# Description: Enter…a new Dimension. At the heart of the Dimension is the all new, technologically advanced Continuum core, unique in that it merges two identical asymmetric halves 90 degrees, yet creates equal mass displacement (symmetry). Encasing the new Continuum core is Storm''''s R2X, a product of continual evolution and refinement. Send your game into the next Dimension…

My Dimension has a 4 1/2 by 3 1/2 layout with a hole an inch from my axis.  I left the surface at 1000 abralon.  I found this surface to be the best fitting for my game.  This ball works really well on heavier volume in the middle of the lane.  The pba patterns I find most success on with this bal are Shark and Scorpion.  The Dimension gives me an earlir roll but doesnt burn up, and a continuous motion through the pins.  I Love this Ball

See stats for profile. Drilled one to try out.

Lay Out: 5" from PAP over my ring finger at a 65* angle. This would be a 65/5/35 dual-angle drilling. I have not touched it with a weight hole.

Surface: I have been leaving this at 2000 abr and touch the surface up with a 2000 pad when the cover starts to slick up from lane oil.

Purpose: To give myself a ball that could be used on longer patterns and ones with higher volumes.

Initial Observations: I have tried this out on some house conditions, our PBAX and Sport league patterns, and PBA Central Region patterns. This ball is the real deal and performs as advertised. I pulled this out on Shark in league and had no problem getting it to read the lane early enough to carry on Shark on Pro Anvilane. I also used this on a medium/lower volume-44 foot long pattern later in the summer playing more up the lane and this ball stood out again. I can find use for this when I need to start a little more in the puddle on THS and can keep moving left into fresher oil and get this ball to finish with no problem.

Final thoughts: This ball is everything Storm advertises and then some. I have word-of-mouthed it to several players who frequent our shop and several league bowlers and these have shown up on racks all over central Ohio. I am tempted to get another one and drill it more of a angular layout and give it a smoother surface to try to fill a gap in my bag that is badly in need of filling. Try one of these out and I think you will be plesantly surprised.

DIMENSION -pin above ring finger- 4 1/4 pin to PAP,  Cg  kicked at 70 degrees
DIMESINON is overall more hook then the SPECAIL AGENT. I have two SPECIAL¡¦s  with pin below the fingers and decided to drill the DEMINSION more stable since the cover looked to be stronger. Its great to use on the longer patterns or when there is carry down and if the front part of lane allows you ļ.
The ball is continuous and stores the energy better than the SPECIAL which is remarkable because the SPECIAL stored it pretty well. For me the ball is too strong for league shots and I have mainly used in long pattern tourney¡¦s or medium patterns when the backs carry down.

Drilled two Dimensions.  Number one Dimension is drilled with a 5 inch pin to PAP below Bridge, CG Stacked, no hole.  Number two Dimension is drilled with a 5 inch Pin to PAP pin above fingers, cg 3 inches from PAP, extra hole on PAP.  First off let me say that this is and has become my benchmark ball of the Storm line.  Number one Dimension was drilled with the intention to give me a strong midlane read and respond smooth to friction down lane.  With this drill and leaving it with an out of box finish this is exactly what it gives me.  Number two Dimension was drilled with the intention to use when I need a strong mid lane read, and a stronger response to friction down lane.  With it's out of box finish, this is the exact reaction I was looking for out of this drill.
 After testing this ball with different surfaces, I can use this ball on just about any volume of oil except the most dry conditions.  The ball reads the mid part of lane so well and doesn't burn up like other balls I have seen that dig into oil.  The continuation through the pins is what separates this ball from the competition.  With that being said if you are looking for a piece of equipment that you feel confident you can use 85 to 90% of the time, whether it be on a house pattern, sport pattern, or tournament pattern, this is the ball for you.  If you liked the Special Agent, you will love this ball. It gives you that look you wish the Special Agent gave you at times. Can't wait for other releases in this line!

Finally after having this ball for a while I am please to post a review. Storm did an amazing job designing the new Storm Dimension.

 I drill this ball using MoPinel dual angle layout.  It has a 45 degree drill angle and a 30 degree VAL angle with a low weight hole.  This layout produces length though the heads and a really strong continuous arc through the pins.  The surface is still in box condition.

 I have been able to use this ball on all PBA patters except the Cheetah which is the shortest of them all.  The best pattern that the ball performed on was the Shark and the Scorpion.  I have tried to use the ball on the THS in the center where I work but the ball over hook or either was DOA (dead on arrival)…this was due to wood lanes and the minimum volume of oil.  In another center that has synthetic lanes the ball was able to get down lane and transition a little hard than on the PBA patterns.  (My first game in this house was 279).

Overall my take on the Dimension is that it needs oil to perform to its maximum potential.  And when you have enough oil you will destroy the competition!

Great job once again from Storm!

I HAVE BEEN Using THIS BALL AS MY A BALL Since STORM FIRST ROLLED THIS BALL OUT.
THE CENTER I BOWL IN HA LOTS OF OIL AND I FIND THIS BALL WORKS WELL ON OIL. I CAN STAY WITH THIS BALL MOST OF THE NIGHT, WE BOWL 4 GAMES IN LEAGUE .I DRILLED THE BALL WITH THE PIN ABOVE THE FINGERS 31/2 FROM PAP. MY BALL SPEED IS 13.5 AT THE BREAK POINT. I'm 65 YEARS OLD AND BOWL FROM A WHEELCHAIR AND CARRY A 195 AVERAGE. HOPE THIS GIVES YOU SOME INFORMATION AND TRY THIS BALL YOU WILL LIKE THE ROLL AND CARRY. WALT ROY REDDING,CA

I drilled the Dimension with my favorite layout 4x4 no hole with the out of the box finish {2000}. The ball hooked to soon so I had to take  the ball down to 4000 which keep the energy much better to the break point. I was able to then use the ball on many different condition's all with good result's, the ball seams to have a  great hitting power even if I come in half pocket it blow's the pin's right off the deck. AMAZING! I used a 5 inch pin above the finger's on the next ball and was really amazed how well it worked. I took the cover to 600 grit then used Storm's #2 polish over the top and that really allowed the ball to store the energy on the backend and the hit was great! So between the two ball's how can you go wrong? Keep in mind all of these ball's can be adjusted to the ball reaction you are looking for with minor surface work.
 
 Thank's Storm Product's for continuing to raise the bar in bowling ball technology. I am looking forward to the Virtual Gravity and Hy Road along with Roto Grips new Pearl Cell. It just keeps getting better and better!

 All the Best
