I like Storm but their reps are always saying "something that has never been done before", to only go create the same ball and motion that they've created before. Smh
Looking at the specs on the website... this is just an attempt at urethane that's not subject to PBA urethane rules. That said, a urethane ball that holds surface longer and doesn't get bogged down with oil would be pretty dang cool. We'll see if it delivers.
So, it's Storm's version of microcell polymer. Smooth, controlled reaction that still absorbs oil to maintain reaction that sits between urethane and reactive. The most important thing here is the intended retention of surface prep. If they can reduce the speed of lane shine a ball develops, that'll be pretty cool.
@@cyan0xide Urethane is the strongest cover type, IE it grabs the earliest. That's why a short pin strong resin is closer to urethane than a weaker ball, mcp is stronger than resin but weaker than urethane. weak resin wouldn't bite in the oil enough and wouldn't be smooth or predictable
So..this resolves the problem of the balls absorbing oil too slowly? I'm confused as to if that is the problem this is resolving. I get that it's keeping the surface prep longer, somehow, but if the ball is absorbing oil faster, then won't it die faster?
If a ball absorbs oil faster, it has more cover to dig into the lane every shot. Gives you earlier hook in the oil and less on the dry for more control like they were saying.
@ I’m talking longevity of the ball. Not immediate response. How long and how many games/how much oil can be absorbed until the cover is basically dead. If you’re using urethane, you should always wipe the ball off after each shot and remove all oil. Same really applies to every shot, dependent on if that oil is needed to attain a certain strategy.
This may finally get a Storm ball in the bag! (hey...i have 900g and Roto lol) Seriously...in a world of "MOST HOOKING BALL EVER!!!" I've been begging for some mellow control
So basically this is a newer type of Pitch Black judging by color and roll characteristics. Wonder how you will create a Level Blackout down the road though.
I can ALREADY see it. Yes, yes! --- *YES !! I CAN SEE THE POSSIBILITIES !!* LEVEL HYBRID // PRO LEVEL // NEXT LEVEL // FINAL LEVEL // ENDLESS LEVEL // LEVEL UP // PHAZE LEVEL ... ... Ideas are endless! Take my word for it, Storm Nation! ❤❤ EDIT: Dang it!! Some people before me (as i see it, 40ish mins ago) gave these names as suggestions! SMH! 😂
Oh Lord, here we go again. The "Level" is obviously another attempt by Storm to create a "urethane like" ball and we know how all their past experiments with that idea have turned out.
Someone saw "RPM" and decided to fabricate an acronym for it. How are you so disconnected with pro shops at a fundamental level? Do you have any idea how entirely disinterested the average pro shop customer would be with this jumbled language?

Considering Motiv has had tech for a few years that resist surface changes during use.....its not even that game breaking or "new" lol
Preach 🙌
😂😂😂
Every brand does the same thing. Every rep will brag how this is the "must use" ball....Until the next ball is released.
why you think they are called king of marketing?

Its literally just the Nu Blue and Rattler Nu. Maybe Storm will get it right but I have my doubts.
@@JoeDoe-ro1msSPi is the best out there anything else is second! Motive will soon be purchased, I’m sure you have heard..
@@redcat5697 Ah yes, Facebook boomer bowling schizophrenia. My favorite lol
Exactly what I was thinking it was meant to be
So they went the Motiv route?
So I assume the 2nd ball in the line would be the “Next Level”? 😂
Or just Level
Level Up
Level 2 lol
Awww! I thought I WAS already coming up with ''original ideas'' !! 😂😂
The NeX Level
Marketing team went crazy with this one. I'm skeptical but excited
thanks ma boi

But wouldn’t a budget/mid level resin ball already be a step between urethane and high performance reactive? Or a mix?
@@cyan0xide mid level resin ball is going to have a much weaker cover which will result in a very different ball reaction type.
On paper, this is just a NU ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@cyan0xide Urethane is the strongest cover type, IE it grabs the earliest. That's why a short pin strong resin is closer to urethane than a weaker ball, mcp is stronger than resin but weaker than urethane. weak resin wouldn't bite in the oil enough and wouldn't be smooth or predictable
What a beautiful, expensive hobby! Glad I fell into it
I’m super excited
Is that Jamie from Progressive in the shadows speaking 🤔
No!
I cannot unsee that now😂😂😂
Does increased oil absorption result in faster coverstock oil saturation?

Id be interested to see a comparison of this ball versus the IQ tour or hustle line
I’m liking it
This may finally get a Storm ball in the bag! (hey...i have 900g and Roto lol)
Seriously...in a world of "MOST HOOKING BALL EVER!!!" I've been begging for some mellow control
So this is practically the new phase two
I’ll pair this with my Phisix Blackout
What is the difference between this cover and SPEC from the Crux Prime and the Pro Motion?
A Black Pro Motion that will be just as unpopular as the original. Even Belmo's name couldn't save the original.
I didn't ask for an opinion, I asked for information
@@connorduncan5201 Sorry, couldn't help it. Storm keeps doing this same thing over and over.
So.. is this Storm’s take on a “not urethane” ball? 🤔
What i love within 3 months is that the ball will be in the trash being replaced by a new version
We know surface changes after just one throw. So show us the data that backs up the claims that this new surface lasts longer
So basically this is a newer type of Pitch Black judging by color and roll characteristics. Wonder how you will create a Level Blackout down the road though.
They use vantablack as the color
Lol level Blackout
@@Dsplayynah not dark enough
why on the wesite for this ball the drilling sheet still has balance holes , bit outdated and needs to be updated
Looks SPECish
SPEC was designed to absorb oil more slowly, so, in theory, this would be the opposite of that
@ I mean shape wise
Usually the first of everything has the most success! Hopefully history repeats itself.
Is it a more beefed up SPEC-coverstock?
Is this the new iPhone or bowling ball?
Neat
I'll have to try it out but maybe first pro trans movement I can support
The Purple Hammer successor must be releasing. Another fraken-ball, Storm. Commercial was silly. Secret Chemist- 😂😂😂
I can ALREADY see it. Yes, yes! --- *YES !! I CAN SEE THE POSSIBILITIES !!*
LEVEL HYBRID // PRO LEVEL // NEXT LEVEL // FINAL LEVEL // ENDLESS LEVEL // LEVEL UP // PHAZE LEVEL ...
... Ideas are endless! Take my word for it, Storm Nation! ❤❤
EDIT: Dang it!! Some people before me (as i see it, 40ish mins ago) gave these names as suggestions! SMH! 😂
Level AI
@@Needsakidney Brooo whyyyy? 😂👍
Level iq😂
So it’s Duramax ?
That's the first that came to mind for me
The price on this is insane. Just buy a Pitch Black.
Storm is like Toyota motors. They have a lot of different models.
add this additive to the ion pro lol
All I’m saying is bowling ain’t never that deep to stay anonymous 😂
Is this not SPEC 2.0?
All I've been wanting from SPI is more balls with a diff below .040, and this looks amazing. Will most likely be picking one up.
Disappointment might start going torch hammer I think storm got woke !!
Another black ball 😢!!! Come on storm
Rip to my wallet! I can't wait for this ball to come out.
For once would you please have amateur or house league bowlers testing new balls, 90% of the bowling population are not pro and bowl on a house shot
Ma boi I am not a pro bowler lol
Wow another black ball with gray text. Impressive.
The best
Black IS beautiful
Don't forget the $195 price tag also.
Rolls like a Pro-Motion?
Going after hk22 or duramax?
Oh Lord, here we go again.
The "Level" is obviously another attempt by Storm to create a "urethane like" ball and we know how all their past experiments with that idea have turned out.
reathane or uractive? vote in the replies
Gonna be sweeeeeet when USBC bans it after we all buy it!
Motiv has already had this, stop the cap
Thinking motiv did it first
So a Nu Level
Guess what color….. black
Someone saw "RPM" and decided to fabricate an acronym for it.
How are you so disconnected with pro shops at a fundamental level? Do you have any idea how entirely disinterested the average pro shop customer would be with this jumbled language?
Never before done? Motiv been had a polymer ball.
Wouldn't faster oil absorption mean that the ball won't last as long? If that's so then why is it $200
Reactive pitch black
Lol or just buy Motiv if you want consistency past 4 months
third... dang it...
I thought you didn’t want a ball that absorbed oil like paper towel
Too much overlap with other products. Way overpriced.
Why do I always feel like Storm is trying to get me to join a cult? They take this business of knocking over sticks with rocks way too seriously...
Lets talk about a ball and not see how it reacts.. great advertisement..
First
Second, lol
