Post by: rec2123 on February 04, 2004, 12:28:09 AM: i was gonna get the reloaded. but decided on the fear factor instead. i think ur right about the trauma er, love that ball . i drilled the fear factor with layout 5
with the pin about ring finger,and the rad at the tumb hole, cause i use most of the lane, the fear factor holds nice in midlane hits pretty well too. i would have to say the fear factor .

Post by: drillbit on February 04, 2004, 02:54:27 AM: Bolt Pro - I loved that ball, my first 15lb. ball. Great length, not jumpy at all, stayed in play on most conditions.
Now, if you include balls made by Storm for other labels, I'd have to put my SS Pearl right up there, and though I've only thrown about 10 games with my Thing, I'd have to put it up there too.

Post by: Ernie McCracken on February 04, 2004, 12:12:29 PM: For me, it would have to be the original Track Code Red. That ball totally changed my game and average! Been a Track loyalist ever since. Evolutionary. Revolutionary. Oh, wait. This was a Storm ball topic. Sorry. I'd have to say the Charge. For some reason, I like that ball. A friend has one and let me throw it. Gotta admit, I almost bought one!

Post by: mumzie on February 04, 2004, 01:20:29 PM: Storm. We're talking Storm.

My first "most favoritest" ball ever was the Firestorm. Although I just found another one, and it definitely has a place in today's game, I've shot some really, really, really big scores with my Deuce.
And - after I thought it was dead, it resurrected itself with a little help from scotch brite.

So, I think I'll say Firestorm and Deuce.

Post by: TenaciousD_18 on February 04, 2004, 05:23:16 PM: I'm really liking the Flash Point think its the best ball i've ever thrown next would have to be the hpd. It doesn't even compare to the flash point.

Title: Re: Greatest Ball of all Time
Post by: crankncrash on February 04, 2004, 10:00:29 PM: too hot!!! and the ER was great
Title: Re: Greatest Ball of all Time
Post by: Re-Evolution on February 04, 2004, 10:46:50 PM: X-FACTOR
I say this because it responds to hand position and speed changes better than any ball I have ever thrown.
It's not just the best Storm ball it's the best all around ball period in my opinion.

Title: Re: Greatest Ball of all Time
Post by: bowler0821 on February 04, 2004, 11:33:08 PM: Storm is the best what can I say all storm balls are good for me it is hard to say what my favorite ball is I mean I loved my x-it great ball sad I got rid of it and the Core Power LRG great and is like my x-it but for a little less oil.

But if I had to pick one it would have to be a split between the
TOO HOT
AND
TRAUMA ER

The Too Hot great ball for med-light oil snaps and hits hard

Trauma Er Great ball for med-heavy oil sad that mined died after 8 months of use it just hooks a ton and hits like a truck

I love both of these balls so much I have a NIB one of each in my room right now for when I need them lol.
But Storm is the best am I right or am I wrong?

Not sure what to drill, drill a Storm there is no better.

Post by: UNObowler01 on February 07, 2004, 01:07:07 AM: Storm sucks...

Nothing like a ball that goes dead long, makes a great backend move, and hits like a turd.

Or, if you get a Storm particle, hook at the arrows and hit like a turd...YOU CAN HAVE IT EITHER WAY!

Post by: nd300 on February 08, 2004, 08:35:02 PM: I know that everyone will probably laugh but for me one of the best balls I ever threw was the Dull Blue Hammer. It handled oil and as long as you chased the oil it hit hard and carried.
