o.k. my fellow bowling fanatics...i just got my used and baked Storm X-Factor Triple Extreme drilled up yesterday at my local pro shop.the pin is about an inch from my right finger hole.the eye of the storm symbol is about 2 and a half inches below my finger holes.and the rad symbol is about an inch right under my thumb hole.i would put up a pic of this drilling but my camera isnt here right now...!!!now for the good stuff....i tried playing this ball starting on my normal mark.i stand one board left of the first dot on the right from the center dot on the approach.threw it out between the first and second arrow and the ball went snappy on the backend.move left one more board...same reaction...got down the lane and it went snappy on the backend.o.k. this baby needs some room...so i move all the way to the center dot and set up one board left of it.BINGO!!!starting at that mark and swinging the ball out to the 3 board...strike strike strike...!!!those lanes where freshly oiled and they are synthetic lanes and once i found the right line...it was on and poppin!!!!i was hitting the pocket with explosion and the pins went flying.i was throwing that ball so good....a guy bowling in a league to the left of where i was practising said to me was that a new ball!!!i told him no...my father-in-law gave it to me and i had it re-drilled.so i bowl in two leagues in the next two days...so i will be giving this ball it's workout!!!but i think it's going to be a good match me and the Triple XXX Extreme!!!maybe perhaps more Storm balls in the future!!!!

It's fellow Stormers or Storm Nation.  NOt "Stormites", that sounds like a wood eating insect.

o.k. "STORM NATION"...listen up!!!just a short update on how i did with my new(used)Storm X-Factor Triple XXX Extreme!!!first game....threw 7 straight pocket shots....left a stone seven first frame,three in a row,then a stone ten and the clencher...a pocket flush 7-10!!!threw a strike then another split and ended up with 180.made a couple of adjustments and ended up with 190 second game.threw more than a few bad balls that game.now for the steak and potatoes....263 last game...!!!!went front 4 then got stung on a ten pin...struck the next 5 then threw a bad ball and left the 2-8-10.and i promptly missed everything for a 263!!!so for the first time a 633 series aint bad at all for me.im averaging 195 in that league so it was a good performance for me.tonight i will give it another try in my thursday night league...and i can hardly wait..this ball hits like a truck!!!one thing about the changes i had to make to throw this ball.my usual speed on wednesday night is around 14 to 15 mph.with this ball my ball spee starting out was about 12.5 to 13!!!i believe i was throwing my other balls with too much speed instead of letting my arm swing naturally!!!!when i did that relaxed arm swing and stayed on my mark....BINGO!!!i was ripping the pocket up!!!so i have got to remember to keep my swing relaxed and my follow-thru on point!!!i will update my thusday results tonight or tomorrow...!!!happy bowling to all of the "STORM NATION"!!!!
