that block does not look similar to the trauma weight block, but that is the silver colored one, the original one looks very similar. To see a picture of it, go to www.gzonebowling.com and click on the purple storm button.  Go to where the picture of the trauma is and click on the small link next to the name of the ball in parenthesis, not the picture. I cannot provide a direct link of this flyer. Does anyone know if this is just a rip-off or is storm helping make these balls to now? Thanks...

The core is completely different from the Trauma.  The AZO name is used by Legend Star overseas.

King Pin, dynothane products have close connections with storm, though I do not remember exactly what they are, and have shared cores before Take the element for example. The element core is almost identical to the skybolt/power bolt core, and was first by storm by storm, and the same applies in this situation.

To answer your other question and clarify my point, AZO is or was bieng made overseas by ebonite and has been for a little less than a year, this is why this question was brought up. This ball is very new or may not be released yet.

PS: The black dynosaur has a modified perfect piece core in that picture...
