    it is a desent ball that is a last resort ball. it has a good back end but doesn't have any power in the pocket. a good ball if your learning how to hook but once you start getting 200, youll find that this is a good spare ball. it looks cool and i have picked up many spilts with it. alomost got the 7-10 but missed by a CM. it will hook like an inferno if you throw it really slow and with a lot of hook. not a bad ball for its price. if your learning how to hook this is a ball to glance at.<scrip

    This ball is the best ball ive ever had for dry lanes other than my plastic ball. But when my plastic ball doesnt hook this ball is the one i throw. There is only one type of condition this ball is for and thats for dry lanes. If there is any type of oil on the lane at all this ball should not even be brought out of the bag unless you are going to use it for spare pick ups. Other then that this ball is good, for what its designed for. If you have over 400 revs in the ball this ball is for you. The way i have it drilled it tends to roll over the thumb and fingers alittle to much but thats just because of the way i have it drilled.

    Actually a 1500 grit factory finish. I got this ball for when my Hot Rod gets too jumpy, and had it drilled the same way (axis weight). For me the ball is great for short, light oiled lanes with a bone dry backend. An impressive backend for a cheap ball. But only for this condition! This ball should not be a strike ball for longer lanes, as the strike area would be very limited. (This is a low flaring ball, so it would slide more at the backend) It would be a good spare ball on heavier lanes for then 10-pin and 3-9 spare.

    The thick pancake block in this ball pretty much assures you that this not your "walk-in-the-door" first ball. However, when the going gets tuff and the particles are messing with you mind, this is a good ball to get the series back under control. For the price, it's a great bargain ($10 or so on ebay.) Unexpectedly, it's a good spare ball too, freeing up a ball bag space. This ball can earn a place in your arsenal. Lotsa corner pins under the wrong conditions. Looks like cartoon network ball (ok, maybe that's a "likes").

    What a disappointment! After lighting it up on dry lanes for the first few weeks, this ball gave up like a 60 year old boxer. I think a Manhattan rubber ball would give you more smack than this absolute chunk of junk. I am sorry I initially gave a "thumbs-up" for this stinker. Storm should refund any funds paid for this ball, and issue a formal apology for marketing it in the first place. In over 25 years of bowling, I have not seen a ball react less in the pocket than this potato chip. Save your money. In fact, don't even accept this ball if it is offered free!

    well i gave the ball the layout i tried on a erase it , and that ball seems to roll real good so i thought that i would try it on my hit, but it was a real stinker, i hated everything about this ball, to be honest i lost it somewhere son't know where it is and i don't really care if i ever find it. the ball rolled funny for me it gave me way too much over and under and i tried quite a few of cover stocks on the ball everything from 220 up to 1500 to scotch brite and all kinds of polish and i just copuld not find a good surface for this ball. i am wondering if their is a big difference in the color ranging from the red to the blue, because a friend of mine had the red one and it gave him a great reaction and a good hit, and they were both drilled the same way, i know what u are thinking, it might be because we throw the ball different, but the only difference is i put about twice as much revs on the ball. so i don't know just for me this ball was a total TERD!
