Likes: What is there not to like about this ball? For me, its in my bag! his ball rolls so good, I'm really happy with it. I never had a Physix, but this ball is black, so I had to give it a try. I was a little worried being 2000 out of the box, but once I threw it, it had a spot in my bag. For me, it reads the mid lane VERY WELL. Then it reads the back end, but it doesn't snap when it hits the dry. It works, say the Virtual Energy Blackout snaps to hard, or the Lightning Blackout doesn't hook enough, This ball is perfect right in the middle, but even more. With the new cover NeX Pearl, to me it feels like it blends the lane, Even works on drier lanes for me and you can move deeper to play the middle of the lane, or play a little straighter when that lanes are oily. I'm very happy with it.

Dislikes: Not sure yet, This cover cleans up very well, I was looking for maybe some lane shine on it? But the cover cleans up very well...So...nothing to dislike about it lol

Ball Reviews:
Physix Blackout:
The Physix Blackout has become one of my favorite balls. It is usable on a variety of conditions and has become the first out the bag on THS in different centers which play entirely different which shows some of the versatility of this ball. The pearl cover with the 2000 finish allows the ball to be clean through the front of the lane yet smooth off the breakpoint and allows plenty of continuation down lane when it is needed most. I have been able to play with my angles closed and opened as well as get a little deeper into game 2 than other asym options that would typically burn up by this point. This ball, also, was good on sport. Bowling on 45' where my angle was closed towards the pocket this ball provided plenty of motion through the pins given the longer distance and higher volume of what I was bowling on. This ball is a must have for the competitive bowler and is another great rendition in the Physix line.
Attention Star S2:
The hybrid version of the Attention line is out with a much more controllable smooth motion compared to its predecessor the Attention Star. The S2 is great for those medium to heavier oil conditions when control is needed. I found this very usable on sport conditions when my angles needed to be closed and I wanted to keep everything in front of me and control to the pocket. This ball is slower responding than the original which allows you to use this on the fresh. When the lanes begin to hook up front and a cleaner reaction is needed you can piggy back onto to the original to continue to allow your ball to angle down lane without sacrificing energy and hitting power at the pins.
Road Warrior:
A new iteration the the popular Road line is back with the Road Warrior. This version is a pearl with the R2S deep cover. It is much slower than the original HyRoad pearl, which makes it more controllable. When you need a cleaner reaction than the stronger asym or symmetrical's the Road Warrior will be a good option to go to. 
Origin:
New core, new cover and tons of power. The Origin is great for those medium to heavier oil conditions. At first, I found the ball a little too clean so I adjusted the surface to 2000 to get it to pick up sooner. The surface adjustment made all the difference in seeing the ball motion I was looking for. I found success on THS when the lanes play tight and I want to play more up the track area. Origin reserved tons of energy as it exited the pattern and continued well through the pins. Also, saw success on sport when my angles needed to slowly open up this ball was strong enough to dig into the deeper part of the lane where oil was still present yet provided strong continuation down lane that didn't sacrifice carry. The Origin will be a good option on on fresh or transition.

The Physix Blackout is Storms newest premier line release. The Physic Blackout features the AI Atomic core wrapped in NEX pearl. Anyone who loved the Proton Physix should be ecstatic as the Physix Blackout is a true pearl version of that ball. The Physix Blackout for me is the perfect ball down from my Harsh Reality and Ion Max. The Physix Blackout has been an awesome game one piece for league as well. The Physic Blackout is now available from any Storm VIP Pro Shop!

The PhysiX Blackout is the latest release in the long line of PhysiX balls, but the first to feature the Atomic AI Core.  I still have a hard time believing the PhysiX Blackout has the NEX pearl coverstock, with it sanded to 2000, it looks just like a solid ball - and behaves much more like a solid than a pearl.  I drilled it up with my new favorite asymmetric layout, 5 x 5 x 4 that puts the pin in my middle finger.  The PhysiX Blackout is extremely smooth and controllable.  I was absolutely shocked to see how well the ball performed through all 3 games of league, something I’ve rarely been able to do with either dull or asymmetric pieces.

Layout: 5 x 5 x 4


My Specs -
Speed - 16 mph,
Rev Rate - 315. 
PAP 5 1/8 x 7/8 Up.

The latest Blackout ball from Storm is the Physix Blackout.  This ball features the Atomic AI core and is wrapped in NEX pearl coverstock finished at 2000 grit abralon.  At 15 pounds the Physix Blackout has a low RG of 2.47 with a differential of .055 and an intermediate differential of .018.  I was a huge fan of the the Physix line so this release was one I was very excited for and the Blackout did not disappoint.  For me the Blackout is in between the original Physix and the Infinite Physix.  The pearl coverstock of the Blackout has a dull finish to it, but it does not slow down the backend motion of this ball.  The Blackout is cleaner than the original but is sooner and more continuous than the Infinite Physix.  The Physix Blackout is a great ball to start the night when the heads are fresh and the lane gives the Blackout enough length on its own.  When the heads start to transition, the Blackout starts to read sooner than I like but I know I can throw this ball with steeper angles and still have it come back and go through the pocket.  This ball is my favorite and most versatile of the three Blackout balls.

The Physix Blackout is the latest addition to the Storm blackout line. This ball uses the NEX pearl cover stock along with the A I technology. Sanded at 2000 out of the box. The Physix for is a very smooth controllable ball. I used the layout of 45x5x35 one of my favorite layouts. Compared to the Virtual Energy Blackout this more of the first ball out of the bag. Pick one of today at your local Storm VIP pro shop near you.

The Storm Physix Blackout is a bold addition to the Physix lineup. From the moment it hits the lane, this ball commands attention with its exceptional hook potential and ability to handle a variety of oil patterns.

The NEX Pearl dull coverstock and the innovative Physix core creates a dynamic motion that’s both strong and consistent, offering a perfect balance of control and power.

My layout of 4 x 4 x 4 VLS pin down PSA slightly past the VAL. Lately I have use this on the big asymmetrical balls in the SPI lineup. It offer me so much control front to back. In my video I compare to a DNA with similiar RG/Diff specs.
You can see the NEX Pearl being much cleaner up front with better backend reaction while the DNA is more midlane read. This is almost the same shape as the Absolute Power for me with just a stronger cover. My Ion Max is 3-4 boards more of hook potential. All are drilled the same and offer a wide range of choices.

What truly stands out about the Storm Physix Blackout is its reliability. Whether you’re playing in heavy oil or medium conditions, this ball delivers a smooth, consistent reaction shot after shot. You can always count on it to provide a solid backend reaction, making it an excellent choice for bowlers who need both precision and adaptability. The durability of the Physix Blackout ensures it will maintain its performance, even after countless games.

The Storm Physix Blackout is a bold, reliable choice for bowlers seeking a ball that offers both power and precision. It’s a true performer that’s ready to tackle any challenge the lane presents.

350-357 RPM 17MPH PAP 4.5 x1/2up. I drilled this with my standard 45x4x45 layout.  This is the first ball out of my bag.  The Physix is smooth off the spot and is continuous through the pins. On my normal house pattern this allows me to play closer to the friction without checking off the dry on misses right. This ball complements my virtual energy blackout as a good 1,2 combo.  I have also thrown this on a 38 foot sport pattern.  With it being smoother off the spot, it worked really well.

The Storm Physix Blackout offers a sharp, angular backend reaction due to its Equalizer™ A.I. Core and NeX™ Pearl Reactive coverstock  making it ideal for medium to oily conditions, where it excels with length and a strong turn at the breakpoint. In comparison, the Storm Virtual Energy Blackout, with its Shape Lock HD Core and ReX Pearl Reactive coverstock, provides a more controlled motion with a focus on versatility and strong mid-lane read, transitioning smoothly into a strong backend, but with a slightly more continuous arc rather than the sharp angularity of the Physix Blackout. Another comparable ball would be the 900 Global Origin, featuring the Ellipse Asymmetrical AI Core and RB 93 Hybrid reactive coverstock, is designed for heavier oil and creates a strong, consistent motion with an emphasis on control and power throughout the entire lane, making it a bit more predictable and less angular than the Physix Blackout. Overall, while the Physix Blackout delivers more backend energy and a sharper motion, both the Virtual Energy Blackout and Origin are more focused on control, smooth transitions, and overall lane versatility.
