What Remake would you like from Storm?
« on: March 05, 2007, 01:32:18 AM »
Over the past year or so the major ball manufacturers have been going through a bit of a nostalgia / remake phase (which I like).  Within the past couple months AMF came out with a remade NightHawk, RotoGrip came out with a reissued SD-73, and Storm has released a couple of close-to-but-not-quite balls like the El Nino Returns.

If you could ask Storm to remake one ball what would it be and why?

For me I would pay relatively large sums of money for a brand new Eraser.  There are plenty of good oil balls on the market but in my opinion the ball manufacturers punt a bit when it comes to the medium-dry to dry balls.  The Eraser was it for me when the lanes began to break down and there is nothing in the current lineup for me that compares.

Fire Power... Versatile and sounds like glass shattering when it hits the pin. Shot 699 with this ball.

If I may say, bring back the Hotrod Hybrid!!! Best ball ever made by Storm and I know there are some on Ebay, but just bring it on out again.

Another vote for the Eraser.  Mine died after 200+ games and two resurfacings.

I also loved the Trauma ER, but the coverstock died too, even more quickly than the Eraser

Oh yes! The Hybrid is an awesome ball. I shot new personal record with it yesterday. 214-218-237-268 =937. The last 3 games =723. Or bring back the original X-factor.

Yeah I was saying why not make a Thunderstruck Hybrid or T-Road Hybrid?  Or just remake the HR/HB and just call it a Thunderstruck so it fits in with the line.

Original Trauma was an outstanding ball....That`s my first choice. The Eraser is a close 2nd.

Bring back the Trauma Response; the bowling world really needs another Green, orange and blue ball.

In all seriousness, though, I would like to see the Eraser Boost, Eraser Blaze and Core Power LRG brought back. I think the Powerball core was one of the hardest hitting they ever had, and the Cadmium cover was cut out way too quickly.

As much as I loved balls like the Too Hot, Bolt Pro and Lightning Flash (still have / throw them)...I would LOVE to see the Tour Power come back out.

I would like to see the Eraser Boost and Blaze released again.  I still have my Boost and it is still ripping, but my Blaze has a crack in it from the pin to the finger 5 inches away.
