Should I Buy the Storm Sync?

[Greenday]

Well, if you noticed in the other thread, I am obsessed with the Storm Sync. It looks utterly amazing. I've been watching the videos on youtube and it's driving me crazy. I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting a nice tax return coming up so money's not an issue. It's only $160 on the web on various bowling sites.

Right now, I have a Storm Frantic, Storm Tropical Breeze, Storm Invasion, and a random plastic ball. Clearly, the Sync would be my really heavy oil ball. It's so strong, it'd give me the ability to easily play through the middle, get outside, but still come back and smash the hell out of the pocket.

So what do you guys think? Do I REALLY need the Sync? I say yes, but I need impartial opinions.

Oh, and the deal I offered in the other thread is still on the table. I will trade my body and/or soul for this ball if someone wants to buy me one.

If you look closely all the sites have the same pricing on balls. That's due to some kind of ruling where the manufacturers control how low they can sell them for. Being a competitive industry they naturally almost all go with the lowest allowed.

Now for the ball...............yes you need it. Really? No. But you deserve to have the ball you want.

I've heard of the Soul bowling ball, never the Body though >.<

[billf]

That would be a cool line up: the mind, body and soul
For churcj leagues they could make the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

if you really want it id get it. Its not necessary to get but if you love it as much as you say you do, why not spoil yourself?

[Greenday]

The real question is, does it add enough variety to my arsenal that it'd be worth it?

the ball would go in perfectly into your arsenal that you already got im thinking on maby getting one my self but im going to drill mine opasite of my HRR my HRR is pin down so i would go with a pin up but this ball is a great ball due to videos but videos get edited a lot and don't show errors that much but with me it could give me a little erro to the right by 1-2 boards and still beable to get back into the pocket.

so if you really want the ball and you got money coming in, get it if it is really what you want its your choice i normally on here get 2 or 3 balls picked out make a thread and have people on here pick between the 3 on witch one i should get and the one with the most votes i get, it helps rather then having to sit there and think of witch one.

It would be a great ball to add to your arsenal; it's a win-win situation since you are obsessed with it and are getting a nice tax return. You might get some naysayers that will tell you that you don't need it, but you gotta treat yourself to a present here and there in life.

Looking at your arsenal,i'd say yes you need this ball! I'd say 5 boards more then the Invasion.

No, the real question is do you ever really bowl on heavy oil? Do you bowl in a sport league, travel to bowl in tournaments, or bowl in PBA regionals? If the answer to any of these is yes, then you need this ball.

I bowl in a league on Wednesdays where the amount of oil seems to vary. There have been weeks where it's so flooded that I practically have to throw a straight ball. Then some weeks it's lighter on the oil and I can still throw over the third arrow and have it come back.

I bowl a no-tap tournament once a month. They use a heavy oil pattern.

I'm also trying to find more tournaments that have handicaps but it's tough to find. I'm getting better and have actually managed to shoot consistent 180-190 on a sports pattern when I tried one out (Tokyo 43). But it seems most are scratch and I don't know if I'm ready to do a scratch tournament. I highly doubt I could win one right now, but I'd be willing to wager I won't be at the bottom.

Looks like you'll be getting a new Sync. Hope it works well for you.
