Title: What do you miss most?
Post by: ITZPS on February 20, 2015, 02:04:44 PM: I really miss Monsoon, one of my favorite covers of all time, and it didn't get put on much. Super Charge one of my all time favorites, and yes, I even liked the Fear Factor.

Post by: northface28 on February 20, 2015, 02:09:29 PM: If Storm kept that cover, they'd be the Ebonite of bowling right now, irrelevant. Monsoon literally had a lane life of 25 games.

I remember the Fear Factor not being popular and had a reputation for rapid degradation, but the Super Charge was a really good ball that lasted forever. Maybe the cover got tweaked by the time the Fear Factor was released?

As cool as the Brunswick legends as been, I think it would be cool if Storm issued a retro offering from time to time. X Factor or X-IT would be cool.

Post by: ITZPS on February 20, 2015, 04:48:27 PM: Haha I realize that . . but I really loved the Super Charge. The Depth Charge I loved too, but it had Pro-Thane on it. I loved the Fear Factor after it died lol.

Post by: billdozer on February 21, 2015, 12:25:28 AM: They need to bring the rad back. Forget this other mumbo jumbo they keep throwing together... The code line would sell well here! Code red, black, green etc. Rad4 looks sweet!

I miss the ace! And triple x factor!

Someone was getting the thumb plugged on a Domination in our shop the other day. If it wasn't a 14, I probably would have offered to buy it off the guy.
RAD with R2S and it would sell a lot.

I was always interested in the Secret Agent and original Agent too

Title: Re: What do you miss most?
Post by: ITZPS on February 21, 2015, 10:10:23 AM: I could do that with my Super Charge, I could get it to flare all the way around and start rolling over my thumb just before it hit the pins.

The Agent line was great...much like the marvel line...just weaker...less overall motion. Like it had less midlane, less on the back..super controllable. Money.

I bet the legend term is owned by hammer currently.

Title: Re: What do you miss most?
Post by: greenefam on February 22, 2015, 06:24:54 PM: I miss Storm Pearl Particles! Ace, Depth Charge, Shift, etc. Storm ruled with that reaction for many years.

Title: Re: What do you miss most?
Post by: applegam on February 22, 2015, 08:57:40 PM: I like threads like this, just pure fun. Here is what I would like to see come back!

Trauma ER
Forest Fire - ball was money!
Fire Storm - that is the ball that put Storm on the map in the 90's!
Tour Power

Just one, just one come back please!

Title: Re: What do you miss most?

If you really want an updated Bolt Pro (I had one and also loved it), I'd make 2 suggestions: one, an Arsenal Low Flare Solid, and, two, the Blue Ringer.
