Get ready for the pearlized version of the Dimension from Storm.

Pin to PAP(5 1/8" over 1/8" up) - 4 1/2"
Mass Bias Position - n/a
CG Placement - 2 1/2" right of center, 1/2" down
Balance Hole - 7/8" x 2" from center of grip through cg on VAL

Surface Preparation - Out of Box

What I Was Looking For In This Ball Layout:
This layout is fairly similar to my Dimension which I use as a bench mark ball. I did decide to put the pin in a stronger position then my regular Dimension. I kicked it 3/4" further right, a little closer to my PAP hopefully making this pearlized version stronger then my polished Dimension.

What I Ended Up With in the Ball and Layout:
I love when plans come together and this one did perfectly. The Second Dimension rolled almost identical to my Dimension but stronger. This was exactly what I was looking for this ball to do. Keep in mind this is a pearlized shiny Dimension so the ball is going to get through the heads pretty clean. My best opinion is to use a stronger layout on this ball so it does not get to long down the lane.

Anyway back to may ball reaction. Through the heads the ball was smooth with a pretty strong roll. The placement of the extra hole and the logos made the ball look really cool off my hand. As the ball made the transition and read the friction it revved up nicely. I would say this was where I saw the biggest
difference in the 2 Dimensions. My Dimension is drilled weaker and shined up with Moon Shine so it still skids when it gets to the friction area. The Second Dimension does not it reads the friction and moves hard. On the back the ball was a typical Storm ball, it just kept driving through the pin deck and carried like a dream.

Overall another winner from Storm, especially if you have a Dimension that you like you can really play off of this ball with a different layout.

Storm has developed a pearlized version of the Dimensionâ„¢ with enhanced traction in the carry-down and increased entry angle to the pocket. Welcome to the Second Dimension.

CG Placement - kicked right
Balance Hole - n/a

Surface Preparation - Left at Box Finish

What I Was Looking For In This Layout: I was looking to get this ball through the heads clean and store enough energy for a strong reaction at the breakpoint.

What I Ended Up With In This Ball Layout : This layout gave me exactly what I was looking for. This ball is one of the most aggressive pieces that I have in my bag at the breakpoint. Clean through the heads and sharp at the breakpoint.

With this layout, I can play multiple parts of the lane depending on the type of lane condition I'm playing on. On the medium to oily conditions, this ball and layout combination allows me to go further right on the approach and play a tighter line up the lane. With the amount of energy stored and reaction at the breakpoint, I do not have to worry about this ball getting back to the pocket.

On medium lane conditions or when the lanes start to breakdown, I really like the look this ball gives me. It allows me to get to a deeper section of the lane without having to sacrifice ball reaction at the breakpoint. As long as I get the Second Dimension to friction down lane, I do not have to worry about the ball reacting at the breakpoint.


Overall, I would recommend this ball for anyone who has thrown the Storm Dimension and is looking for its compliment. Clean through the heads and very strong, angular motion at the breakpoint. This is also a good piece for me to go to when my Virtual Gravity is too much for the lane.
