The Electrify pearl is the latest release from Storm in the Hot line of bowling balls. The Hot line from Storm has been a staple of the industry, offering bowlers bowling balls with very good performance, on a budget. The Pearl Electrify comes from the factory with a 1500 grit finish, and uses the all new Circuit Core which has an Rg of 2.51 and diff of 0.030 in 15lb weights. The color combination of sky/amethyst/fuschia is sure to get noticed on the ball return. The pearl Electrify also has a scent of frosted cake.
I drilled the pearl Electrify with a 5†pin and 4.5†pin buffer. I went with this layout to give me plenty of length with a long transition phase of backend motion. When comparing the pearl to my 4 X 3 hybrid version, the pearl has the flare rings much closer together, and goes longer before making its motion into the hook phase. The Pearl Electrify rolls really well when bumping the dry boards of a house shot. With this layout and the 1500 grit factory finish, the Pearl is best suited for medium low to lower volumes of oil. The Electrify pearl will also be good for those long format tournaments that have right handers getting super deep, and I need a ball that will float through their dry heads but still have some recovery at the backend of the lane. The Electrify pearl is a bit more snappy on the backend than the hybrid version. This ball is best when playing the dry boards.
The Electrify pearl is a brightly colored ball that will get used at the right time, and on the right conditions. It won’t be the first ball out of the bag for me because I don’t see true dry lanes all that often, but will be very good when the time is right to use it. Using a medium to stronger layout on the Electrify pearl will give bowlers on a budget a nice looking ball, with good change of direction. Thank you for reading my review of the Electrify Pearl from Storm. Bowl up a Storm!
