Not to mention more people on social media sites vs here. I believe this had a facebook page but it hasnt had activity since 2011.

Unfortunately the trolling goes into the social media as well.  Cant seem to get away from keyboard cowboys no matter what you do.  Had a situation yesterday where someone that goes by stormb28 had to troll me on the Beef and Barnzy livestream with Stu.  Had not been on there in a while and figured I would ask Stu if he thought Jakob should have gotten away from the Back Hammer when it clearly wasnt working.  Well.....here comes this guy with the comment of "Steven Vance is just as annoying on Ball Reviews as he is in here".  In the back of my mind I am asking myself where the hell did that come from.  But my response when Stu commented on his statement was that it was all good because everyone has an opinion based on what they see.  I thought my question was justified because we have seen Butturff struggle to win the past 3 years because of his reluctance to drop the urethane and pick up resin when clearly the urethane ball looked terrible.  At least try something different so you cant question yourself after youve lost.  But getting back to stormb28......seems to be one of those types of people who sits back and waits for someone to pounce on just because his opinion might be different than someone elses while laughing as he is in the process of throwing shade at somebody.  I dont get it.  Why people want to go out of their way to try and make them feel stupid in hopes they will leave and not return to a site blows my mind. 

To Stormb28......God still loves you brother!  If you get that "annoyed" when someone is just asking for a professional opinion or someone coming on here to help people out; then they are not the problem.

Storm Typhoon – WWRD 4/18/2025

Cover: Reactor Pearl Reactive
Core: Atmos + A.I.
RG: 2.53
RG. Diff.: 0.042
Finish: Power Edge
Fragrance: Grape Punch

Storm’s new Typhoon is a Pearl Symmetrical piece that is good for Medium-Dry Volume patterns.  PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 400.  Speed: 16.5.  Drilled this piece with the Pin up between the fingers and CG kicked out 1” from the palm.  I threw this piece on a Fresh 43’ house pattern.  Out of Box ball motion was clean through the fronts with a strong backend reaction through the pins.  I compared this to the Road Warrior.  Road Warrior was 4-4 left of the Typhoon.  Road Warrior has a sharper backend motion.  The Typhoon fits between the Road Warrior and the Tropical Surge Midnight.  This piece will be good for all types of styles.

« Last post by KevinEDavila on April 22, 2025, 03:15:14 AM »
A mild dish soap like Dawn is often recommended as it is gentle yet effective in removing oil and dirt without damaging the surface of the ball, simply wipe it dry and it is ready to use.

I made a video covering what I view as the most important things that both bowlers and parents should be aware of going into Jr. Gold season. As usual helping the youth is a collaborative effort so if you have anything to add, please leave a comment.

Your video provides a lot of details, thanks.

59030 - Storm / Storm Typhoon Review
« Last post by myers007 on April 20, 2025, 09:18:03 PM »
The new Storm Typhoon features the Reactor Pearl Reactive cover, Atmos A.I. Core, and Power Edge finish. This is the newest ball in the hot line and it's been a minute since we have seen a ball in the hot line. This ball has a RG of 2.53 and diff of 0.042 which we have not seen these numbers on a ball in a while. This ball will sit towards the bottom of the bag but is also going to be stronger than expected being in the hot line. This ball will be in the IQ Ruby and Road Warrior range strength wise but a touch cleaner with more backend than both of them. This will be a good ball when the lanes break down and you need the cleaner option to get down the lane but still have enough to get back. This is another fantastic release from Storm!

60089 - Visionary / Re: Sad news about the old Visionary plant and the Wonders….
« Last post by Nixa on April 20, 2025, 09:55:49 AM »
Yes Visionary balls were made at the Faball plant. Ironically, the Faball building burned about 2000. In 2003 the San Diego Ambassadorsto bowling visited Visionary and they were making bow ling balls in the basement of the Faball building after a fire burned the first floor quite extensively.

60089 - Storm / Re: Storm Equinox and maybe too much polish
« Last post by Nixa on April 20, 2025, 08:12:51 AM »
Just to follow up:
Took some polish off the Equinox but obviously not enough or enough surface.
With a 42 ft lane condition this ball is like the ever ready battery. It keeps going and going.  Then add in a little carry down and the ball is extremely inconsistent. Very over under.

I don’t know how Storm can say this ball is meant for league bowlers on a 38-44 oil pattern.  It’s not an answer for average league bowlers.  There’s way too much polish.  Yes take the polish off, I agree.  Put a little surface on the ball, I agree.  But out of the box it’s not meant for the average bowler.  It’s a sales pitch.

Now they said the Ion Pro was the ball first out of the bag.  Great for league bowlers.  In my opinion they were much closer to being accurate as compared to the Equinox. They just try to play “it’s a great league bowlers on ball” again.  Way too much hype.
