Limited issue ball?  Maybe a reissue of sorts of a popular ball from the past?

I saw this earlier and I think it's a re-release of a popular ball. The only question is, if it is a re-release, is why did it take so long and what ball is it.

So I think you are right. I know we've done this before 'if you could bring back...'.  At this point I'm more curious which ball. My top 2 guesses are X-Factor and Virtual Gravity.

My vote would be the Virtual Energy. If that's remade, I'll buy a case of them.

Hmmm, I'm going to say the 2008 Virtual Gravity, the most popular ball Storm ever created according to Steve Kloempken.  https://youtu.be/pccSAefHbmc?t=7m50s (https://youtu.be/pccSAefHbmc?t=7m50s)

x-factor or maybe the anarchy! I really liked the anarchy, but would be just as happy with the x-factor.

Anarchy would be a good one but not sure it was that popular to bring back.  Prodigy was too hit and miss.

X-Factor or original Trauma would be my hope . . but the X-Factor was too good for that not to be it.

Its going to an iconic release.  Not the prodigy lol, that's one of my faves but it won't be the prodigy haha. 

Its going to be something that revolutionized or got them really famous. 

Xfactor or virtual gravity have to be it.  Maybe an el nino but I just dont see it.  They have been working on that "code" line with the RAD 4 weight block...makes sense for one of them to come over here... Just saying ;)

VG, VE, or Paradigm.  Anarchy was never as popular as one may think.  It is still my go to ball and I have shot many honor scores and have 2 drilled and 2NIB.  My overall thought is the VG.  What do you think it will do to Original VG prices???  I have 3 of them NIB :-)

I'm thinking the most iconic ball in Storm history is probably the original X-Factor. A reissue would be nice, but a redo, maybe with a modern cover, would go over best. Personally I'd think the original RAD Core with an R2X Pearl cover like the Marvel Pearl would be a perfect mix.

You're on the money dude.  How about a VE cover 1/3 solid, 2/3 pearl cover with polish, wrapped I  the rad 4 core! Cha-ching.

I'd buy a couple and keep a few undrilled in a closet. Name - X-Factor Classic Hybrid

had no idea that the prodigy was disliked that much. Here it was one of the biggest sellers around.

I think you may be right, but when the GB remake came out the prices still stayed up and even with the GB2 there is nothing like the original!

I dont think it was unliked, the marvel and marvel pearl outsold it.  They didn't make multiple prodigies..what does that tell u?  I dont think the modern marvel did well either.

For me, I had trouble getting the Prodigy through the heads at box finish, whereas I had no issues with either the Marvel or Modern Marvel. I too sensed that the Modern Marvel was less popular, butI liked it, so I have no explanation for that.
