Just so everyone knows The lack of a contest thread was due to a switchover to a new system.

[Shaneshu87]

cool thank you for getting this figured out Bowl1820! i would love to give the optimus a try i was not very impressed with the IQ fusion.

[coreyds012778]

optimus is on my short list of what I want next. so is the bw legend

I was kinda confused about the ball contest worked. oh well, came here for knowledge anyway.

[Jaescrub]

Maybe this will "transform" some ones game ha!

Really?! I haven't gotten mine drilled up yet, as i'm just getting back into the game and want to figure out my delivery before I get it drilled. What didn't you like about it?
BTW: I'd be interested in having an Optimus. Looks like a nice, arc-y ball...

[fortheloveofbowling]

I just drilled one of these and it is a really nice ball. One of those balls that just seem to read the lane correctly, doesn't go straight left off the dry and reads the oil line enough to get out the ten on half pocket hits. Honestly you don't see a lot of pearl storm balls that do that. This is a good one and i wouldn't mind having a spare for later.

I've been looking at one of these also. My wife doesn't like this one either for some reason so I would actually get to keep it

[coreyds012778]

my wife always "what's mine is mine, what yours is mine"

sadly that is true.

Are you sure our wives haven't met?

[coreyds012778]

think it is in sometype of handbook.

[foreverincamo]

I like my DV8 Mutiny Marauder, but I have been looking at this Storm ball since it came out. I would love to have it. My wife is Hammer loyal so I don't have to worry about her wanting this one.

[tccstudent]

I don't get all hyped up over pearls ever. I have heard some talk of this ball. I ain't planning on buying anything new right now. But I would like to give this a test drive. The only way I see that happening is to win it or if a certain friend gets his hand on one.

Who is this friend?

[bdtrob300]

I've been hearing lots of noise about this ball. I would love to give it a toss...

[tccstudent]

Rodney the one you were talking about getting in a fight during league

[Jaescrub]

Rodney the one you were talking about getting in a fight during league
Ha ha ha ok. Just had to ask thought you might be implying me thinking I had good odds of winning this weeks ha ha

[Aslan]

I MUST HAVE THIS BALL!!!

1) I really, really need more bowling balls. All my bowling equipment was stolen and then in the act of theft it was lit on fire.
2) I have a HUGE match coming up IN VEGAS...against none other than Iceman!! So...if I were to defeat him using this ball...he would of course go out and buy one thinking that it MUST have been this new fangled ball!!!

Also, it is a great color scheme...I'm sure it smells wonderful...and it is my birthday.

They must have seen him bowl :cool:

Just kidding

[Aslan]

I CAN'T WAIT until I get to bowl you in person!! Granted, due to Deliverance...I won't be doing that in West Virginia. But someday...you will join the club of MWhite and soon to be Iceman as BBers that have words to eat!! Indeed.

Deliverance was set in Georgia not West Virginia. You know that one was to good to pass up

[fortheloveofbowling]

I hear banjos, run!!!!!!

[rv driver]

Storm needs to come up with a ball that not only smells like hillbilly, but actually plays a banjo tune (imbedded in the core) as it rolls down the lane. they could call it "The Sqealer!"

or the "Nbreed"

[Aslan]

Great. Now other than black lung, West Virginia has nothing to be proud of.

[tccstudent]

Sure they do West Virginia ranks 2nd in the nation on fewest branches on a family tree right behind Arkansas

[toddgeers]

I would like to try a Storm ball, I've only bowled Ebonite equipment.

[foreverincamo]

I wanted to buy the Optimus. My Marauder Mutiny was less than half the price and I'm on a budget like most people. I'll take it if I win it!

[sara2117]

I have an Optimus and I absolutely love it!! I would love to win this for my Dad.

[JJStriker]

I mostly bowl with Motiv but would love to try the Optimus. My sister has it and has had nothing but great things to say about it. She says it smells great too.

I keep my bowling shoes in the same bag as my ball. No sane person would even try to steal my foul smelling bowling ball.

[MICHAEL]

Put me down for a shot please! I like what the proshop guy said about this puppy!! He wants me to take one to Vegas! Hummmm

[STRYKER]

would be awesome to have this going into leagues this season

[MiggityMatt]

If I win this ball, I promise to help protect it from any and all Decepticons.

[Aslan]

I think I should win it and defeat you with it…and because its red, white, and blue….defeating you with it would mean you're unAmerican. Even more insult to the already soon to be shaken ego!

#AslanVictoryVegas2014

[tccstudent]

Give it to me and I vow to make it a deception and attempt word domination

[foreverincamo]

I still don't understand adding fragrance to a bowling ball. Never heard a pro bragging how good his bowling ball smelled after winning a title.

[Mike White]

I still don't understand adding fragrance to a bowling ball. Never heard a pro bragging how good his bowling ball smelled after winning a title.

The version of the story I heard was that the owner of Storm Bowling used to be in the cleaning products business, and they found if they put a fragrance in the product it sold better.

Then decided to give it a try in the bowling business.

Yes, they do sell better, but I think that is more due to the technical design, than the aroma.

[Joker]

would love this ball

[Sylvia]

My friend has one and I lover the reaction. It's pretty also.

[foreverincamo]

Wonder if they could make one and duplicate the smell of New Jersey in August?

[MICHAEL]

I have a CLOSE friend that works for Storm, who said they are working on a ball to be Called: Aslan! Yes it's a ball that no matter who YOU ARE, your game WILL NOT improve no matter HOW much coaching you get, even from ROB!!!!

Its fragrance will be Musty Closet!

Yes the ball THAT keeps on NOT GIVING, and smells like musty closet bowling balls, with dirty used unclean bowling cloths!

YES,,, the Aslan ball from Storm,,, The low performance ball for guys/gals that want to make a statement!

"Hey look at me, I can't bowl, but its my balls fault!"

Why use the crappy oil thing, when all you have to do is buy a ASLAN BALL, from Storm!

Man can you imagine Belmo throwing that. The ball lands and just limps into the six pen

[jnv32185]

Every time I hear about this ball I always instantly think of Transformers. I never can call it a Storm Optimus, I always end up calling it a Optimus Prime. Then I correct myself afterwards.

[larry mc]

i want this 1 bad

[Aslan]

If Storm made a ball for me it would be called "Ice Salt" and smell like victory.

[Blacksox1]

I would be pleased to add this Storm ball to my signature!

Amazing, with all the Photoshop skills Aslan seems to think you have, you left the Brunswick Logo on a Storm bowling ball.

[bubba809]

This is the kind of ball my Dad needs.

[rv driver]

...and it makes the sound of a squeaky wheel as it wrestles its way down the lane...

He's almost 66. They say the labido gives out at 64, the eyes at 65. Usually the mental sharpness starts to fade around 69....but for some reason that waved bye-bye to him many moons ago.
