The latest release in the 900 series is the Harsh Reality. A stronger more aggressive version of the very successful Reality. The Harsh reality has the same core but now wrapped in AI tech. When i first drilled it i was really impressed with how it response down lane. I drilled mine 50x5x45 this ball is a benchmark in my bag when on higher volume of oil. I feel like it's cleaner than the Enertity PI and a great shape to have in your bag.

The latest addition to the 900 Global product line is the Harsh Reality Pearl. This features the same great reality core surrounded with AI technology and wrapped in the 902 batch pearl cover stock. When this ball was announced at bowl expo I was really excited for this release. The Harsh Reality Solid has become a stable in my bag. With the addition of the Harsh Reality Pearl is a great compliment. I drilled this ball using the layout 60x4.5x35 this ball is super clean and very forward for me. It allows me to get left with it when becomes too strong and I can still get through the pins correctly. I would recommend this ball if you’re looking for that big pearl to add to your bag.

f the first out my bag The third installment in the Reality line is the Reality Check. This ball has the new beta hybrid cover on it and compared my Altered Reality this ball really wants to sand up in the mid lane with a strong motion through the pins. I used 5.5 x 40 x 50 this ball is one of my bag in league or tournament play.

The new Sublime focus is the latest addition to the 900 Global product line. Following the success of the original Sublime the new Sublime Focus features the 804 blend solid cover and using AI technology. I used the layout 45x4.5x50 this ball needs some oil. This ball out of the box is 2,000 grit really wants to rev up and see the mid lane and is very smooth and the new benchmark for 900 global.

The newest ball in the 900 Global line is the Wolverine Dark Moss. Like the blue wolverine this ball is really clean and very strong off the spot. This fills a hole in my bag needing a big pearl. I drilled mine 4x40x30 i still have mine with the box finish of the 4k fast gives me what i'm looking for out of this ball

The new 900 Global Zen25 the rebirth of the original Zen in the new RB 83 cover stock along with AI Core technology. This ball is that big pearl for higher volumes of oil. When this ball was announced I was really excited to put this in my bag. It hasn’t disappointed me with its performance. Using the layout of 60x5x30 the Zen25 has quickly become a go to ball on league nights. Reads the midlane the with ease and pops off the spot. This is a ball I would recommend for adding to your bag for A wide variety of skills levels.

The Zen Soul is the third addition to the very successful Zen line. This is a hybrid solid that can a benchmark ball in your bag. I drilled mine 50x3.5x30 strong in the mid lane and good shape off the spot. This is a great addition at the mid price range

The new Roto Grip Attention Star S2 the latest addition to the SPI family. The S2 features the hybrid solid cover stock and uses the AI technology. My first impression of this ball after I drilled it was strong. Everything you love to see out of the original and more. I drilled mine 65x5x45 pretty clean for me as I lift the ball but with My higher rev rate I’m able to really get this ball through the pins. This is one of the first balls out of my bag. Stop into your local Storm VIP pro today and pick one up

I had a chance to drill the new Roto Grip Halo and this core and cove combination is really impressive! I used one of my favorite layouts 55 x 5.5 x 35 this layout is clean in the fronts and still allows me to see a strong change of directions down lane. This is a benchmark ball in my bag just when i think i need to put it down i move a few boards left and it still makes it back. If you need a ball for heavy oil this is an excellent choice to add to your bag.

The Halo Pearl, when I first heard of the release of this ball I was really excited. The Halo has been one of my favorites since I drilled it. The Halo Pearl is a great compliment to it. With the cover used on the Idol Pearl was a great choice! I drilled mine Halo Pearl 50 x 5 x 40 very clean when you need more kick in the back this ball provides it! Really nice fit between the Halo and Hyper cell fused!

After drilling both the Halo and the Halo Pearl I was pretty excited to drill up the Halo Vision. This ball gives you more angle on the back end than the Halo and is a perfect fit above the pearl when it's too long. I used 5.5 x 4 x 40 a smoother layout but with my loft matches my game really well. This ball is available now at all your local pro shops!

I was really excited when the new Hustles where announced! The Hustle Ink has been one of my go to balls on dryer lanes. I drilled up the 3TP and this ball hasn't disappointed me. I drilled mine with a 3 x 3 layout. Picks up faster in the mid lane and a smooth motion down lane. A great compliment to my Ink and for anyone looking to add a ball to your lineup this is a great choice!

The Hustle AU is a great addition to the Hustle line. Gives you more length than the other Hustles and with the layout I used 5 x 3.5 x 30 the AU keeps me out of trouble when the lanes breakdown and other balls are too strong in my lineup. If you're looking for a low end ball to add to your bag this is a great choice! Available at your local pro shop.

The latest addition the Hustle BRY is wrapped in the VTC hybrid. The BRY is cleaner down lane compared to X-ray. I used the layout of 45 x 4 x45. The main center I bowl in is a high friction surface so this is a great selection out of my bag. The BRY is a great choice for all skill levels.

The Roto Grip Hustle HSB is that ball surprise you a pearl version of a HYB. I used a 4 x 3 layout on mine this gives me a very clean look in the mid lane and stronger down lane motion. A great addition to the Hustle line. Stronger than the other new Hustles and a nice bridge between the Ink and the AU.

The newest Hustle to the hustle family is the USA this is the hybrid solid version. When i drilled mined it picked up faster than my camo with the same layout 60 x 5 x 40. This ball looks great on a med to medium dry house pattern allows me to move right after the lanes breakdown from balls like my gem or x-3

The Hustle X-Ray is the latest Hustle to the HP1line. It uses the VTC solid reactive cover at 4000 grit. I used one of my favorite layouts 45x4x35 Out of the box this ball a little to clean with my loft so I hit it with a 2k pad to get it to give me better shape. The X-ray is a nice step down from my IQ solid and Idol. A great ball for someone of any skill level.

The thirrd installment to the Hyped series is the Hyped solid. I was excited to try this ball after having great success with the pearl. The Hyped solid with the vtc coverstock is a nice compliment to the pearl. Allowing this ball to reead a lot faster and give you great shape off the spot. If you're looking to add to your mid performance line up this is a great choice.

After getting a chance to drill the new Roto Grip Idol i've been really impressed by what this ball adds to my bag. A very strong ball for the price point and when i need more control than a Fused and when i need more than my Hustle Hyb it's a great fit! This a great ball to build your bag around.

The newest addition to the idol line the idol cosmos. This ball comes in 4k fast and for a pear is very clean down lane i drilled mine with the layout of 40 x 3 x 60. My goal was to get this ball to stand up faster with my loft and still continue off the spot. Compared to my helios this ball will allow you to move left when doesn't make it back.

When i drilled the Idol it was a quick favorite in my bag. So when i heard about the Idol Pearl i was really excited to see what this ball would do. I went with a 4.5 x 35 layout and this ball doesn't disappoint you! I was missing a strong pearl in my bag in the mid range stuff since i stopped using my dare devil. The Idol pearl is a great replacement for that ball. For a pearl it's reads the mid lane very well and off the spot this ball pops hard. If you're looking for a pearl to add in your line up this is a great choice!

Getting a chance to drill the third addition to the idol has been a ball that's made an impact in my bag. The idol pro fits great between both the original idol and the idol pearl. More pop down lane than the original. This ball is extremely versatile and with my layout used of 5 x 3 x 20 this ball is a different shape than most of the stuff I've drilled recently. A great choice if you're looking to add a higher end ball to your bag!

As with the rest of the Idol line the newest addition is keep in my bag. If you take the original and the pearl and put them together how could it possibly be bad? Super clean for me. It just looks like its going fast. More punch on the backend then I expected it to have. Stop by your local pro shop and pick up!

I had a chance to drill up the New Roto Grip MVP this ball doesn't disappoint. If you liked the wrecker you're really gonna like the MVP. For the price you can't beat the performance. Roto Grip really out did themselves on this one. #StormNation #ViseInserts

Roto Grip has some of the best balls for the price and the MVP Attitude may be the most ball for the price.

The newest addition to the MVP is much stronger than the previous released.

It is listed as an HP2 ball but if you didn't know it you wouldn't believe it. This is the strongest HP2 ball I have thrown.

This ball revs slow, reads midlane, and brings a smooth/strong turn with a lot of power behind it. If you're looking for a ball that's a step up from a Hustle this ball is a great choice!

The Roto Grip MVP Pearl is a great addition to the HP2 lineup. This ball is a great fit between the pearl Hustles and the Idol Pearl. Gives you the length you'd expect at that price and still performs like a high end ball.

The new Optimum Idol continues the Idol line with the core wrapped in AI Core Tech and with the micro track solid cover. Compared to the Idol I've found the Opitmum idol to be earlier on the lane and more shape down lane. I used the same layout on both balls my pap is 4 3/4 right and 3/4 down. The layout i used was 45x4x30 This is a great bench mark ball for anyone to add to there bag.

The Optimum Idol Pearl released 8-23-2024 is the newest addition to the Idol series. Filled with history going to the original Idol. Using the same trusted Icon core now with Al technology and wrapped in the micro Trac pearl cover. This is one of the most aggressive pearl Storm has to offer its customers. Using the Reacta Gloss polish this ball was really a quick to respond to friction. Using the dual angle layout of 40x5x45 this layout gives me a taller pin and travel distance down lane. I had to change the surface using a 3 thousand pad by hand to break down the polish. This allowed me to see the pattern better without losing my impact through the pins.

The new RST Hyperdrive is the latest addition to the HP4 line. The RST Hyperdrive uses the proven RST core and wrapped in AI technology and the micro trax solid cover. This ball is designed for higher volumes of oil. I drilled mine using the layout of 55x5x35 which allows this ball to see the midlane and still have good down lane motion. If you liked your Gem you will this as a great replacement for it. Pick up one at your local Storm VIP shop.

The newest addition to the HP4 line the Roto Grip RST X-1! This ball features the Micro Trax Hybrid Reactive Coverstock wrapped around the RST core which stands for ( Roto Star Tour Core )! This ball fits right between my UFO and, my Rubicon. The RST X-1 is a strong hybrid that reads the midlane very well and has a very continuous back end. I absolutely love this ball motion and, can use it on a variety of Lane conditions. This ball is one of my first choices out of my bag. If you haven't yet do yourself a favor and go get one of these! You won't regret it!

The newest addition to the Roto Grip HP4 is the RSTx-3 this ball is the hybrid version. Compared to the x-2 this ball picks up much faster on higher volume of oil. I used 60 x 4.5 x 60 one my favorite layouts right now. If you're looking for a strong hybrid this is a great choice.

Roto Grip Rubicon is one of the newest addition to the hp4 line. It will come out of the box with 3000-grit polish and it has the e-traxS20 coverstock on it.

I really like this ball when on fresh higher volumes of oil. The Rubicon reads the lanes early, for me, but not too early either. I have found out that it blends the lanes perfectly when the block begins on fresh oil. I am also able to move left later in the day, and it doesn't seem to roll out for me - it continues through the pins great. It's nice having such a big core bowling ball in my hands later in the day and still seeing it have the energy that is needed to crush the pins. My Idol is a nice step down to give a comparison to the Rubicon.

I believe this would be a perfect ball in anyones bag that is looking for an asymmetrical bowling ball to start out blocks with - either house shots or sport shots.

I drilled the Roto Grip looking for that lower end pearl to fill a need in my bag. This ball does not disappoint! This ball is a great step up from my Hustle ink and Hustle Hyb when i need something clearer down lane and to change the angle. The layout of my Winner was 55 x 5.5 x 35 this is one of my favorite layouts right now. I had to adjust the surface of the ball and hit it with 3,000 just to smooth out the motion with my loft. If you're looking for a lower end ball to add to your bag this is a great choice for this price point.

After making the move down to 15 one of the first balls i drilled was the Winner Solid. This is a benchmark ball in my bag using 4.5 x 35 on this ball it really reads the mid lane for me and is a great ball to keep you in the pocket. I can get left and change my angles and this ball just keeps going for me. If you haven't had a chance to try this ball i would talk to your local pro shop about it. Great ball for the price point. A nice step up from the Hustles.

One of the latest additions to the roto product line is the Roto Grip X-Cell. A spin on the original Cell, the X-Cell uses an updated cover stock E Track Ultra along with AI technology. I have always been a big fan of the Cell line. For this ball I used the layout of 45x4.5x50 the Cell is reads the mid lane and is much stronger down lane my Gem and allows me to open up the pattern more. This is a great choice for someone looking to add that big ball for the higher volume of oil.

The New Storm Absolute Power is the latest addition to the absolute line. This ball is wrapped in the r2s deep. I drilled mine 45x4x50 this ball is very clean for me with my loft. I touched the surface using a 2000 pad and it really helped see the shape of this ball. I would suggest this ball as a nice step down from A Gem or Magic Gem for when see start to see more friction.

What to say about this ball? Since drilling mine I've really happy with I've seen. I like smoother shapes and the All Road fits that. With nice pop in the back. For a med price ball you get a great ball and a ball that is good for bowlers of any skill level.

I used my alpha crux last night for the first time. The ball looked really good on our fresh house shot. Very clean in the fronts and very controllable off the spot. I would recommend this ball for all different skills levels. This a great ball for using on fresh patterns and higher volume shots.

Compared to my lock this more control off the spot and stores more energy down lane. The layout my alpha crux is 5x4 off my pap with a one inch hole on my pap. This helps to give the ball a smoother motion down lane and really drives through the pins.

The New Storm Astro Physix has been a great addition to my lineup since putting holes in it. This ball is a great compliment to the original Physix! When you need that little extra down lane this ball doesn't disappoint! I used the layout of 5.5 x 4 x 30 a little weaker than my Physix but I can really get deeper on the lane and play different angles.

Here we have the Storm Axiom Pearl, the newest release in the Master line. The Axiom Pearl uses the Orbital core and is wrapped with the NeX Pearl cover. I was really impressed how strong and continuous it was. I was able to get in and swing it on the fresh condition and it recovered with ease! The Axiom Pearl is the perfect compliment to the Axiom solid ! If you are looking for a strong pearl that can handle some oil, then look no further then the Axiom Pearl! Stop out to your local pro

I've had a chance to drill two Code Black's one pin up and one pin down. Storm hit a homerun on this ball it's a great addition to there top line. This ball is cleaner in the fronts than the Snap Lock and more change of direction. My pin up allows me to play a part of the lane I can't normally get too. I can move way left when there's a big puddle and this ball can still make it back to the pocket. My pin down let's me stay more square to line and is much more controllable for me.

I had a chance to get the Code Red drilled up. Right out of the box I was really impressed with what this ball does. I used the same layout as my Code Black to get a comparison of these two great balls. The Code Red for me was much earlier on the mid lane and smoother in the backend compared to the Code Black. Over all I think its a great choice if you want the quality of a Code Black just need something to pick up faster this is your ball. 5 1/4 x 5 1/2 x 30

Drilled the Storm Code X and wow! This ball has been really special in my hand i have a hard time putting it down. I really liked my Alpha Crux and to see the same type of motion was something i was missing in my bag. The cover is weaker but with a stronger core made a big difference to me allows me to move left more and know this ball will still have energy down lane. If you like the code black and the code red you'll love this bag as a great heavy oil ball.

I drilled mine 50 x 5 x 30 out the box this ball was super early for me. Changed the surface to 3,000 and allowed me to see better results! It's a nice step up from my Physix when I more ball in my hand. Great ball to add to your lineup if you're looking for a high performance ball

The second addition to the DNA line is the DNA Coil. The Coil uses the EXO pearl cover stock, polished with reacta gloss. My layout on this ball was 35x3.5x40 I wanted to get this ball to pick up fast and still have energy down lane to go through the pins correctly. What i found is I needed to hit this ball with a 3000 pad. Once I did this ball was really strong and is a stable in my bag. If you liked the DNA solid you will really like the Coil and what it brings to the table.

A ball that could read the lane faster and give me that same great motion on higher volume of oil. This is a great choice if you're looking for a high end ball to add to your bag this spring.

The Storm Fast Pitch is the latest release in the urethane series. The Fast Pitch gives more down lane motion compared to my Pitch Black is super early which is fine when I need it in my bag. It isn't nearly as early as the Pitch Black and has less down lane motion than the Purple.

I had a chance to drill the Fever Pitch is Storm's newest release in the Thunder line, and it's a new take on urethane. It's not technically urethane, the Pwr + Ctrl cover is a urethane-like material that's meant to give the feel of urethane with a more resin-like shape to bridge the gap from traditional urethane like the Pitch Black to low end reactives as far as shape is concerned. It's both easier down the lane and more responsive on the backend than urethane without being as long and flippy. I drilled mine 40 x 4.5 x 30 this ball looks great on dryer lanes and allows me to play a part of the lane I normally can with I see the burn.

After using the new Storm Fight for the past few weeks I wanted to post my thoughts about this ball. The layout I used on my Fight was 6x5 off by pap. The R4S cover really helps get this ball down the lane and the new iron core is a nice smooth motion in the back part of the lane. This ball is a great complement to my Rocket which get's into a heavier roll and sharper change of direction.

This is a great addition to the thunder line for Storm and I would recommend this ball for anyone regardless of your skill level.

The Gravity Evolve since adding this to my bag has been one of the first balls I pick up. With my loft and what this balls offers using the Spec cover it's a great match on fresh house shots. Blends the pattern for me well. 5 x 4 x 40 was my layout. This ball gives you a different shape than the other balls in this line and a good addition to your bag if you're looking to change it up.

When i drilled this ball i wasn't sure what i was going to get. Right out of the box this ball is really impressive in my hand. This ball picks up where the Hyroad could go longer and push me to the right with my ball speed and loft. I drilled mine with a very tall pin to help control the motion down lane, my layout was 5.5 x 4 this gives me the chance to open my shoulders and move left on a normal house pattern and trust this ball will recover. It's a very smooth ball and easy to read off the spot. Reminds me of a Phaze II but more back end.

To celebrate 10 years of the Hyroad Storm has come out with a newer version the Hyroad X.Getting a chance to drill this ball and see the performance has really impressed me. It's a great choice when you start to see the lanes change and what something to move left with. I drilled mine 5.5 x 35 gives me the length i need and still make the corner. If you're looking for a mid range ball this is a great ball for the price.

The Physix line has been one of my favorite lines from storm in recent years. With the release of the infinite this ball has become a personal favorite allowing med to get left and open up the lane using 60 x 4 x 30. if you're looking for a high end pearl to add to the line up for the new season this would be a great choice.

The new ball in the Storm Premier Line is the Intense. It come with a new RAD-E™ Core wrapped with the R3S pearl coverstock. This is the same Cover that is on the Snap Lock. I drilled mine 4 x 3 x 30 pin down. This is one of the strongest pearls I've drilled yet. Out the box this ball reacts really quick to friction. I actually had to put some surface on this ball to smooth it out. This a great ball if you need a ball with a stronger back end motion than the Code Red.

It's a nice fit between my Code X and mt Intense when i need that extra pop i don't see from my Code X this ball picks right up and keeps going. The Intense Fire is really clean in the fronts for me and i drilled mine stronger than my Intense to give me a different shape on the lane. This is a great choice for anyone looking to add a high end ball to there bag.

The new Storm Ion Max is the new big boy on the block. When we talk a ball that’ll get the oil this is the new choice. The Ion Max features Element max core covered in AI technology and wrapped in the NRG solid cover stock. I used the layout of 45x5x60 on my Ion it allows this ball with my loft to respond more to the friction. Compared to my Ion Pro the Max is smoother and I see more forward motion out of it. Pick up one up at any of the Storm VIP pro shop locations

The Storm Ion Pro the new benchmark in the Storm product line. The Ion Pro is wrapped in the TX-16 hybrid and the use of AI Technology. This lives up to the hype, after getting a chance to get on the lanes with the Ion pro I really impressed with what seen. Very smooth controllable ball that continues through the pocket. I put one of my favorite layouts on it 40x5x45. This ball is one of my favorites in the bag and anytime I go to a tournament it’s the first choice to come out.

Storms newest addition to the product line is IQ AI. For the first time since the iq fusion we have another hybrid IQ. Using the R2S hybrid cover stock and AI technology wrapped this is the control of the solid with more pop down lane. I drilled mine 50x4x30 with my loft this ball is very clean and really pops off the spot. Extremely versatile and easy to read.

My excitement for this ball when it was announced was really high. I've loved all the balls in the IQ line. This one is no different the Emerald is that pearl I've been missing in my bag since I moved down in weight. Great control off the spot using one of my favorite layouts 5 x 4 x 40 showed me how great this ball is. Just like the solid IQ the Emerald is my benchmark pearl. A choice for anyone looking to add to there bag!

Had a chance to get back on the lane's and try the latest addition to the IQ line. Very smooth and a great fit between the IQ Solid and Emerald. With my loft the box surface really helps me when the Emerald pushes too long for me. I would recommend this ball for league or tournament and it'll be one of the first balls out of my bag!

This ball is a great addition to the Hot Line. It's a step up from the Ride. Very clean in the front part of the lane. This ball is very similar to the Tropical Heat. If you're looking for a ball for dryer lanes that still has pop in the back, this is a great choice to add to your bag.

I drilled my Storm Match pin down 4x3 off my PAP. My first set out of the box was 813 on a medium house pattern. It gave me the control most other balls don't down lane.

I drilled both the Match Pearl and the Match. I looked forward to these two balls to help fill a hole in my bag between my Ride and my IQ Tour 30. The match Pearl is a great choice when the Tour30 becomes too strong and starts to burn up. Very clean in the heads a much more control down lane.

I drilled my Match pearl 3.5 by 4.5 was the same layout I used on my Phaze. This is a great choice to add to your bag if your looking for something for dryer lanes and you still want that pop in the backend.

I'v had the chance to drill up all four balls in the Match Up line and Storm hit a home run with this ball. It's a really great ball when you like what you see from your IQ Solid but need a little bit less in your hand. For the price point you can't beat this ball. Compared to the Match Up solid this ball reads faster and you can play more angels with this ball. A ball to add to your bag for the new season.

The matchup hybrid features the same stinger 2.0 core found in the matchup pearl and match up solid, but is now wrapped in the reactor hybrid cover. With the matchup balls having a lower differential (0.035), and a higher RG (2.57), this series is perfect for rev dominant players, or anyone looking for that third game league ball. The lower differential will keep the ball from flaring too much, and the higher RG will get the ball through the heads easily. This ball looks great when i use it on dryer lanes when other balls are to early and too strong for my game. I drilled mine 50 x 4 x 30 very clean in the fronts and get's in a heavy mid lane roll with pop off the spot.

This ball is a great addition to the Hotline, if you're looking for a ball for dryer lanes that still has that kick in the back like the high end stuff. You've found it with this ball this ball compared to the Match Pearl is stronger down lane and really drives through the pins. I have a hard time putting this one down once I see the lanes changing.

This was a ball I drilled that I wasn't to sure about out of the box. For my game I had to find the right fit for this ball. Once I found it this continues to impress me on the lanes. compared to the Match Solid it's much cleaner and stronger down lane. This ball needs to see the dry but one it does it does not disappoint you. This is a great addition to the Hotline and anyone looking for a new ball for dryer lanes should really take a look at this one.

Innovation is once again Storms heart and soul and It does it again with the new Storm Parallax. The Traction X7 Hybrid cover is finished at 1500 polished, giving the ball ball plenty of time to get down lane and retain a large amount of energy.

The NEW Aeroflo™ Core elegant and modern. Having been constructed with lighter core materials, this brings the RG higher than most Asymmetricals.

Another innovative design element is a strategic indentation on the core giving the ball characteristic seen in having a weight hole.

This ball is one of my first choices out of my bag and much different than anything you'll find in the Premier line!

After using the new Storm Phaze for the past few weeks I wanted to post my thoughts about this ball. The layout I used on my Phaze was 3.5x4.5 off by pap. The ax-16 pearl reactive cover really helps get this ball down the lane and the velocity core gives me a heavy roll and strong backend reaction. This ball is a great complement to my sky rocket which is longer and sharper change of direction.

This is a great addition to the master line for Storm and I would recommend this ball for anyone regardless of your skill level.

The newest addition to the Phaze line is the Phaze AI. Using the AI technology and for the first time the new power edge polish this ball will get down the lane and give some strong backend. I used a 40x5x45 layout on the one in the video. #bowlersmart #stormnation #coolwick #viseinserts

I had a chance to drill a Phaze II with the layout 4 x 4 1/2 from my PAP. This ball looks great very strong in the mid lane and stores energy down lane. If you're looking for that ball to replace your Marvel S this is the ball. A great addition to the Storm product line.

I've always been a fan of the Storm hybrid covers some of my biggest success has been with them. So when the Physix was announced i was really excited to get this ball in my hands. Using the new NRG coverstock gave this ball a different look in my bag than the other high end balls i have. I drilled the Physix 40 x 5.5 x 35 very clean in the front part of the lane and even with surface this ball still pops on the back for me. This ball has become a benchmark ball in my lineup and a great choice for someone looking to add to there bag.

The Physix Blackout is the latest addition to the Storm blackout line. This ball uses the NEX pearl cover stock along with the A I technology. Sanded at 2000 out of the box. The Physix for is a very smooth controllable ball. I used the layout of 45x5x35 one of my favorite layouts. Compared to the Virtual Energy Blackout this more of the first ball out of the bag.

I recently drilled a Pitch Blue Layout was 4x3 off of my pap and a one inch hole 4 inches over on my mid line. This ball looks great on dryer lanes or on shorter sport patterns. Very clean in the front part of the lane and gives you room off the spot down lane.

I compared it to my Joyride which was much sharper and pushed me deeper on the lane. My Joyride is a 3x2 1/2 off my pap and was box finish. If your looking for a different type ball reaction the Pitch Blue is a great choice. It a great ball for your high school or college bowler looking to help improve there.

Do you like the IQ solid but sometimes looking for something stronger? The New Storm Promotion is the perfect choice a very smooth ball that blends wet dry when I've seen it. Using the layout of 5 x 3.5 x 45 has really played well in my bag. Most nights this is the first ball out. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for that benchmark ball.

For anyone that has enjoyed the Physix series will welcome this newest addition to that series. The AstroPhysix is one my favorite balls but always felt the cover on the Physix didn't quite match up with my game. BUT, that's not what I'm seeing out of the Proton Physix, for a big ball, this piece is versatile! I drilled my ball with a long pin placing the pin over the middle finger. This allowed me to move left and this would still recover on the fresh.

The latest addition to the Road family is the Storm Road Warrior. The new Storm Road Warrior features the R2S Deep cover stock wrapped in AI technology. Like The Road this quickly becoming my benchmark pearl. Using the layout of 45x4.5x30 gives me the control I need once the lanes transition and I need a longer ball in my hand. Pick one up today at your local Storm VIP pro shop today.

The Storm Rocket Ship has been one of my favorite balls since I drilled it. Compared to the Rocket this ball is more controllable down lane. The Sky Rocket was much weaker and best with some surface added to the cover.

I used the same Layout on my Rocket Ship as my IQ Tour Solid 3 x 4.5
The Rocket Ship picks up faster than the IQ and is stronger off the spot. This is a great choice if your looking for a new ball to add to your bag. This ball really drives though the pocket and creates some great pin action.

When I heard about the Snap Lock released I was really excited. I really liked my Lock and wanted a ball that would complement the original Lock. The snap lock does that very clean with heavy mid lane roll. This goes places the lock can't. It's a great fit between the IQ 30 and the lock. This ball had filled a hole in my bag. I drilled both my lock and snap lock with the same layout and can see a big difference between the two. If you're looking for a high performance ball to add to your bag this is a great choice.

Drilled the New Storm Soniq and this ball has really been a go to ball on medium to dryer lane conditions for me. Out of the box it was a little to clean so i had to break down the polish because of my loft. Once i changed it i got a chance to see what this ball could do! Very clean in the mid lane and strong change of direction off the spot. This is a must for anyone that is a fan of the IQ line and you liked the Iq 30.

I drilled up the new Storm Street Fight. The layout I used was 15x55x5 this pattern rolls pretty early but really kicks on the back end. Compared to the Fight this ball is much longer and sharper change of direction. This ball is a great addition to the Thunder line and a great ball for the value.

Storms latest addition to the Summit line is the Storm Summit Ascent. This uses the Storm R2S solid cover stock that has the go to cover for a very long time. It also features AI technology something that was also in the previous additions to the line. I drilled this ball with the layout of 40x5x45 this ball is super clean for me and when I’m bowling on a higher friction surface this is my go to. Great down lane motion and this ball really continues through the pins. This is a great ball to add to your line up for league play and a nice step down from the Summit Peak

The new Storm Summit Peak is the latest release in the Summit line. This ball uses the TK-23 Pearl cover an A I Technology. 35x3.5x60 This layout Allows the Summit Peak to shape more in the mid lane and more shape off of the break point. This ball is a great option when you need that big pearl move in and open up your angel.

The Storm Super Soniq is a great addition to the master line. The first hybrid we've had since the IQ Fusion. I drilled mine 45 x 5.5 x 30 gives me length and control down lane I need. Compared to my Soniq this ball reads much faster and more controllable off the spot. This is a great ball to add to your lineup and is one of the first balls out of my ball.

When this ball was posted on the Storm page I was really excited to add this to my bag. The layout of mine is 65 x 4 7/8 x 21 and my PAP is 4 1/4 x 1/4 up. This ball does not disappoint on the lanes. Super strong just like an Alpha Crux but reads faster and soon stores energy down to drive through the pins. If you're looking to add a big ball in your bag this is a great choice in the Storm product line.

The newest release to the Hyroad line is The Road wrapped inside of AI Tech and using the REX Hybrid cover stock. This ball offers you great performance for when the lanes get dryer and still giving you that great hyroad shape that has been the a staple of the storm family for a longtime.

I recently drilled up the new Storm Timeless. My layout was 60x5x30 this ball is very clean in the front part of the lane. Gives you a great look in the mid lane like and IQ and still has a strong backend motion. This was the same layout I used on my Phaze II and compared too my Phaze II this ball looks great when you need to step left and get that little extra. This is a great addition to the Storm product line and a great choice to add to your bag.

I had a chance to drill the Torrent with the layout of 5 1/2 x16x45. My PAP is 4 1/4 x 1/4 up. This ball with this layout reads the mid lane really fast with my rev rate and higher ball speed. This ball compared to an IQ Tour solid picks up faster when the IQ goes too long. It's a great choice to add in someone's bag if you need a ball between the Sure lock and IQ.

The latest release in the Belmo line the Storm Trend is continues to how strong this line is. After having the Timeless, Drive and Pro Motion this probably the best yet using the R2S cover really hit the mark! On the fresh this ball pushes a little too long for me. It's a perfect fit in my bag when my pro motion is to strong. Gives me a great shape and more control when I really need it seeing the friction.
