It apears Storm is set to release a new ball. Bowlers Journal mentions 2/5/13.
I seen a picture of the actual ball and its Asymetrical and it's a Solid.
Just wondering what ball the Sync will replace? I know the NANO has been since March 2011... so could it be that it's time to replace the NANO with some newer stronger core or some newer coverstock creation?
Your thoughts?
-
I'm hoping they stick with the ERG that's in the Lucid. For me, the NRG much like R3X was just too much.
Strangley, I loved the Anarchy.

I completely agree Xcessive. I had to sell my Nano just because I never had enough oil to throw it. I was so excited when it came out and was throughly disappointed with it. Same when the Invasion came out. Just too much cover strenght that it burned up. They never should have discontinued the Original VG. I too LOVE the Anarchy. Gets through the heads enough. I've got two in reserve in the basement!

I could not read the box in the pic as it was too blurry. Could anyone read which cover, rg, diff, and mb strength it had?
Thanks

I believe that was done intentionally. Leaking a little information just to build up anticipation.

To all whom inquire,
I will go on record to say this piece will outsell the VG and Nano (for those avg league bowlers whom lived by that piece, and in my area i've seen plenty, but like all of you I agree, ultra strong piece, too strong if you have more than like 8 degrees of tilt, OMG!)!!!!!

I don't think you know what tilt is....

GutterbyArrows
You're right i don't know what "tilt" is.
But what little i do know, the ball is forgiving in areas where other high end pieces are not.
Happy Holidays

LOL

I haven't loved an asymmetrical with any kind of normal layout in years....all the new asymmetricals roll at my feet. Good for going straight on oil that I'll never see.....i miss the strong core weak cover combinations. Doubt we'll see any company go back that route cause they can con people into buying the "more hook" and there are enough people out there who still need it. For the people that don't need it too bad i guess.....even the lucid is pukey for me. How about reactor on this new core??? That would sell and strike.
-
.....i miss the strong core weak cover combinations.
Um, IQ Tour and IQ Tour Pearl?
-
Those are the opposite....weak core strong cover....
-
Storm has been 'demoing' this at numerous match makers the past 3 months or so; it was definitely strong & wass more responsive in the mid-lane and backend, but not stronger as an Invasion. It reminded me (color wise) to a Red Sun Storm.
-
but not stronger as an Invasion.
Thank God for that. What a pile that ball was.
-

JustRico,
When you say "stronger as an Invasion"... are you meaning upfront and early strong, or backend strong? My guess is your saying upfront strong but I'm just wanting confirmation.
When seeing this ball being demoed at the Matchmakers, how would you guess it may compare to the Invasion and Nano?
-
Stronger should always mean earlier or front to back...not angular. The Invasion was deemed a less than conducive was that it was early and not very Storm like...and as I thought I referenced it was like a Nano on steroids or more mid lane & back end
-
The Sync is up on BuddiesProShop.com. NRG Solid with a new core that has wicked numbers. Chris Forry's review states it is 5 boards stronger than the Nano with a similar layout. That core has flat out sick numbers...this ball is going to need oil.
-
And it's not solid red like first thought (or told) it is 3 colors with part being the original red

Heres a vid of the ball in action.
-
Definitely earlier and much more continuous than the Nano. Should appeal to the â€dump & runâ€,guys who loved the original VG..
-
Yes I had it 4-2 stronger than my Nano with the same layout and cover prep! Definitely more mid-lane read! Wish they had kept the solid red color though.
-
Check out all the reviews from STORM's page on the Sync.
And look how high the Itermediate Differential is - 0.028

Mine is 2 arrows stronger than my nano but i feel my nano needs a resurface LOL.
My review is on storms site as well
-
The Sync has some pretty sick diff numbers...
-
Very. But I have to wonder with the Lucid doing so well, why turn away from the MAD core and the ERG cover. The numbers suggest that it will be sooner and even earlier rolling than the NANO...which was very condition specific as is. Ugh...
-
I"m guessing Storm will release a pearl version of the Sync sometime next year and it may incorporate the ERG cover. I guess we'll have to wait and see. My guess is that they'll end up calling the pearl version of the Sync...the N'Sync? lol

Only question is would calling it the N'Sync be copyright infringement, just as the Storm Domination and Ebonite Mission Domination was?
-
The pearl version would be named the Attune. If by chance they make a hybrid... call it the Tandem.
-
An antonym of sync is deviate or "dv8" lol ..
Looking at words..."diverge" might be cool as a ball name to mean the opposite, for the pearl. But who knows!
-
Synergy would be good but that has been taken.
-
Unreal ball ... can't wait to be able to use it in competition.

100% agree with Riggs on his assessment of the SYNC... Very accurate description in the physical traits of the SYNC

Riggs- How would you compare the Sync to the Roto Grip Defiant?
-
I can't make a comparison cuz I only throw Storm. Sorry.
-
Ask Satan he could make a comparison after he gets a Sync. :)
I can't make a comparison cuz I only throw Storm. Sorry.
-
I'm not a messenger boy. :D
-
If my observation helps and those interested don't mind <
SYNC vs. Defiant
Fronts- smoother, tighter rolling (more of stable than Defiant)
Mids- still smooth, heavier traction (more arc at this point than Defiant)
Breakpoint- round continual circular motion (whereas Defiant uses its energy to stand up at the break, entering the pins more vertical)
SYNC may very well handle volume the same if not more than the Defiant, while seeming to use its energy in equal parts as its rotating. Of course the ability to do so will likely be a subject of debate for many.
I was able to get the deepest with the SYNC as compared to the Defiant, Defiant Edge and Lucid

Thanks MJH and Riggs
