The Summit has a low RG value of 2.46 a medium differential of 0.056 making it the strongest symmetric ball to date from Storm.
Starting on the inside, the Centripetal HD weight block is surrounded by the ALL-NEW A.I. (Amplified Inertia) outer core. This new combination drives the RG down and the differential up ensuring this ball spins up fast.
Paired with the TX-23 Hybrid Cover, the Summit provides enhanced oil absorption for even better grip on those slick conditions. Which in turn gives you the bowler the ability to open up the lanes more
I did a ball comparison to the 900 Global Zen Master, Storm Absolute and the 900 Global Reality Check at 42 ft house shot, 25 ml of oil.  The layout chosen 35 x 4 3/4 x 15.
In comparison to the 900 Global Zen Master, the Summit starts up quicker and is more aggressive off the spot verses the Zen Master that’s a pinch cleaner and more rounded off the spot. Through the shots you will see how the Summit and the Zen Master are very similar even going 5 and 3 left they both keep up with each other. It wasn’t until I went deep inside where the Summit out hooked the Zen Master.
In comparison to the Storm Absolute, The Summit starts up quicker and overall hooks way more.  The Absolute has a R2S Deep Hybrid cover with a similar RG of 2.48 verses a 2.46 of the Summit and a lower differential of 0.050 verses a 0.056 so in retrospect of numbers the Absolute should hook more but the TX-23 cover is a lot higher on the strength scale verses R2S an in turn hooks more.
In comparison to the 900 Global Reality Check, the Summit also starts up quicker and stronger off the spot.  The Reality Check is a much cleaner option even being an asymmetric ball with a more rounder shape verses the Summit with a more sharper shape that climbs the hill much stronger on the heavier conditions.
As per the surface adjustments, the Summit at box surface is 3000 grit which will be strong a continuous and round off the spot
At 2,000 Polish the ball will go a little longer and sharper off the spot
In the bag, will be the Reality, Eternity, Summit, Dark Code, IQ Ruby

Comments
The New Summit from Storm has the Centripetal Core with the TX-23 cover which gives you a lot of power down lane. I’ve been a big fan of the Phaze 2. Comparing these 2 were hard but I see a lot of similarities and subtle differences. The Summit stores more energy down lane with its Hybrid Coverstock while the Phaze 2 is earlier and smoother. As the Summit has been released, I haven’t had the chance to throw the Phaze 2 as to how good the Summit is. If you’re in the market for a high end ball, this is the BEST pick!!

Hey everyone, I'm back with another ball review, and this time it's for the Storm Summit!

In 15 pounds this ball is wrapped in the TX-23 Hybrid Coverstock and comes with 3000 abaron and an RG of 2.46, Diff of .056.

So what do we have here…. This ball is the strongest symmetric to date and has been compared to a stronger Phaze 2 and what a compliment that is. Now that I have thrown this ball I have found it very strong and as I have said in other reviews being more speed than rev dominant I have found this ball to look best going straight down the track. I have thrown it against the 900 Global Zen Gold Label and had to move right as the Zen GL is a shiny pearl with React Gloss. I see this ball being great on the fresh and after some lane shine can be the ball you can bowl all three games of league with.

The Summit might be the strongest symmetrical ball we’ve ever produced. The Centripetal HD Core and the TX-23 Hybrid Cover gets plenty on traction on higher volume patterns but I was almost able to more left easier with this one than normally. Strong balls with surface usually stop or roll out for me when I move but as long as I closed my angles when I moved left this ball didn’t do that. It’s good on a variety of patterns, sport and house!

Announcing Storm’s strongest symmetric ball to date.
Featuring the Centripetal HD weight block is surrounded by the ALL-NEW A.I. (Amplified Inertia) outer core which lowers the RG down and raises the Diff up ensuring maximum flare potential.

Paired with the TX-23 Hybrid Cover, a cover derived from the TR16 solid on the PhazeII it is a significantly stronger dig in the oil on heavier THS or longer sport.

My layout is:
5 1/4 x 5 3/8 x 1 3/8
Revrate: 325 AT: 16

The Summit for me was very slow. It looks like my Gem rolling down the lanes, only its symmetrical. Depending on what the lane is giving me, I was able to start a session playing the track area. Carry was above average along this line but as the lanes transitioned, my moves left to find the right amount of head oil allowed me to achieve optimum entry angle. I did want to keep my speed up as slower deliveries quickly read the friction.

The Summit can hold its own against any big asym depending on the need. If you have issues matching up with big asymmetrical balls, then this ball should be in your arsenal. For the one ball, one league THB is a must.

My Summit fits between my 900G Reality and RG TNT. Same shapes with different rolls. I say use the Summit when you want a ball stronger than the TNT and slower response than your big asymmetrical.

The all new Storm Summit is Storm’s strongest symmetric piece to date, comparable to the Roto Grip TNT. Compared to the TNT, however, I believe that the Summit will be the most user friendly for a variety of players. For me this ball feels a lot more like the Storm Axiom, a ball that was very strong, and versatile both in lane play and on a variety of patterns. For me this ball allows me to move farther left without sacrificing carry compared to the TNT which tends to bog down when I get too far left. The Summit would be a ball that I take out of the bag first on longer/high volume patterns. I tend to like symmetric cores more than asymmetric ones so this ball will fit a spot in my bag that I was missing. I am extremely excited to see what this ball can do moving forward, go out and get yours today!

 COMMENTS
I use this on Med to Heavy oil conditions. I am always a fan of the hybrid covers. they seem to give me the ball reaction that fits my eye. That gives me confidence to make better shots. I get a very consistent strong reaction with the Summit.
