New Balls coming
« on: September 11, 2004, 11:10:32 PM »
Got word from the distributors that an X-Factor Ace and Hot Rod Pro Stock Pearl was on the way, and should be in stock earlier in October.

I am sure this means that they Hot Rod original is done.

Maybe they modified the Mystic coverstock a little, I'm kinda surprised they only used it on one ball, the X-Factor was awesome . .

No, really, I like you.  Now, by all means, feel free to go fornicate yourself with a sharp object.

So does this mean the original XF is dead now or not?

Charlest is most correct....

i guess storm decided to race with c300 to see who can put out the most new balls in a 12 month period. What the hell is up with the name though....

Here's the real answer just to stop the rumors.

The ACE is a Triple X core with a pearl particle coverstock and has the sharpest entry angle of any storm ball!

The Pro Stock pearl is a low flare pearl coverstock. (not much more info on this one.) Both should be available in october. You should see your local staff guys and VIP shops throwing them end of this week or next week.

Haven't seen the core pics yet but this is what I have been told by a legitimate source.

I really did want a particle pearl in the triple x line, and now we may get it. I am getting excited about this

Does anybody have any more information on these balls other than what has already been said like core, numbers (RG, Diff, etc), color, or anything?

I just want to clear up any confusion you might have on the new X-Factor Ace. The ball is a RAD3 core with a pearl particle Accu-Tread coverstock. When tested against all of the other balls in the Master Line, this ball had the strongest entry angle into the pins of any of the Master Line balls ( according to the CATS data ). The ball will come factory polished so it should fit in between the Triple X-Treme and the Triple X. The ball is mainly green with red & blue mixed in. The RG and Diff numbers will be similar to the other Master Line balls ( I dont have the exact numbers with me ). The balls are set to ship in early / mid October. There will be a series of seminars featuring this ball though many distributors across the countries. Check with your local pro shops for information concerning those. The Hot Rod Pro Stock Pearl should be launched at the same time. The only info that i have on this ball is the color is an Aqua/Teal & silver. I will pass along any more info as i get it

I resigned from Ebonite back in March. I stayed a free-agent thoughout most of the summer, using strictly Storm and Brunswick. I signed with Storm shortly after the Tour Trials. So far it has been nothing but positive for me.
