Going all Storm
« on: March 03, 2011, 01:03:00 AM »
I've decided to throw all Storm from now on. For those who throw mostly Storm, what is your Storm arsenal? Just looking for some ideas..

Looks pretty good... although for what its worth the Nano is going to be able to handle more oil than the Marvel, would give you a more complete look across heavy-light (I see the Marvel as med/heavy like the Anarchy... you would lack a real heavy oil ball).

In the bag
 
Reign -  pin inch & 1/2 above & 3/4 inch right of ring, oob polish knocked off = main ball right now
Shift - pin inch below & inch right, dulled no polish = if Reign isn't enough on the fresh...
X-Factor - pin inch & 1/4 above bridge, oob = different look for late 2ne or 3rd game if needed...
 
Special Agent - pin inch above & 1/2 inch right oob w/lane shine = on the bench right now, needs to be refitted..

I mostly use Storm/Roto stuff, except for drier (not toast, because I don't really match up the Tropicals on drier). Typical five-ball carry would include:
 
Nano/Marvel
Infinite Theory
Nomad Dagger/Victory Road
Chainsaw/Pearl Recon RX-1
Natural Pearl (also doubles as a spare ball)

I'm a half Storm/half Ebonite guy, but here's my Storm lineup....
 
Virtual Energy
Hyroad
Hot Rod Pro Stock Pearl
Black Thunder
 
Also might be leaning towards a Marvel too, considering that my track record in the past with equipment similar to the Nano have not been good to say the very least.

Welcome to the club. My advice is stay away the Reigns ive drilled 2 reigns and a Reign Supreme they are good balls but theres something about that core i dont like. Go with the HyRoad or Victory Road over the Reign and Reign Supreme. Anyways this is what I'm throwing:
Invasion
Anarchy
Prodigy
Hyroad
Victory Road
2Fast

That's not really reason enough for someone to not try it.  It's the old adage, "what works great for some may not for others."  If he's interested he should try one and find out for himself.  Just because I didn't get along with the Invasion at all isn't reason enough to tell anyone to not try it out.

I have to agree with the XE. I have drilled all three Reigns. Loved the original, wasn't too keen on the ROf, and have started to take a shine to the Supreme.
 
I was one of the few that did not get along with the Hy-Road and also one of the few that loved the Sure Fire. With a slight tweak or two, these are essentially the same ball but one rolled like a monster for me and the other was over/under hell.

I've been using storm for about 2 years now with no regrets. I used to be all Brunswick until I tried a Storm T-Road Pearl, after that I made the change over. I still use my brunswick gear but only for my every other sunday night leauge which will be changed for the last 3 weeks.

 

My current line up from weakest to strongest:

 

Natural

T-Road Pearl

Gravity Shift

 

I just won a Storm Victory Road during a tournament where your entry fee gave you a free entry into the ball raffle. Getting it drilled up in literally 30 minutes. I'm hoping it will be a little stronger then my Gravity with my drilling layout idea.
