I recently got a great deal on three balls- a Disturbed,
a Berserk, and a Wrecker.
Right now I have a Mutant cell pearl,and Storm Crossroad already in the bag.
My main concern is will the Berserk and Wrecker overlap any? I am a cranker,
420-440 rev rate, 17mph speed(monitor), with 13* of tilt and 60-70* axis rotation.
So for those who have both the Berserk and Wrecker, how much of a gap is between them?
-
If anything, the Crossroad & Berserk will overlap.
-
Okay cool, if that's the case I will pass the Berserk on to my wife.
-
thats not a bad looking house patter arsenal. MCP, disturbed, crossroad, wrecker
-
I missed out on the Cell series as I was locked in with another couple of companies in that time frame, I am very impressed with the MCP on a THS. There are times where I need something under the MCP yet more than the Crossroad, and I think the Disturbed can fit there.
-
The wrecker is where its at!!!
-
I think it's a pretty good arsenal. The Berserk and CrossRoad will be the closest. However the Berserk will handle some heavier volume compared to the CrossRoad. You could just adjust layouts to account for it and easily be able to use all 4 on most conditions you'd face.

Thanks for the replies guys, I am pretty stoked to be back throwing Storm/Roto again. I knew I made the right choice when I bowl 780 off the press with the Crossroad a few weeks ago lol.
I have the Crossroad at 4 x 3 with a 2" pin buffer, and 1500 polished. It's the first ball out of my bag right now, but one house in particular puts out a ton of volume so typically I go with the MCP there. The MCP is 5x5 with a 3" pin buffer and its at 4000 no polish.
I haven't done tournaments recently, but I feel the Crossroad will be a great tournament ball, just because its so smooth and continuous.

You will be in awe of the DISTURBED, it will just blow you away!

The Disturbed is one of the best balls to come out of Utah in a while. I've seen enough to where I'm getting my own.
-
Given their oob surfaces, it could be a great 1-2, especially if the berserk begins to check too early.

I am thisclose to putting together a Utah arsenal. I was thinking Sync, Soul, Fire Road, Disturbed, Super Natural, Lights Out, Tropical Breeze, Mix.
I think that would be a complete arsenal. Any thoughts?

Sounds pretty good, but I wonder how close the Sync would be to the Soul, my buddy has the Soul and he said he needs a ton of oil up front to use it more than one game.
I tell ya, the more I see the Sync the more I like it. From what I have seen it is clean even for an upper end ball. But if I added to what I already have, I would definitely go with a Lucid, man does that ball look good every time I see it thrown!
-
The Sync reminds me of the SRC core in the Bank series. Numbers are very close. I love the SRC core.
I may just choose to keep it all Storm, and go Sync, Fire Road, Crossroad with some surface, Lights Out, Super Natural, Tropical Breeze and the Mix Urethane. Freakin Frantic looks pretty good too.
Of course, I need to stop throwing it like crap. That would help too. :P

Lol I know what you mean! Unless your dead set on the Soul I'd wait and see what the Sync pearl looks like, I have a hunch it will be a pretty sweet ball.
-
Heck, I'm not dead set on anything other than lessons this summer. I'm just thinking outloud. Last Storm ball I had was the Trauma ER. Tell you anything? I was all Track before the Ebo buyout, then flirted with Morich for a second, then started using 900 when they formed. Every Storm ball I've had has been great.

It is imperative that you start any arsenal with Utah based products with a HyRoad, first and foremost and build from there. Ive never been a big believer in buying 6 balls all at one time. Id buy in increments of two. For example, a Hyroad and Lights Out would be a good start. Roll those for a week and then add to your aresenal from there. If I recall correctly, you are from Illinois, im from the Northwest suburbs of Chicago and you will be hard pressed to find any volume anywhere in the upcoming summer months.
Two balls to keep under strong consideration are both the IQ Tour and IQ Tour Pearl. The Lucid is a great ball as well, especially playing to the right and swinging the track. Also, dont forget the Marvel Pearl, if you can find one. That ball is far and away a must have. I would not even consider the Fire Road an option. Not really a special ball, and the things that ball does particularly well, other balls do better.

The Sync and Freakin look pretty awesome. I am bowling a Kegel league in St Charles, and the first 3 weeks we're bowling on 48 feet of oil. So I'm good on volume lol.
-
I cant wait for the pearl version of the DISTURBED - I am sure it will be freakn unbelievable!

The HyRoad is a great ball, no doubt. It doesn't matter if you stick with OOB finish or if you change the surface. It just flat out works. That's why it has remained in their lineup for over 4 years.
