Title: Any oldies?
Post by: AlonzoHarris on December 27, 2017, 09:07:04 PM
If you had the opportunity to receive any discontinued Storm or Roto Grip balls, what would you choose?
Title: Re: Any oldies?
Post by: JPbowling151 on December 27, 2017, 09:21:33 PM
Original X-Factor, Cell/Cell pearl, Rogue Cell, Eraser, Fire Storm, and El Nino come to mind.

Looking at just the replies so far, I question why RG would stop making the Rogue Cell...I also question if the Hyper Cell Fused will be reminiscent of it.

Please keep the choices coming!

Depth Charge.  Never matched up with anything else better. 

Hyper Cell Fused won't be a Rogue Cell, now the solid version of this cover might get it there, but yeah, Rogue Cell was really really good too.

Second Dimension which is really just higher RG Marvel Pearl...but it matched up much better for me.
Title: Re: Any oldies?
Post by: northface28 on December 28, 2017, 11:47:27 AM
Oh boy, in no particular order:

Horizon
Horizon Pearl
2nd Dimension (this ball was TITS)
Apocalypse (Again, TITS)
Depth Charge (this ball was literally unreal at times)
Furious

I remembered...

Rapid Fire. Twin V core + R2S solid. I feel like it got overlooked a little bit when it was out but it could get a lot of love now. To be honest pretty much all of the balls with the Twin V or Inverted Twin V would be on my list so Storm should bring that core back

How could I forget this ball, this one was good too.

Core Power HRG and the Eraser's. I loved these. They rolled so nice.. Depth Charge also. X Factor Ace man some really good balls.

Trauma Response, only because I like my current equipment and I could use a "fire the ball down the sidewalk" or "chuck the ball into the ocean" PoS ball for when I get frustrated.  :o

But my serious answer would be the RS-P. That ball was pretty darn good.

Atomic Charge!  Enjoyed it so much @ the time and did well with it too. Gave it away many moons ago. Talked my brother out of it and might have it back once again in the near future. Not so sure that it will give me the results that I had 13 years ago though, but will be nice to experiment with it to see what it can do once again after a re-drill.

For me, it would be the Vertigo.  I am sure it wouldn't move like it did on the oil I see today, but yea I really loved that ball.

I actually currently have a X-Factor Triple XXXtreme, but I would love to get one new in box, because the one I have was already drilled, and the pin is really close to my PAP, but I really love the motion the core gives me, plus it's a two piece.

Depth Charge.  Never matched up with anything else better. 


My son still uses my old Depth Charge.  It's won him a couple of tournaments & bails him out quite a bit.

found a modern marvel at a bowling alley a couple months ago and liked it pretty well, other than that x factor ace seems interesting to try.
