Then the new paradigm must be cheeper than the other two right? Since it has reactor cover instead of the Eox cover.

I personally love the Reactor Coverstock, but I do wish Storm would mix it up a bit.

I love my Hybrid's Reactor coverstock, and I've bowled with it in multiple cities.

people bash storm cause of all the balls with the reactor cover. hell what about brunswick and all the 20 balls they have with some sort of activator. just because they call it reactor doesn't mean its not some different formula of reactor. the reactor on a pyro is different then the reactor on a diablo. if u don't like reactor, then shut up and don't buy it. keep throwing track stuff and stay on the track forum.

I really dislike people who say....this cover sucks....or this ball sucks....it is your oppinion...u dont need to tell everyone about it. especially on a thread about a new ball noone has ever seen. just because u see a cover u dont like ur gonna bash the ball....doesnt make sense to me.


Especially if you hang out in some other forum like the Brunswick forum and only come over to do a little bashing and then leave.  I would say at the very least explain why something sucks.  If no one in your CITY likes the Reactor coverstock, provide statistical data to support that.  

This way, instead of vague bashing we can talk about specifics.  Maybe people will agree with you, or maybe you were using the ball in the wrong condition (maybe a million things). If you don't actually give specifics, then it degrades into:

Brand X sucks!
No it doesn't!
Yes it does because brand Y rulz!
No brand X rules!

I'm getting sick of people who say a certain coverstock/weightblock/company sucks because they don't match up well to it.  I rolled a Paradigm and really don't match up to it that well except on long oil conditions because it appears to need a little more oil to get it started. Unfortunately, that's a condition that I don't see very often.   Having said that,  I'm kind of interested in the Paradigm Domination because I like the Reactor coverstock alot and think it'll match up really well with the RAD+ core.  Based on what Jeff said, we may see how well it rolls at the Masters next month (if one of the Storm staffers makes it to the show).

Well, I don't collect league sheets, but the 6 consecutive balls I drilled with Reactor were the reason I switched to Brunswick.  Some of you know I used to be a diehard Storm fan.  Reactor is the reason another Storm fan that I know hasn't bought a ball in over a year and a half.  It's the reason ANOTHER friend of mine is throwing Ebonite now.  I've had complaints out of people I've drilled balls with Reactor for, and these are people I've drilled 10+ balls for before that have had nothing but praise up until then.  A pro shop guy I know says there are no bad balls, just bad reactions.  I haven't seen a good reaction out of anything with Reactor except a Super Sport Pearl, and the Hot Rod Hybrid I had.  We have a nice variety of shots here, and it doesn't work on anything.  Accu-Tread and Monsoon always drill up like a charm though.  I wasn't getting on here just to bash the coverstock and leave, I was hoping I might find a ball here or there that Storm makes that doesn't have Reactor on it so I can give my friend a few more options.  He's got a Paradigm, and likes it, but it hooks out of the house.  Think he got a Jolt solid, but he would have liked more options than that.  Yeah, Brunswick puts Activator on a lot of stuff, and I've seen people not like balls with that cover, and I haven't liked a ball or two with it myself, but I haven't seen or experienced the mass dislike or lack of success with it like I have with Reactor.

Not to stir the pot or anything, but Brunswick put Activator on the Infernos and Zones, their high-end lines.  Their mid-priced and low-end equipment had PK18, PK17, and a couple of non-Activator particles.
