Title: Storm Coverstock Time-Table
Post by: n00dlejester on December 29, 2009, 02:12:14 PM: I've only been seriously into bowling since say 2006-ish. I know Storm has a handful of coverstocks since then, but I'd like to know information about ALL their RESIN coverstocks from their first resin ball up to the new R3X.

Here's what I know - there are gaps in my knowledge, feel free to fill them in! Don't worry about particles or pearl or hybrids - just a timetable of coverstocks.

From oldest to newest:

Accu-Tread
Monsoon
Reactor
R2X
R3X

Some stayed in the foothills, some washed logs like teeth.

That's interesting. In my personal experiences, I would flip flop a few of the covers in the strong-to-weak list. Did you e-mail Storm for this?
