Word on the street
« on: February 23, 2015, 03:38:11 PM »
I've heard that the word on the street is that Storm are going to be releasing a new ball into the Hot Line at the end of April.

Coverstock: Reactor Hybrid Reactive
Weight Block: Cruiser Core
Ball Colour: Scarlet Red/Platinum Pearl
Fragrance: Paradise Punch

That's all i've managed to scrounge off the net so far, i'm interested to see what the core does on this one and how it will compare to the lights out which personally i loved.

this is worse than Brunswick's 'brute' with the phallic logo on it. 


I hadn't noticed that until you pointed that out tbh hahaha

After seeing it now, not interested anymore.

 I wish they would have stuck with the Turbine core or just raised the RG of the Turbine core. High RG and low diff hasn't rolled too great for me in my 2 attempts with the RG Shout and Motiv Ascent Apex

This, these high rg/low diff balls are f*cking terrible. This type of ball does tricks all over the lane.

I no longer work for Storm, so I do not have a dog in the fight. But I could care less what the logo looks like as long as the ball does what it's intended to. Hell, how many guys threw Divas with hearts on them or Jewels with a woman's band on them?

You could or could not care less?  :P

Is the logo cheesy? Yeah, kinda. But we have seen worse. Will the circle with Ride inside affect the reaction? Nope.

When you have the majority of the market share all u can do is lose it.  This release will not gain or even maintain ground.  Just saying. Poor move by the marketing dept.  It ain't my job to design  a ball, but I can definitely go buy something else! :)  this is worse than Brunswick's 'brute' with the phallic logo on it. 

Like I said, I'm glad it's not my job! 


No the Brute is far worst. When the logo is upside down there is no doubt it was intentional in deign and obviously over looked by others.

Look at some of the best looking balls that have released over the years in any price point and how keeping it simple worked so well. Best example is the Ebonite Total NV, that ball looked like a million bucks. Thing I hated about Morich and now some of Radicals stuff is the damn pot smoking hipping names and looks. smh seriously.

The Vibe, Strike King, Cyclone and others show how awesome an entry point ball can be and useful.

Here is your classic Track core being used on several balls

…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.
