Storm Street Fight bowling ball review
« on: February 02, 2017, 12:44:21 AM »
Street Fight interesting ball from storm.3000 grit sheen out of box and that massive symmetrical iron cross core. I really like the core in this ball but I had to make some changes to the cover took it to 1000 abaron.i was bowling tournament I belive the patter was 39 feet forget the pattern name lol. I used this ball off the fresh gave me alot of roll good mid lane and just enough backend this is after changing the cover stock from box finish. ball tends to shine up quick so keeping surface one this ball I find makes it roll better. when I use this ball seems I have to keep my angles alot tighter to the pocket not alot of swing room with this ball,carry is amazing with this ball that's of course of that massive core lol,as the day progressed when trying to get left with this ball seemed not to make the recovery I wanted just lost reaction down lane I would really like to see this ball with same core rapped in pearl cover stock maybe same cover snap lock has.dont get me wrong I really like this ball something to play a little more straight and control my angles something I can see bowlers using for medium patterns,compared to the original fight this is little more skiddy and more motion down lane and its a great one two in the bag with both this ball something earlier fight something later and mid lane street fight for sure and maybe in the future a pearl right with even more length and backend lol, storm fans all over have to say storm just keeps getting better and better with the gear there making and still make the best balls in bowling today.

In reading your review, it seems to me that because you had to add surface to the ball to increase it's effectiveness, it lends more credence to the original design of the  solid Fight, which has a matte cover. I own a Fight and found this ball extremely effective on a couple of sport shots. So, because the Street Fight is 3000 sheen, this means the ability to control that down lane flip is paramount to a person's carry, and the effectiveness of using this ball.

That core is massive and adding it to a pearl cover does not bode well for controllability overall. This may be a case where this ball is better served with a Rico drill, if you are really desiring controllability. Otherwise, only natural fireballers, and people who roll 18mph and higher should love this piece!
Some days you're the bug....some days you're the windshield...that's bowling!
