The Storm Axiom is your next statement bowling ball. This ball introduces the Orbital Core and the NeX (Nano Extreme) coverstock which is an upgrade to the NRG coverstock. The NeX Solid reads the lane early like no other but doesn't give up any backend reaction. The Orbital Core has a low RG making it a great match for the early reading NeX coverstock and help the ball resist the urge to change directions down the lane. This ball matches up best on medium to heavy oiled lanes.

Bowlers Info: RH tweener, PAP 4-1/2 x 7/8 up, 365 RPM, 17* of Axis tilt, 60* of Axis Rotation

Ball Layout: 50 x 4-1/2 x 40

Finish: Wet 3000

The Storm Axiomâ€¦.this ball is hands down AWESOME!!! I was in need of a ball that was longer and cleaner than my Idol but smaller than my Sure Lock. Enter the Axiom! I drilled it 50 x 4.5 x 40 which is pin above the bridge. The OOB finish was too early so I took it up to 3000 wet sanded. For me, this ball is cleaner than I thought it would be, but man does it turn over once it sees the frictionâ€¦almost asymmetric-like, fun to throw!! On the fresh house pattern, I was able to stay in this ball most of the night moving left, tried multiple inside patterns with success. Couldnâ€™t get deep inside with it, as it would burn up, but thatâ€™s not what this ball is for. I would say it reacts like a bigger Phaze II.

If youâ€™re looking for a bigger piece with big hook, look no further! Go check out this beauty and bowl up a Storm!!!

It's a new cover and a new core, and the all-new Axiom from Storm does not disappoint! The cover is called Nano Extreme ("NeX") and even with the 3000-grit out-of-box surface I have yet to see it sail past the breakpoint. The all-new Orbital core has a very low RG and very high differential (2.48 RG, 0.050 diff). All of this means that not only do you have a ball that won't sail past the spot, but it's perfectly capable of making it around the corner from some pretty insane angles... while still being good on higher volumes of oil AND working well from straighter angles on the fresh and being super consistent through the pins... but yet also never really feels uncontrollable (and if it is, it's time to put it away). On everything from high-friction wood lanes to a center that's snot-tight with a lot of volume downlane, this ball has been nothing but impressive.

The Axiom is Stormâ€™s newest ball in the Master line, it features the new NeX cover, which stands for nano extreme, and the new Orbital core, which features a high density inner ball to help create and maintain a super low RG. Throughout their testing, NeX was shown to be earlier and more durable than any previous nano formulations, and while itâ€™ll be a bit before I can get an idea about the longevity, itâ€™s definitely strong. However, throughout my several comparison videos, the versatility of the Axiom surprised me, because I thought thatâ€™s one area it would suffer in due to the strength. It handles angle decidedly better than any other nano cover Iâ€™ve thrown, and the core performs as advertised, creating a motion thatâ€™s somewhere between symmetric and asymmetric. It winds up better and is more consistent and firm at the breakpoint than the majority of stronger symmetrics, but doesnâ€™t have as much torque as most asyms. This gives it a somewhat unique look on the lanes, it acts a lot like a baby UFO. Itâ€™s not as strong overall, but it shares the same kind of motion.

The Axiomâ€™s coverstock (NeX Solid) is the EARLIEST ROLLING COVER STORM HAS EVER MADE! Thatâ€™s a huge deal. And it is clear to see that fact when you throw the Axiom. Mine is drilled 70x4.25x60 because I wanted the core and cover to transition similarly. There are no surprises on how this ball rolls. The Axiom reads the lane early with a smooth and predictable shape down lane. My Axiom is an earlier, smoother and stronger Phaze 2.

A lot of people are comparing the Axiom to the Phaze 2 and I think that speaks volumes to how good this ball rolls! The Axiom will be in my bag for a really long time!

Review:
This is a monster symmetrical ballâ€¦ for sure the strongest symmetrical ball currently from Storm or Roto Grip. A lot of people are calling this the baby UFO. The shape is almost identical with the Axiom playing a couple of boards on the approach to the right. If you own a UFO you will see similar response to friction and identical hitting power. This thing destroys the pins if you find the pocket. This is a great transition ball from a solid asymmetrical piece allowing you to play a similar line without switching to an asymmetrical pearl and changing your entry angle. Overall this ball is very smooth from front to end of lane, hits like a ton of bricks, and loves oil! If you love to move left and create some area this is a must have in your bag!

LANE CONDITION

The AXIOM â€“ what can I say. This and the Phaze III are my hands down favorite pieces right now. The Axiom will not disappoint polished or Dull.

Patterns used for review are HP modified.
Pattern A: 43Ft, 29 Mls, 5:1 ratio

Pattern B: 40Ft, 27 Mls, 3:1 ratio

PLAY
The Axiom is much like a Phaze III but only stronger. I played the following patterns with two Axioms. One Pin Up out of box surface and one Pin down with polished.
Pattern A:
The Axioms very easily read both patterns. The longer pattern played a little better inside for the OB Axiom. However, the polished Axiom was a to move about the lane with easy, get to the point and make the turn.
Play/Line moves that were used:
Arrows/breakpoint
Axiom OB: 12-5, 17-10, 20-12
Axiom Polished: 12-5, 10-10, 20-12, 10-5
Pattern B:
On this particular pattern the Axiom OB was able to tame down the backend reaction. As the games played on the Axiom began to lose some carry but that was more of area played and slow moves to chase the pattern. However, The Axiom OB was able to get further right as the loss of energy was quicker and back in stayed controllable.
The polished Axiom look like it had been let out of a cage on this. It checks hit the spot cornered and held pocket. The moves left made the ball look better and better but carry stayed in in the 15 to 5 area and slight right. The Axiom didnâ€™t like the move right as much.
Play/Line moves that were used:
Arrows/break point
Axiom OB: 12-5, 17-10, 20-12, 10-5
Axiom Polished: 12-5, 10-10, 20-12, 10-5
LOW DOWN: The Axiom is a must get ball. It compliments all lines from Storm and Roto Grip. You will be surprised at the way you can make the ball arc or snap when needed. POWER! At its best without having to get the biggest ball

The next remarkable benchmark ball to come out of the Storm Plant; the Axiom. The Axiom is the newest addition to the Storm Line. With the all new Orbital Core and the NeX Solid reactive coverstock, the Axiom makes for another dependable benchmark ball that you can rely on that gives the player ultimate control and predictability out of a bowling ball. The Axiom fits between the Phaze 2 and Idol and for the little bit I was able to throw with it, I donâ€™t see it as early as an Idol but not as responsive downlane as a Phaze 2.

The Axiom can handle more oil better than a Phaze 2. Sometimes, I run into issues where I canâ€™t use the Phaze 2 right off the bat to begin a block because it is too responsive downlane, and then when I go to my Idol, it might be too early and not enough downlane. With this Axiom, that problem goes away. As many of you saw, Belmo used two different Axioms on the World Championship show and came away with the win. That just tells you that this ball can be drilled several different ways and handle many different surface adjustments and it seems to get the job done.
Get your Axiom as soon as possible and always bowl up a storm!

Storm Axiom
The all-new Axiom from Storm is gonna be a ball that many will be impressed with. With all that is going on in the world or sometimes releases may come out at the same time and some balls get mixed up or forgotten. This ball is one of the bigger bangs for the price balls. This is going to be your benchmark ball. Just what every league and tournament player needs in their bag, a symmetrical solid reactive strong ball that will let you know whats going on with the pattern that you are bowling on. I did not get as much testing as I would have liked to do to COVID-19. At this time I hope we are all doing our part and we will be back on the lanes soon enough. Speaking only from a fresh THS this ball will not over hook and give you a strong arc roll right into the pocket.

Axiom Ball Review
Layout: 70 x 4.5 x 70 my favorite pin below the fingers drilling for flatter conditions
3000 grit box finish
42' house shot with high volume
41' modified house shot on 6 year old lanes with medium/low volume
Continuation and power through the pin deck!
I drilled 3 of these for 3 completely different styles of bowlers with 3 completely different layouts and all 3 were devastating in the pocket. Itâ€™s very rare that I get super impressed by how a ball hits the pins, but I am impressed with the Axiom. This ball finished over the 8 pin almost every shot from all 3 bowlers. The NeX cover, although off the top of the chart as the most aggressive Storm Nano cover to date, it felt as if I didnâ€™t have to fight it thru the front part of the lane. No doubt it definitely needs some oil in the heads, but not an excessive amount in order to get this ball down the lane. The really low RG Orbital core spins up very quickly like a figure skater when they bring their arms in really close to their body and maintains that all the way thru the pin deck. We saw almost no deflection from this ball when it hit the pocket. The low rev guy could ride the oil line up the track and had a nice smooth, hard motion on the backend. The medium, stroker style bowler was able to play his regular 10 to 5 baby swing and absolutely crushed the pins. I was able to move left of them, between 15 -20 out to 7-8, and this ball mangled the 1-3. Not sure what took out the 9 pin a few shots, but this ball carried everything. It was always on the smooth side and thus never created any weird angles. You can read the lanes and what the ball is going to do very easily, which makes adjustments a cinch. In my tournament bag it would be Stronger than my Pro Motion/Phaze II (first balls out of the bag), but less than my UFO. It fits very nicely in that Medium/Strong Symmetrical spot covering a ton of lane conditions for various styles of bowlers. For leagues, it would be a first ball out of the bag covering everything but the flood or the desert. Hope this helps. #StormNation

Review:
The New Storm Axiom may be my favorite big hooking Storm ball so far! The Axiom is a great core to cover match and even though it reads the lane rather quickly it never quits. Normally I like Asymmetric balls for hook on heavy patterns but the Axiom exceeded my expectations on the wetter lanes. I feel that when using a Symmetric ball like the Axiom, you donâ€™t have to move as much or as quickly as when rolling an Asymmetric. The Axiom is very strong but predictable. The Axiom hits and carries great and can be used from different angles with great success. The Axiom also polishes well but still provides a lot of hook potential. The color of this ball is very nice and polish makes it look even better while giving it a bit more length and back end. The Blueberry Muffin Scent is also a fan favorite of my aroma customers. I have been able to use this Strong ball longer than most before I ball down which is good because I do not want to put it down!

Summary:
The Axiom is very strong and handles wet lanes easily.
The hit and carry is fantastic.
My customers like the color and the smell!
The Axiom will be very popular at our shops.

I was very impressed withI was very impressed with the Axiom from the first shot I threw with it. It has the Orbital Core wrapped in the NeX cover stock, which is Stormâ€™s strongest cover to date. I am a big fan of the Idol and Phaze 2, and this ball compliments those two very well. I recently used the Axiom in two tournaments, and it was my first ball out of my bag when my asymmetric balls were burning up to soon. The Axiom gives you a strong continuous roll in the mid lane while never stopping down lane. Once the Axiom started hooking too early, I switched to the Idol and it was the perfect step down. The Axiom has earned a permanent spot in my bag. The layout I used is 50X5X25.

The Storm Axiom is a brand new solid symmetrical from Storm. The Axiom HOOKS and CONTINUES like no other ball Iâ€™ve ever seen. It revs up like an asymmetrical but it continues like a HyRoad. It gets back from everywhere. I LOVE the Phaze 2 and the Axiom might be better!

Axiom wow .. The New symmetrical solid from Storm featuring the Nex coverstock. This ball is a beast for a symmetrical it really digs in on the mid lane and has a strong down lane reaction. I have used this ball in league and loved it. Stayed with it all night moving slightly left. Ball is very smooth and predictable for me.

Storm Axiom
Cover: NeX Solid
Core: Orbital
Layout: 5 x 30

When a ball is said to be the earliest reading cover to date, I naturally donâ€™t expect much downlane motion. I donâ€™t know how they did it, but that is not the case with the Axiom. Where the Phaze II might skid a bit too much or go a bit too long for a pattern before picking up, I think the Axiom is the logical bump up. It rivals some of my higher end asymmetrical balls in the line in overall hook, but provides a shape more characteristic of symmetrical balls. For me personally, I have had more success on sport patterns with the Axiom since most of the house patterns I bowl on lack enough oil in the fronts, causing the Axiom to pick up too quick.
