Storm Wipe Out Ball Review by PJ Haggerty

Another home run from Storm, shocker right? For the bowlers looking to keep the wallet in tact and still get a great performing ball, this is the one to drill. For your more league-driven bowlers, they will be able to use this early on when the lanes are fresh and there is plenty of friction down lane. For the tournament players, this will provide a cleaner/smoother/slower response time type motion for those sport/PBA patterns. A ball that was similar to this shape was a 2Furious. I LOVED the 2Furious and am stoked a similar type shape is being released.

My Wipe Out is drilled approximately 4 ½ x 4 ½ and I used threw it right out of the box. The surface is a little deceiving because it does look pretty dull. After some games, the surface shines up a bit and is definitely one of the smoothest balls in my bag. If you polish the Wipe Out, it will definitely create more length and make the response time quicker. I’d keep it around 3000 to be very versatile on many different patterns.

I have had success with this type of motion on shorter patterns that have forced me closer to the gutter as well as flatter patterns where the high performance balls are too strong. The response time is slower while still providing a clean motion. If you are looking for a quicker response time with a similar shape, look toward the Punch Out. The Wipe Out and Punch Out provide a solid one-two punch at a very attractive price point.
