According to the laws of physics, the temperature difference between the blue portion and the red portion of a Flame is significantly different. Although both produce intense heat. the blue is definitely hotter! Therefore if you wish to become a Flamethrower and scorch the competition. we suggest you add the Red and New Blue Hot with Curelyon 2 coverstock to your arsenal of Storm weaponry. You know what they say, if you can't stand the heat...
The Hot Shot features a 4-piece multi-density core surrounded by an aggressive sanded reactive coverstock for added traction in the oil.

I carried a 187 overall average for the year 2001-2002. I did shoot 18 out of 30 weeks with 600 series or better. Early in the year I shot a good series , with medium oil, Sept 2001 235/217/300 = 752 . This is my first 300 game ever and the second time I've seen a 300 shot with this "Storm blue hot " BALL. This season 2003-04 . I have shot 3 strikes in a row , then a gutter ball with a spare ONLY to strike out all hammered the 1-3 pocket hits for a 270 game. Nuff Said!

Mine is drilled at 0 all the way around. No weight whatsoever, Pin is way over to the right, Im a righty. Took this to some lanes where oil was gone from the heads and was pushed down to the pocket. I really liked my Storm Flame reactive until I got my hands on this one. This hits better than any 3 piece ball ive had. I usually keep my wrist in a straight position but cupped it to get this pup to finish thru oil that was pushed down. Very exeptional length which is why I got this but hit very good given the burnt up lanes which is a tough condition for most. Used my TRAUMA to get rid of some of that oil by headpin and didnt shoot very good the 1st game but that was not the purpose of this practice session, Threw 14 games after that one in which i shot 175 the proceeded to average 215-218 with a couple 250s in there. The lanes were burned up and this ball performed GREAT. I threw it very straight as I usually do. Stand on 10 throw over boards 1-5. This one is going to PBA Regionals wit

I picked up this ball about 18 months ago for some wood lanes with burnt heads. As long as the backends are somewhat dry, this ball is a winner. It gets good length unless there is no oil at all, and will make a nice flip on the backend. Mine has the pin 1" below the ring finger with the CG 1" below. It is 16# and had 3.4oz top weight before drilling. It arcs a lot more than it snaps on the backend. It will hold if tugged into the oil some, and still has a little recovery if you miss a little right. If there is more than light oil or substantial carrydown, this ball won't turn the corner. With the pearlized cover and triple puck weight block, I think it makes a better dry lane ball than the Orange Flame. It gets a little more length and angular backend than the Columbia Scout reactive. It can also double as a spare ball more most people.

It moves like plastic, literally, yet hits hard as most resins. You can even start it in the dry and it won't grab until it hits a lot of dry. A lot. I have even used this ball when the outside is spotty. I played directly up the 10 board on a difficult, spotty tournament condition and ripped off 8-9 in a row when I thought I was out of contention. If your power balls and pearls are over/under-ing to give you fits, if there's a lot of dry in one area, you cannot go wrong with this ball. Strokers, don't bother. Tweeners and crankers will love this ball on the super-dry
