Hello All,
I am currently all Storm, as if some of you didn't know (And NO I am not staff, for ansering the one post above-but I would like to be). I am currently looking into modifing my arenal based on a wide of bowling conditons, mainly based on oil density-and not so much length.
I am a stroker, with low revs and med axis. I throw around 17MPH on a wide variety of usually a low end of 37ft to a high end of around 43ft. The density is usually medium, but can drop to low. I am on a high school team, so varying shots do come about and thats what I am listing above.
My current aresnal is listed below based on what the ball does and handles. I know that most of the drills are at 45* basis so there is a bit. Sorry I can't tell you my PAP...
Heavy Oil: Storm Paradigm Domination. Medium roll with a medium backend. (This ball can really take on a bit longer patterns, but can handle a good density. Note: This ball was first hit with a burgandy, and then with a 1000 abralon.
Heavy-Medium: Storm Shift. A ball with a backend for sure. It does push and shove, awesome ball. Forget heavier oil and longer patterns. You'll skid right on down.
Medium: Ace. The go to ball of my life. Love it!!!! Handles alot and alot well. Not so great when it comes to the longer or even more dense patterns.
Medium: Vertigo: Got the back end still and the reaction! Medium oil/medium length not so much more...
Medium Light: Flash Point: Good ball---I think it's to much for what it should be!
Spare: Spare Ball
__________________________
The SOON NEW STUFF:
Lookin at a Secret Agent: Seems like I need it! Got the heavy roll and the heavy hit. Looks like a fill for a spot!
/\/(NEW LINE UP WITH CHANGE:
1. Secret Agent (Heavy)
2. Domination (Heavy Med)
3. Shift (Med)
4. Ace (Med)
5. Vertigo (Med)
6. Flash Point (Break Down)
7. Spare (Spare)
/\/Now I really don't mind having seven balls, but I would like to keep a six line as a main go and "drop a ball"
Now with that in mind-the Vertigo is a nice ball, but I have rarly used it, as well as it's close relation to the Shift (Angularity and hook potential) and the drilling of the thumb has been kinda, bad, so I figure-drop it out.
/\/New Line
Secret (Heavy)(R2S)
Domination (Heavy Med) (R)
Shift (Med)(R2S)
Ace (Med Light)(ACCUTREAD)
Flash Point (Light)(?)
Spare (None)
/\/Now I mentioned that the Ace and Flash Point are a bit strong for there spots. I figure, giving them a polish with Storm Shine to 3,500 Grit will tame them. Hitting the Flash Point REALLY hard with it and then the Ace a little bit.
What do you think? Or should I replace teh Ace and Flashpoint and get some low end Reactor Based balls (Thunderstruck/Tropical) (Two Tropicals-One Med light, one light) (Something else)
Let me know what you think!
Thanks!
