Overview
Rolling an even, controllable reaction down the lane is the stated aim of this Storm ball. The cover uses a new urethane compound, a polyurethane material in crimson.
The new urethane is described as producing a reaction different from current urethane options. It is also PBA compliant. The limitation is how sparse the specs are, with no core, surface or drilling details.
Who it's for
Adult bowlers who want predictable motion over a hooking reaction on lanes that suit urethane. Players who need a drilled ball or published core specs should check with a pro shop first.
Pros and cons
- Smooth predictable reaction
- Unisex adult use
- Drilling not described
- Core details absent
- Weight shown only in the title
Performance notes
A urethane cover grips the lane differently from other cover materials, which makes the reaction smooth and predictable instead of sharp. The description credits the new compound for a reaction unlike current urethane options. Ball weight and drilling decide how it fits a particular hand and release.
