The Storm PhysiX has the NRG hybrid cover with the Atomic core. Unless I’m on a ton of volume, asymmetric bowling balls don’t always match up too well for me. The Sure Lock is often too early and I couldn’t find a place for the Code X after loving the Code Black and Code Red. The Intense Fire was quite different. I drilled my Fire 50 x 4.5 x 30. Due to my roll, I still see that “asym stand up†in the mid lane, but I can use it deeper into a set if I have a decent amount of oil.
With all of that said, my home center went back to a tighter 46 foot pattern recently so I decided to punch a PhysiX. I wanted to avoid overlap with the Fire so I went with a 50 x 5.5 x 30 layout. With similar 3000 grit surfaces, I find the PhysiX a couple feet longer than my Fire, but the shape is also quite different. I never have to force the PhysiX down the lane, which makes it feel kind of like it’s not an asym core for me (not because it doesn’t hook a lot). It’s quite amazing. This ball will be in my bag for every tournament and league night for quite some time to come!
I think this ball will fit a variety of styles. I have witnessed a 500 plus rev rate guy fall in love with it just the same as a 300 rev rate, speed dominant player. Give one a try - you won’t be disappointed.
