I have a 16# lightly used Triple XXXtreme if anyone is interested - PM me an offer. Just didn't match up very well for me.

Special Agent is a must have! As far as older balls. The Tour Power is a benchmark dry lane ball IMO.

T-Struck Solid...great all around ball. I can use it on any pattern (except bone dry) and the carry is great!! Great benchmark!

When having trouble, just throw it harder!!!

So looks like either an Agent, Special Agent, or a Thunderstruck Solid....so many choices....anyone got any good deals on these NIB in 15#'s??  Willing to try any of them...would love to put a comparison video together for them also if i can get more than one!

Thunderstruck Pearl! Ball is SO under-rated it's stupid. It gets over looked with the T-Road and Fired Up in the line up but the Thunderstruck Pearl is one of the best balls i've ever owned, i'm just looking for an excuse to drill up a third.

all I can input is if $ is not a question, I've used a Shift for 11 weeks now and my highest series is 792 and LOWEST is 692. Its easy to see what I would suggest!!!

X factor Deuce is one of my favorites from storm.

Either smooth or strong depending on drill!

And it hits....OH so hard!

well i ordered a special agent today so we shall see how it goes!  I plan on drilling it up more aggressive than my black widow, maybe a 4-3.5 x 3 to handle the tighter conditions i may face in the future...(my black widow is 5 x 4MB)

I have to say that the T-Road Pearl is pretty awesome for the price.

Paradigm.  Never seen a ball before that makes the move this ball does.

I have never used a storm product before I purchased my Shift. I have about 50 games on it. I've shot 5 700's, 10 high 600's, 1 low 600 and 1 below 600. It is the best ball I've ever thrown. For example on a THS, with the right speed, tonight if I flared it out, it would come roaring back and hit dead flush, if I missed 7 or 8 boards left of my mark, it would hold and hit dead flush, even on light hits it would just rip the rack. I left only 3 ten pins, a solid 8, a bucket(too hard, a 9 pin and a 4 pin. Everything else was a strike, had 222, 279, 256 for a 757 also had a 782 last week. This ball at 1500 grit polish is just a beast of a ball, I would recommend this ball to anyone.
