This ball is a surprise to me. I will do a short review here. As for the layouts and surface I did to this ball; I posted what I did above earlier.  I was expecting this ball to be a little longer than the deuce with lots more backend. What I got was a ball that picks up earlier on the lane than the deuce and a very strong continuous movement on the backend. This ball definitely has a different hook look than I am use to seeing in a storm reactive ball. Do I like this look...yup. Storm has been needing this look in their arsenal and it is here. I am curious to see what it does on a heavier blend. Also, I believe this is a stronger accutread cover than on the deuce. I will purchase another extreme and do a lengthy layout with more polish. Lane Pattern: 40 foot blend with 37 units in center with 5 units outside 8. Lane surface is HPL.
