Curelyon with SUPERFLECK reactive coverstock; Weight Block: Four-piece multi-density core with FE2 technology; Color: Black with Red Fleck;  Finish: Wet-sanded 400 grit and factory polished 1,500 grit;  D-Scale: 76-78;  Weights:10-16 lbs.;  Logos: Meteor Flash, Eye of the STORM and Flying “S”.

This ball is further evidence that the manufacturers have got the mix right in their budget/mid range reactives.  ONe of these drilled for one of our junior leaguers (14yrs old, 13lb, label drill, pin at 1.30) completely outperformed a Bullwhip that he had previously used.  Pearlised sparkle coverstock (Curleyon 2)  again creates a clean skid through dry heads and has plenty left for the turn in the back.  What can I say, yet another performance bargain that many of the circuit players love to use, especially some of the heavier hands.

Have just started throwing the Meteor Flash so I will follow up with more later.

First time I used the ball was on fresh backends which basically means it was going to skid and snap no matter what if it was made of resin. So I am not sure about this ball's fundamental character just yet.

However... a very surprising thing happened...

I was actually able to control the hard left snap and turned in a very respectable (for me) 247 game right out of the box. (Blew a 2 pin spare of all things, the ball skidded forever in the oil without wrinkling)

My teammates picked up my slack with a 279 and a 289 for a nice 815 scratch 3 man game. So, do I thank Storm or yell at them? I'm not sure ;-)

This ball's hit is definitely nice and crisp and it covers a lot of boards once it hits dry, but after we moved to a heavily oiled shot I had to put the Meteor Flash away. This ball just plain floats on oil in factory condition.

I will post more after I get a chance to use this ball some more. It was mid priced ball of the year so I am sure I will find some uses for it, but I definitely haven't seen it act in an arching fashion yet. Maybe that will change on carrydown.

yes i bought a meteor flash and i drilled it to max hook, but i forgot the drill specifications but i was bowling at "interstate lanes" in rossford, oh and i stand in my usual spot that is "second to last dot on the right side" . im a lefty. so wheni through it i couldnt keep it in the left pocket side and kept hitting the 3 pin. so i moved 7 boards  right of the last dot and through it 4th arrow out to the 3rd and it can back GREAT!, so i am staying there.  if u are thinking about buying this ball i think it is a good ball and if u cant handle it all u have to do is move where ever u want to hit ur mark. it is a great ball and it hits the pocket hard and doesnt leave alot  of splits(that my opinion)

I've had this ball for several years and have bowled many games
with it.  It is the ball of choice for drier heads with some oil down the middle.  Gets cleanly through the front part of the lane and has more length than any ball I have thrown.  Doesn't react at all until it hits the dry back end and is the most angular ball I have seen.  If you are fighting oil,
don't even think of using this ball.  Keep it polished and it is the best I have seen for playing the down-and-in shot.  This is never my first ball out, but I am never without it.  Great situational ball.
