This is by far my favorite ball i have gotten so far. I started bowling when i was 5 so i know when something good comes around. I bowled my first 800 with it I had a 279, 278, 246. A solid strong ball for me when it hits it hits hard. Very good ball for anyone to own.

I bought this ball for my girlfriend before our summer league. She was used to using an alley ball, and I wanted her to have something fit to her hand. This was a good value for the money. I would recommend this for bowlers with very slow ball speed, very dry lane conditions, or bowlers who aren't sure whether they want to get serious about bowling. If you know that you want to pursue bowling, it would be better to spend a little extra and get a higher performance ball to start. Not recommended for oily conditions unless you throw very, very slow.

I am not a new bowler but I am not good. So I got this ball. It has some hook, not the biggest but it is good for a bowler like me. I like the product Tropical Storm because it has got a hook that is controllable and not difficult to use.

I picked the Storm Tropical Storm Red/Black Pearl bowling ball up while waiting for my Passion to be drilled. Since I struggled a bit on dryer lanes I figured a light oil ball was in order. I already throw a big hook so boy was this not what I needed for dry conditions. This ball will go far but when it finally hooks up it takes off in the other direction like you wouldn't believe. I've been bowling since age 4 and am going on 23 now so I've been at this for quite some time. I honestly get this out every time I go to the lanes because if my Passion is failing to hook up the way I want it to, I know I can count on this ball to do it. It cares me a bit because I don't think its going to come back at all but them out of no where it's in the pocket. Or way past the pocket. So you have to be careful. Overall it is a pretty good ball.

I purchased this ball May 2010. I drilled it with a 1:30 Pin position and I left the CG just above the Thumb Hole. I took an extra 1 inch out of the Thumb hole to make the thumb weight legal by USBC standards. The ball is amazing on medium oil patterns with wet/dry back ends. You can smooth it out with Abralon pads to cut down on the backened snap but still maintain a smooth, consistent reaction. I just purchased the New Storm Heat and I can't wait until I have it in my hands so that I can drill it and throw it

I got this ball after not bowling for about 20 years. My 20 years of bowling in the 70's and 80's was on the old wooden lanes. In those days it was tough to keep a 175 avg. on a mens league. Lane conditions were never consistent at your house and really changed from house to house. I decided just recently to get back into bowling and didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on a ball yet. So the pro shop here recommended this with an aggressive drill. I don't crank the ball a lot and ball speed is middle of the road to slow. I run a 15 lb ball. Discounting the first 3 games as getting use to it I averaged about 190 for a few weeks on dryer conditions. Then I have been hit with freshly oiled conditions or carry down after junior league bowlers. Have had a tough time finding a line to carry the pocket with authority. Dropped down to like 170 avg. But I found the line recently at my house for fresh oil conditions and back up to 190 avg. Good ball for the money. Smells good also! I use a plastic 14 lb. ball for right side spare shots. I think I am ready to graduate to something a bit more aggressive as my house takes really good care of the lanes and when I get back into a league in the fall I will need something a bit stronger. This ball tends at time not to finish through the pins well. But that is partly due to me and carry down. No problem recommending this to someone for the money and who is at my level. I gave it an OK only due to the fact I am over growing its capability and that is good! Its a fine ball for the bucks and for medium skill bowlers.

I just starting bowling, so the Red/Black Storm was the ball I chose. My 120 average is slowly improving with this ball, but the 236 (7 bagger) I threw the other day shows me that this ball is right for me when I learn to roll it with consistency.

This was the first ball I bought when I started back bowling. I wasnt sure how far my skill level had dropped off(prev high was 279) in the yrs off so I started with a lower level ball. I quickly grew out of this one since it didnt have enough action for me. I use it now as my spare ball and it works great for me. I can use it as my first ball when the lanes really start to dry up. If you're trying to learn how to throw a hook this is a great ball to learn from. My girlfriend has the Storm Lime. She just started learning to throw a hook(avg about 120). She bowled a 238 a couple wks ago. Good spare ball and great learning ball.

I purchased this ball because Pro Shop guy recommended it.

First time, I didn't like this ball honestly. It is not because of the performance but because of my skill.



I was beginner and tried many different styles with it, I had to spend about 3 months to get used to it. When I had low scores, I wanted to go back to 2 finger throw because I could score 160 easily with that form even with house ball.



However, I am glad I didn't change my mind because I finally get to know how to throw this ball right with 3 fingers and my average went up even higher than 2 finger style now. (I just scored 203, 215 and 206 game after game last week which I thought it was impossible for me)



I like this ball because of its pin action and control. It is easy to control(so good for spare also) and it has nice mercy compare to house ball. It knocks down the pins and gives you 'unexpected strike' while you thought you 'missed'. I gave 4 only because of it won't hook on heavy oil condition but it is great on other lanes.

Well I can't say this is the best ball.. but I strongly recommend beginners like me to get one like this to try many things before than purchase high performance ball.

Layout 1 - Label Drilling

Storm Basic Drilling Layout 1
  • This layout is considered to be a standard "Label" drill and will produce good length with mild backend reaction.
  • Place the center of gravity so as to balance 1/2" oz. positive and finger.
  • Rotate ball so that the pin (if applicable) is located at 1:30 in relationship to the center of gravity.
  • This layout will require no balance hole.

Layout 2 - Leverage Drilling

Storm Basic Drilling Layout 2
  • This drill pattern is known as a "leverage" drilling. This drilling provides medium length and maximum backend reaction.
  • In this layout we place both the pin and center of gravity 3-3/8" from the positive axis point.
  • Most often this drill pattern will require a balance hole to remove excess side weight.
  • Place the balance hole on the PAP and remove excess side weight down to 1/2 ounce positive.

Layout 3 - Axis Weight Drilling

Note: Be sure to select a ball with less than three ounces of top weight!

Storm Basic Drilling Layout 3
  • This drilling is referred to as "axis" weight. It provides early roll with a smooth, controllable backend.
  • Place the center of gravity on the player's positive axis point.
  • Rotate the ball so that the pin is located on the line between the PAP and finger holes.
  • Place the balance hole on the PAP and remove excess side weight to less than one ounce, This will ensure the balance of the ball is withing USBC specifications.
