    The ball is very simular to the origina; eraser pbt. It isn't the skid/snap that storm usually makes but thats o.k. something different works good once in a while. The ball is very weak on oil, the layout I chose isn't the strongest. Overall, the ball sits somewheres between the tropical storm and the fired up. I would drill myself one a lot stronger. Actually, I think I'm gonna redrill the one I have right now to make it stronger because the ball has a lot of potential. Remeber to always bowl up a storm!

    After testing the ball for 3-4 months I can finally give an accurate review. When I first got I had the ball drilled for Maximum backend The pin wsa on top of the ring finger and the CG a little to the right. I am very impressed with this ball after being disappointed with the Ace i needed something for a typical league house shot. This ball has amazing backend and is very versatile so i can played on most arrows. However I have found out now that the pin action is something that is a little questionable i tend to leave a lot of ten pins and at times several pocket 7-10. I would still recommend this ball to anyone and I must say the scent is prolly the best of the storm line right now.<scr

    i bought this all from buddies pro shop for light oil conditions. oob i threw a 730 series which is my all time high. very few 10 pin leaves and nice ad controlable. i was ale to get excellent rotation on this ball and it seems like it carries everything. this is my second storm ball and for me they are the premier manufacturer followed by hammer. i will update again ater 50 games as this is my first particle ball and i want to see how it holds up. asically another great all from storm this company is definitely doing something right doggie .

    This ball is a good complement to my Screamin' Banshee. I think the Ragin' Banshee will go down as one of the best-ever balls made by Storm Products, Inc. Set up this ball with a 5 1/8" X 4 5/8" drilling: pin under bridge, CG 1" from grip center in the positive thumb quadrant, MB between strong and VAL. I also had the surface matted to about 1000-grit to eliminate the over/under reaction. My thanks to Mike Corum's Empire Pro Shop at Southwyck Lanes for this rock. Even with the sheened surface and the strong mass bias setting, the Ragin' Banshee gets through the heads clean on the house shot with strong arc and continuous backend reaction (a very readable ball from start to finish). I like how it clears the rack with very little deflection. Versus the Atomic Charge, the Ragin' Banshee has more of the backend continuation that I'm looking for when I am playing up the boards. Fewer 10-pin leaves are a plus! I have yet to try this ball on the Sport shot, but another review may be

    First I just want to say that I LOVE the REACTOR coverstock and these two balls just made me love it even more. I was a little scared when I saw the Ragin and it was so shiny, because I thought here is another Banshee (the first one) which never budged in oil and went side ways when it hit dry. Much to my surprise the Ragin' is awesome as is the Diablo. My PAP is 4 3/4 up 3/16. I layed both balls out the same. Pin 4 inches from my PAP and the CG 4 1/4. This is a similar layout two my Fired Up and Screamin'. Those two balls are my primary balls in my arsenal. I bowled on the fresh house shot. Our center oils 35 feet buff to 42 feet. Our lanes would be considered Medium to Heavier oil. Many of our better house bowlers all throw aggressive equipment between 5 and 10. When throwing the Diablo, I figured it would hook, and that it did, but not at my toe thank god. I had Bill stand out on the caps and mark the balls transition from skid to roll and roll to hook. Bill became the huma
