That smell though...

Anyone know if the smell of the Tour Fusion becomes more mellow after a while? New ones certainly knock my socks off.

Sorry to give you bad news, but I got mine on February 6th, and the smell is still going strong.

I drilled mine in January and it has lightened up. And I have cleaned it once, with around 40 games on it. The performance hasn't changed though. She is just as strong as game 1 for me also.

Has the smell weakened slightly, or have you grown use to it? :P

Weakened smell. I ordered a case when they first released, and when I opended the package, the smell smacked you in the face. The smell of a new Fusion can be overwhelming, honestly. But I have noticed with all of my customers, that the smell has tamed itself. I think Storm purposely enhanced the smell of this one, as I have bowlers on opposing teams always asking, "who has tbe blueberry ball?" The smell is noticeable from a far, and smell is the strongest thing tied to memory. Hope some of this helps.

No problem! I just hope the Berries and Cream has a nice aroma on the wall and rack. Between my current grape, blueberry, and vanilla grip sack, it definitely makes me a little hungry  ;D

Man I would love a fusion but the smell kills me. I'm a person that gets head aches walking by bath and body works store, the fusion gets me the same way.

Yea I really hate everything blueberries too.  I honestly almost didn't buy this ball just because of the smell, but man im glad I did. its my benchmark. bought in Feb. and blueberries still invading my bag. definitely worth it though.  on a side note, I really loved the spearmint smell of the Marvel-S. Makes me want to chew gum.

I've had storm balls for awhile now and out of all the balls I've own, the Crossraod had the strongest and longest smell of all. It made the storage rental smell, then i moved it to the garage at home and it made the whole garage smell. I've since sold that ball last month and still, the bag I used still smells like the CR. .......

Surprised they haven't joined the bacon craze! Hahaha! That would be a pretty distracting smell on the lanes I would think!
