i think the Storm ball that would match the Playmaker would be the T-Road Pearl in the older line and the current line of bowling balls it would be close to a polished Furious. And for the Complete NV I would only say these 2. Second Dimension and maybe the Virtual Energy.

High Game = 299
High Series = 776
Revs/Speed = 200rpm at 15-17 mph

i have to agree the t road pearl or maybe the rapid fire pearl would be close to it and i would say either the gravity shift or the 2nd D would be close to the complete nv i know the one i had was about a board different than gravity

T-Road Pearl is the closest you will get to a Playmaker and either Gravity Shift or very likely the new Virtual Energy will be closest to a Complete NV.

Be aware though that Ebonite has a very different strategy with their balls than Storm.  A T-Road Pearl is a higher RG ball than a Playmaker, while the Playmaker's GB 10.7 cover is a bit milder than R2S.  Comparing Ebonite to Storm is tough at best.

as greenefam said it is going to be difficult to compare.  I switched from ebonite to storm a couple of years ago and it was the best thing that I could have done.  

the complete would probably be closest to the virtural energy.  The gravity shift doesn't have the mid lane like complete.  The playmaker would be an interesting question.  If you are looking for something in there current line up a mid strength drilled hyroad would be the closest IMHO.  

I can tell you that storm is much cleaner through the heads for me and comes off the dry better than my ebonite stuff did (which is why I switched) and the cover stock maintenance is a bit easier.

good luck
