The Storm ION Max features the NRG Solid Reactive cover, Element Max A.I. Core, and comes
at 2000-grit. This is the newest ball in the ION series. The core was altered in the Max to
increase the differential compared to the ION Pro. First off, this ball is a hook monster. You will
need plenty of oil and this ball will sit in the Gem range for traction and hook. I tested it out of
box on house and was not unusable for me, but I did throw it on Chromium and couldn’t miss
the pocket. Since the Gem got discontinued, I compared it to the Harsh Reality, and I think the
Max is a touch stronger and with similar shape down lane. You could really tell the difference
when I got left and the Max was able to recover better from those zones. The ION Pro is just at
least a ball down from the Max and is much cleaner with more shape down lane. Since I bowl
mostly on house, I polished my Max and it looks amazing on house for me. I think this ball will
be seen a lot on heavier volume sport patterns. Another home run from Storm!
