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.

El-Nino Gold is the only one I ever owned I'd like to pick up again. I wanted a Deuce but decided against it back in the day, I'd probably pick that up if they remade it. And maybe a Trauma ER

My vote is for the La Nina (will hook on ice), then Eraser.

Trauma ER and the Depth Charge but I'm lucky enough to have a NIB Depth Charge in the closet.

Bolt Pro, by a small margin over the Tour Power. Never threw a TP, but liked the reaction I saw from it. I loved the reaction of the BP on any and all mediums, and quite a few drier conditions I faced back then.

original trauma hands down  the eraser was a great ball too


I'll second that! Accu Tread pearl with a stronger core than the Jolts, e. g. the Trauma core, the Dark Thunder core (similar to Eraser?) or the current TWin V core from the Fire series (my favorite as a current release). Should be smoother and a tad earlier than the Reactor coverstock balls, but with the Thunderstruck Pearl in the current line-up there will be no gap for this ball, I guess?
