If you the ball that reads the midlane so strong ans still has the power to crush the pocket this is the ball. I have two of them. THe first I drilled prior to bowling several regionals and pba exp leagues.
Thr first I used a 5 x 4 drilling with a one inch pin buffer and a small hole on the pap. Then to give it a little length for the shorter patterns, hit it lightly with Storm Reacta shine. This ball was so smooth and it did over react when it hit the dry.
The second drilling used was a 4 x3 with pin under the fingers, box finish. It starts a little sooner in the heavy oil, but reads the midlane so strong on its way to the pocket. The Dimension is a go to ball.
Patterns used on have been all the PBA patterns and guardian wood lane surface with a 44 foot  blended pattern and a 40 foot House pattern on HPL.
Storm continues to lead the way.

The Storm Dimension has definitely been my "go to" ball.  This past Saturday night in league I shot the following with the Dimension, 300, 279, 231 for an 810 set.  The ball is drilled 3/8 - 3/8 stacked, with low top weight and a 1/2 oz. side.  Absolutely love the ball, it goes through the mid lane and has an extremely strong back end.  Congratulations Norm Duke and the rest of the Storm staff.  Let's have another exciting year!

Pin 3 1/2"
Pin 1 inch above bridge
CG 2 inch below ring finger kicked about 30 degrees
Surface- Factory finish- 2000 Wet Sand

The Dimension is a really good ball for a variety of conditions. If I put all my hand in it, this ball moves like no other ball I have ever thrown. This ball gets through the front, then hooks hard off the backends. You can also play on different parts of the lane. If you want to play gutter to gutter, you can. If you want to take some hand out and play up the gutter, you can. The only problems I have with this ball is it's bad getting through the heads if they are burnt. I also sometimes don't like how much of an angle it is of the spot. I'm not leaving as many 10-pins with it, but I have left many 9-pins. Overall, I really like this ball. It would be a good ball for any bowler.

Storm Dimension

Tweener/Cranker
Pin above ring finger 4" from PAP
CG stacked
OOB Surface

This is the first high end Storm ball I've thrown and I can't say enough about it.  I already had some expectations as I had previously had a Roto Grip Cell and had heard many comparisons between the two, and needless to say my expectations were met and exceeded.  Easy length through the front with a hard, controllable break.  This ball makes a very hard arc through the break and carries the corners extremely well.  It has great continuation and on light hits, throws pins around the deck.  On sport patters, it gives a little more room for error outside as it is able to create enough friction to get back to the pocket.

Overall a terrific ball from Storm and a great introduction for me to their high end line.

I am a high revolution player and i bowl in college on some of the toughest conditions out there and this ball has matched up great with all of them so far.  I feel like I am in total control of this ball whatever I want this ball to do it does.  The general shape of this ball is clean through the heads with a smooth continuous pop off of the spot.  I drilled my dimension 5 inchs from the pap with the cg about 4 inches from the pap.  I will definitely drill another one of these before the year is over.  

Dislikes:
out of the box the cover was a little too aggresive for me and I took it to 4000 abralon so that it would get a little further down the lane.

layout: 2"pin- pin above bridge, CG kicked 45 degrees from the midline
Surface: box (2,000 grit abalone)
 The dimension is one the most versatile balls I have ever thrown. It reads the midlane really well with a strong, continuous backend, but not jerky. Very strong but controllable shape with this layout.  This ball is very predictable and forgivable because it reads the spot so well.

Dislike: only thing I found was that with surface change the ball doesn't read the spot as well.

Layout: 4 1/2 " pin above the ring finger x 2" cg with weight hole 6" from the center of the grip. 1000 Abralon



I have been able to use this ball any where from Sport Patterns to House Shots and have had a lot of success. I am able to use this from  a variety of angles.
Pin carry is amazing. I tried to compare this to my Special Agent drilled similar and it hooks about 5 more boards on the back.

The Storm Dimension is a great all around ball.  I am considered a "tweener" I fall some where in between a stroker and a cranker.  So far I have only used this ball on college sport patterns including one NCAA tournament.  The Dimension is very smooth through the fronts and hits very strong when it gets to the pocket.  I have played up 10 with the Dimension as well as around 18 to 10 and it performed well on both lines.  I will say that on dry or short patterns unless you have the ability to loft the ball it will be hard to find a line.  I do not have the ability to loft the ball so I ended up balling down towards the end of our last tournament.  The Dimension is a great addition to anyones bag who is looking for some hook.

First I want to thank Steve Todd for this great rolling gem! My pap is in my profile and please note that although I track very low, I'm not a spinner release. I laid this ball out with the pin down and 4" from my pap, which placed the pin below my middle finger and I placed the cg right and below the midline this equated to a 50deg layout. I placed a weight hole measured from my grip center through the cg and is placed just below midline 1" past my val. This ball is beyond smooth with a strong move at my breakpoint with amazing continuation. I rolled it with my Special Agent that is drilled with the same 50 deg layout, but with the pin above my ring finger and pin 31/2" from my pap. When I got lined up I could play a similar line with both, but the Special I was maybe a 1 to 2 boards further left, but it didn't have the continuation through the pins like the Dimension. I felt I had more room and forgiveness with the Dimension and will select to use it more because of the extra room I have, because of the smoothness and forgiveness! The carry and hit of my Dimension is better and I like the fact that I can stay lined up longer with the Dimension. I rolled several games using both and when I had to move left with the Special Agent, I was able to stay in the same place with the Dimension, because of the strong arc at the breakpoint. The Special Agent had more deflection at the pocket than the Dimension, even with the stronger move at the break point. Thanks Steve, Hank and Storm for making a very usable piece of equipment, now for a pearl version! Just my $.02, Bruce

The storm dimension is an extremely aggressive and versatile piece of equipment. It clears the fronts well and has the potential to break late oe early depending on the conditions. Although the dimension would be a powerful tool for any house shot, this review is written from a collegiate bowling perspective. Bowling collegiately poses some of the most difficult oil patterns and overall conditions. The dimension has destroyed medium length oil patterns consisting of 41 foot flat and a modified scorpion shot, due to a smooth controlled roll and a consistent break point. However good the dimension may be on medium and longer patterns it is a diffult task to continue to use the dimension on shorter oil patterns, where I usually switch to the t-road pearl, which goes farther down the lane and flips hard on the back end. If you want to get ahead with your game throw storm. It's that simple.

I have my Dimension drilled with the pin half an inch above the right finger and cg stacked.  Overall this is one of the greatest balls I have ever thrown on sport conditions and a very aggressive ball on house shots.  The Dimension has a very controllable reaction, one of the smoothest rolls ive seen, its clean through the fronts and still has the energy to destroy the pins.  I bowl on sport shots all the time (including PBA patterns) and this is my first ball of choice on any pattern 39ft and greater.  I would recommend this ball to anyone who wants to take their game up a notch or fill a void for a high end ball.

Please read my reviews on the gravity shift and rapid fire pearl and how they compliment the dimension for a complete ball arsenal.

When I got my dimension drilled I was planning on using it on the different sports shot conditions I would encounter bowling in college bowling tournaments.  This ball is very versatile allowing me to play up the boards on the left side or move deep inside when the lanes start to break down.  Over all this ball has preformed beyond my expectations on these types of shots.  For me in my typical house shot it is very agressive and can really only be used for about a game.  I shot 780 right out of the box my first set in league competition.  I very highly recommend this ball.

This is an extremely versatile ball. However my first advice to you would be, unless you have no hand or bowl on a puddle of oil, polish this ball immediately. The only reason to ever use this ball sanded would be for a PBA shot, double oiled lanes, and mounds of carry down from little kids and seniors with plastic equipment. This ball is not made to make the big turn, but what it does do better than any ball on the market is roll in oil. If polished, the move will be more defined and slightly bigger than sanded on medium to light oil patterns (but if you're on light oil, put this ball away now!) Holds energy well and carries better than expected. If you fail to heed my advice and decide to use this ball on light oil, you will find it as useless as the Detroit Lions' 08 season. Once understood, this is an amazing ball which continues to put Storm at the head of the bowling world.
