Incite Hybrid
« on: March 04, 2021, 10:46:49 AM »
Are you ready to incite some competition! Storm presents the Incite Hybrid upper-mid performance bowling ball. This ball introduces a unique core in the Tensor Core. This core is considered slightly asymmetric which provides the same reaction as a flare-increasing balance hole. Storm has covered this bowling ball in the R4S Hybrid coverstock making it a great medium between Storm's Thunder line of balls and their high-performance Premier line of balls and makes this ball ideal for medium to heavy oil conditions.

Color: Goldenrod/Graphite/Crimson
All colors do vary somewhat from the picture shown
Coverstock: R4S Hybrid Reactive
Core: Tensor Core (14-16)
Fragrance: Cherry Vanilla
Finish: 3000-grit Abralon
RG: 2.50 (15# ball)
Differential: 0.053 (15# ball)
Recommended Lane Condition: Medium-Heavy Oil
Hook Potential: High
Length: Middle

The Incite from Storm, the Bowler’s Company, has an all new weight block called the Tensor Core, and uses the R4S Hybrid coverstock. The Tensor Core has an Rg of 2.50, a differential of 0.053, and an Intermediate differential of 0.013 in 15lb bowling balls. The color combination of goldenrod, graphite, and crimson with silver labels really pops on the shelf. The cover is finished from the factory with a 3000 grit abralon finish. The Tensor core is a mildly asymmetrical weight block that is to emulate a symmetrical ball, with a balance hole.

I drilled the Incite using a 4.5 X 3 X 4 layout. This layout, for me, helps to promote ease through the front of the lane, with a solid, strong  continuous motion through the backend and through the pins. The Incite provides ample traction in the midlane with the box finish, but does smooth out a bit over time with usage. A freshening up with a new abralon pad brings back the solid midlane traction that the R4S Hybrid coverstock provides. I like to use my Incite when my Axiom with the same pin placement starts to get a little lazy around the corner because of oil carry-down on medium to higher volume patterns. The Axiom is perfect when the backends are fresh and I need a slower continuous motion through the pins, but as the lane goes through transition, the Incite is the ball to go to because it has a more defined motion off the spot and gives me better angle than what the Axiom provides. The Incite is also a great ball down from my Proton Physixs with 4.5 X 2 X 4 layout. When the Proton gets too angular, but I still need a defined motion, I can drop down to the Incite and get more length and have less angle through the pins.

I really like the Incite. The Incite is a ball that has a decent amount of pattern coverage, and the coverstock takes changes well. Stop by your local Storm VIP pro shop, and drill an Incite today. Bowl up a Storm!

Storm Incite

Coverstock: R4S Hybrid Reactive

Core: Tensor

The Storm Incite brings a new core, the Tensor Core, to the lineup.

This core/cover combo brings a different reaction that I see in my current arsenal.

I see the Incite being a good compliment to my Roto Grip RST X-1.

For me, the Incite starts to read earlier and smoother than my RST. Incite is a little weaker overall (comparing to the RST) too.

When the RST is going too long or I need to adjust my angle, the Incite will be an easy ball to switch to.

The Incite is another piece that shows how Storm is doing a great job filling arsenal gaps without too much overlap across the 3 brands (Storm, Roto Grip, 900 Global).
