I picked this thing up since the pearlized cover would clear the heads and mids easier for me compared to my invasion. I have it drilled the same as my invasion with a 4x4x1 PSA layout. I have to say that for a pearlized ball, this thing is monstrous. Where my invasion would push and not come back, this thing comes back like a laser guided missle. To me, I consider this ball stronger then my invasion. The invasion with the same layout tends to burn up its energy in the mids and lose its steam in the back. Instead of a long smooth arc like the invasion, this anarchy just saves all its energy later for a sudden turn into the pocket. The anarchy seems to be a great ball for medium conditions after that heavy volume of oil has been thinned where an invasion would hook too early. Instead the anarch still has a gentle glide through the mids and smashes the pocket later with a flank from the side. Even though to me the anarchy hooks way harder, I consider the two balls a great compliment to each other. Rule the lanes with a storm.

I have been long needing a new bowling ball and finally decided to make the move to Storm. Compared to my old Twisted Fury and Absolute Inferno, the Invasion is a beast. I had mine drilled 4" pin to pap x 4" mass bias to pap x 2" pin buffer (nothing too crazy) and the pin resides roughly 1 inch above my ring finger. On a fresh lane (heavy oil) this thing is a dream to work with. I can line up just about anywhere and find the pocket by simply changing my hand position at the release. Compared to my two brunswick balls, I would have to slow them down and play right of the 20 board, playing any deeper and they would never come back. The invasion worked great from lining up far right and just rolling the ball out at 5 degrees off the hand and still finds the pocket. Line up far left with a change of hand position to 45-50 degrees and this thing will skid all the way out to the 5 board and still come back destroying the pocket. After the lanes break down a bit, this ball begins biting the lane early and reading dry spots. To get the ball to play on the same line requires increasing ball speed or reducing rpm or even both. A drying lane doesn't mean you would have to switch balls though because like I mentioned earlier, this ball is very versatile with simply changing hand position to give it a different reaction/roll and pick a different line to finish up. This is my first Storm ball and my impression is just wow! I should have done it sooner. The scent of berries and cream isn't too bad either :).
