Question
I bought this ball after having a hip replacement.  I bought it because of its length. ( needed length to offset decreased speed until I regain leg strength}  It certainly has a strong backend reaction.  It does go long.  Does Storm have a similar product?  I do have a XXX Extreme. It does not appear to have the same length, nor does it have as much backend.  What do you think about the Ebonite RSX 300?  Any similar Storm products?  I throw medium to slow and average around 185.  I stand on the middle dot and any where left and will throw anywhere 18 to 8 depending on what I feel I need to do.  Thanks.

Answer
In the storm line I would suggest the T-Road Pearl.  
If you really have a ball speed problem and need a ball that gets down the lane well, consider the Roto Grip Neptune.

Good luck,
Chip

Th3e RSX might still be a bit stronger than you need with the loss of ball speed.
