Everyone Seems to Use a Different Ball

[GoodGorilla]

I don't think they made it misleading on purpose. It may not be worded the best, but I don't see how tricking newbs into buy the wrong ball is good for them. If you get the wrong ball, then you resent the company. So when you srtart looking for new stuff, you start looking a differnt comanies. That's not good for them in any way. They want to keep you happy, so you keep coming back. This is an industry that thrives on repeat customers. Maybe someone at the advertising dept needs to take a permanent vacation. Your ball driller should have been able to set you straight as well. If he knew that you were buying this ball for spares (which you should have made them aware) then they should have told you it is not a spare ball. If you driller knew, and didn't set you straight, time to find a new driller. If I were you, I would call Storm, tell them your stroy. Worst they can do is nothing, which is what happens if you just let it go. But if you call, tell tem how much you are getting ino bowling, and you plan on buying new balls, bags, gloves, ect, for you and you family for the next 30 years, and now your thinking of switching to DV8, then maybe they will take care of you.

I don't plan on changing companies over this. But I did believe for the longest time that it was a spare ball, until I made the judgment on the ball over time by using it in many different ways. After that, I looked to find a new spare ball which I have a Path, and when I was looking for that spare ball I discovered the facts about the Polar Ice in writing, which was better explained than the description on the web page. Anyhow the ball fits well into my arsenal, so I'm not disappointed. It is a great dry lane ball for sure, it's probably better that I have the ball the way I got it, because I probably wouldn't have bought it otherwise.

That's cool, as long as you have use for the Polar Ice. I have to pick up a urathane ball soon.

I've used several different companies myself. Almost all make decent balls. One company in particular ticked me off with horrendous customer service so I left them and bought a new arsenal. Now I have a bunch of balls that are smelly paper weights. Going to DV8 was the best decision I've made. Their balls work for me and the customer service has been exceptional.
I would prefer using anything made in the USA but if the company can't meet my needs, wants and desires while another can, I'm left with no choice.

Now that I think of it, this is sad. Every ball I've ever had my dad bought. I currently have a Reckless that I use and a Tropical Heat to get plugged and drilled.

So i assume if you show up one day with a lucid your dad will disown you? LOL

[kmf]

Not quite. He bought or some how got my the Tropical Heat. He even said he would pay for the plug and drill. I've just been too lazy to get to the pro shop. He won't let me use the old balls he has here though and absolutely wouldn't pay for one of that brand.

"or some how" lol

bill! get off your butt and take your daughter to get the air freshener drilled!

[billf]

She has a vehicle at her disposal and knows how to get there.

BTW, the somehow was Trent was mad and gave the Tropical Heat to me to give to her. He was dumbfounded that she didn't have a dry ball.

[Brother_jd]

Bill. You want to sell any of those air freshners?
