Red Sun Storm
« on: January 28, 2013, 04:20:20 PM »
A buddy of mine just drilled up a Red Sun Storm and loves the reaction.  He says it is the best he has had in a while.  He asked me what a similar ball is today, and well I just don't know.

According to Storms website, the numbers are RG 2.49 diff .050.  I didn't see too many balls that have those numbers and the ones that were close were retired storm balls.  Granted I didn't look at too many companies.

One ball that might be close would be the Fast?

Any suggestions.

As I stated adding holes and a x-hole will get you close.  Close enough that the cover easily does the rest. A 1"x3.5" x-hole can easily increase the int diff of a symmetric core ball to more then that of many premium asymmetric cored balls. 

I have a Sling shot currently with a 4.25" pin to pap and a large p3 x-hole and that ball will hook every bit as much as its 1997 counterpart the Sapphire zone. Same covers, different cores. The core will have an affect on ball shpae no doubt but if you get the rg and diffs in the same ball park you will see thst the differences aren't as clear on the lanes.

Remember... choose the coverstock type for the lane condidtion, alter the surface to read the break point correctly, then tweak the layout to affect carry.

Blueprint doesn't knock any pins over...

Nope but it shows how some of the things people get so hung up over such as static weights, pin distances and ect are not as big of a factor as the surface adjustments are.
