bring back the x-factor!!
« on: October 20, 2008, 04:25:55 AM »
I think that storm should do a remake of the x-factor! I mean it's the ball that has the most reviews on almost any site. Come on guys, bring back out the x-factor!

They already have the new ball's name is Cell Pearl, I still have X-factor and the new CP is the real deal. My X-factor does not work as well on the newer oils, the CP is what the X-Factor was back in the day.

I agree 100% on this or other ones like the trauma er, too hot, tour power, fired up and that. I want storm to come back out with the hockey stick reaction look. Long(like 59 feet lol) and Strong. Also they remade the 2 infernos, orig danger zone, the one, and a few others why not.

I have yet to throw one, but judging by the ebay prices for a NIB that this must have been one heck of a ball.

I wish they would bring back the X-factor Vertigo.  Best ball I have ever thrown.

I would love to see the RAD core in a newer coverstock like the reactor or R2S.  That is the only asymmetrical core that I ever matched up with.  Bring it back!!!

I would vote for a remake of the X-Factor also. That being said the Cell Pearl reminds me of a reincarnation of the X-Factor for todays conditions

I am still hoping for an Accu-Tread pearl ball with a strong(er) core, e. g. the Twin-V core from the Fire line.
