Release Date: July 10, 2012
Design *
Looking at the core, we’ll power the Fire Road™ with the proven Inverted Fe3 Technology weight block first introduced in the Victory Road™.* This particular shape is extremely driller and bowler friendly; you would be hard pressed to find anyone who does not like the look and the hook of this shape! The advancements made in Fe³ allowed us to utilize a larger mass to increase the dynamics, upping the differential approximately 15%.*
But ball reaction is the product of both core and coverstock. And while the Victory Roads and Crossroad™ all utilize the proven R2S™ coverstock, we’re stepping it up a notch and encasing the weight block with an R2X™ blend that has previously been reserved for the biggest hitters like the Virtual Gravity™. With a smoothly polished 1500-grit finish and pearl blend, the new Fire Road is sure to fire up the pins and the pocket.
Are you getting fired up yet? We are!
Remember that Storm continues to develop innovative technology combined with fine workmanship.*That’s why we are “The Bowler’s Company™.”*

Brain Storm a clear ball with a brain in it.
Spare Ball

[eugene02]

Brain Storm a clear ball with a brain in it.
Spare Ball

Plainly disgusting to me..

[MinnesotaBowler]

I agree! Seems kind of weird to have a brain rolling down the lane :p

[The German Shepherd]

Roto Grip Berserk:

"Next to the Outlaw and Bandit, what do you think we will be seeing? You guessed it, a Hybrid version. The new Berserk will continue using the Caliber weight block and a hybrid 65MH cover. Recall this core offers a strong defined move at the breakpoint. The Outlaw is a great control motion ball while the Bandit has a flippy reaction. Sometimes the hybrids are more than the sum of their parts so I’m looking forward to seeing the motion out of this one."

Spare Ball

I wonder what brain for storm came up with that idea, I agree eugune,,, gross,,, sounds like what the family from hell would be bowing with in a earlier thread!! LOL.... (:)

[MICHAEL]

I wonder if you can telepathically communicate with the ball? You know discuss the speed and angle, revs ect! How cool would that be,,, a ball with artificial intelligence,,, I have heard of smart bombs, but,,,, BUT smart balls?? I can just see a guy/gal standing there after the ball returns from the ally, discussing just what went wrong on the last throw!! lol...

LOL! family from hell sounds bad........... but it's totally gross... Wouldn't even want to have a second look at the ball...

Ummm, please don't tell me that I'm the only one the talks to their bowling balls. I have been told many times over the years that I'm insane.............

[Stormed1]

Hammer also has the Cobalt Vibe. Columbia has the Voilent Eruption and the Wicked Encounter to go along with the Oath and the Hybrid and solid Freezes

[nev]

Ummm, please don't tell me that I'm the only one the talks to their bowling balls. I have been told many times over the years that I'm insane.............

Thats where I go wrong
I swear at mine :D

[billf]

I do that when they don't listen. What else are you suppose to do when you yell for it to hook or hold and they don't listen? Maybe nest time I will stick them in the corner.

[Florida Bowler]

If they don't listen, you need to put them in timeout. I've tried spanking, but it hurt me more than it hurt them.

ew Jason! that wasn't needed!!!!!! Fugly BALL!

[billf]

I kind of like it. Really surprised that Storm didn't come out with that name years ago Brain Storm just has a natural ring to it.

[Florida Bowler]

What's next, $#!^ storm?

[GeorgiaStroker]

Hail Storm. With hail the size of bowling balls.

[eugene02]

Maybe some polyester by the name of Blizzard Storm.. blah blah.. hahah

[billf]

What's next, $#!^ storm?

Because as we all know, $#!^ rolls down hill. With our new advances in technology Storm guarantees that your new $#!^ Storm ball will roll hard into the pocket as if rolling down a huge hill. Let the pins be at the bottom of this $#!^ Storm, not you.

Bill for director of marketing for Storm! Love it :)

[Etrain]

LOL /\

mabye ''the perfect storm'' like the movie

[martin]

wow that brain ball is interesting.. might want to get it.. lol.. btw, no new Brunswick balls?

[eugene02]

wow that brain ball is interesting.. might want to get it.. lol.. btw, no new Brunswick balls?

ewww.. so far no Brunswick one..

[GeorgiaStroker]

Radical has 2 new balls coming out. They are waiting for final approvals before releasing names.

[martin]

haha.. imagine a brain rolling down the lane.. :p why are Brunswick dormant i wonder..

[martinezsam2495]

Plainly disgusting to me..

wow, how do you get the ball's earlier?

[eugene02]

wow, how do you get the ball's earlier?

sorry? can't get what u mean.. can look up on the different balls on their individual website.

[GeorgiaStroker]

The 2 new balls from Radical are:

The Torrid, which uses the core from the Track heat that Phil designed when he worked for them.

- Color: Black/Red
- Coverstock: Pearl with Mica
- Core: Torrid
- Surface: 1500 Abralon then Polished
- RG: 2.46
- Diff: .048
- Description: Turn up the heat on your competition!!! The Torrid uses one of the most prolific cores ever developed. It's performance on the PBA Tour was unprecedented and it was one of the most sought after balls on the market. We have taken that core technology and combined it with new coverstock technology to accommodate today's lane conditions and the Torrid performs as well as it's legendary predecessor. As an added bonus it is priced in the mid performance range resulting in a great price and legendary performance. Turn up the heat on the competition and keep it turned up with the torrid.

and the Slant HD:
- Color: Blue
- Coverstock: Soaker Pearl
- Core: Slant HD
- Surface: 1500 Abralon then Polished
- RG: 2.47
- Diff: .045
- Recommended Lane Condition: Medium-Medium Heavy Oil
- Description: The SLANT HD is a more dynamic version of the original Slant. We have managed to increase the differential while still maintaining the original RG and mid differential. This increased differential opens up a new dimension of performance for the Slant Line. By increasing the differential from .045 to .054 the performance spectrum has gotten wider, meaning the lower RG drillings (pin closer to the axis) roll up sooner and arc and the higher RG drillings (pin away from the axis ) store energy longer and flip, basically we have created a wider range of drilling patterns. This plus the soaker cover stock has allowed SLANT HD to rev harder and be more angular down the lane. Ideal on Medium to Medium Heavy lane conditions

[eugene02]

[eugene02]

[eugene02]

DV8 has 3 new ball..

1: Zombie Spare (Polyester)
2: Hell Raiser Terror
3: Marauder

[eugene02]

New ball for brunswick = NeXXXus (P+S)

[billf]

DV8 Zombie Polyester, going to be my new spare ball! People asked for a spare ball and they listened with a cool looking ball, just what is expected from DV8!

[The German Shepherd]

The new Hell Raiser Terror looks like a great shorter oil ball or skid/flip ball...

Jay

[GeorgiaStroker]

The Zombie. There's one ball you won't have to worry about dying out.:p

[eugene02]

seems disgusting to me.. hahaha

[The German Shepherd]

I checked out the new/upcoming NeXXXus f{P+S}. That ball looks totally sick....

Jay

[billf]

Had to watch the demo video a couple of times just to see Carmen Salvino go through his antics. LOL!

Jay

[billf]

That man is hilarious

[Etrain]

http://www.bowling.com/products/dv8-zombie-spare-viz-a-ball.htm
this ball is a lil over the top, i honestly think my 7yo daughter would be scared of it.
i wonder if the pros sponcered by dv8 on tv will be rolling this

[billf]

I'm going to get one BUT they could have just done the whole ball with the scheme on the back. It would have still looked cool without scaring the little ones.

[billf]

Anybody know when the new Brunswick Nexxxus f(p+s) will be available? Being a dirty old man I need any ball that has xxx in it lol. I didn't see a release date on the Brunswick site.

[GeorgiaStroker]

It's not up on bowlingball.com yet but bowling.com has it for pre-order with a release date of August 8.

[JaMau24]

SONOVA!! Why did you all have to go and tell me about a new NeXXXus pearl!?!? Don't you know I want a new ball NOW and don't want to wait till August 8th!? lol. I guess I might just get 2. That Marauder looks sweet too..

AHHH!! So many balls, not enough money!!

I'm so eager to get a new one, I don't even know if I can wait for the new Defiant Edge coming out July 10th!

My plan of action: Somehow wait till July 10th and get the new Defiant Edge, then maybe even get the new NeXXXus f(P+S).. It's a MUST have. Then, because I'm so kind, I'll even let Bill buy me a brand new Marauder! Thanks Bill!! :D

[JaMau24]

Actually, you know what!? I've got a new idea. Instead of getting the Defiant Edge (which is going to be a pretty aggressive ball itself), I think I just might get something weaker NOW (so I don't have to wait) and when the new NeXXXus comes out, I'll get that and have something very aggressive too.

So what do you think? Any suggestions. I want a pearl. Storm Fringe? Storm Frantic? DV8 Too Reckless?

[JaMau24]

Think I'm going to go with a Too Reckless, not only because I like it more, but because it is cheaper too.

[billf]

The Too Reckless would be an excellent choice and looks a bit freaky but not in a bad way. When you get it you will have to see it under the black lights.

[JaMau24]

Ok Cool. I'll place my order today!

*UPDATE*
Ball ordered.

[JaMau24]

A new Hell Raiser is coming out too! Did you know this Bill? Hell Raiser Terror http://www.bowlingball.com/products/bowling-balls/DV8/10434/Hell-Raiser-Terror.html

[eugene02]

A new Hell Raiser is coming out too! Did you know this Bill? Hell Raiser Terror http://www.bowlingball.com/products/bowling-balls/DV8/10434/Hell-Raiser-Terror.html

yea jason, bill does know it.. that's his next ball already.. hahahaha

[JaMau24]

yea jason, bill does know it.. that's his next ball already.. hahahaha

Actually, just spoke to a guy who said he wasn't all that impressed with the Terror. He is, however, very impressed with the Marauder.

[billf]

The Terror is a little weaker than the Revenge. I'm hoping to be able to use it during league as our house dries up too fast for the HRR, even the pin up polished one I have :(

[martin]

i really do want a new heavy oil ball but no money to get it.. i don't have any heavy oil ball and the newest Brunswick ball is the Nexxus (i'm really into Brunswick)

[eugene02]

i really do want a new heavy oil ball but no money to get it.. i don't have any heavy oil ball and the newest Brunswick ball is the Nexxus (i'm really into Brunswick)

the newest ball is the NexXxus P+S looks like a monster!!!

[abishai]

I'm looking at the Marauder or the Too Reckless for my next ball. I really like the look of DV8's equipment except the spare ball. Love the back with the logo but not so into the horror genre where I want a zombie head on my ball unless i'm using it for target practice.

[eugene02]

same here.. but i'm looking at the Misfit for my next ball.. need a dry - med oil lane ball..

[martin]

the newest ball is the NexXxus P+S looks like a monster!!!

is it out yet?

[eugene02]

is it out yet?

nope.. soon.. july i think..

[JaMau24]

[eugene02]

August 8th in USA I believe. Does it come out sooner where you are Eugene?

normally it does come out earlier in my country Singapore.

[martin]

hmm i guess it'll be august-september here.. usually it's later than in the US.. 2-3 months for me to save up.. lol..

[eugene02]

mine is normally 1 - 2 months before US.. lol..

[martin]

or maybe if i order at the pro shop, i can get it same time as you eugene.. if i'm not wrong, the proshop at my center gets their balls from s'pore

[abishai]

Anyone have any video links for the new Nexxxus?

[eugene02]

[billf]

[eugene02]

well bill it seems that new balls are rolling into your hands soon! hahaha
