The new Axiom brings with it the Orbital Core which is designed to rev up in the mid lane and blend out the end of the pattern. If that wasn’t smooth enough, Storm wrapped that Orbital core with the all new NeX overstock. NeX stands for Nano Extreme. NeX is Storms earliest reading cover to date. As I throw some shots here you’ll notice that Storm wasn’t lying. The Axiom is the definition of hook in the box. It is early and really doesn’t shape hard down lane at all. While filming, like with previous strong covered bowling balls, I found that playing to the right didn’t allow the ball to retain enough energy to go through the pins. As the videos progress, you’ll see me get left and try to spin it through the fronts. Trying to spin it through the fronts was the only was I was able to successfully get my ball to strike. It is so early that it just didn’t save up enough energy to retain any energy through the pins. A few shots I leaked to the right and instead of boomeranging off the dry like normal, the axis quickly stabilized and straightened out causing me to flat 10 or leave a light split. What you’ll get from this ball is an early heavy rolling shape and a stable axis down lane. Even trying to spin it through the fronts, you’ll notice how easily it stabilizes. My most sincere warning are to those who are low speed and/or have high rev rates. If you’re looking for an all around user friendly ball, the Axiom is not the one. This ball was designed for one specific purpose: HEAVY OIL. The Axiom will be used on the heaviest of oil patterns because it needs a lot of oil in the heads to help it store energy through the pins. I can’t stress it enough, you need a lot of volume for this piece.
