It’s in our DNA. The all new DNA is a brand new ball with a brand new cover and core combination that we have never seen. The all new Supercoil weight block was developed to create a super low RG shape with a greater undrilled intermediate differential. This combined with the new “Exotherm” coverstock that will give you the traction that you are looking for in a strong asymmetric bowling ball. I have seen a lot of great things out of this ball so far. For me this ball is stronger and quicker off the spot than a ball like the Reality. I find myself using this ball early in blocks and/or on longer or high volume oil patterns. Make sure you go out and get yours March 17th!

Review

The all new Storm DNA has a super low RG shape with a high differential. The EXO solid reactive cover combined with the Supercoil Core creates an early midlane read with a big backend, and great pin carry.  I tested the Absolute on a 43 typical house pattern. This ball needs oil. I was able to play track area with great success, standing from 21 to 30. The DNA will be best on medium and heavy oil patterns. This is a great ball for all levels of bowlers.

The next big hook monster is the DNA. Featuring a new cover/core combination we see a strong low RG asym that doesn't quit. I am beyond impressed with this ball and think it will be the next big thing and go down in Storm's history as one of the most popular asym solids of all time. Think of your Alpha Crux, Sure Lock and Code X level of popularity and this is where I believe the DNA will be in line with.
I have thrown this ball a few times and am impressed with how much it continues even as the lanes transition forcing myself deeper and deeper into the lane. Historically, these bigger solids tend to quit as we see a lot of transition although I have yet to see that with the DNA. In league, I have been able to throw it all the way until the end of the night and it continues as well as it did in game 1. This ball will be very versatile and adjust well to different surface changes. This will be great for a variety of lane conditions as well.

Review:
I really did not know what to expect from this ball from the ad sheets but I am really liking what I see so far. The DNA reads the lane pretty early but is able to save good motion for the back end unless the lanes are really dry. In that case a weaker ball would be the choice anyway.  The biggest and best surprise is that this ball is not affected much by too much oil or lack of it. The DNA comes of friction with a nice move but when I got in to where a ball would normally float and hit light the DNA read the lane and drove through the pocket most times splitting the 8,9. I have never had a ball not care about the oil like this one. I am not sure if this was the intent of the new cover stock but it is a very nice asset. This ball will be great for people who need help in the oily part of the lane. I believe this is because of how it stores energy for the back part of the lane. This ball does not quite hook as much as the Original Gem but is stronger that the Phase 2 or Hyped Solid. In fact I kind of see this ball as a juiced up Phase 2. The Strawberry scent of this ball is also delicious. I truly feel this is a different ball motion and the DNA should be a big hit and top seller at ball demos and in the shops once more of them are seen rolled.

Summary:
The DNA will be seeing plenty of lane time from me.
The DNA is not a tweak or upgrade; it is different in a positive way.
I think this will be a great seller for the Storm line.

The New Storm DNA has the Exo Solid Coverstock and the Supercoil Core. When I got the DNA, it impressed me with the shape it made. A lot of midlane control and wasn’t too angular through the pins. When I compared it to my Absolute with the same layout, I saw that they both complimented eachother. Read the same part of the lane, just in fractionally different spots. While the DNA hooked earlier and more forward towards the pins, the Absolute read the spot more angular. I have very high hopes for this one and want to see a lot of success with the DNA!

Storm’s new Premier line ball is the DNA. I drilled my DNA exactly like my Infinite Physix with a 5 x 4 x 4 layout putting the pin in my middle finger. After some practice, use in league, and use on a 40 ft sport pattern, the DNA and Infinite seem to have similar overall hook potentials. The difference I see is in the covers, which were both at 2000 grit for comparison purposes. The new EXO Solid Reactive cover on the DNA seems to have a larger footprint and definitely bleeds off energy earlier than the Infinite. Although I hit the Infinite with 2000, its ReX Pearl cover seems cleaner and a touch quicker on the backend. I expect that the DNA will have more use on the fresh and as the fronts dry up and/or push a bit, the Infinite Physix will come into play.

The DNA is going to be a perfect fit for rev challenged and/or speed dominant players. I also think it’s going to be great at blending lanes and controlling sport patterns.

Review:
The Storm DNA features an all new core and covetstock design. For those that are looking for a similar motion to the Storm Proton Physix or the Super Nova will enjoy the DNA, which provides a new look for your bigger asym solids.  At recent MatchMaker events the DNA has sparked bowling enthusiasts.

For my review I left the 2000 Abralon factory finish on this ball. I was pleasantly surprised how much the DNA glided through the front part of the lane in comparison to the other balls I mentioned above.  After a little lane shine built up on the DNA I was even more surprised and impressed with the results.  One aspect I really liked about this ball is it didn't quit or get into the roll phase too early.

I'm excited to use this ball on heavier to medium volume THS and some sport patterns. In comparison to my Super Nova where I took a fresh factory 2000 finish and hit the ball four sides with a new 4000 pad to get through the fronts better, the DNA surface did not require an adjustment.

For me, my slower ball speed generally has me surfacing balls up slightly to clear the front part of the lane.  If my situation is similar to you, you will notice in a few games your new solid will calm down from the oob finish.

In regards to transition, I really enjoy what the DNA has to offer. The DNA allows a great deal of forgiveness and it is easy to see when you will need to make a change. The Super Nova along with the DNA make a nice one two punch if you desire a two ball combination out of a block of bowling on heavier volume patterns.

Be sure to try out a DNA and fill that gap for fresh league and heavier volume tournament patterns. I'm definitely excited to use the DNA more in tournament competion. Please be sure to visit your favorite pro shop today or https://youtube.com/channel/UC1VA-MgFBo9mIZde-G3T11A for more information.
