Top 2.44 Pin 3"
Pin is 5" from PAP with the RAD on my VAL
Used a dab of Lane Concepts' Extreme Dull to cut the shine off the cover.

Before you read this review you should know that, #1 I have ball speed and #2 strong roll. For the STORM Nation, this ball is eerily similar to the Blue Thunder. This layout leaves the CG a little short of my PAP. Very stable for the first 20-25 feet; then in true X-Factor core spirit this ball just revs up and rolls up with a strong CONTINUOUS arc. With 8 games under this balls belt it's already accomplished 300 and 800 (33 out of 36 strikes). So obviously I am going to sing praise about this ball.

You'll definitely need oil for this ball to retain it's energy as it attacks the pins. Good luck with your Triple XXX!

First off ive only been bowling for 14 months.
So on my thursday league a friend of mine came to me and told me about storms new ball xxx. well he convinced me to try it and i love it. Ihave mine drilled #4 on the sheet and it revs up hits the pocket like a fighter jet. By far much better than the alter ego i almost bought instead. This is more of a story than a review but let me tell you xxx is the best ball i have ever rolled untill maybe the triple xtreme comes along to change my mind.

I've had this ball for about 2 months.  It came with a 4" pin from cg and is drilled 5 x 3 1/2 putting my RAD/mb very close (within 1/4" of my leverage line). I have found this ball to be an excellent medium to dry ball for me.  I can use it on some med/heavy conditions but only if the backends are clean. This ball gives me a great read and reaction when I send it thru the head section of the lane as opposed to playing softer speed. I have use this ball on a variety of shots from straight up the boards to a deep swing shot.  For my game the key to using this ball is to be firm with ballspeed and clear the heads regardless of what line you are playing otherwise it will either roll up to soon, actually expend its energy too soon, and give the appereance of not reacting enough on the backend.  The XXX-Factor is the pealized version of the Duece.  A strong arc motion that will carry off pocket hits as well as high flush pocket shots.  It is a step down from the Duece but will be the ball I will use alot in my area due to the fact that most league and tourney conditions use lighter volumes of oil.  

Thanks for reading my review.  If I can be of any assistance feel free to send me a message about this ball or any listed in my profile.

15# with a 4-5 inch pin. Drilled pin under ring, and slightly left, cg about 3 inches out from grip center, about 1 inch down. X-Hole approx. 4 inches right of grip center, about 1/2 inch down.

Surface-out of box

Me-Medium speed (around 15)-medium/lil above medium revs, basic tweener.

The ball deffinitly gets down the lane when it needs to. It clears heads good for the most part, but starts checkin up REAL early when the heads are burnt. (obvious from a medium/heavy oil ball) Surprisingly the ball hasnt burned up/rolled out on me once, even when the lanes dry up. It rolls through the midlane very cleanly, never has a problem unless the conditions are spotty. On the backend the ball is killer, it doesnt snap or flip, but its come with a real hard arc to the pocket. As stated before, the ball doesnt do very well on spotty oil, it jumps alot and tends to get very O/U. This is my first ball out now, because I can throw it all night. I have had a lot of success with this ball on the heavier side of medium, all the way till the lanes dry up. Its really a strong ball, so dont be decieved, but its not TOO strong.

Got this ball drilled pin 1/2 inch under ring finger and out of the box finish along with its Black Cherry smell this ball is great.

This ball is very strong and perfect for the way i throw the ball, i throw the ball over 20 out to about 5 and i comes back like a monster, This ball is the best out of the X-Factor line in my opinion. (Oh and also the best smelling one)

I am a tweener. I don't have the details of how the ball is is drilled. It doesn't matter, because everybody is different. Clear through the heads. Revs and shatters pins. AWESOME

I originally got this for heavy oil. Took a couple of weeks to get used to it tough but once I learned the ball it is now my #1 ball. I now use it for all conditions. Adjusting the speed I can basically throw any line. It is an awesome ball. My best Storm to date.(I've had four others)

I have had this ball since May, I bought it for the Nationals, big mistake, this ball has way too much backend for the nats. I didn't use it all summer and have recently started using it in my late shift league, so I finally have used it enough to give it a fair review.

Weight 15lbs 3oz
4"pin
3.25oz top weight
5"x 3 3/8" with rad in the strong position
7/8" weight hole on the axis

I love the way this ball revs up and hits. This ball really reads the lane well on Medium to lighter conditions.

On fresh house patterns, the ball will shoot through the break point and snap way too hard when it hits the dry.

On broken down conditions the XXX ignores the chopped up heads, revs up hard in the midlane and cuts through carry down better than any other ball I own.

I can make it work on other conditions but it takes a lot of concentration.

Great ball. Very verstile. Has awesome forgiveness and will hook and hook and hook. The ball with a little more speed cna play inside and outside angles. Deep inside if the lanes dry up but wont get the ten pin carry all the time. If the lanes break down go to another ball that will hold. This ball wants to read the lanes and break with no remorse. I have three storm balls and will post more.

I personally love this ball. The pin carry is amazing, and is sometimes just overpowering. You can throw this ball slow, medium, or fast, and it will get the job done each and every time. I throw the normal shot, up the 10 board, even breaking off into 13 to 10 angles. Works great with inside shots as well. Be careful with the deep inside shots, though, as you will leave the 10 pin more often.

I threw my very first 300 with this ball (October 14, 2004). I was 14 at the time, and still am. I am simply amazed with this ball. I just stick it down at the spot, and it does the rest of the work. :-)

Ball needs hook again or some sort of resurfacing vey soon. The ball is drilled to go long and rev up. Well it did and it does. Ball is now starting to lose its aggressiveness and becoming somewhat picky to speed and oil pattern. Im not going into drill patterns because I dont have a clue. This ball is now 1 years old. Bought at pro shop off the wall and it still is my starter on fresh oil. Evidentally my lane conditions have changed and so has my approach. after ball is resurfaced will post another. Ball is a 8.5

very nice ball id say works well late in tournaments just as long as the back end are not to dry cause the ball has tremendous snap. I wouldnt recomend playing an outside line with the ball cause it will read the midlane way to early and turn the corner like u wouldnt belive id rate the ball a 7.5 would be a 8 but the fact that it isnt to versitle on outside lines.

Had this ball about a year.  Mine is drilled with pin right of ring finger.  CG and RAD kicked out right.  Almost stacked drill.

This is a good ball.  I use it on Medium to Medium Heavy conditions.  Not a Heavy Oil ball.  It has a nice roll and move to the pocket.  Depending on how you throw the ball it can arc or skid snap, very versatile.  I have had many high games and series with this ball.  One of the first out of the bag.
