Hello everyone and welcome to another Beyond the Arrows Ball Reviews brought to you by Striking Results Pro Shop, Bowlifi and Turbo 2 n 1 Grips, today we will be reviewing the new Storm Phaze AI
The Phaze AI has a low RG value of 2.47 which means it will rev up early in the mids and a medium to high differential of 0.053 resulting with a big flare potential in the backend.
The Phaze AI features the Velocity core being wrapped in the Amplified Inertia outer core.    The Velocity A.I. Core elevates the low RG/high differential symmetric combination, enhancing ball dynamics and significantly boosting pin carry. This advanced outer core smooths out the backend reaction without over-reacting.
In addition, The Phaze AI features the brand-new polishing compound called Power Edge.  By combining the TX-16 Pearl coverstock previously seen in the Storm Journey you will the strongest symmetric pearl on the market.
I did a ball comparison to the Storm Lightning Blackout and the Roto Grip Optimum Idol Pearl on a 42 ft house shot, 25 ml of oil. 
In comparison to the Lightning Blackout, the Phaze AI starts up sooner and has bigger footprint on the backend which is great for sport patterns with more volume up front.  The Blackout is very smooth through the mids and off the spot in the backend which gives you a very predictable ball motion good for the wet/dry backends.
In comparison to the Optimum Idol Pearl, again the Phaze AI starts up quicker due to strength of the core and cover combination but the Idol is again very smooth through the mids but does pack a punch for the backend.
As per the surface adjustments, the Phaze AI comes out of box with Power Edge polish which is 500>1000>Power Edge
On heavy oil the optimum surface would be a 500>1000 grit Abralon.
In the bag, will be the Roto Grip Xcell, HRP, Phaze AI and Storm DNA Coil

 R2S Deep is cleaner through the front compared to the flagship R2S formula. This yields a more aggressive It’s difficult to find another coverstock as reliable and flexible as TX-16. First established by the Phaze™ II, TX-16 has been inspiring confidence in bowlers around the world for years. In this hybrid version, it marries length with strength to create versatility on a level rarely seen. The Ion Pro was designed to redefine what “benchmark” truly means. Shape to the pocket with more overall angle through the pins.
 COMMENTS
I drilled this ball pin up with my favorite drilling It’s a strong ball but very clean through the front part of the lane for me. I love this ball but it does hook I put 2000 surface with an abralon pad to give me a better reaction. This is the first asymmetric benchmark ball ever designed by Storm Bowling

A specific photo would help other members better assess the value of your ball. But as far as I know, a used vintage AMF bowling ball like the Exacta Pro Roll can be worth anywhere from $25 to $75.

I'm particularly excited about the new drilling converter and the No Thumb Resources QR code. This should make it much easier to fine-tune the ball's reaction to match individual styles and lane conditions.

Finally, a pearl Phaze is BACK!! But how does this one improve upon the most recent iteration, the Phaze V? First, the updated core features A.I. tech. So, longer continuation window, more gradual change of direction, and better carry. Second, the coverstock is TX-16 Pearl, a healthy step up from R2S Pearl which was featured on the Phaze V. With all of these things together, you get a Phaze that is true to the identity of Storm but also provides great length, continuation and versatility. With a cover that can handle more oil and a core that keeps going from bigger angles than the original, the Phaze A.I. is a really impressive piece that fills a gap and is SUPER useable on today's conditions.
