Thread: New Storm Ball

  1. #1

    Default New Storm Ball

    The new Storm ball Fight just came out. Apparently it has a very large core. The place I bowl got 4 of them in, and sold them all on the first day they got them. According to what I have read, the ball is not a big-hooking ball. One guy shot 800 with his the first night. What is it about this ball that sets it apart from the rest of the pack? What is it that the big core is supposed to do? It is not a real expensive ball either, which surprised me, because all the guys waiting for it were very eager to get it. I was expecting a real expensive price point.

    Very late breaking ball, with a huge RG (2.62). I'm going to order mine today. That big a** core should also result in Mack truck-like hitting power.
    Old guy with power (15.5-16; 325). Current arsenal--Storm Summit, RotoGrip Idol Helios, Storm Phaze III, Storm SureLock (retired), Storm IQ Tour Nano and Motiv Rebel tank (spare/dry). High sanctioned game - 300 (5). High sanctioned series - 856. A.V. 300-s - 8. Longest string - 25.
    2024/2025 YTD highs--High game-288; high series-736

    From what I have heard from a few people who have gotten one is the ball retains it tilt and hooks longer than most other balls should be a great ball for those that don't have a lot of hand and the ball tends to roll out on them.

    Guy on the other team bowled with a Fight last night that he just drilled up, 211, 279, 279 for a 769. Not bad for right out of the box.

    I wanted a Fight but my PSO talked me out of it. The houses I bowl do not have the oil needed to utilize the ball. Instead he sold me a Phase for pretty much the same price (I buy a lot from him so I got a real good discount). He warned me that the ball would not hook a lot the first few days I used it but once the polish started to ware off it would surprise me. It took about 3 games the wow love this ball.

    How does the Phaze compare to your Haywire?

    Sorry but I could not give a fair assessment because my haywire has been sanded and polished to a 3000 surface.

    Also I have not used the Phase on AMF lanes as I have the haywire and the Haywire has only seen AMF lanes.

    Tonight I used the Phase for 3 games on the current house lanes and was surprised to see it come back on shots I just knew I was too wide right. Granted I would leave a single pin but the alternative of being in the right channel was not as appealing. Pretty pleased with this ball so far.
