Our intent was to design a pure urethane coverstock with less surface friction for those challenging patterns along with a core combination that would complement. We developed the U2S coverstock, a second generation of U2000. It enables one to get length with out the over-reaction that resin sometimes creates.

Even though it's made of a pure urethane material it's dynamic enough to handle today's lane conditioners. The Turbine core creates ample flare to ensure fresh coverstock is always touching the lane. This translates into additional friction to create ample entry angle, without generating an over/under reaction down lane. The Natural integrates classic reaction with today's modern technology to deliver unbeatable performance.

Finally they we have the answer for the lanes that are so
dry with carry down.Storm NATURAL is the ball for bowlers that need more control in the front part of the lanes.Also for bowlers with low ball speed that bowl in bowling centers that do not oil during the day.

This ball could quite possibly be my favorite release out right now. You run into so many conditions now a days where the new modern balls are just too much. Either the balls jump off of the friction to fast or there is not enough oil to get the ball to the correct spot down lane. The Natural fixes both of these issues.

Being a higher rev player I am able to use this ball quite frequently. Whether it is playing up 10 on a fresh league pattern or moving in to the center of lane when heads start to go away. It has been a good while since I have been able to go up the lane on a house shot and the Natural allows me to do this with a awesome amount of energy through the pins.

If you are a higher rev player that is looking for something to go straighter with you HAVE to get the Natural. For the tweeners and strokers this is still a great ball to have in your aresenal for "go-to" situations.

What a great concept by Storm to go back to a urethane cover!

Ok This morning I shot 769 with my rogue cell. I am a 200 Average bowler.
Anyway now to the natural, i decided to throw the natural after I bowled my high series just to see what it would do. First off this ball is best used when there is lots of carry down and/or the lanes are dr. my set wasn't that dry, but I decided to try it. I found my best strike line was throwing it over about the 9 board and put it out to the 1 board and it came back nice and smooth and, OH THE POWER, Rediculous. when I threw it right it had as much power as my cells. Although i practiced 10 differnet lines with it and expierimented, I shot 215 and 206, which again over average. I love it. All my other balls ar strong and this one is long and smooth, yet still maintaing enough hook to create great enrty angle. Plus it doesn't absorb oil like the reactive resins do.

Huge thanks to Roger Dtedge at the Bowl-A-Drome in Ithica, NY

Thanks for your time, I hope this review helped.

Very impressive ball, there are many of us old time stroker and high rev players that love this ball reaction. It's like the older Black Hammer with high tech core. It carries well and works well on drier conditions. For the bowler that bowls second shift or bowls in the afternoon or has to practice before the lanes are oiled at the bowling centers this is the ball. Great look going down the lane when everyone else is standing so far left they get nose bleeds and couldn't find the pocket for a million bucks. This is the ball.

I got the Storm Natural about a month ago now. I drilled it with layout #1. I hated this ball in the beginning because I never played with Urethane and the ball just would not hook if the lanes were anywhere from medium heavy-heavy oil. I personally do not understand how Ryan Cimineli or Rhino Page uses this so well on tour. But the more i used it on medium to light oil, this ball does its job well. With the turbine core, this thing is just mean on the lanes when it starts break down. You may see a good amount of flat tens if you do not have a clean release.... also a great spare ball!!

I am very impressed with bowlingball.com as they were quick to get my order delivered to me in a timely fashion at a very competitive price.

The Storm Natural is great when the lanes get "burned out". The ball rolls heavy but doesn't hook too hard at the back end.

Storm has created a great urethane ball from the ones in the past.

This is a great value and good ball. It feels fun to use because it's so "old school" looking as it rolls down the lanes. The urethane is surprisingly forgiving and it will HOOK! The only annoying thing to me is how badly the cover stock will take up oil. This ball looks ugly after a few throws and you gotta put a lot of effort into keeping it clean in order for it to roll consistently. I have my drilled with pin under ring finger and CG/RG out at a 45 degree angle (if CG was the center of a clock the pin would be at 10:30). This is supposed to be an aggressive drilling, but the cover stock makes it more into a hard, curving, arc. If I let the ball absorb lots of oil, I can play down and out and it's usable for drier conditions. I'm thinking about polishing this ball to use it for straight down the 5 or 10 board to hit the pocket with a smaller arc.

I purchased this ball for dry lane conditions. I\'m a lefty, 15.5 mph, Pitch from the 10 board over the 4 or 5 and use Hammer\'s Sauce 99% of lane conditions.

When I sense I am going high and it isn\'t my speed I switch to this ball and I lose 3 - 4 boards break. Perfecto!

I loved the ball so much I bought my wife one for the same reasons.

One word of advice, you might consider drilling this ball with as much end snap as possible because it is truly an even, predictable soft arc ball.

I have no use for snappy balls and prefer my delivery, not tricks to get the ball in the pocket, but that\'s just me.

Bowlingball.com is fantastic. Great and fair prices and ultimate quick response and delivery.

Delivery was quick. I have not drilled the ball yet, can't find much information on how the different drill layouts react(except the Storm layout sheets). I'm looking to drill this up as a specialty ball, not an everyday roller, any suggestions would be welcomed. Looking to use it as a straight up the boards ball.

Layout 1

Storm Advanced Drilling Diagram 1
  • Locate the mass bias by drawing a line from the pin through the CG. Find the location 6-¾" from the pin along this line, and mark it with "MB". This is the location of the mass bias or the secondary pin.
  • Place the major pin 5" from the player's PAP and place the "MB" on the player's ball track next to the thumb hole
  • Use this layout for length with a medium backend reaction.
  • This layout is great for medium to light oil. Also works well for players with higher rev rates.


Layout 2

Storm Advanced Drilling Diagram 2
  • Locate the mass bias and mark it with "MB"
  • Place the major pin 4-¼" from the player's PAP and locate the mass bias (MB) along the player's PAL
  • This layout will most often require an extra hole, so place this hole on the PAP and remove excess side weight to "0".
  • This layout works well to produce medium length and heavy midlane roll. Usually works well on medium to heavy oil, especially longer oil patterns.


Layout 3

Storm Advanced Drilling Diagram 3
  • Locate the mass bias and mark the spot with an "MB". Remember, the mass bias is a fine tuning device used by advanced players.
  • Place the major pin 3-3/8" from the PAP and locate the mass bias halfway between the player's ball track and PAL
  • Place the extra hole, if necessary, on the player's PAP, removing excess side weight to less than 1 oz.

Note: This is a "High Flare" layout that should only be used by low rev players seeking maximum ball reaction!

Layout 4

Storm Advanced Drilling Diagram 4
(For this layout we will select a ball with a pin distance of 2-5" from the CG)
  • Place the major pin 1-½" from the PAP. Remember to keep the pin along the line located between the PAP and the player's finger holes.
  • Place the mass bias in the player's ball track.
  • Check side weight to see if an extra hole is necessary. If so, place the hole on the PAP.
  • This layout will produce heavy roll with a controllable backend reaction. Players with extensive side roll or high rev players will love this layout to help control dry, short oil patterns with very dry backends
