High end storms = too powerful?
« on: October 18, 2006, 08:19:51 AM »
to all you storm heads out there,

I seem to be having an issue with my XXX-Tream which is the same that I have had with high end storm balls since the Trauma series.  I get a great look at the pocket from all over the lane, BUT then I keep leaving stone 8 and 9's. I really think these things are TOO powerful at the pins for my game. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I hated my XXXtreme - didn't match up well for me. Changed surface a couple times, just couldn't get the right reaction. 16lbs, maybe 40 games single drill if anyone's interested - just taking up space right now.

I seem to be leaving more 9 pins lately with both the Passion and the Paradigm.Had the first 7 in one game. Number 8 crushed the rack only to leave a laughing 9 pin.Play basically the same line with both in 2 different houses. Now as soon as I leave one I move 1-2 boards right (lefty)and this seems to help.

If you are throwing 7 out of 8, I wouldn't be too disappointed with the results...  I mean, the only person who can string strikes at will and never leave any tapped pins is Robbie...

Believe me I'm not complaining. I've owned the original X-Factor, the Reloaded, and the XXX Extreme. None of them hit as well (for me)as the Passion and the Paradigm.I've never really have had the problem ot throwing too much ball. I prefer leaving 8 & 9s instead of 7s and 10s.
