Intent:
    Storm’s product line includes a wide variety of weight block, cores,  and coverstocks. This is because we know that different bowlers have  different needs. And we have a responsibility to make sure, when it  comes to your arsenal and you’re ready to hit the lanes, that you have  all of your bases covered.
     
    Storm’s Hot™ line offers an extremely wide variety of performance. From  the more aggressive 2Fast™ and 2Furious™, to the more predictable  Natural™ and Natural Pearl, you are sure to see the differences in  technology. And while some companies offer only recycled core designs at  an affordable price point, Storm designed the dynamic N.O.S.™ Core  specifically for this line. To develop the Hot line to its fullest  potential, we will create a new ball that offers both a dynamic shape  and impressive performance on medium oil conditions.

Design:
    For the new Frantic, we wanted a reliable, proven coverstock that would  provide a clean glide through the heads and attack the drier boards on  the backend. R2S™, the second generation of Reactor™ coverstock  material, is the perfect choice as it does just that.
     
    With a pearl and a solid version available in the line, we prepared a  hybrid version to see if it blended both power and control. Armed with  the exact same coverstock as the Hy-Road™, it proved itself quickly  during the testing process and moved on to the next phase, surface  preparation. With a 1500-grit polished finish, the new Frantic was  impressive during C.A.T.S.® testing as it created three times the entry  angle of the 2Furious.
     
    Looking under the hood, you’ll find the innovative N.O.S. Core. When  compared with the Turbine™ Core, we created an increase of flare  potential by more than 15% with this higher volume core. Wrap this core  with the same coverstock as the Hy-Road and it’s easy to see why the  bowling world is sure to be frantic over this new masterpiece!
