Wow, that was the first thing I said when I threw this ball down the lane. Guys, I don’t post on here much but I felt I wouldn’t be doing this ball any justice if I didn’t come on and let you guys know about the Dimension. First off I want to say I’m not trying to put together an advertisement here but like I said this ball is totally different and a reaction type I have never seen before. I do check the board quite often and as a few of you know I’m always available to help you with anything you may need from Storm / Roto-Grip and Turbo Grips.
The concept behind the core on the Dimension is going to be released very soon on StormBowling.com for those who would like some more technical information on this new design. I drilled two of these monsters one with a weaker pin (5 1/2 inches from PAP) and one with a stronger pin (4 ½ inches from PAP) and got to throw them over the weekend. I immediately thought to myself I have never seen a ball hook like this one. I’m the most comfortable when I bowl when I can throw the ball firm my natural game is definitely speed dominate. This was probably the first time I have thrown on the first shot and thought whoa, I could put polish on this and still use it! Unlike strong asymmetrical balls I have thrown in the past the really tend to slow down in the backend part of the lane and if there is to much friction they burn up or roll out. Not this ball! It gave me the core strength of an asymmetrical but the forgiveness and backend as a symmetrical. Not to mention how strong the R2X solid cover stock is and how versatile it was to change. On a fresh house shot I was able to get farther left and get more backend out of the Dimension then the other bowlers on the pair. I had to try this ball on the Shark pattern, because of my speed sometimes that pattern can give me the hiccups but with the Dimension I had a whole new look that I haven’t had on Shark before. Like I mentioned guys I’m not trying to sell soap here to friends. As a bowler myself, It’s very important for me to find pieces of equipment that will give me the advantage. I still love to bowl all the tournaments I can and this ball will definitely have a spot in my bag. Actually I may be adding another bag just so I can put more then one in my arsenal. Look for the Dimension along with the Rapid Fire Pearl June 20th. Hope to see you soon on the lanes.
