We drilled up two of these bad boys and they were quite impressive. The first one we drilled was with a label drilling, cg kicked out very little and the pin over the ring, and the RAD just right of the thumb. The bowler has decent ability and was able to give us our first read on the ball. This ball has great length and unbelievable snap/hook in the back part of the lane. I was actually amazed to see the amount of hook this ball gave when it hit the back. The length was also extremely good. This particular ball was thrown on a fresh 43 foot house condition, synthetic lanes.

The second one we drilled was for one of our regulars from our other shop in the Bronx, NY. He has extremely slow ball speed for a younger player, but really revs her up. We drills this one 4 X 4, pin over the ring, cg kicked out about a good 2 inches and the RAD almost /near his PAP. We watched him throw it on wood lanes with a fresh house shot 42 feet. Again, very, very good length with a great boom in the back part of the lane. However, this player got a little over/under with the ball, probably because of his speed and because of the heavier concentration in the middle. Don't get me wrong, this ball is great. He was just not able to hit the dry too soon and was not able to get a steady reaction in the oil. However, when he hit the pocket I didn't see any corners standing. This ball is a truck and if used on the right condition can really open up the lane for you.

IF YOU ARE TIRED OF SOLID 10 PINS CAUSING YOU TO GET 299's TIME AFTER TIME THIS BALL IS YOUR ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM THAT WE AS BOWLERS HAVE TO FACE. This ball is 15lbs. I had the ball set up with the pin located on the top right side of the ring finger at an angle, with the MASS BIAS and the RAD following right down, and the RAD is located at about an inch away from the thumb hole.


I chose this setup because I wanted a touch more length but still have the hook for medium to oily conditions and it creates a smooth break point into the pocket. The ball is very easy to find the line you need at any house, as well as making easy and accurate shots when the line you are throwing brakes down. If you are off your shot a board or two its ok it wont leave you with splits or shots you have never encounterd before lol.


Put it this way before it was the DEUCE that was STORM's best ball ever created but I feel that they have out done themselves and this one should top the charts. Do the right thing and pick up one today or two with a different setup it will be your best investment to kill the competition and impress others with your skills.

I don't really have a review because I don't have this ball yet, but I do have a question.  

I have the Deuce and the RE-Loaded, both are drilled the same way.  I have the pin (*) to the left of the ring finger, CG kicked out, and the RAD (R) in the strong position and a balance hole on my PAP.  

   *O O
 CG
X
     O
   R

These balls complement each other very well.  The Deuce has an out of the box surface finish, and the Re-Loaded is polished.  When one over-reacts, I can use the other, and vice-versa.  

If I get the XXX-Factor, should I drill it the same, or will it react much like the Deuce or the Re-Loaded?

Well I have had this ball for about 3 weeks now and so far this is one of the best balls I have to work on mid oil lanes.  It glides out nicely and make a nice strong controlled hook back and rips through the deck with easy.  I have found that heavy oil it roles out to far and deflects when hitting the pocket leaving weak tens and such. other wise very nice ball fits well with my Fear Factor and reloaded.

WHAT THE HELL YOU MEAN I MISSED THE MARK BY 30 BOARDS I WAS DEAD ON!!!!

I have my xxx factor drilled 4 x 4 with the cg kicked out to the right.  I have used it on two different conditions so far.  On a wet dry with medium to strong backends, I was able to play far enough left in the oil with good ball speed and had no problem getting the ball to turn the corner and hit like a truck.  This eliminated the dry boards to the right.  The other condition was medium oil with medium back end and out of bounds right of 8.  I was able to float the ball from between 4th and 5th arrow to about 10 with slow ball speed and this ball never lost any energy.  This allowed me to shoot a 300 game while I watched others struggle to carry.  This is by far the strongest backend I have experienced with any ball.  I would give it a 10 out of 10 rating.

After my FearFactor (with Moonson coverstock) died after one month using (not very  often) I am scare about buying Triple bcs its have the same coverstock (only polished) that FF have!!!!!!!! What to do? Have somebody any suggestions??

I just bought this ball on sat (2/28) and I shot 3 games with it.  The lanes had a medium coat of oil on them and they are synthetic.  Let me say that this ball carries no matter where you put it!  I was able to roll the ball out to the right corner ( I was standing near the 3rd dot on the left hand side) and it didn't lose any traction nor did it take off early.  It hit the pins with purpose and it doesn't seem to lose any energy when hitting the pins.  I roll at about average speed and I get about 15 revs on the ball.  I can't wait to try it out on my league lanes tonight (they have some heavy oil to about 40 feet I believe).  I'll post later to let ya'll know how I did.  This is my 1st post by the way
