Thread: Not sure on the new Storm Balls...any thougts?

  1. #1

    Default Not sure on the new Storm Balls...any thougts?

    Hmmmm..interesting choice.......

    Bumping up thier "Hot" line of balls which generally fit right above their entry level reactive line.

    They only are promoting 3 balls in their premier line since removing the V.G.......I guess they are waiting for the fall leagues to start back up to release another higher end ball?

    By the way....what the heck is "Super Urethane". I may just want to pick up the new Frantic only because they figued out how to put "Freak'n" on it :-)

    Bowling balls usually release around Feb and also around (I think) August.

    Which new ones are you talking about? I use the Tropical Breeze, Frantic, and Sync. All great for their lane conditions. Though if you already have a high track, I'd avoid the Tropical Breeze. My track runs medium for all of my balls, except the TB. The TB for some reason always ends up high near the thumb hole. I've found a lot of other people have the same experience.

    The Freak'n Frantic seems basically to be a Frantic for a touch lighter oil.

    The Super Natural looks like a good light oil ball. I still like my TB but if someone needs a light oil ball, seems like a good choice.

    Lights Out looks like a relatively aggressive medium-light oil ball. Not as aggressive as the Freak'n Frantic but not weak by any means.

    The Freak'n Frantic = Fringe. It has the same cover and core, they just changed the colors and the smell and name. Maybe the Fringe wasnt selling enough so they rebranded it.

    Good catch. It's funny, the ball paths they posted makes it look like the Freak'n Frantic is just a hair stronger, but the only differences are the smell and color. RGs are all the same. Differential are all the same.

    So basically, it is if you like Pina Colada (Fringe), Freak'n Apple (F.Frantic) or Orange/Lime (Frantic). Although Frantic is a Hybrid cover stock and Fringe and F.F. are pearl.......

    don't forget the butter scotch, personally I do not like the fragrant ball smells period. It is interesting that they have the
    tech's for incorporating it but i don't see the sense in it.
