The original X Factor. This is the stuff legends are made of, I have recounted many people telling me this ball is awesome and it carries so well.  But none could ever really tell me why, they always claimed it just was because you didn't question a ball so great that it made believers out of so many bowlers.

I just recently was given a storm x factor by a friend and plugged the fingers and re slugged it was off to the races. I practiced with it once on friday just after drilling it and i was very impressed at how versatile the ball was and responsive to changes in hand positions and moves on the lane.

Last night first time with it in league, during the 15 minutes got comfortable with it and was ok to go, 257-254-300=811 later i was extremely comfortable with the ball.

I'm a believer and i can't tell you how the ball does it, but it does.

my 5th 300 in 2005 (lifetime as well) and my 2nd 800 in 2005 (and lifetime).

Thanks Danyck,Jonathan S, Mark B for the ball and advice. many thanks to storm.

Just wanted to post this incredible experience.

Ball was laid out pin at 4 inches from pap, directly on my span line about 3/4 of an inch below the bridge, and the RAD is in the strong position.

Congrats Dude.  That was a classic ball.  I second the pick on the Reloaded.  I liked that ball the best out of the X-Factor series.  It combined the midlane of the deuce with the recovery of the X-Factor and handled carrydown very well.  Try it(or that NIB Eraser I sent you )

Well since i have internet access i should update what i started. i drilled that eraser before the x-factor and the eraser has been in my bag everytime, and it's reliable and consistant.

this ball is indeed money and gets more use than any of my other stuff.
