Is the Diablo weight block used in any other balls?
« on: January 29, 2008, 09:56:59 AM »

Hey Stormheads -- I have heard that Storm used the weight block from the Diablo in other offerings. Does anyone know if that is true, and, if so, what balls that may be?

thx!

I think the Fired Up, Diablo and Rapid Fire are all the same block.

Spit Fire and Sure Fire also are the same block - they use an inverted version of the Fired Up, Diablo and Rapid Fire. (Clarified - sorry if my initial post caused any confusion.)

The Diablo has a Twin-V, I believe. I know that the Rapid Fire uses the same block. I think that the Fired Up and Pyro did, too.

The Sure Fire and Spit Fire use the same block, but it's inverted in those balls.

A lot of people using the words "I think" out here, what's going on Storm Nation?!

Twin V = Diablo, Fired Up, Pyro, Rapid Fire(new)
Inverted Twin V = Spit Fire, Sure Fire

Fired Up, Diablo, Pyro and now the Rapid Fire all have the same weightblock.  The Spit Fire and Sure Fire use the inverted version(flip block on the bottom instead of the top).

This is the first I have heard of the Rapid Fire...
When is it supposed to release and is there any literature on it.
