Thnk Hyroad Pearl, but on steroids.  This was my first impression of the new Storm bowling Road Warrior.  The core of this ball is the prove FE2 AI core and this ball is wrapped in R2S Deep Cover.  The colors that were used on this ball really pop as well. 

The first thing that struck me about the Road Warrior is its impressive ability to handle a wide range of lane conditions. Whether I was dealing with heavy oil or lighter conditions, the ball performed exceptionally well, providing consistent hook potential and a smooth transition through the backend. For me, this was everything that I loved in the Hyroad pearl, only much better. 

What I appreciate most about the Road Warrior is its versatility. It performs well across various styles, whether you're a straight bowler or someone who prefers a more aggressive hook. The adaptability makes it a fantastic choice for league play, or tournaments.  While this a ball can be used on the fresh, this ball for me excels later in the day where I have to get the ball through the fronts.  The cover makes this ball glide, but I have no doubts the ball will come off the spot strong, allowing me to be confident when throwing it away from me.

The Storm Bowling Road Warrior has solidified its place in my bowling bag. If you're looking for a bowling ball that excels on a variety of lane conditions while still offering style and comfort, the Road Warrior is an excellent choice.

COMMENTS:

The Ethos Hybrid is the earlier hooking cousin to the original Ethos.  This one grabs the lane earlier than the original and works both on the fresh and on the breakdown.  The cohesion additive really adds to the utility and the predictable nature of this ball.  The Ethos Hybrid is a great first ball out of the bag as it handles oil well, blends the wed dry, and also handles carrydown well.  I found this ball to be perfect league ball and should find a spot in the bag for most styles.  The Ethos hybrid is an ideal benchmark ball.

The Mesmerize is quite possibly the strongest ball I have ever thrown.  I have not run into a lane condition where it would not hook.  We also have not found a bowler that throws the ball too fast for it to be useable.  The HK22 cover with cohesion additive seems to get this ball started without it going forward early like other aggressive bowling balls.  As you get further left and the lane transitions, this ball will still strike.  If you're looking for the strongest ball on the market, prepare to be Mesmerized!

The Origin features the 93 Hybrid Reactive cover stock wrapped around the Ellipse Asymmetric A.I. core.  The all-new Power Edge polish makes this ball a gamechanger.  This ball is clean and super responsive down lane.  This ball reminds me a lot of the Harsh Reality Pearl but in hybrid form so it a touch earlier but just as strong.  This is a great game one ball on house shot.
