Storm Coverstock Time-Table
« on: December 29, 2009, 02:12:14 PM »
I've only been seriously into bowling since say 2006-ish.  I know Storm has a handful of coverstocks since then, but I'd like to know information about ALL their RESIN coverstocks from their first resin ball up to the new R3X.  

Here's what I know - there are gaps in my knowledge, feel free to fill them in!  Don't worry about particles or pearl or hybrids - just a timetable of coverstocks.  

From oldest to newest:

Accu-Tread
Monsoon
Reactor
R2X
R3X

That's interesting.  In my personal experiences, I would flip flop a few of the covers in the strong-to-weak list.  Did you e-mail Storm for this?
