Good luck with it.  Can you actually buy it in shops or is it just Storm Shops and Staff?

I was supposed to get mine last night but I had to work late and didn't get over to the pro shop. So has anyone had a chance to throw this ball yet?

I will tonight Jim, btw some more interesting info from my pro shop guys that master line balls are going back to symmetrical designs. Storm is doing this to make the master line different from the paradigm line, i can tell you this ball looks exactly like the original x-factor.

I think this storm's answer to bring back the x-factor but this time with a symmetrical core in it.

Also Rotogrip's high end  balls are trying to go head up with Morich balls, they feel they that the market is there to increase there sales dramitcally. I have the Battle and agree it is very good ball, so i understand Boomershine's idea to grow there line.

Just got mine yesterday, and yes it sure looks like the original X-Factor, Still thinking which ball to drill, the Agent or the Horizon.

Used it last night fried heads ball motors back from deep lines like an x-factor does, my hunch it was storm's new version was right on. This ball has very sharp backend reaction the fired up believe it or not is a step down. I had this and a legends masterpiece and a amf venom with me, all pin to pap with 1/2 inhc or so.

The venom is longer and more mild backend wise probably the pearl particle i would guess, the legends masterpiece was smoothier because i really high glossed the ball i did like the roll of it but it was way more direct to carry with it.

The agent can do different thing i have a lefty friend who had his drilled with a 2 1/2 pin to pap cg out at 45 degrees drilling, his was smooth and continous. He had more oil on the left side so that and his drilling helped him get down the lane and then the ball turn over for him at about 48 feet or so.

My agent was move as far inside as you can and send it out kind of hook power, this ball reminds me a lane buzzsaw XL i used to own. I could move left and send it out and know it was coming back if dry help was there, i have the new cobalt and it does not for me have that exact reaction.

IMO it is stronger and earlier fired up and i think since it is symmetrical drilling options increase, if you hit the pocket it will carry very well. I had 10 pins get slapped from the 6 coming out of the gutter 4 times, usually the 6 pin for me stays down. It was funny 2 of them was after i turned around thinking i left a solid 10 pin, great hitting power. The days of the X-Factor have returned and storm lovers quit paying high prices to find a new one, this ball will outhook it on the backend.

I used it again this morning on fried lanes at sam's town, again i was able to move inside send it out wide and watch it roar back. I never had it once not recover i was inside of 4 th arrow which for me is very very rare, this ball is bad bad ball. If you cant hook one these with a proper drilling for you do yourself a favor and go back too plastic hahaha
