If you were setting up a arsenal with only storm products what would you pick out of this list
V-Gravity
Gravity
Shift
Dimension
Second Dimension
Rapid fire
Rapid fire PRl
Hy-road
T-road Prl
T-road Sld
Street Rod prl
Street Rod Sld

Im going to finish my arsenal in the next few mts, I already have Hy-road and Dimension.

I was going to look at this

V-Gravity
Dimension
Shift
Rapid fire sld
Hy-Road
Rapid pearl
T-road prl
Avalance slide ( only non storm )

EDIT*
Keep in mind im a lower rev player perfer to play straighter then most, but can hook it if needed. I would say my revs are Below 300 and my speed ranges from 16ish to 17. As far as my ball roll goes it can range 15 - 45 Degree. My axis point is 5 1/2 over 1/2 up.

Roto Grip is part of the Storm family.  I would definetly have the Grand Illusion is my arsenal.

Virtual Gravity
Dimension
Grand Illusion
Street Rod solid or an old Jolt solid
for a flipper swing ball the Rapid Fire pear.

I did not match up personally with the T-Roads but I bowl with many that have.

I will post mine and you can take what you want from it (I'm bored at work )

Tournament/Sport/PBA League Arsenal:
Dimension at 1000 *base layout, pin up*
Virtual Gravity Shift at 4000 *cleaner layout, pin under*
Second Dimension at 2000 *control layout, pin in finger*
Street Rod solid at 2000 *base layout - minus wt. hole, pin up*
Hy-Road at 2000 *base layout, pin up*
Gravity Shift at 4000 *early roll layout, pin under*
T-Road Pearl at 2000/shine over top *cleanest layout minus wt. hole, pin up*
Neptune at box *label layout-no hole, pin under*
Ice Storm over label - no hole

House League Arsenal
I take out the Neptune, Virtual Gravity, Hy-Road.

I and working this arsenal for what I prefer to bowl competitively on. I bowl just under half of the regionals in the Central, a PBA X league in the summer, a Sport pattern league that uses each of the PBA X patterns along with the Junior Gold and Team USA patterns in the summer, and a couple of house shoot out series that use PBA X and Sport patterns.

The most the PBA will let you use in any tournament is nine, so that is the limit of my tournament arsenal. Anymore would create confusion and I am not good enough to have a ball rep following me around giving me advise on what to expect.

I can adjust surfaces on the spot with abralon and also carry polish and a towel. Don't be afraid to use the abralon on your stuff! I get "comfortable" and do not want to make changes and then find out I would have had a better look if I would have just made a surface change.

There are a lot of patterns that I can take 2-3 of those balls and expect them to go in a progression following the transition of the field and lanes themselves.

The main focus is on repeating of shots and mechanics. Granted the wrong ball in your hand all day can put you at the bottom of the list, but you still have to throw it pretty well on the tougher patterns to score with the big dogs.

Layout listing:

Base layout is 4 1/2" pin-to-pap, 7/8 hole-on-axis, 2" deep. 60* angle
Cleaner layout is 5" pin-to-pap, 7/8 hole on axis or down depending on track flare separation, 45* angle
Control layout is 4 1/2" pin-to-pap, no hole, pin in ring finger.
Early layout is 5 1/2" pin-to-pap, hole down axis 2", 30* angle
Cleanest layout is 5 3/4: pin-to-pap, no hole, 75* angle.
