    Default Ordering Overseas Balls

    Anyone have a good source overseas for ordering bowling balls? I know bowlingball.com used to have a selection of Storm international balls, but I don't see any on there anymore. Wanting to pick up the Dark Phaze which is a hybrid version of the pearl ball stateside.

    About the main reason for overseas balls is mostly a combination of marketing, and taking into consideration the different lane conditions and regional bowling styles to make equipment people will want to buy in the other regions.

    Like balls with the same core & coverstock we have here, just with different colors and a different name. (You got to watch names, one that is perfectly innocent here can mean something totally different in another country)

    Same core slightly different cover, some might use older cores with a newer cover etc.

    Right handed Stroker, high track ,about 13 degree axis tilt. PAP is located 5 9/16” over 1 3/4” up.Speed ave. about 14 mph at the pins. Medium rev’s.High Game 300, High series 798
