    Great ball over all . Hits well enough and it works very well in different houses . On heavy oil this ball is a spare ball ( very straight ) but on medium to light oil the ball hooks nicely and takes the pins down . I like the ball around the second arrow. Outside the first it won't come back, and over the third to second it will flop right in the gutter. Overall I give the ball a 8/10. If your a great 10 pin shooter then this is your ball, but if you like me and hate the DANG 10 pin the this ball is about a 160-165 average ball!

    One of my all-time favorite balls. This would be a great one to bring back. Backend reaction was sharp, the shell held up really well, and it sent pins flying. Nice use of the lightbulb-shaped weight block, which was similar to the Beast line. I also used the pearl Tremor, which I also liked, but not quite as much as the solid ball. Drilling was over the label with a pin at around 11:00 (lefthanded). I could play the oil line pretty effectively. The ball wouldn't burn up in the heads unless they were scorched. Moving into the heavier oil in the middle wasn't usually a good idea, but the ball wasn't meant for that.

    All time underrated ball. Drilled pin above and between fingers, CG in palm. Great layout for me for this ball. Tore 'em up. Carry was awsome all night. Handled speed, hand positions well. Lane adjustments,I felt, were easier for me to make because it read them well. It is a very underrated ball. There were 3 guys who threw the Tremors in my old league. All of them swear by it. The ball just took too much of a beating to be resurfaced anymore. These just did not wear out. Columbia needs to get this one and Cuda/C Pearl back. Come on! Who's with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    what can i say? i own a storm x-factor, and a Fear factor. my local pro shop had this ball on sale so i decided to buy it as a dry lane ball. boy was i surprised to find that it hooked harder than my Fear Factor and hit the pins HARDER than anything i have ever owned (about 30 different balls from the past 8 years). i have retired my fear factor and x factor because this ball stikes if i get it anywhere between the 1 and 2 pin. and the sound it makes when it hits the pins is a huge BANG! louder than if i picked my x-factor up and threw it straight into the pins at 40mph (which i used to do alot) This ball has a large hook in medium oil when its polished like i use it now, hits very very very hard and is soo easy to control (easier than any of the other balls i have owned. it also has about a 5 board margin of error and almost never leaves 10 pins. I have used it in heavy oil conditions and have simply given it an 600 Grit sanding and it retains its hooking capabilities and is still

    This ball is absolutely THE best light oil ball I have ever had. I actually rescued this one from a dumpster a couple years ago, but I have resurfaced it multiple times and it just keeps getting better. The ball is laid out with the CG on the center of grip and the pin above the fingers. The ball is sanded to 1500 and then highly polished. It clears the fronts, stores energy, and then explodes on the pins!!! This ball will absolutely throw pins all over the deck. This ball is known for its messengers!!! Columbia- If you are listening, RETRO this ball!!!!!

    This ball has to be the best bowling ball I have ever thrown. This ball is better than my Trauma Response. This ball having a ceramic core does wonders for it. I have no idea what it ACTUALLY does but it kanes on synthetic lanes. Power or not power this ball will provide it's own smackdown when the lane conditions are right. Having this ball in my bag with the Trauma Response, La Nina, and a Fire Power im ready for most lane conditions, though having mentioned those other balls they are all STORM, but... The Tremor has to be the most consistant ball in my inventory of over 15 balls.

    Overall great, great old consistant ball. Better than some others i've tried (Recovery). This ball has a mind of its own, once it hits one strike over brooklyn it just keeps going over there until it doesn't get one. Great power and great ceramic core than delivers good consistant power in each shot. The ceramic core is great get it anywhere near the pocket and you can say goodbye to all 10 pins almost every time! What else can I say about this great amazing old ball, it may be old but it can still whoop some ARSE!
