Storm Rapid Fire Reviewed by: Kenny Lawson @ Aloma Bowl Pro Shop (4 stars)


 
Storm's Rapid fire uses R2S solid cover(one of their best) and combine it with the Twin V core to create a med/high rg (2.57)/ high diff.(.050) ball that will perform well on most medium volume conditions. I like this cover because it allows the ball to clear the fronts with ease so that it has plenty of energy down lane. The Rapid Fire has the Storm's trade mark angular move at the break point so be careful with your layouts.

This ball is great. Totally would recommend it to anyone.
Even though it wasn't drilled to my hand, (it was my friends ball and he has a little shorter span than I do..It is like 1/4'' off) I asked him if I could throw it in league because I had left all of my stuff at home. And man let me tell you...This ball flat out hooks. It is drilled with the pin about 3 1/2'' from the ring finger and the Cg is in the palm...So this ball is drilled for a long snappy arc....and that's what I was thrown. Hit like a train.

Its a pretty nice ball. On your typical house shot, or medium oil lanes, its gets the job done. I throw the ball hard with a lot of hand in it. This ball kept up with me all three games. The ball tends to struggle abit in the heavier oil, but for light to medium oil, its great. The rapid fire was a good choice for my bowling bag.

very happy with the purchase of the "Storm" bowling ball. Did not know they came scented, but kind of fun at the bowing alley. The person who drilled the holes said it was one of the top balls to get.

This ball is drilled at 5 3/4” x 5”. PAP is 5 1/4" x 1/4" up. This ball layout is designed to help this ball get down lane and have a very smooth, controllable motion. With this layout, I am able to play the parts of the lanes I can’t with other balls. I am able to close the lane down and play more direct without sacrificing hitting power. It is very forgivable on a house pattern. The less angular ball motion is perfect for tough sport patterns and allows you to play more direct with the hold you desire. I have found this ball is great for house patterns, and medium to long sport shots. Has great hitting power and always continues through the pins.

My Street Rod Pearl is laid out 4x3 with the pin under my bridge. It gives me a more controlled hook when the lanes start to dry out. I use this ball when my Hy-road is hooking too much and this ball gets me back to where I need to be on the lane for maximum score.

This ball is great for when the lanes get a little dryer. It is a very forgiving ball and oh my god it hits hard. At any time if you are having trouble carrying pull this ball out of your bag. This is a great great ball for anyone. Why wouldn't you drill it?

Easy to control, somewhat forgivable, quite predictable, and hits like nothing I have ever seen before. I have thrown many different balls over the years but have been fairly inactive the last 3 or 4 years. My last high performance ball was the Ebonite V2 strong but I had some difficulty controlling it so I shelved it. My average is about 170ish with a Columbia Gold Dot Urethane (old faithful). I played the Rapid Fire for the first time this past Sunday in a family fun league. I shot a 223 the first game and a 289 clean the second.(I choked pulled it Brooklyn and left a 5 pin, oh well...). Enough said! This ball is the real deal and may turn out to be the best ball I have ever owned.
