I got a great idea for 3 more Factors:

1)Fear factor core (triple disk) with a Urethane cover, call it the "X Factor Revolutions" (since they swiped Reloaded....)

2)FF core again cept in a Dual particle shell, call it the "X Factor V"

3)Any of the Factor cores with a plastic (or polyester) cover and call it the "No Factor". It can be a $200 spare ball.....
--------------------
Whats that made of?
14 Karat Gold.
Really??? Looks like rubber!
No the ring, not the hand....

not sure bout the Master line, but the power line has 2 new balls coming soon. A replacement to the HRG and possibly something similar to a tour power?

Thanks for reading my post.

Oh I love it....man just throw a jab at the Lane 1 product and watch the buzzheads get offended like I just shot their dog....

Who's REALLY the crybaby?  I'm on staff with Storm and if you insult them I won't lose sleep over it, Lane 1 gets insulted and 10 people instantly break their keyboards seeing how fast they can insult me.


Randy, not true I guess.........look at my post on the Lane1 board called "what if"............interesting.....

Here is an e-mail I just got from storm:                                     Hello Alex,
The X factor is one year old, and things change. We think it is a great ball, but we sales dictate us to contiunually reinvent things. I suggest you take a look at our Fear factor. We put an extra weight block inside the ball, and if you polish it, it will be an X factor with better  perfomance.

Will it ? any one tryed this?

Storm Lefty, brimar and Ubik were the only ones that answered Pat Pattersons question, it would be nice if the rest of you would take your meaningless discussion to another site you are really getting old.

Here is the response I made about the fear factor polished on a different post.
Comparing fear factor with deuce.
The fear factor starts up earlier than the deuce and does not backend as hard as a deuce. The fear factor polished gets tons of length for me almost 60 ft. The deuce gets length and flip polished. Personally, I do not care for the reaction of the fear factor. It is too over/under for me. I need friction right for the ball to roll good for me. I really do not get a good look throwing this ball. The fear factor is a major disappointment to me. The only fear factor I saw roll well was a storm staffer that had the pin above left of middle finger with the cg and rad in line underneath (stack) This ball was polished and looked good on dirt conditions. I am sure that there are a lot of people that really like this ball.

im very interested in a possible tour power replacement. id like to see something in the power line with the accu-tread cover. i love the power charge pearl i have and the core power LRG was a very good ball until it cracked @ the pin.

My new flash point arrived today and i will post my initial impressions on it in a week or so.

Jaborni, this whole Topic was supposed to be about the X Factor and nothing else and you come along and throw Lane 1 into the thing trying to stir up trouble again. What's your purpose of continually trying to start up trouble?
Gosh amighty, how can you expect to be a successful business person with an attitude like that?

Ok, the last two Master lines have had 5 balls each.  So naturally I would guess that the Factor line will have 5 balls, leaving one left for them to put out.  Should be within the next month, and the new Master line should be out this spring, like a couple people have said.

Randy, in reality, we simply get sick of you constantly harrassing us about Lane 1 balls, their prices, and etc. I mean it's not like it was the first or second time you brought it up. It has been the numerous times that you bring it up, repeat over and over and etc. Every one is sick of it and not just the Lane 1 users. I've tried everything I could to be your friend and etc. and yet you still repeat it all over again. As I said in another post yesterday, you would make friends and not enemies if you would back off.

It appears from the post of yours above this one, that you intend to back off and if you do this, you will find everyone else will in turn back off of attacking you. If you will go back to the Lane 1 column and read the post I made yesterday after BadShot's post, you will find I said some nice things about you. I couldn't believe it today when I read your comments and saw that you were "cranking it back up" again. Hopefully this is now the end. You are free to message me if you want.

Look Tommy, I'm very sorry, but it is you that has it all wrong. People like yourself turned this ugly and not me. Go back and read all of the remarks made about Lane 1 before I even said anything. I would not have even posted anything if people like yourself could stick to the Topic rather than hi-jacking it. Why even bring Lane 1 into it? This topic was supposed to be about the X Factor and not Lane 1. You know, there is an oldtime saying about saying things. It goes like this: "It's not what you say, it's how you say it."

Randy, it was not my intentions to make you look like a villian here, but if that is the way you want to look at it, so be it. I can't change that. I'm not posting any more about this because there is no solution. It will go on forever. You feel you are right in what you say, and I feel likewise. I appoligize and am sorry that you have misunderstood me at times.

I think Jab's post was inline with the topic at hand.....someone was poking at x-factors and mentioned a "plastic cover with a high tech block". Jab's reply is referring to the XXXL from lane one, poly cover, high-tech diamond block, hence the funny hah-hah laugh.  I dont think it was meant to start all this crap, and it was plenty relevant and quite funny.

Personally I like Storm Balls. If they decide to put the X-factor
core in a polyester coverstock, I would highly welcomed it!!
Maybe it should be called "Poly-Factor" instead of "No-Factor".
"No-Factor" doesn't bring any sense at all!!! Just my 2 cents.

Do you people remember the 4 Test balls from a year ago, with the different color pins?  I heard that a version of the light blue one is coming out.  I think a Fear Factor core with this shell???  Please don't take this as an 11th Commandment in stone or anything, my hard drive erases every night when I go to sleep, but I seem to remember a conversation about this new ball a month or so ago.

Can't we all just get along?  Even if Storm is better than Lane 1, no reason to go around bashing........

Mike, I don't recall anyone here bashing Storm if that is what you were refering to.....and you could be right. Maybe Storm is better than Lane 1, I don't know and am not one to judge this. All I know is that with the exception of a V2 Pearl, my whole arsenal was Storm balls and had been for the last 2-3 years. Late last summer I tried a Lane 1 ball out of curiosity and for reasons unknown to me, it seemed to matched up to my style better, so I have bought 3 more since for a total of 4. (3 good ones and one bad one...lol) A person is going to find a bad one or more in any companies balls. The bottom line is that a ball either matches up or it doesn't match up to a bowler.

[Quote by Leftside]..."How bout everyone get over it? You folks should realize by now if you take one stab at Randy, he freaks out and keeps it going until he gets the last word in. Same with Brick.. We should have a forum dedicated to just those two"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Randy, look! It appears we are now Celebrities now with the proposal that we have out own forum. Don the Tux. Call the Limo.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leftside, I was just joking with the above comments....Now down to reality, I agree with you that everyone "get over it." I never thought about it until now, but I know how this can get old to everyone reading on this site daily.

Example, I joined this site approx. a year ago. Right after I joined up, 2 members on this site of which I won't name, were arguing about Walter Ray Willims. This argument went on for days and days and days etc. Sometimes a single post by one of these 2 would fill more than a page here. I got sick of it. It got to the point that I quit reading about it. I simply laughed and shook my head about those 2 and would skip over them arguing and go on to other Topics.

To sum it up, I'm man enough to make the first move and say I quit arguing about this Lane 1 thing beginning now. Let bygones be bygones. Now I am done. Through. Etc.

I challange Randy to do the same. To stop all of his negatism on all Forums about Lane 1 and let everyone go about their daily business of communicating like it used to be. He even has the opportunity here to get the last word in. I won't rebuke him.

I had already been giving it some thought about leaving this site for awhile, of which I have decided to do beginning now, and maybe for good. Will I come back? I don't know. I have a lot of friends on this site and can message them if I need help / advisement with something or what ever. I certainly enjoyed communicating with everyone over the past 12 months, but I haven't enjoyed the arguments or debates or what ever you want to call them the last 3 months. I could blame it all on some of the anti-Lane 1 people like Randy and some of the others, but I won't because you know what the old time saying says--"It Takes Two To Tango."...Bye to everyone for now.

I wasn't trying to say that Storm or Lane 1 was better than the other, kinda... no matter which one is better, can't we just see that we all have our own opinions, and not bash each other.  I wasn't referring to anyone bashing Storm or Lane 1, just each other.  Alot of this was typed with a smile on my face, and laughing, ........

Hey Mike, as far as those "Test" balls, are u refering to the ball that was kinda light blue w/ a kinda white marble look to it?? if so that would be nice, I drilled my FearFactor like the test ball i used and that Test ball hooks more that my FF.
