Title: What Remake would you like from Storm?
Post by: greenefam 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.

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.

either the blue thunder or the super power. the blue thunder was a beast when it came out, coast to coast! and the super power was smooth all the way to the breakpoint.

I always wanted a Trauma ER but never picked one up.  That ball seemed to look good for everyone that I saw use it.  I would want the original cover not "a new cover for today's oil."

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

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.

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?

OK, so according to my math the leaders for this request are:

Tour Power 10 (I've never thrown this ball - now I want to based on this tread)
Eraser 7

Honorable mention goes to the Trauma and Trauma ER with 5 each

any more votes?
