Title: I need a Benchmark ball
Post by: Berreez on March 24, 2005, 01:34:21 AM
Looking at my profile what would be some suggestions for a “middle” of the road ball from storm?

I typically bowl on a THS and have pretty good speed and can make the necessary adjustments when I need too. I feel that “high” performances balls are usually too oil specific. I tend to lean towards my old HRG and Too Hot but it is time to upgrade.

I will also use this when I bowl in local / state tournaments where the shot is somewhat harder. All suggestions are welcome?

Thanks,
Robert

Flash Force. It's even recommended on Storm's "Storm Tips"

i would also look into a depth charge with a control drilling. i have min stacked though but that is the first ball out of my bag and it is very predictable. it is also not to flippy either.

I'll throw in a second vote for a flash force.  I would also think a Super Charge could fit the bill as long as you are careful will the drilling.

Two words...STORM HYBRID !!!!
IMO, you could use the Hybrid, a Flash Point, or Force ( I like the point better), but to fill your "gap" I'd say, Hybrid.

my 2 cents are up

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

I wrote to Storm and they suggested the Flash Force.

The tech told me the Hybrid would replace my Too Hot.

I think I will go with these two balls plus the Vertigo for next season.
