Storm Second Dimension impression, but first some background.
I am a medium high rev rate player with normal ball speed in the 17 to 18 MPH range.  My PAP is 5 3/4 vertical and +1/8 horizontal.  
I wanted to drill my Second Dimension as close to my Virtual Gravity as I could.  The pin to CG distance made me alter that a little.  The pin on the Second Dimension is above the ring finger instead of below the ring finger like my Virtual.  I place the pin 5 1/4 from my PAP and the CG is 3 1/2 from my PAP.  This placed the CG about 3/4 inches above the midline.  I placed the extra hole on my PAP.  I used this ball in my league on the house pattern.  Our house pattern is 43 feet in length with a total oil volume of 21.25 ml.

My first impression how clean the ball was in the front part of the lane.  I really liked that.  My second impression was how am I going to control this ball at the end of the pattern.  My league mates loved the direction change this ball made down the lane.  After I got used to the look, so did I.  I started with a 4-9, missed it, and then went off the sheet.  Never had a thought about leaving anything standing, but then I started the second game.  Lane condition breakdown took me to the land of 9 and 4 pins.  Not having used a ball with a change of direction like this since the Gravity Shift, I was slow to make the proper move.  Once I chased the pattern in much deeper, the strikes came back.  If it were not for a lack of moving one more time in the 6th frame, I would have shot 300 the last game.  I do not think I could have lost the recovery and hitting power of this ball no matter how far left I would have moved.

My two favorite pearl Storm balls are the Shift and the T-Road Pearl.  The Second Dimension gives me the same length as the T-Road Pearl and a more angular move at the breakpoint, and not quite as early on reading that breakpoint.  Adding the Virtual Gravity into this arsenal, and I have 4 balls that can handle any of the conditions I think I will see.

I can't wait to use this ball again and on some tougher patterns.  This is a pearl that will probably work better with some carrydown for me where the T-Road pearl wants to hang at times and will turn the corner stronger than my Shift.  The coverstock and the core seem to be a perfect match for the Second Dimension.

I never thought I would like baked apple pie this much.
