I've heard good things about this ball. The people who have one seem to really like them.

[eugene02]

would want to try out this ball!

[RoccoRock]

Saw a guy using on last Thursday in the lanes next to me. It looked fantastic, it didnt hurt that it was in the hands of one of the best bowlers in the area.

[striker12]

i would love to try this ball out probly would give me the performance that i am looking for that my other balls are not giving me at the moment

[The German Shepherd]

Excellent ball! Not a hard-flipping ball, but more of a continuous and predictable/heavy rolling ball. I love mine - leeaves very few 10 pins due to it's heavy rolling properties.

jay thats good to heard i would love a ball that leaves a few 10pins cause atm im having trouble with my 10pins andwould be good practice at them but every one of my other bowlin gballs every games leaves about 2-4 splits but mostly from just cutting threw the pins.

last wednesday i left up the 1-2-4-6-10 5 times in the 3rd game with my HHR and 2 more times on the 2nd game. but i scored bad that day a 128-136-131 and thats will every bowling ball i had and they where all over hooking i jsut wished i have drilled up my uranthane ball it would of done perfect.
because my freeze was abit too much a hook and my plastic ball was abit to less soo i thought if i had a urathane i would of been able to hit the pocket perfectly

[kb90]

this is supposed to be a great high performance ball...hope I get lucky!

[MICHAEL]

Give me a chance to redeem the Good Name of the ball! Let me show to the world, that it WAS a defective one! How Great would it be for me to bowl a 300 game, using one that had a GOOD Cover stock! What and experiment it would be!! Was it truly as I was told, “A Bad Ball”, or was it just not suited to Iceman!! What better way to make a Vivid Statement! Lol ()

[billf]

Storm....yuck lol

So you'll donate it to the local high school team when you win it?

What scent does the Yuck have? I bet it's something new.

[MICHAEL]

What scent does the Yuck have? I bet it's something new.

No one knows what the scent is, but when you stick your nose deep down into the balls thumb hole, the response is always the same! YUCK!! Thus the name and smell!! Many PBA players that have tried it out have said that they had no luck, with the YUCK! In fact many said that they not only had no luck with the Yuck, but they got stuck in the YUCK, some really bad luck,,,,, it suck!!! Don’t purchase one Bill!! HOPE FOR THE VIVID, LIKE myself!!

Seriously, My Vivid hooks sometimes when my Nexxus won't!

Jay

[striker12]

jay that same thing happens to me when i throw my HHR and the nuts when the HHR is not hooking anymore the nuts just takes over and no matter what adjustment i make it still gose to high into the pocket and then when the nuts dose not hook the HHR will sometimes but worst of it alkl my HHR dose not want to hook on dryer lane conditions.

[MICHAEL]

[QUOTE=The German Shepherd;48527]Seriously, My Vivid hooks sometimes when my Nexxus won't!

Jay

Jay, my Vivid did not hook! Even had the Pro, that drilled it take a look, and he agreed! Not all Vivids have problems,,,, I just know mine did, and from what my driller said, others have had that problem too!! Dude's Vivd, under the right conditions, works sweet! Wish I could get my fingers in his ball to try it out!!
maybe if I win, i can put the bad vivid to rest!! LOL...(:)

[Hot_pocket]

I'm in definitely... roto grip and storm have become my favorite companies now that i dont just take the advice of the guy at my local pro shop.

[RoccoRock]

Thia is the same model ball Etrain won, right? We bowl in the same league, and have bowled together a few times this summer. He was raving about this ball. He was doing well with it too, last time I saw him he used it to take some cash off his friend.

So I just got this message notification saying I won the giveaway for July 16-22, but it was addressed to GeorgiaStroker and was for the two ball tote bag. Not sure if they forgot to make changes before sending me that message or what to make of it. Also I can't even find the message thread for that week.

Georgia Stroker won a two ball tote about a month ago. I think they have been short handed lately so last weeks contest probably slipped through the cracks until they realized it, then they probably cut and pasted from the last time they gave that product away and forgot to change the greeting. I would send a reply message asking for clarification but I would guess you are the proud owner of a new bag.

[TheSheibs]

Yeah, I sent them a message mentioning this. Just waiting for a reply.

[Cuda K5]

I looked into this ball before I bought my Nexxus. Would this ball be less aggressive than my Nexxus? I'd definitely like to get a lighter less agressive ball for drier lanes

[billf]

A little less aggressive but not for drier lanes

[RoccoRock]

I have my fingers crossed on this one. My pro shop guy recommended I use a stronger ball with the way I throw it now. He mentioned the Vivid would be perfect.

[striker12]

i wouldn't mined the vivid for my first storm ball cause it would come in handy it would let me close up the lane abit more

[Cuda K5]

A little less aggressive but not for drier lanes

thanks, I'd definitely like to try it out in a 15 or 14lbs ball to see if that is more comfortable than a 16

[ursus]

Congrats Ball99999!!! Hope you enjoy that brand new Vivid

How do you know he won? I don't see an announcement yet. But if Bill's theory is correct he probably did win.

[Ball99999]

Hello everyone!
I woke up today and checked bowlingboards.com with my iphone and saw a yellow 1 at the top for a new message, checked it and couldn't believe my eyes; I didn't think it was legit/didn't even know about a contest. I am beyond excited and thank you so much for this!
I was actually looking for a heavy oil ball to complete my set up, this is amazing.
I'm sorry that I'm a newbie and won but I'm a huge bowling lover so it's going to go to a good home.

Gratz Ball9s.

[Ball99999]

Thanks!

I am quite excited to get this ball; part of Storm's "premiere" line. I don't want to ruin it though by getting it drilled until I get a consistent release though. Is this ball for THS or more for sport patterns?

[BowlingBoards.com]

Yes, congrats to Ball99999 for winning the Vivid!!

[The Mayor]
