The Storm Street Fight has a larger than normal core with the Iron Cross weight block. This core creates greater energy transmission through the pins because it is able to store more energy and bust through the pin deck. This bowling ball introduces the R4S Pearl Reactive coverstock. The technology in this cover was created to match the level of technology in the core. This ball is ready to not just fight, but Street Fight!

Storm Street Fight Review by Casey Murphy
« Reply #1 on: October 14, 2016, 10:53:52 AM »
Orientation:  Right Handed
Rev Rate:  375 RPM
Speed:  16-17 MPH
PAP:  4 5/8 straight across

Location:  Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO
Pattern:  High Volume THS
Layout:  40, 4 ¾   , 70 w/p2 hole

The Street Fight is the latest in the Fight series.  It’s a touch weaker than the original Fight, which makes it perfect.  I felt like the original Fight had too strong of a cover.  The Street Fight solves that problem.  It clears the fronts easily, backends a bunch and has unbelievable continuation.  It’s the perfect ball for those that might not have a lot of ball speed or for those who need a ball that will backend and keep going.

LANE CONDITION

Length: Various Lengths

Volume: medium

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): Sport and THS


The Street Fight is the perfect complement in the Thunder Line Up.  The combination of the Iron Cross weight block and the R4S Pearl reactive coverstock is clean through the heads with a devastating backend motion.  The layout that I used for the Street Fight is pin over the bridge with the cg in the palm.  Dual angle numbers are roughly 90 X 5 ½ X 45 off my axis point which is 5 5/8 over and ¾ up.  I am right handed with medium ball speed and my rev rate is around 300.  The available patterns that I was able to throw the Street Fight, Fight and the HyRoad Pearl on was the House Pattern and a flat 40 foot pattern.  The first noticeable difference was how clean and effortless the Street Fight gets down the lane compared to the HyRoad Pearl and the Fight (obviously).  The HyRoad Pearl wanted to pick up earlier and was more drastic at the break point.  This made lining up on the house pattern interesting because I like to throw the ball straighter.  The HyRoad Pearl was just either too much when I missed right or not enough if I missed left.  The Street Fight on the other hand was perfect on playing up the lane in the friction.  When the carry down occurred and the heads went, the Street Fight was strong enough to make the turn and had plenty of length!  The Street Fight was slightly too much or not enough on the flatter pattern early.  The HyRoad Pearl was a touch better because it wanted to start up faster and was stronger in the mid lane.  The best ball motion on the flatter pattern was the Fight early on.  It provided enough length with a dependable backend motion.  As the session went along the Fight started to hook earlier and earlier…  The Street Fight was the ball to go to because it was effortless to the break point with a strong continuous backend that continued off the pin deck.  The Street Fight is a very readable but strong pearl bowling ball that will complement any of the stronger solid bowling balls in the Thunder or Master line.

Likes:  Decent length with a strong recovery

Dislikes:

Storm Fight
Layout: 4 x 4 x 3 ½
Coverstock: 3000 grit
Lane conditions: 42 ft. house pattern with 2015 Flex with Fire and Ice conditioner
Test results:
Oh Boy! First off, when you open the box the first time the smell and look is awesome. It reminding me of my Roto Grip Odyssey back in 2007. Now for the actual testing. I found this ball to keep energy down lane that any other dull coverstock ball I have used in recent history. It did not read early on the front to mid part of the lanes on the burn and did not hook early off of the pattern on fresh. The core definitely help the ball get down the lane better and farther before it peeled off of the pattern. This ball is excellent on harder density lane panel, and handles the more modern conditioners out there. Thus, I have turn this ball into my benchmark Storm ball for newer lane panels that several local bowling centers have installed over the past few years.

I'll start by saying that this ball is not exactly in my wheel house. I'm not a superstar out on the lanes and i drill them better than I toss them. With that in mind it was a bit tough for me to match up on our house shot with the Streetfight. I roll it a bit fast with lower than average axis rotation, so I had to thread a needle to hit the pocket...We are going 45 feet with a high viscosity conditioner, this is not the ideal environment for this ball and me to be friends. I am certain on a different pattern and another set of hands this ball would be excellent. What is funny to me is that I've had a bunch of great games with it, but it's just not comfortable for ME to use. I've drilled a few for my customers and everyone had positive feedback. I'm curious to see how people respond to it during our Match Maker Event. Thanks for reading, until next time! #stormnation #bowlupastorm

COMMENTS

The new Street Fight from Storm is a pearlized follow up to the original Fight. The simply massive Iron Cross core returns but is now wrapped in the brand spankin new R4S pearl shell. This new iteration of the hugely popular Reactor cover that's been seen in great Storm balls throughout the years really blurs the line between mid range and high end reaction. Match that with the 3000 grit surface that comes from the factory and you get a unique result: a symmetric ball that gives you the length and snap of a pearl with the easy revving mid lane read of a solid. Out of the box, this ball flat out HOOKED down lane! I was astonished as I kept moving further and further left and had to keep reminding myself that this was a Thunder Line ball. The amount of friction built into the RS4 cover is excellent and the Street Fight had no problem recovering from even the steepest of angles. I'm also a big believer in a 3000 or 4000 grit pearl because with todays over/under house shots it's not uncommon to see the ball simply skid way too much on shots pulled inside of target. Overall, I was very impressed with just how strong this ball turned at the end of the pattern. The Iron Cross core gives the ball just the right amount of skid and is an absolute beast in the pins. The amount of energy transferred to the pocket is crazy. Get use to knocking pins around everywhere cuz the gloves are off with the new Street Fight.

BALL SPECS:
4.5X2.5X3.75 from a dual angle aspect 90X4.5X70.

My PAP is 4.5 over and 1 inch up. This placed the pin under the middle finger and the CG 3 inches over from the center line. My first use was on the 2016 USBC team pattern, this ball did not come into play until the last 2 games of an 8 gamer. It skidded through the front and mids and was a beast on the burn of the backend. When it hit the pins there was no lose of energy through the pins. This ball also has come in handy on a second shift burn league. If you liked the first Fight this is a must have to ball down too.

  The Street Fight is the new addition to the Master Line from Storm.  It is the pearl version of the original Fight.  I thought the Fight okay but it sometimes acted like the cover was too strong for the cover/core combo. Well the Street Fight with the pearl cover did the trick.  Much cleaner through the fronts, and still keeping the same controlled rolling motion.   Thus is is a lot more predictable and stronger on the backend.  The cover takes surface adjustments really well.  I have used it with 1000 grit and all the way up to Shine.  A great addition to the Storm Family.

Drilling - 4 x 5 x 2 1/2
PAP- 3 up 1 1/2
Speed - 16-17
Tilt - 17
Right handed

I drilled up the new Storm Street Fight. The layout I used was 15x55x5 this pattern rolls pretty early but really kicks on the back end. Compared to the Fight this ball is much longer and sharper change of direction. This ball is a great addition to the Thunder line and a great ball for the value.

Right Handed
Ball weight:  15
Rev Rate:  400
Ball Speed:  17.3
Axis Tilt:  7
Axis Rotation:  45*
PAP:  3 3/4 horizontal, 7/8 up
Layout:  60 x 4 ½ x 40

I really like the Street Fight!  For a pearl, it’s really smooth and continuous. 

This core is great.  I’ve always been a fan of bigger cores and there aren’t many that are larger than this one.  It sounds so good when rolling though the pocket.

I’m finding the Street Fight is a bit earlier than my Fight with the same layout; however, this could be to the number of games I’ve put on the Fight.  The Street Fight is really good on blended house patterns that taper towards the outside and at the end of the pattern. 

I’m looking forward to trying it on some medium sport patterns, just to see how it reads the end of the pattern.  I’m hoping that it’s a smooth as it is on the THS.

This one has become a staple in my league bag and hope that it fits in my tournament bag as well.

Storm Street Fight Ball Review by PJ Haggerty

After drilling the Original Fight and having some success with it, I was excited to hear Storm was coming out with a pearl version of the Fight, called the Street Fight.  With a RG of 2.62 and Diff of .43, the Street Fight is made to be clean and have a quicker response time down lane.  Out of the box, the surface is at 3000, but I’ve had some success bringing that down closer to 2000 to smooth out that response time.

I’ve drilled one Street Fight so far and it’s mapped out as: 5 x 4 ½ with no weight hole needed.  When I layout a ball as such, I’m typically looking for a bit more length and expecting a faster response time.  By drilling the Street Fight like that, I’ve used this ball the most when the lanes have gone through transition, I need length, and some pop down lane.  By adjusting the surface down to 2000, I was able to create a bit of a smoother motion, but because the cover is pearl, it still flies through the front of the lane.

If you are missing a clean, pearl piece that will provide a quicker response time, the Street Fight should be the next ball you drill!

Storm Street Fight
Layout: pin above the bridge cg out to the right 1.5 inches.  Oob condition
Lane conditions: 40 ft ths, hpl

In this ball I wanted something that I could use when the lanes started to break down some and when I started the losing the heads. With this layout and my ball speed it allows me to get the ball down the lane while retaining energy allowing a strong backend motion to the pocket. I am thoroughly impressed with this piece, it is a must have when your bowling on a lighter volume of oil. The shelf appeal for this ball is great being a purple/ white combo with a blackberry fragrance. This ball is available now. Go see you local pro shop operator today, you won't be disappointed.

The Street Fight is the latest ball in the Fight series.  It’s a overall a little weaker than the original Fight, which makes it perfect ball down from it.  The original Fight, in my opinion, had too strong of a cover.  The Street Fight is not the case and solves that problem.  It clears the fronts, backends a bunch and has strong continuation.  It’s the perfect ball for those that might not have a lot of ball speed or for those who need a ball that will backend and keep going.

The Street Fight is a pearl version of the Fight, and is the latest entry into the Thunder line.  I could talk for days about this ball.  The original Fight was a very situational ball, it was great in certain circumstances, but there were better choices in others.  I had expected a pearl version of it to be in the same vein, but have been pleasantly stunned to find a ball that is atypical of releases now, being that it doesn't bounce or jump off friction.  It has a very smooth but consistent read off the dry, and blends wet/dry lines exceptionally.  It's great for controlling sharper backends, to switch to when the track starts drying out or is a great control option for when the lanes get really spotty or dry in longer format tournaments.  I feel that it will work best for heavier rev rates, but the low rev stroker that points it from the corner should also appreciate it as a ball that gives them both hook and control.

The Street Fight is the newest release in the Fight family for Storm. The original Fight was a great ball for medium flatter patterns. The Street Fight features the same gigantic Iron Cross core, but is wrapped in the all-new R4S pearl Cover.

I drilled my Street Fight with the pin below my ring finger and a low P3 weight hole. I wanted the big Iron Cross core to get rolling quickly since I am a little on the speed-dominant side. The first thing I noticed is that the new R4S pearl cover is very clean. I had to hit the surface with 2,000 grit Abralon pad in order to get the ball to pick up in the right part of the lane. It comes out of box at 3,000 grit sheen, so 2,000 isn’t really that drastic of a change.

I see this being great for me either on short oil patterns or for when the head oil gets chewed up and I need something to get through the fronts. Those of you out there with very high rev rates or slower speed might even use this as your benchmark ball, but with my speed and tilt this is definitely a late-in-the-block ball for me.
