The Storm Super Nova features the NeX Solid cover, Ignition core, and comes at 2000-grit out of box. Out of box this ball was a bit too strong for our house pattern and would burn up too quickly. I reset the surface to 3k and let it lane shine for a couple games. This is where the ball really looks the best for me. I compared this ball to the original Nova and it is earlier and a bit smoother down lane. It forces me left about 3-5 boards compared to the Nova on our house shot. I had a chance to throw the Super Nova on a 44ft/28mL sport pattern and it looked really great. I was able to move right or move in and get to the pocket with no issues. I threw the Nova on there as well but it was just a bit too sharp off the spot or had some issues getting back to the pocket.. The Super Nova is really going to shine on higher volume sport or house shots.

Storm Super Nova features the Ignition Core that was found in the Nova, RG 2.49, 0.052 Diff and PSA 0.019, and is wrapped around the NEX Solid cover and finished at 2000 grit. I drilled mine 5 x 5.5 x 2 which is also the same way I drilled my Nova. I have thrown this ball a couple times now and I’ve been really impressed with the reaction of this ball. I first used it at the RPI Regional the last 3 games of qualifying and actually blended out the entire lane. Next time I threw it on the house shot and I was still super impressed because it didn’t burn up and plaque nor did it overreact when I got it to the dry super quick. This ball will be a very versatile piece in my bag because I will be able to use it after my Proton Physix on longer patterns and those medium length heavier volume patterns. To sum up this versatile ball, I would say a stronger Phaze 2 type of reaction.
