Hi All,

I'm proud to present to you The Dimension Video from Storm.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHMPweaRZNA

My Take on the ball:

This ball is Sick...have you ever said to yourself, boy i wish my cell was a little cleaner through the heads and stronger in the backend?  Well if you have this is the ball you are looking for.  I didnt want to believe that this ball was 4 boards stronger in the backend than the cell, but its true...same continuation, same insane amount of total hook as a cell just MORE.

We are seeing a new revolution in ball reaction from the Storm and Roto Grip camp.  They are taking continuation and total hook to a new level folks!

I will be drilling up a few more of these to try surface adjustments and different layouts to see how versatile it is.  As you can see in the videos it is quite a bit stronger than the gravity shift...

Just be sure to find oil...this thing needs some volume up front, it didnt mind carrydown that much, but as long as you have a good amount of head oil you will be fine...

As always comments and questions are welcome

How does The Dimension compare to the Special Agent?  I love my ball reaction with my Special Agent but haven't found any place that requires more overall hook.  I got a Rapid Fire Solid.  Currently tweaking that one as it has a much stronger backend on the spot than my SA.

If it is more than the SA, then I know I need to stay away from this one as well for now.

Thanks

Steve

Looked no stronger than a cell but probably cost 50 bucks more.  IMHO only

It looked like it hooked about the same overall as a Cell, but it did it all on the backend.  It didn't pick up in the midlane as much.  Very different ball motion.  Not enough for me to justify getting them both right now (the Shark is probably the only time I need that much backend movement), but still impressive.

I wish i could do a video for you guys showing the difference between the Cell and the Dimension on the same lane, but because they are different companies i can not...the Dimension gets farther down the lane and makes a stronger move in the backend...the lane i was on played a bit tighter than when it did for the cell video...

can i see people having both the cell and dimension in the same bag?  maybe, depends how they are laid out and what the surfaces are at...but with all things equal especially on a flatter condition you will see at least 4 more boards on the backend with the Dimension...now if you are on a huge wall there may be some overlap!

All I can say is I think I found myself a replacement for my Paradigm Passion.  

Brit, have you tried one with a pin below bridge layout by any chance?

WOW!!! That is a very strong bowling ball. I think it is has a reaction close to the Secret Agent. Go long and have a huge powerful hook.

Sounds like a comparision to me ? So the Dimension is better then the Cell ?

Cool...I'll go ahead and pick up a Lanemasters ball.
