There are several Storm bowling balls that would be close to the
Storm Trauma here is a few that would be a close match.

1. Storm Crossroad
2. Storm Manic
3. Storm Sync

and in the Roto Grip line

1. Roto Grip Wrecker
2. Roto Grip Disturbed
3. Roto Grip Berserk

This is just a few there are more that would be close also.

It looks like the Trauma was released in 2001 and has a Pearl Coverstock, an R.G of 2.51, a Diff. of .059 and a core that resembles either the current C3 (Master line core) or the Fe3 (Thunder line core).

With nothing else to go on, it looks like the one of the closest matches to the physical layout of the Trauma is the Storm Fire Road in the Thunder Line (Crossroad is close also but it is a Hybred cover). The IQ Tour Pearl or Marvel Pearl (Master Line) are close also.

I currently don't have any Roto Grip in my bag, but my wife LOVES her Disturbed. I have different Storm Balls ranging from the Tropical line up through the Premier line, and i could easily recommend any of them depending on lane condition and bowling style.

It might be best just to have your buddy head over to the nearest pro shop and see what they tell him.

We did that as well as asked strong what they thought with you makes three for the fire road. I guess that's the one we will get him. He liked the iq as well so if I win tht ball this week it will go to him thanks for all the help and any mods can delet this or lock it up thanks for the input every one.

Fire Road....I don't know anybody who likes that ball. Seems to be very condition specific. Hope it all works out for him!

I hated my Fire Road. It was the ball I won from here so I can't complain too much. Sold it with less than 10 games on it.
