DNA Coil
« on: March 15, 2024, 09:17:05 AM »
Meet the Storm DNA Coil, where the perfect fusion of coverstock and core elevates your game. Designed for versatility, the EXO Pearl coverstock with Reacta Gloss finish offers a clean, brilliant look without sacrificing midlane readability. Paired seamlessly with the Supercoil Core, this bowling ball ensures consistent, controlled reactions. The chemical friction and porosity of EXO Pearl prevent unexpected over/under reactions, providing length with forgiveness. Utilizing the same layout as its predecessor, the DNA Coil delivers early-revving action, evolving into a longer, more angular ball motion as the lanes break down. The Supercoil Core, with strategically placed mass around its equator, lowers the RG, allowing the ball to read the midlane early and fulfill the demands of professionals worldwide for a powerful hook before the end of the pattern.

Orientation:  Right Handed
Rev Rate:  400 RPM
Speed:  16-17 MPH
PAP:  4 ½ over and 1 1/8 up

Location:  Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO
Pattern:  High Volume THS
VLS Layout: 
Layout 1:  4 5/8 x 4 x 2 ½  (pin above bridge)
Layout 2:  4 1/4 x 4 x 4 1/8 (pin below bridge)

The DNA Coil is a new pearl version of the DNA.  It honestly reminds me of the Reality Check more than anything.  It’s cleaner, fast rev’ving and quick without being super quick.  My game doesn’t match up to the SUPER big asym balls so the cleaner more usable asyms actually have a chance to make my regular bag.  There’s a lot of times I need a bigger core to control the midlane and backend and but still need it to get through the fronts.  The Coil is exactly like that, in the spirit of the Exotic and Eternity but in this case, the Coil is cleaner quicker.

LANE CONDITION
Tested:
42' Medium/Heavy THS
League:
42' Medium THS

LAYOUT:
VLS - 4 1/4 x 3 3/4 x 3 3/4
Dual Angle - 40 x 4 1/4 x 63
Reaction: Smoother mid-lane, Hard Arc

Storm's description:
Not every bowler is made the same and not every bowling ball is made the same. As you discover your personal bowling DNA Profile, you can expect this new bowling ball to give you a great read of the mid-lane. If you drilled the original DNA, try the same layout on your DNA Coil and expect the same early-revving action, but with a longer, more angular ball motion we all look for as the lanes start to break down.

My review:
Drilled exactly like my solid which has so much control, The Coil is on steroids. Response to mid-lane friction is quicker and more pronounced but with the same control as the solid.
I played longer in the track area during league (Bolero) which was a surprise due to the high friction league breakdown. Not the same as I tested on(different alley). I was also able to open my angles without given away carry. Typical light hits was above average. I see this ball as a compliment to the solid and ahead of my VEBO.


The Storm DNA Coil is a testament to innovation and performance, precision crafting and engineering instills trust in its reliability frame after frame. The core's dynamic design and weight block configuration creates a powerful angular motion to maximize pin carry.  High versatility of the cover and the ability to match up to various lane conditions is a plus for all styles of bowlers.

Layout: 55 x 4 ½ x 35

The DNA coil is one of the strongest shiny balls that Storm has ever produced.  The amount of midlane traction that this ball has is quite incredible, and it makes it extremely versatile.  Due to the out of box shiny finish, the DNA Coil ignores the heads and works well on medium to medium/dry oil conditions, but it digs in the midlane enough to make it very usable on medium/heavy conditions as well.  The reaction shape is a hard arc; not flippy or unpredictable, but not super smooth either. When the DNA Coil is too much ball for a certain condition, The Road or the Lightning Blackout are perfect compliments.

The Storm DNA Coil seems like the perfect blend of power and finesse, with its EXO Pearl coverstock and Supercoil Core. I'm always on the lookout for equipment that can elevate my game.

The DNA Coil features the same Supercoil core as the original but this time it is wrapped in the EXO pearl reactive coverstock finished with Reacta Gloss.  At 15 pounds the RG is a low 2.47 with a differential of .053 and an intermediate differential of .023.  The DNA was probably the most misunderstood ball Storm released as it was thought to be this big hook monster, when in fact it was a strong controllable ball.  Hopefully the Coil is not overlooked because this ball is special!!  The Coil provides good length but picks up nicely in the midlane for a pearlized ball.  The backend motion is a strong arc, not the skid/flip reaction you may expect from a pearl asymmetric, making this ball very controllable.  The Coil is very versatile and can be used across a wide range of lane conditions as well as many different bowling styles.  This ball has been a house shot killer in my area!  Perfect ball when the solid asymmetric balls are burning up and the symmetricals just aren’t quite strong enough to kick out the corner pins.

 DNA Coil Ball Review
Layout
VLS-5x4x2.5
Dual Angle-50x5x37
Surface-Reacta Gloss
Storm DNA Coil will fit into the storm lineup perfectly.
Storm DNA coil features the same core from the orginal DNA but with the Exo pearl coverstock.
The DNA coil will rev up nicely in the midlane but with a smooth flip on the backend.Its not too angular on the backend and  it will be a good option on those over/under lane conditions.
It will pit perfectly between the absolute power and the virtual energy blackout.
If you feel like you need some shape on the backend and your vitual energy blackout is too angular the coil will be a great option.

Storm DNA Coil Ball Review by PJ Haggerty

I was a huge fan of the original DNA made by Storm and seeing the news that a pearl version was being made, I couldn’t help but have full confidence this addition to the Premier line was going to be a home run.  With the same asymmetrical weight block (Supercoil Core) and wrapped with the EXO pearl reactive coverstock, the goal was to create  a shape that reads the mid-lane extremely consistently and effectively.

I’ve drilled one so far and love it.  It’s mapped out as 5.5 x 5 x 2.  I’ve left the surface alone and have struck a bunch with it.  Often times, it’s one of the first balls out of my bag and I’ve had the most success in the first few games of tournament blocks when the pattern is fresh.  If there’s enough oil on the lane, I’ve been able to stay in it longer (due to the pearl cover) and create a nice left-to-right shape with it.  I think it compliments the Attention Star, Eternity Pi, and Gem extremely well.

If you need an extremely versatile ball with a huge motor and a pearl cover, go drill a DNA Coil!

HAND: LEFT (ONE HANDED)

PAP: 4 3/8 OVER / 1/16 UP

BALL SPEED: 16MPH 

REV RATE: 420

AXIS TILT: 20

AXIS ROTATION: 50 

LAYOUT: 60X5X65 

The DNA COIL features the Super Coil Core paired up with the EXO Pearl coverstock, this ball for me was extremely clean out of the box and had quite a bit torque off the back of the pattern. This ball for me needed to have its surface adjusted to 1000 to get the ball to rev up a little earlier giving me the shape I was looking for. This ball is a full step up from my Attention Star and gives me more midlane and a stronger more defined motion when there is more volume on the lane. This ball would be excellent on multiple conditions and for various styles of players, players bowling on a house shot will be able to blend out the wet/dry with this ball.

  Lane Condition
 46ft Modified House Pattern
 Brunswick Pro Anvil Synthetics
 Emerson Lanes

The new asymmetrical pearl in Storm Premier line is the DNA Coil.  I was a big fan of the original DNA. I drilled mine 4 x4 x2 pin up. I took the finish down to 1000 abralon and added Storm Step 2.  With the pearl cover it gave me a little more length than original, but it the Coil was really smooth for me off the friction. I would say the overall strength would be medium.  It fits below the Gem's, Reality's, Absolute power. And stronger than the Idol, Phaze II, Summit, and Sublime.  I found more success playing up the lane and mainly bumping the track area.  For me the Coil is still a little forward rolling so I needed to keep my angles pretty straight through the front.  There has been a lot of success at USBC nationals with the Coil, mainly from Stu Williams shooting 780-805 in S/D!  Great addition to the Storm Line!

I drilled this ball specifically for USBC nationals after learning of the success that Stu Williams had with it there.  It, however, never came into play for me as I enjoyed success with other equipment under the Storm umbrella.  I can tell you that I can see why this ball was his go to.  This ball does blend tough conditions extremely well and responds confidently to friction to find its way uphill to the pocket. This is a true winner.
