Could one compare the 2 ball for me?  I am really new to the storm balls but the Invasion has got me excited and thinking about changing to all storm if they all feel as good in my hand...  I just need alittle information when comparing the 2 balls...

 

Thanks

I was excited about the Invasion too.  However, unless I put high polish on it, it burned up on me way too early on a multitude of patterns.  Adding polish defeated the primary purpose I was looking for.  The reign of fire was more versatile for me and read patterns so much cleaner and better.  I just recently got another ROF and made it my heaviest/longest oil ball.

 

The Invasion is too much ball for my style, and it will vary from person to person.

Thanks for the information...

 

I have the Invasion polished and drilled long with arc because of how much hand. I am trying to get a read on how to get the Reign drilled because my Cell is my next oil ball and I dont need them to be about the same... 

Invasion - pin up on the center line above the fingers with the mass 2 ½" right of my thumb

I used this ball straight out of the box on synthetic and wood surfaces. This ball got a lot of use from the jump as it just seemed to blend patterns out for me and more importantly, it struck. To me, this core creates a heavy roll and a strong arc.

 

Reign of Fire - pin up on the center line above the fingers with the mass 3" right of my thumb

This ball out of the box, I could only use at one league and the center did not strip on the night we bowled. So the house shot is 42' plus carry down. I kept this ball in it's OOB state for emergencies. Thankfully I had it at a tournament that was the just in case and when everyone was pointing it at the headpin, I was going 14 to anywhere and it was dancing back. My friends were laughing because it looked like I was bowling on a wall.

 

I drilled both of these balls last February,  the Invasion mucho games on it but my Reign of Fire has less than 30 in that same time frame but like I said, it's was emergency piece in my hand. I gave my Reign of Fire  to my buddy and he loves how it opens the lane up for him. He does not have the rev rate I have and the Dimension I gave him last year was not quite enough off of the break point.

 

The Reign and Reign Supreme, cannot get enough of them in my hand!

 

 TBH, In it's OOB condition, I can use it as a heavy oil ball, though Storm says it's medium-heavy.  I've taken mine to 500/1000/2000 and now it doesn't check nearly as early, yet still very aggressive in the midlane and backend.
