This is a nice ball that is strong and a nice roll and strong hit , drill this one with the pin under the ring finger and cg strong ,with this  new cover it digs in and has great hit and with a great price . It is a good match to go with your bigger hooking balls and where you don't give up hitting power that a lot of us like . I will give a up date on more patterns when we get out of town at some other centers , but if you are looking for one to go with that big ball this could be the one you are looking for , at a great price you can't go wrong.

I laid the T-Road Pearl ball out differently than anything else I have. I put the pin in the center of the grip and swung the CG down 45° from my PAP Line. I placed an extra hole 6 3/4" from the pin through the CG. The T-Road Pearl gives me strong arching motion to the pins.

This is really the only ball I have throw in league since I drilled it. It's helped me push my league average to 240. Plus, we bowl on TWISTERS

"Another great ball from Storm!!"

I drilled the pin out in the ring finger with the cg just below that.  This is a clean ball through the front.  It picks up momentum with hard charging through the midlane into the pins without a big change of direction.  Another versatile addition to the Storm family.

The T-Road Pearl has no problem clearing the heads, picks up aggressively in the midlane, and digs into the backend with a sharp, hard hitting arc that leads to unbeliveable hit and carry. The R2S cover is really impressing me with its ability to handle oil and still conserve so much energy for the back. Also, as advertised the ball rolls almost identical to the original Thunder Road Pearl which just makes the legend of the original Thunder series grow. Another excellent release from Storm.

I just bought this ball last night and figured I'd relay some words even though I'm not technically savvy.

I'm not a cranker but I'm not a tweener either, and my driller drilled it to be the longest ball in my bag (I have a Special Agent and Shift).

Lane was med-oil condition and not too burnt on the right side (I'm right handed). There was some carrydown, backends were decent. The ball was very smooth through all sections of the lane and hooked nicely into the pocket.

I'm a 190avg bowler and bowled two games with it; 218 and 204.  Overall, I very much dig this ball. Normally the SA is the 1st ball out of the bag but I see this one competing for the top spot.

Oh yeah, the price of this ball is a bonus!

Last night I started the first night of our sanctioned PBA Experience League. I used my Rico drilled T-Road Pearl on Cheetah pattern. I shot 258, 300, 203 for 761 series. The set could have been huge. I left a blower 7 pin, 3 ringing 10's, and a flush 8-10.

I just can't say how much I like this ball. I have used it on a variety of patterns from house shots, sport patterns, and PBA patterns with great success.

The T-Road is a great ball through the front part of the lane on light oil heads with pin under fingers. Part time PBA Midwest player.

T-Road is a great ball can be used on about anything from house pattern to the Shark pattern.

This weekend during the Eugene/Springfield USBC City tournament I shot games of 286, 257, and 266 for an 809 series during the Singles portion of the tournament.

I have had so much success with this ball it's amazing! The T-Road is by far the most versitle ball I have ever thrown. Based on how the pattern dictates I have played from the gutter to 5th arrow with this ball.

With the success I have had, I have pointed many people towards this ball and they are seeing success as well. One of my team mates shot 300 with his last week.

Bowl up a Storm!!

I bought this ball like 2 months ago and haven't used it much. It is by far the snappiest ball I have ever thrown combined with a longer layout. This ball with my layout of pin in bridge and cg kicked out a bit is good for later in blocks when the heads are starting to go because this ball flies right through them. If you are looking for a ball to be long and very strong then this is the right choice for you.

Drilled this ball stacked with pin above fingers and cg directly in line with pin and OOB finish. My pin to PAP is 5 and 3/8 and Virtual MB to PAP is 5 and 1/4. Cover is 1500 Storm Polish.

This ball rolls nice and smooth. Gives me great length with angular back end reaction. This ball will fit nicely into my arsenal. It goes longer than the Agent but still recovers with a nice hard arc. This ball is not flippy and handles carrydown better than my agent. Overall for the price, this ball would be awesome for any league bowler on medium oil conditions looking for a nice smooth and consistent rolling ball with good carry.

I Just got this ball Playing up the boards The ball goes real long & HARD flip on backend I'm LH. carries the 7pin very well, ball very versital for me. I was into 4th arrow and still Xing at will. I donn't know much about drillings. But my local PBA pro laid it out to go long & flip. Goes real easy throgh the heads. no over/under reaction. No rollout even into 4th arrow Works great off the dry boards. works get in oil (med oil).

Just got this ball this past week. And I cant give a full review till I bowl tonight with it on my house shot that is at my local bowling alley. Well I tell you what on synthetic lanes I liked this ball a lot. This ball is drilled to be the first ball out of my bag to get a read on whats going to happen. I had it drilled to go a little long with a nice smooth arcing back end. I also changed my span a little and my thumb. I went to a mill thumb hole instead of the thumb I used to have which was a round thumb. I was uncomfortable at first not knowing whats going to happen when I throw this ball with my new thumb and when I fiqured it out straight up the boards was beautiful. I was playing straight up to and I was smashing the pocket. i threw a lot of strikes straight up and it wants to drive and left a few 9's in the process. I will finish my review tomorrow after I bowl about 4 games with this tonight. Has of right now this is my first good review on a storm ball in a long time since its my first one I have bought in about 4 years cause I didn't like the Super Charge when I drilled it up.

The Modern Day X-Factor...

Will definitly be my absolute favorite ball for the days to come! Drilled Pin above bridge, CG kicked under ring. Pretty much any way you drill this ball (Except on High/Low Axis) will always give you the smooth breakpoint to the pocket. Another great product from Storm as always.
