The Storm Phaze III has the attributes of both an innovative core and coverstock technology. The fast-revving shape of the Velocity Core evens out the backend reaction without causing over-reaction. The low RG and high differential coverstock make this benchmark ball a go to for a variety of bowling styles and oil patterns. The R3S Hybrid coverstock does a good job of blending the transitions on the lanes on medium oil conditions.

The Phaze III is the latest Master Line release from Storm. This version uses the R3S Hybrid cover, which we first saw on the Intense Fire from last year. The Phaze III has great shelf appeal with the combination of Obsidian, Jade, and Orchid. The Phaze III uses the same core as the two previous releases called Velocity. This core has a low Rg of 2.48 and a differential of 0.051 in 15lbs.

I drilled my Phaze III with a 4.5” pin, and a 2.5” pin buffer. The Phaze III with the out of the box finish of 1500 polish, is very clean to the spot, with a strong backend move. Compared to a Phaze II with a 4” pin and 2.5” pin buffer, the III takes much longer to slow down, and is sharper off the spot. I used a grey scotch brite pad to break in the surface and get the III to slow down a little more. Surprisingly, even with more surface, this didn’t really take anything away from the backends, but did make the III much more manageable through the front of the lane. The added surface allowed me to keep the ball on line better, and not over squirt through the front of the lane. The Phaze III will be useful on lane conditions that are a bit more blended left to right, as the strong move at the breakpoint could get unpredictable on very wet dry patterns. This will be a useful ball for players that need to chase a pattern in, but still need a strong core to help the ball spin up quickly.

The Phaze III is different enough from the II to have both balls in a bowlers bag. The two compliment each other very well, with the III being better suited for medium conditions. Thank you for taking the time to read my review of the Phaze III from Storm.

Hello Everyone,today I like to do a ball review on the storm phase 3.I wasn't a really big fan of the first phase that came out,so I was hoping when I heard storm was releasing a new home I was hoping for this one to be way better then the first,as this ball was being released I was hearing a lot about this ball and seemed to be a lot of hype as well even before its release date.When I saw the pics of the new look I was empressed with the colours for sure if the ball is going to be that  good it has to look that good as well in my eyes very awesome shelf appeal,grape smell to yummy lol.Its using r3s hybrid cover finished at 1500 polish.When I was throwing this ball I was really like the shape this ball had but for sure something I wouldn't want to use on the fresh,clean sometimes to clean threw the fronts I would go to this ball later in the block for sure,i also hit the shell with light 4000 ab just to brake some polish off to help the ball not over skid the brake point.Really like the motion from this ball lots of backend not to angular but enough to help with recovery down lane for sure.I give this a thumbs up for sure,great ball for a lot of bowlings good job storm.
