this is a very nice ball. i used it for over a year and me and that thing had some good times. it hits really hard and looks great doing it. but the ultra hot and i had to go our separate ways because it was only 12 ponds and was drilled to bowl strait.  but i will always remember this great bowling ball.
scale of 1-10 i give it a 10!!

Let me tell you about this one!
First time out with it I shot a 233, 300, 257! For a 790!
It was drilled pin at 11 o'clock, pin 4 inches from my axix, ending weight was 1/4 oz negative. I also shined it by putting in a ball machine for 5 minutes.
I was playing 17 throwing it to 8 board, and smashed the pocket.
I was bowling in the Monaca Community League at Baden Bowl.

   Being from Storm, the Ultra Hot was a ball that we expected to like and we did.  The Ultra Hot has a number of features that make it appealing, not the least of which is the price.  

   We tested primarily one ball, drilled with a 10:30 layout.  Pin 3" x c.g. 1" from axis.  A small extra hole was used on the axis to bring the ball to 1/4 positive, 0 finger/thumb.  We tested the ball with numerous shell preparations on synthetic lanes that ranged from medium oil with fresh back ends to dryer fronts with some carry-down.  Our tester is right handed with medium revs (18 to 21) and throws between 17 and 18 mph.

   The first thing we did was test the ball in it's out-of-the-box dull shell.  We were looking for something to even out some over-reacting back ends in a house league.  The Ultra Hot did give the player a smooth transition but didn't allow him to play deep enough to avoid the fast-changing track area.  It just wouldn't come back from anywhere inside of 14 or 15.  Not wanting to fight too much with it, we changed the shell to a 1500 wet sand and polished surface.  This changed the look and use of the ball dramatically.  It was now a piece of equipment that played the dryer part of the lane very nicely with a very smooth back end and awesome carry.  

   The Ultra Hot became a perfect bridge between the mid-range Storm equipment (Eraser Boost) and the dry lane specials like the Storm Hit or Columbia Scout/R.  The Ultra Hot revs through the entire lane, is very smooth, predictable and carries better than the price would indicate.  We found the Ultra Hot to play well from most any angle, crossing boards to playing down and in.  There were times where it seemed as though it was a bit better the straighter we kept it but when there was enough friction to move on, we could belly it too.  

   This ball worked so nicely when the Eraser Boost was too much it had us thinking that they were made to be sold as a pair.  If you have a Boost and would like something that you could go to when it's moving too much too soon, the Ultra Hot is the ball you want.  

   Overall, we liked the Ultra Hot very much for the medium to medium dry conditions.  Dry back ends don't seem to be a problem for this ‘smoothy' and the carry is very good.  The only caution would be not to try and use it on too much oil, even dull it just doesn't have the motor or tires to get the job done when the lanes are slick.

My Ultra Hot is 16lbs with top weight unknown and no weight holes needed.  It is drilled pin under middle finger with the cg under the ring finger.

Again I'd like to say thanks to Tommy Semiz and David at 11th Frame proshop for their ingenuity on laying out my Ultra Hot.  They also gave me exactly what I asked for with this ball.

I needed something weak for fresh first shift synthetic lanes with screaming backends and this is what I got.

The Ultra Hot glides down the lane easily like the Too Hot does, but being the solid version it will come out of the oil and turn into the pocket.  I play up the ten board to avoid any lane transistions during the night and the most adjusting I have to do is speed.  

This ball also doesn't like long oils or carrydown all that much with this layout, but it handles them better than the Too Hot does.  It is also not recommended to play the track area of the lane, if conditions don't permit,  with this one because it's not as weak as it seems.  Most of the time it rolls about ten feet down the lane.

The hit and carry are great up the boards but also tend to leave flat pocket 7-10 nightmares when you get too deep.

Overall it is very even and controllable as expected stronger than the Too Hot but not overly strong to drive you mad on horizontal wet/dry shots.

The Too/Ultra Hot make a great combo that most Storm lovers shouldn't pass up.

Hey,
I have this ball now for more than 3 years. Normally I replace balls after 2 years but I won't do this with the Ultra Hot. This ball rocks!!! Works great for dry-medium lanes. I recently used the ultrahot in a tournament. Lanes were pretty dry so I decided to play between boards 20 and 15, medium ball speed and a lot of refs. I averaged 237,25 over the whole tournament without having a split at all.
Great Storm Ball

This is in my opinion the greatest ball I have ever owned.  I have thrown many 300's and 800's with this ball.  I have the pin right above my ring finger with the cg kicked out.   I used this ball on short meduim patterns on on some PBA expeirience patterns such as Cheetah and Viper.  It does not overreact on these patterns at all.  It comes out of the box 800 dull but I brought it up to 1000 grit and used Storm's reacta shine and it reacts amazingly.
