This ball looks awesome and I've seen some big games shot with it. I'll take one in #16 please!

[Shaneshu87]

i've never had a storm ball i liked but there are many people that love this ball, i guess the only way to discover the truth is win one and drill it up.

[MICHAEL]

[bigjimbo316]

I've never used a Storm ball before and I could use a new ball going into league next year when I rejoin.

[Aslan]

Everyone else seems to have one...I guess I should join the club.

[got_a_300]

Why would they give you another ball when you still haven't put holes in the first one you won

[Mike White]

Why would they give you another ball when you still haven't put holes in the first one you won

For Aslan, not having holes in it, doesn't make the ball any less effective.

Or should I say, having holes in it doesn't make it more effective.

[fortheloveofbowling]

I have this one and would like to have a spare for later. Great ball, reads the lane as good or better than any ball i have had.

[manke]

Haven't threw storm in a while wouldnt mind a new ball!!!

[Jaescrub]

Come on gang your suppose to be rooting for me to win ;)

[coreyds012778]

I could use another ball, well I would give these one to a friend of mine.

[jnv32185]

One of my teammates swears by Storm. I personally never rolled one but I would.

[Steven B]

From the videos I've seen this ball looks pretty sweet! I'd love to have one of those!

[bubba809]

my dream ball, send it quick:)

You said in several threads you hated this ball and sold it. Here's your quotes:

"I sold my Optimus because It had about the same reaction as my White Dot spare ball and hit like a wet noodle"

"I have had a heck of a time with the Optimus, tried different surfaces, works best for me at 500/3000,but still "lazy" reaction, hits weak. With polish it is so unpredictable."



Crazy how it's your "dream ball" now. LOL

[Amyers]

I threw one of these at a demo day and it just didn't work for me. I don't know if it was the stock drill not my pitches effecting how I threw the ball or if it just didn't work for me. I have a friend who throws a pin down one of these that makes it look great though. So I wouldn't mind having one to try out myself.

[MICHAEL]

Just in time, my other Storm stuff is worn out...

Good luck!! Would love to see your masterful skills launching this ball down the lanes!! Mr 220 up bowling friend of mine! I bowl with Genes wife
along with my wife, (while Gene is at work on Mondays), on a seniors league. We have been kicking some butt on that league! Not in first yet, but after our sweep Monday, and the way we have been winning lately I expect us to WIN THIS league!! The name of our team is Fire, ( the girls), and Ice! Fire and Ice!

[Blacksox1]

I would love to add the Storm Optimus to my signature! Good luck to board members!

[rhaith85]

I've got a friend who throws it down the lane and it strikes 85 percent of the time... I throw a zero gravity now and it's great.. Would love to add the Optimus to my small but growing arsenal.

I once was able to bowl a 237 with a house ball... Imagine the possibilities with a storm Optimus!

[peterfa]

Free is always a dream ball.

[foreverincamo]

Bowled against a team last week where one bowler on the other team had an Optimus, and it looked like it was 10 years old. Guessing he really didn't take care of it because it just looked lifeless. He never threw it that night. I promise I'd take care of a new one!

[ragstormfan]

I'm a patriotic lad, so the red, white, & blue is appealing. Plus, would love to have this ball as a newer version of the Marvel Pearl (as a guy who never had that ball)! Overall, a win-win for me.

[toddgeers]

I have a good friend that rolls this ball. It helps his 202 average stay strong. Very consistent, and hard hitting!

[Jaescrub]

I'm just saying I have a feeling I'm going to win this ball all my good karma has to come back at some point right? This would be the storm ball trifecta for my bag. I have faith I'll win ha ha ha. I might even win the bowling ball Crux give a way as well that will go to my wife as I ordered one up and had it drill first outing with it will be tonight ;)

[larry mc]

Alot of people really tearing it up at my local center with this ball

[mike_thomas93]

Thought about looking more into their equipment. Guess i gotta start somewhere
