The INCITE is stronger than I initially thought, which makes it better on higher volumes and longer patterns. I will use this ball right after the Reality or Rubicon, but before I pull out the Phaze 2 or Nuclear Cell. The INCITE really picks up mid lane and continues strong through the pins. When I compared it to the Nuclear Cell in my ball review, it picked up several feet sooner and gave me a smoother rounder motion. I think polishing the INCITE would help in some instances, like bowling on house shots or modified house shots. I really like the color combination and the scent of this ball as well. I can’t wait to throw this ball more and learn more about what it’s able to do.

I drilled my INCITE up 65 x 4.5 x 30. I have thrown it at box finish which is 3000 and also hit it with a 2000 pad. The 2000 surface seems to liven up the ball for me so I try to touch it up every 6-10 games.

The intent was more out of curiosity. This is a new cover and new core design so I didn't know what to expect compared to other releases. The numbers spec out as a lower rg/higher diff but lower intermediate diff. Storm Products has been putting out lower intermediate diff balls with different core shapes to promote a motion like a ball with a weight hole in it. Balls with weight holes for me were usually smoother and earlier in motion.

The INCITE is a good ball for my game. I can throw it when the big covers are too early or slowing down like my PROTON PHYSIX or RG UFO and the shinier hybrids like my IDOL SYNERGY are not getting thru the pin deck strongly. Compared to the RST-X1, the INCITE is smoother for me and could be a ball down if I take the cover on X1 down to 1000. With this progression, the INCITE would float thru the heads when the X1 is starting to straighten up or get too slow.

The new Storm Incite features the Tensor Core wrapped around the R4S Hybrid Cover. I drilled my Incite with the pin above the bridge with the MB kicked. It's about 3.5 inches from my PAP.

This ball was more aggressive out of the box than I thought it would be, and it really compliments the Proton Physix very well. The Proton is extremely early, where as the Incite goes a little longer and reads the mids with a continuous hook.

If you're a fan of hybrids youll want to check this ball out! It will compliment any big solid or big pearl ball in your bag!

The new Storm Incite is another strong addition in the master line. The tensor core powers the incite by creating very strong mid-lane roll. The sanded finish of the r4s hybrid gives the ball just enough teeth to start hooking in the oil but still allows the ball to retain energy.

I tested the incite on kegel's beaten path pattern to be sure I had enough oil up front. Even with the extra head oil, (compared to the normal houseshot) the incite was very aggressive in the mid-lane for me. I feel like this ball will be very popular for guys with more speed who want to be sure the ball doesn't miss the spot. I had to make an adjustment about a zone left of where I normally play on a fresh shot so it was definitely a strong motion and overall hook.

When I moved in and went around the lane I was happy to see that the ball still continued well. With such a predictable move in the mids I always worry about a ball slowing down too much when trying to cover boards. Even with my lower ball speed the incite kept coming around and I really liked it when I stayed in and closed the angle a bit. This is helpful when I'm battling wet/dry in our house as the move left sometimes doesn't help enough with how hard some balls come off the try. The Incite was perfect for playing this line which makes me think I'll like it on longer patterns.

I would recommend that bowlers with lower ball speed like mine, or for bowling on drier house shots, change the surface up a bit. The hybrid r4s responds well to those changes creating much more downlane shape when polished or the finish being brought up.

Storm Incite Ball Review by PJ Haggerty

The newest addition to the Master line at Storm is the Incite and, wow, it’s impressive!  The masterminds at Storm decided to marry a symmetrical and asymmetrical core along wrapped in a hybrid coverstock, the Incite is an excellent addition to the line.  The RG comes in at 2.50 and differential of .053, it’s been a great compliment to the Proton Physix, RST X-1, and Rubicon UC-2. 

I’ve drilled one Incite so far and really like it.  I mapped it out as 5.5 x 4.5 x 80.  This puts the pin above my middle finger and the mass bias just to the right of my thumb.  I’ve left the surface alone @ 3000 and it’s experienced some lane shine.  I’ve had the most success when urethane has been thrown, the lanes feel “tight” down lane, and it’s tough to get balls to go through the pins the right way.  I believe because of the combination of a hybrid cover and asymmetrical core, the Incite still runs over the 8 pin! 

With Urethane being such a big part of today’s game, the Incite is a perfect ball to use once Urethane starts to bog down or not go through the pins correctly.  Go drill one!  #StormNation

The storm incite is a ball that I will have in my league bag and my tournament bag. I only usually throw balls that I feel comfortable with I don’t tend to fight we ball to long. The Incite gave me some good vibes and I got confident with it right away.
It actually really reminds me of the Storm Lock I still have a lock so I compared them and I do get old lock feels with the incite. I would say the incite just goes through the pins a little better.
This ball really helps bridge the gap between symmetric and asymmetric for sure. With the new rule of no weight holes these companies will have to try and make up for that with the Cores.
Storm really did that with this ball it have some symmetrical vibes with the nice continuous shape.

The new Storm Incite combines a concept rarely seen with a new-to-us cover formula and some fantastic looks on-lane! The Tensor core brings some concepts from the old Tri-Sphere core in the Optimus series, but honed and refined and in an asymmetrical package with a lower intermediate differential. This combined with the new-to-the-US R4S Hybrid Reactive cover sanded to 3000 grit means that the Incite does a very good job of bridging between true symmetrical pieces like the Axiom and Phaze II and big sanded asyms like the Proton PhysiX or UFO. Asymmetric tunability combined with symmetric continuation and control, wrapped in a responsive coverstock that still creates some traction in oil... what's not to like?
