The Storm “Optimus Solid†is one, if not, the strongest ball I have in my bag. The original “Optimus†was amazing, but my only issue with it was it was very snappy off the friction. I needed something very similar, yet earlier and smoother. Well the “Optimus Solid†is exactly that! It has a very strong early roll, with a smooth down lane reaction. Great for playing straight on long patterns or even late in the day where there is a lot of friction. If you like very strong, early, and smooth bowling balls, you can’t go wrong with the Storm “Optimus Solidâ€.
