Storm Electrify Hybrid
Storm created the Electrify line of bowling balls to offer value performance along with control in motion. This line of balls works well for beginners to pros. The Electrify bowling balls feature the Circuit Core which uses a lower RG and medium differential to offer accuracy. The Hybrid version of this ball utilizes the Reactor Hybrid coverstock which produces mid-lane traction and is great for bowlers looking for more control with a smooth backend reaction on medium to light oil.

Introducing Storm’s new low end hybrid, the Electrify Hybrid. The Electrify Hybrid has the new Circuit Core wrapped with the Reactor Hybrid Coverstock. With a RG of 2.51 and a differential of .030, this ball is a great piece for when you need a ball that is very clean and angular downlane. When you find your lower end balls like the hyroad being too early, this ball is a great step down because its still going to give you the length you see from the hyroad but it’ll be smoother and not as violent in the backend. The Electrify Hybrid and Electrify Pearl are an awesome 1-2 punch so make sure you get both in your arsenal!
This ball is best used for very dry lane conditions or older surfaces. This ball strikes a ton and is a steal for the price point that it is at! Get yours at your local Storm VIP Pro Shop!

This ball is absolutely amazing. I could not wait to get it drilled and throw it. This ball is smooth, goes long, and pop on the backend. I am able to play the lanes straighter on the fresh house shot. When using the Electrify Hybrid for my video, I was on a fresh house shot. I was able to start further right with my feet than I am usually able to on the house shot. Even at one point I have to move my feet another board or two to the right and my eyes one right so I could get the ball out the dry. Most night or even in tournaments when the lanes start to transition, I usually move my feet left and ball up to kick the corners because of my low rev rate and ball speed. The Electrify Hybrid is just what I need in my arsenal when I am looking for a ball to ball down to when the lanes start to dry out. This ball is going to round out my arsenal nicely when I need a ball for lighter oil.

Overall, I cannot wait to throw this ball more and use it during league in the fall. I am also looking for ward to using this ball in tournaments. This will definitely be a ball I take with me to tournaments for when the lanes get dry. The Electrify Hybrid is gonna be a great addition to my arsenal.

For those lighter oil conditions we have 2 options in the Electrify series, Hybrid and Pearl. We see the Reactor cover matched with the new Circuit core which will provide bowlers a go-to option for when the lanes are hooking significantly and cleanliness and control is what’s required.

If you’re looking for something a little bit early go with the Hybrid and the reverse if you’re looking for more angle go with the pearl. This is going to be a great piece in 2 different environments for me. I can see myself using this after a long block of games and a weaker core cover combination is needed and potentially early in blocks in those houses where the fronts hook super early and you need a ball to clear the fronts and still maintain control off the back end.

The new Electrify Series covers a gap that the Match Up Series couldn't quite accomplish.  What I love about this ball is the new Circuit Core because it isn't as tall as traditional lower end balls.  The RG of 2.51 (#15) is much lower than the 2.57 in the Match Up series which allows the Electrify Hybrid to read the midlane stronger as well as sooner to give better performance on a little more oil than accustomed in the "Hot" line.  This ball works exactly as I intended it to.  The pin down drilling I put on it allows me to use this ball more on shorter oil or lower volumes of oil without having to make me cover too many boards.  This ball is also a great step up from the Pitch Black/Purple when the traditional urethane shape is too slow off the end of the pattern.  The colors of this ball really have great shelf appeal as well and a great ball for competitive, new bowlers and league bowlers where the amount of oil is lower.

The Electrify Hybrid along with the Pearl is a rework of the Hot line, replacing the Match Up’s.  The Electrify’s go the way of Roto Grip’s Hustles, with a lower RG, lower differential core, much in the vein of the IQ line.  The Electrify Hybrid for me is actually a bit weaker and longer down the lane than the Pearl, but has a cleaner and more decisive move on the backend.  The Pearl is a rounder shape more like the IQ Emerald, and while the Hybrid isn’t exactly sharp, it’s a very crisp and readable look.  The Hybrid for me is better from straighter angles, while the Pearl is better from deeper angles, but these two will get a lot of use from me in situations where I need or want an IQ Tour type look, but the IQ’s are too strong.

Review:
The new Electrify Hybrid is a nice looking and nice rolling ball. I have been a fan of the Match Up line so I was hoping the new Electrify balls would be a worthy replacement.  The balls have taken that spot over well but seem to shape a bit different to me. I feel the Electrify Balls read a bit earlier than the Match Ups but have a more controlled back end motion. Even though the Electrify Hybrid and Pearl have the same finish, cover and core they are completely different balls for me. The Hybrid reads earlier and seems to roll heavier resulting in a 3/ 3 move to my left when using the Hybrid. I was able to carry light hits very well as shown in the video review. The ball revs easily, but saves power for backend and a nice hit. I have used this ball in a few houses now and it was a good choice when the Phase 3 was too much. It seems to be easy to find a line to the pocket with the Electrify Hybrid. I have drilled a few of these for our bowlers and the no thumb bowlers and house shot bunch likes what they see. The Electrify Hybrid is a nice rolling, forgiving ball. This will be a good ball for a tournament arsenal as the lanes break down.

Summary:
The Electrify Hybrid works well on all but very oily conditions.
The color and look of the ball is very nice.
The Electrify Hybrid is forgiving and predictable.

I drilled this ball with the intention of filling a gap between my long time tournament favorites the Match Up Pearl and the All Road. I always have a hard time controlling the back end on shorter patterns and this combination has helped tremendously. Cleaner through the fronts just like my Match Up and All Road but the difference for me is the combo of the layout with this cover stock and core. The reactor cover stock and circuit core are showing me great response through the pins in tournament play while not burning up on the corner pins.
