i love it, once you get used to the conditions you can play all day with this ball, i have thrown many high games with this ball and picked many leaves with ease, when i inherited it i thought since it was older, i would have no reaction and would hate the ball but i was extremely wrong. if you can find one you should get one, especially lefties because it will move like you want it to. i have been bowling for 15 years and other than my thunder road, this has been my best ball. 7 pins will frequent you if you dont get it out enough and come in high, but it hits like a tank when you come in light. you will receive massive pin action if you are light or flush. i have not left many 8 or 9 pins with the ball because it just destroys the pocket.

I've had this ball for a couple of years now. It has contributed to me attaining a 205 average that has turned heads. Seeing as I am only 15. It is a very predictable ball, once you throw the first shot, you know how the day is going to be. The only thing I didnt like about it was that it's not really fun to bowl with, it's kinda boring compared to the other balls I have. Get this ball if you are 185-195 average. It'll help you get that 200+ average you have been wanting.

One of the best skid flip balls ever produced. An oldie but goodie. Went long without effort and would come back from anywhere except the gutter. Could play around the corner, down and in or tight - whatever the lane gave and still carry. Wiped out the corner pins. Wish I still had one. Enjoyed great success with this ball; but alas, it was the last Storm Ball I could say that about - but then again, I haven't owned many other Storm Balls - just the Firestorm and the X-Factor; and, If I had to make a choice, it would be the Firestorm.<s

I got this ball for free from an old friend of mine, so I couldn't refuse it. I placed the pin on my PAP (4 1/4" out...1" up) and this ball is butter baby! I just went to Coca Cola State finals and averaged 211 with this ball. Went to City Tourney a few months back and pulled 205 when others struggled for a 550 series. The ball gets through the fried heads clean, and makes its move for the pocket. And when it gets there...WOW! Who would've thought that this ball had soo much hit? It has definately made a home in my bag. But you have to watch out for carrydown...this ball will get through the heads clean, but if it hits too much carrydown, it will just keep on gliding right past the breakpoint and clip the 4-7 pocket!

This is a great ball for its time and is still one for today. I got this ball for free and it was drilled label leverage. A great ball for lighter oil lane conditions. I gave this to my brother and he loves it although he uses on all lane conditions. I reccomend to get this ball drilled with a more agressive drilling. Other than that this is great ball. The only thing that is not good about this ball is that it rolls up early for a pearl ball. But there is nothing you can do about that. If you can find this ball grab it fast.
