The Storm Electrify Solid is the newest release in the Hot Line. The earlier Pearl and Hybrid releases were a big surprise for how much they hooked at the price point. The solid however is definitely my favorite of these balls as I feel it can be used on more volume of oil compared to its earlier counterparts.
The Reactor cover makes this ball give more motion than you would expect from a ball with a .030 Diff. It still has the characteristic even/continuous roll you expect from the circuit core but I personally feel like this ball looks best as a transition ball out of urethane, it should put you in the same area of the lane but create more shape in the area where the urethanes start wanting to over-skid with carry-down.
On the high volume house pattern at my home center i didn't have much hope of a "weak" ball being useful, but the electrify solid lets me play close to the friction on the fresh and create a good defined hook spot for the last couple games, so I'm getting great use out of it on pattern I wouldn't expect to.
