I throw this ball on THS, and I recommend this ball because of the forgiveness it gives. I drilled this ball with the pin above my ring finger with the CG in line. It's very aggressive and opens the backend of the lanes up. This ball reads the fronts so smoothly; it never jumps or reads early. I left the out of the box finish on the ball so I could play deeper in the oil. When I put a little polish on the ball, it allows me to open the backend of the lane up giving me more room for error, and still carriers great. I have seen nothing but great results with this ball; the Defiant Soul would be an awesome addition to your arsenal

Not only is this probably the most versatile ball I have ever thrown, I watched a fellow league member throw 35 out of 36 strikes with it. If you want to play the dry part of the lane, just shine it up. If you want to play the middle part of the lane, just leave it out of the box. I have 2 of these balls drilled - one for oiler conditions, and one drilled for skid flip. This ball is able to read the front part of the lane perfectly, and really jumps off the dry. This is a great tournament ball, in that is allows you to be aggressive on tough lanes.

This is an ideal ball for the league bowler. I have not found a better mid-priced ball on the market. I drilled this ball pin up with the CG swung out about an inch. When my Storm IQ Tour won't make the turn, my Wrecker will with no problem. I bowl a lot of tournaments, and this ball is always in my bag. This ball gives me so much backend that I can play almost anywhere I like, and the carry with this ball is great

I just had the privilege to drill the Storm Byte and got to throw it in league and I was blown away. I'm left handed and placed the pin over my middle finger and put the mass about 1.5 inches from my thumb. This ball gave me the extra length that the Sync was missing, and the pearl cover makes it is cleaner threw the fronts. When it comes off the pattern it is very controllable and very continuous through the pins. So if you have a Sync in your bag you should count down the days till the Byte is released.

If you liked the Frantic you will love the Freak'n Frantic. This ball hits so much better than the original Frantic; it is hard to believe that is even possible! I can play 15-7 with this ball and create so much room. This ball is a great value as it is as good as any $220 ball on the market, but costs between $160-$170 at most pro shops. It is a great ball for any condition, I have been able to use it on any pattern, and score well with it too!

This ball is just as amazing as the original Hy-Road. I drilled this ball with the pin above the ring finger and the cg swung out 2 inches with the weight hole on my axis. I love throwing this ball because it rolls so smooth and is so strong on the backend. The carry is great too! I've only had this ball a few weeks and have already shot many high 270's with it. I'm going to drill another Hy-Road Pearl with the pin down in order to play the wetter lanes just as well. This is a versatile ball that is a must have in your bag at tourneys.

I never got to use the Intense but the Intense Fire for me is very clean in the fronts and a good amount of pop on the back end. Being that our THS are pretty dry this ball allows me to play just about any part of the lane that I want. Once the transition sets in I can move an easy 3 and 2 and the ball won't miss a beat. My PAP is 5 1/8 over and 1/8 up and I used the 5X4X3 layout

The IQ Pearl Tour - This is the best looking pearl ball on the market and a must have in your bag. I can best compare it to the Storm X-Factor in that it has a very predictable ball roll. My ball is drilled with the pin above both fingers, and the CG kicked out about an inch and a half with a weight hole on my axis. This ball reads the front end of the lane great and has a really strong backend motion. This ball is great for tournaments; it never over reacts, and I always know what it is going to do. I have seen other people throw this ball and have the success I have had with it. Thanks Storm, for the best pearl ball since the X-Factor

Black and silver - what a great combo! I use this ball when the lanes are too wet for my Natural and too dry for my stronger balls. This ball rolls so smooth and is so controllable on the backend. I usually start this ball around 10 and never really have to move. This ball allows me to play straighter and still open up the backend of the lanes. I have shot many great games with the Lights Out so far; it is a must have in your bag!

When the lanes are too tight for everything I have in my bag, I pull out the Marvel S. When everyone else is struggling to get their stuff to hook, I can move a little to the left and it works great! I drilled this ball pin down with the cg in line and it is a beast on the lanes! Out of the box I can play from 20 to 7 and never have to move. When I shine it I can open up the backend of the lane, and the ball carries good no matter how deep I get. On oilier sport patterns this ball works great. I give this ball a 10 out of 10 on being able to use it on all shot patterns. Fantastic job, Storm - you hit this one out of the park!

Power is the key word to describe this ball. This ball is very strong in the mid lane, and has a very nice arc on the backend of the lane. Mine is drilled with the pin up between both fingers and the CG just kicked out a little. This ball is very strong, and I had to shine it to get it through the front part of the lane. Shining this ball allowed me to open up a tight lane condition. Where the Reign of Power has the same C.A.M. core as the Reign of Fire, this ball has a much better look. It reads the lane early, but still has plenty of backend motion left. This ball can give a bowler confidence on any type of lane condition.

The Reign On will not disappoint. For me this ball is later than the Reign of Power and more of an arcing backend motion. I have mine drilled pin above my middle finger and the cg below my ring finger. As I am left handed this ball allows me to stand more left than the Power and play a little straighter and if needed I can move right and open the lanes. I haven't had the chance to throw this on a sport pattern yet but I am confident that it will perform as I want it to.

Being that I loved the original IQ Tour (had 6 of them) I couldn't wait to get me hands on the new Soniq. Once I got it I put my favorite drilling on it which is pin above my ring finger and the cg 1.5 inches from my center grip with a low hole and I wasnt disappointed. This balls goes longer than the Tour and bounces out the end of the pattern harder for me. When the fronts start to go this ball allows me to move in more and still have the confidence that I need. #StormNation

This ball is so much better then the original Natural. Where the original Natural lacks in backend motion this Natural really moves on the backend, and really slaps the 7 pin out. When the lanes are very dry this ball allows me to square up and play where no one else can. So if you are looking for a weaker ball with strong hitting power, this is the ball for you. It's great on shorter sport patterns and is undoubtedly the best urethane ball out there!

I have bowled with this ball mainly on house shots, and on some sport conditions. This ball is really controllable on the more sensitive lane conditions. This is not your typical Storm ball where you get skid and strong flip. This ball is very aggressive, great for oiler conditions. This ball gives you great hook early and very strong backend motion. It allowed me to play deeper in the lane and still finished. I am able to move more right with this ball and create greater entry angle. Where the IQ and Vivid will not recover, this ball will. With an out of the box finish I am able to play deeper in the lane and it still carries great. When the ball is shined, it allows me to move further left and play a much straighter angle and still has a very strong backend motion. I think this is Storm's best ball for the wet conditions. A must have in your bag
