Title: Belmont ball core cast your vote!
Post by: billdozer on January 03, 2017, 10:45:10 PM
Anyways since we kinda know the name and color of the ball. Anyone speculating as to what core? Cover is another story....(But it appears polished)

I feel we're bringing back a master line core from the past.

Is it the

Agent line core -EMC
Marvel line core -centripetal
Dimension line -Continuum core
Something new
Something else not mentioned

We know it's a "timeless" core lol but

WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS?

MY VOTE IS CONTINUUM!

CANT SEE RESULTS UNTIL YOU VOTE!

I only just saw teaser video yesterday (guess I don't follow storm activity that closely).  With the way they are setting it up, it would be a joke if it was a resurrection of an old core.

I guess. I'm fine with a new one. But I don't dig alot of the new stuff.

is the Hy-Road 300 the Belmo ball, or just another new piece?

What color did they choose because I just saw the vote for it last night on facebook. They say the vote just started. I forgot when voting end. Belmo also said it was the perfect ball for two handers(gimmick to sell).

I saw that Storm/Belmonte will be doing a live broadcast on FB today at 3pm eastern. Maybe more info on this ball?

For what it's worth everyone on Facebook is claiming it won't be the timeless.....still think it probably will be but at least this has my interest

If you want to see timeless in action, watch the YouTube 2016 Storm Domino Pizza SBS Korea Bowling Cup. Both Belmo and Danielle are throwing. Also their competitors are throwing Star Locks.

It's a new core. I saw the picture of it and the specs last night.

It's the timeless....r2s hybrid with a core labeled dual-drive

timeless and torrent so im guessing sure lock is overseas too this overseas stuff is ticking me off
Title: Re: Belmont ball core cast your vote!
Post by: AlonzoHarris on January 04, 2017, 02:23:10 PM
Timeless = Hy-Road with more diff.
Torrent = Blend between RocketShip and Phaze II.

Probably getting one of them.

The inception of the Dual-Drive was born of a sprawling development process that has spanned years. This could not be achieved without placing a weight block of specific size and shape inside of another weight block. The outer weight block incorporates strategically placed geometric shapes that, in conjunction with the inner weight block, establishes a new standard in bowling ball motion – faster revving action with a higher level of energy transfer at the pins.

Hmm... kind of interesting.

Before I seen the pic of the core I was like, they hid the Hy-Road weight block inside "another core" and released the same ball in a different color lol.

This also marks the start of their new Signature Line. Has Belmo on the ball...

I have to give credit where credit is due. No other company has the ability to create the leg humping, over promotion and meaningless drivel that Storm generates when they release a new ball.

I agree. Got to give credit. Storm seems so oversaturated right now. Look at the thunder line now: HyRoad, HyRoad Pearl, Fight, Street Fight, Rocket Ship, and Torrent.

Hell you can group the Timeless in with those also. 7 balls that fit in a similar spot of their lineup

That Timeless will be Premier level pricing I bet.

I was telling my buddy the whole purpose of creating a "signature" line was to charge more. I told him it'd be premier level price and sure enough bowling ball.com has pre-order price of $169

Post by: 2handedrook12 on January 04, 2017, 03:51:49 PM
So I guess everyone wants more Syncs, Zero Gravities, Fights, Phazes (OG), IQ regular, etc. Personally, I'd rather have good stuff instead of new crap.
Title: Re: Belmont ball core cast your vote!
Post by: suhoney24 on January 04, 2017, 04:01:48 PM
For $170 I'll pass....considering I could find something along the same shape for a lot less
Title: Re: Belmont ball core cast your vote!
Post by: Snakster on January 04, 2017, 04:30:32 PM
So the upshot here is yet another attempt to replace the hyroad?  Only with a slightly higher diff, a mechanical signature and a higher price tag.

Pretty much. This is why I've gone away from Storm

I'm still kind of intrigued about the ball having and inner core and an outer core (not filler). Will be interesting to see if it catches on. That is actually something new. I think.

I will admit that the color scheme is great to me and I think it could be a great ball, but is it worth it at that price?

Hey now, that promotion was just extended until the end of March.  :)

If Storm did something like that with this ball they might run out of 3-ball totes.

The whole whoring of BelMonte and the logo on the ball is weak to me. That alone will ensure I won't get this ball. Just seems cheesy, like engraving your initials or having colored grips in your ball. Just screams dork. Like showing up with two single ball rollers.

Post by: lilpossum1 on January 05, 2017, 09:17:03 AM
I have bright green inserts in my stuff because it helps me see which ball is mine on the rack without picking up everyone else's equipment. And I certainly don't want to stick my thumb in someone's ball that I don't know. After knowing a guy with a reoccurring hand fungus that dries and cracks his hands...

I love putting double dual angle layouts on balls. Some would call this the quad angle layout. But it just doesn't have the same ring to it.

I beg to differ!!! Brunswick is throwing in a FREE 3 ball bag with the purchase of the Quantum's. But the ball itself does cost more than any other ball on the market. And if anyone has noticed, all Brunswick family high ends are costing the same or more than Motiv, which is still made in Michigan. ;)
