WARNING: You need a Code Black on the lanes! The Storm Code Black features a RAD4 core. This high torque, high differential core technology was very successful internationally so Storm is introducing it to the US through this high performance bowling ball. This core is paired with Storm's proven R2S Pearl Reactive coverstock and finished with a 1500 grit polish. This combination causes the ball to glide through the front part of the lane then create the unique breakpoint shape and backend reaction that Storm is known for.

After having a few months to throw the code black I am extremely impressed. With being a rev dominant bowler, it's often hard for me to throw asymmetric balls with strong covers during league. The code black with its weaker cover clears the fronts like nothing else, still revs up in the midlane, and produces a strong continuous backend motion. I've thrown mine in multiple houses on a few patterns and I'm very impressed. Huge winner here from storm! #StormNation

The Storm Code Black was an overseas release and it is now state side! One of my favorite balls was the IQ Tour pearl, well the Code Black has the same cover in the

R2S Pearl Reactive. Very Clean, but has a very strong core with a diff of 0.058. So you get strong midlane roll with the Asymmetrical core and huge backend motion.

I drilled mine 4 x 5 x 2.25. This is ball is a home run for Storm, great length and gives a ton of miss room to the right. The Code Black has been the popular ball in the Storm Matchmaker events that I have worked.

My name is Doug Cutler and I am a Storm/Roto Grip Staffer and my ball review today is the Storm Code Black.  I am left handed and my ball speed is around 15.5-16.0.  I drilled my Code black with my Favorite drilling Pin Under the fingers, and the CG kicked to the left a little.  The surface I hit it with a used 3000 and man I love it. This Code Black is a Beast.  The Code Black is the Strongest Assym Storm has in their line and I think it is the strongest Assym on the market.  I have used this ball on multiple lanes conditions from Medium to Long patterns like Abby Road, and Rome, and Mexico City to your Typical House Shot and have done well on all of the conditions. I have shot 1- 300 and a 813 with this ball. The Code Black definitely creates angle down lane.  It will be best used on longer patterns, but can be used on medium patterns when you need more down lane motion. When I need something strong, but my Alpha Crux and Snap are to early, I use the Code Black.  Comparing it to the Snap Lock, the Code Black is cleaner and more angular down lane. What makes the Code Black special is that it doesn't give you the over/under reaction you can get from pearl bowling balls.  While it clears the front of the lane, it still picks up in the right spot and creates nice angle to go through the pins.  If you needing a strong angular ball in your bag, you need to get yourself a Code Black. I promise you will not be disappointed. #codeblack #stormnation #bowlupastorm

I've had a chance to drill two Code Black's one pin up and one pin down. Storm hit a homerun on this ball it's a great addition to there top line. This ball is cleaner in the fronts than the Snap Lock and more change of direction. My pin up allows me to play a part of the lane I can't normally get too. I can move way left when there's a big puddle and this ball can still make it back to the pocket. My pin down let's me stay more square to line and is much more controllable for me.
