Storm Bowling Road Warrior Review
Layout
VLS-5 3/8x4x1 3/4
Surface-Power Edge
Storm has added another option in the road series with the new Road Warrior.The Road Warrior uses the the modified Hyroad core with AI technology wrapped with the R2S Deep Pearl Coverstock.
The Road Warrior will be a great option on medium to dry lanes when you need length and a strong backend.
If your looking for a replacement for the Hyroad pearl the road warrior will be a great choice.I feel like the Road Warrior reads the midlane a little sooner than the Hyroad pearl but still with a strong backend.
In my arsenal the road warrior will have the most length of all the current road series balls with the strongest backend.
The Road Warrior will be available November 22nd!!!!!!

10946 - Roto Grip / Roto Grip X-Cell

« Last post by StormRoto on November 17, 2024, 12:38:13 AM »

The new release in the Roto Grip HP4 line is the RG X-Cell. To me this the ball that back in the day that put Roto Grip on the map! Huge successful bowling ball back in 2008. Probably the Cell and Haywire has been my 2 favorites of all time for RG. 2024 the team added A.I. technology and a new modern day cover.
Man is the ball just good! I drilled mine pin down 4.5 x 4 x 4.5 added a little step 2. Same predictable roll, not too early and good arcing shape down lane. But the X-Cell Roll is just different than other Asymmetrical solids. This ball roll just carries extremely well for me. Whether it is on house or sport patterns the X-cell is very versatile. Its my top Asymmetrical benchmark ball in my arsenal. Its below the Absolute Power and Ion Max. But stronger than the Phaze 2 or Idols. Great bowling ball period.

55171 - Storm / Storm Road Warrior

« Last post by Kevin Duncan on November 16, 2024, 10:19:30 PM »

Storm Road Warrior
Layout: 5 x 4 x 2 Storm Pin Buffer Layout
Rev Rate: 325 rpm, 7 degree of axis tilt, 40 degree of axis rotation
Testing information: 41 foot THS (medium to light volume)
Bowling Center: Fulton Bowling Center
Kegel Machine – Brunswick Anvilane

Storm’s Road Warrior utilizes the R2S Deep coverstock and the Inverted Fe2 weight block. The weight block is surrounded by A.I. Core Technology. WOW - The ball is really good. The Road Warrior will shine when the lanes get chopped up and you need length and backend.

55171 - Storm / Storm Phase AI

« Last post by Kevin Duncan on November 16, 2024, 09:02:59 PM »

Storm Phase AI
Layout: 4.5 x 4.0 x 2.0 Storm Pin Buffer Layout
Rev Rate: 325 rpm, 7 degree of axis tilt, 40 degree of axis rotation
Testing information: 41 foot THS (medium to light volume)
Bowling Center: Fulton Bowling Center
IKON Kegel Machine – Brunswick Anvilane

The Storm Phase AI utilizes the TX-16 pearl reactive cover along with the Velocity weight block plus AI Core technology. Can the Phase AI live up to the OG – Phase II? Only time will tell. I threw the Phase AI the last five frames of game 4 of Monday night league after my Roto Grip Optimum Idol Solid quit carrying. I did not have much luck with getting lined up or carrying. I went high the first two shots then 8-pin, 10-pin, and 8-pin. Lol. During my ball review of the Phase AI, I had much better success. I did see a tendency for the ball to miss the break point but I think it was more indicative of the leftover league shot than the Phase AI. I need more time throwing it in different bowling centers before making the decision to add it to my tournament bag or not.

The Roto Grip Attention Star S2 utilizes the eTrax + Hybrid cover along with the Momentous plus AI Core. The AS2 is earlier and stronger than the OG Attention Star. The AS2 should be a good No. 1 or 2 ball in your tournament bag depending on your style.

12098 - Drilling & Layouts / Re: Ball reaction when weight hole is plugged!

Quote from: TWOHAND834 on October 31, 2024, 07:32:14 AM

Part of that depends on where the weight hole is. If it is straight across from the center of your grip, it wont affect it much at all. If it is down close to your thumb, then the ball will be slightly weaker overall. But since you are already a slow speed, low revs guy, then as Milo mentioned, you may not see much difference at all. You would really have to know what you are looking at to see much of anything.

FWIW I'd also have to agree with TwoHand

12098 - Miscellaneous / Re: Resurface or get a new ball

« Last post by charlest on November 16, 2024, 02:26:18 AM »

While you definitely need to resurface them, the bucket method does not necessarily get out all or even most of the oil a ball has absorbed. I tried it several times with 5 or 6 different balls and mostly got mixed results, more negative than positive. You're much better off getting the oil extracted using one of the many machines available for that specific job.
