I didn't, but I think it's a nice looking ball motion for Storm. I would put holes in one. If I was to start a Storm arsenal, I think I could get away with a 6 ball arsenal from them. Their whole line looks good. If I didn't dig 900 Global so much, I could see doing something like that. Hope that Storm has a winner on their hands.

While I am interested in the Sync core, I was disappointed to see the NRG cover on this ball. I have heard from so many people that have difficulty getting the VGN and Vivid through the heads, I was hoping to see the ERG or at least a modified version of NRG. As such, I will be waiting for a pearl or hybrid version.

I'll be getting mine next Monday at a Storm Seminar.  I have one coming tomorrow for a buddy of mine.  It will be interesting to see the results as we have exact opposite styles.  He is a straighter up the track type player, while i'm more of a cranker.

Its about 5/3 stronger, noticably so in the midlane. Keep in mind my Nano has 15+ games tops, so the cover is still fresh. I was on Scorpion, when the track blew up, the Nano was better as it was longer and I could circle the lane more. The Sync was better on the fresh to beat up the track. With that said, ill have a hard time keeping both balls in the bag. Ill probably retire/sell the Nano.

Thanks!  Looks like I can finally retire the Nano after around 200+ games.  Is the motion similar to any past Storm ball that you can think of?

The original VG, make no mistake, the original is STILL better in my estimation. Now obviously, the Sync is newer and stronger. But the VG had the "it" factor. Intially, I dont see it filling the VG shoes, bbut its damn close.

I figured it would a good amount stronger...my nano has way too many games on it to honestly compare the two.  My sync has 20 games on it...I love the motion...it just has more midlane and more oomph off the spot than my nano or vivid..this will be a winner, no doubt.

I should have mine Thursday. Went to a Sync seminar yesterday in Akron and the ball is strong and continuous as advertised. Really interested in this ball, I seem to throw lower RG, higher differential balls really well. I'm going to punch it out the same as my Lucid, and see how much stronger the Sync is. Got to see a few people throw it but they were pre-drilled balls so I don't know how how good a fit the bowlers had or what lane conditions were out.

I didn't order one because I really can't afford it. Plus I don't bowl in a lot of tournaments that sometimes need stronger equipment. Mainly THS. Looks like a great ball and maybe sometime in the next year or so I'll pick up a used one.

I may potentially replace my Defiant with this at some point.  The motion looks really good from what I've seen so far on the reviews.

Tommy,


While I believe the sync would be a great ball to punch up, why not buy another defiant?

For some reason, I can see storm making a polished hybrid with the g2 core as a complimentary ball. The lucid is still selling well and I see no reason for another pearl for now. Also, with the defiant soul being only about a month old, it would be sorta stupid for two dull hybrids be out. I also see this series becoming similar to the theory series. Dull solid, polished hybrid, dull pearl, and maybe something special like etm in a hybrid I dont know.
