Storm Axiom Pearl Bowling Ball

<p>PAP 4 &frac12; over and 1 up ball speed 15 rev rate 275</p><p>Drilling 90x4x30 </p><p>I drilled the beauty to compare to my current favorite ball, my Phaze 3. Layouts are pretty similar although overall I get about 5-7 boards more hook with a very similar motion through the lane. The Phaze 3 is a touch stronger off the spot down lane but that is mostly because the Phaze 3 is more angular where as the Axiom Pearl is a little bit more forward which gets the ball into a roll just a little bit quicker. So overall more mid-lane dig and stronger reaction. Between the look of this ball and that amazing peppermint smell this ball is going to quickly make it to one of my favorites!</p>

PAP 3 ¾ over 1" up ball speed 17 rev rate 475 Drilling-65x4 ¼ x45 I drilled this Gem with the intention of it being my new house shot killer, she did not disappoint. It gives me a nice strong mid-lane for a pearl which is fantastic to see it control the mid's, and continue through the pins. Something I noticed with my pin carry, all my half pocket hits carried. The Orbital core keeps the pins low and on the deck showing my pin carry has certainly shown improvement with these in my hands. Overall I get a very OG Marvel Pearl motion, very happy to have a new Big Symmetrical Pearl in my arsenal

Storm's Axiom Pearl features the same fast revving Orbital Core as the original as the Axiom but this one is wrapped around the pearl version of the NeX. I drilled mine 5.5 x 5 x 3, after throwing a couple games with the Axiom Pearl, I noticed that it was clean as any other pearl ball but it wasn't as angular as one. The backend reaction was still strong but it reminded me more of a solid cover bowling ball on it was smooth and continuous. This ball will be very versatile as I believe I will be able to use it on the fresh when I see friction all over the lane and also sometimes later in blocks! Higher friction house shots will best suit this ball for league!

The newest addition in the Master Line from Storm Products the brand new Axiom Pearl! This ball features the NeX Pearl Reactive Coverstock wrapped around the Orbital Core! This Axiom Pearl is a cleaner and more responsive Axiom that compliments one another very well! Mine that I have drilled is pin over my bridge CG kicked which is about 4 1/2 inches over from my pap! Definitely love the motion of this when my Axiom May be a little to early or to smooth down lane and my Phaze 3 is not quite enough this will fit that gap fantastic! Get yours at your local pro shop today!

Axiom Pearl Layout - 55 x 4 x 70 This is by far the best shiny pearlized symmetric ball I have drilled! The Axiom is incredible for me, for sure the strongest symmetric ball we make. When I need a shiny ball from there the Phaze 3 is a bit too long in the oil and too sharp off of the friction. This Axiom Pearl is the closest ball I've seen to the Marvel Pearl. It is alot of hook for that shiny of a ball and doesn't over-hook off of the dry! Everyone needs this ball!

The Axiom Pearl features the same low RG, high differential core found in the original Axiom but is now wrapped in NEX pearl. NEX pearl is storms latest rendition to its nano based covers. The design intent behind NEX was to enhance midlane traction without sacrificing downlane motion. This combination provides exactly what you want to see out of a stronger symmetrical ball. During the middle games of a tournament block, as soon as you are forced left it is important to keep a strong ball in your hands to control the midlane. The Axiom Pearl provides the midlane control needed with the energy retention required to get the ball through the pins properly. This ball reaction reminds me a lot of the SonIQ and marvel pearl which were both staples in my bag a few years back. When compared to the axiom, the axiom pearl is 2 to 3 boards more overall and 2 to 3 feet later downlane. When thrown against the hyroad, the axiom pearl provides much more traction and slows down much faster than the hyroad. Be sure to stop into your local storm vip pro shop and preorder your very own axiom pearl for the October 9th release! Review Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJLv_gFsJic

The Axiom Pearl is the next installment in the Master Line. I particularly looked forward to this ball as it going to be a strong coverstock/core combination that will be more angular than the original Axiom. This ball did not disappoint as it reads the midlane strong and angles in the backend going through the pins very well. Compared to the Trend, the Axiom Pearl is a little earlier rolling and a little more smoother in the back part of the lane. This ball to me is great on heavier volumes of oil, sport conditions or house conditions where you can be a little straighter on the lanes. This is definitely a great ball to have if you love the motion of the original Axiom and find that the ball can get a little too slow on the backend. The Axiom and Axiom Pearl are a great 1-2 punch!

Cover: NeX Pearl Core: Orbital Core Finish: 1500 Polish RG: 2.48 Differential: 0.050 ME: Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 12-13 mph Rev Rate: 315 PAP: 4 7/8 Right 3/8 Up Ball Layout: Pin In Ring 4 1/2 Pin to Pap 3 inch pin buffer The New Storm Axiom Pearl has already been very popular with the Tour players. The orbital core has been wrapped in the NEX Pearl cover. As stated by the company: "NeX (Nano Extreme) is Storm's earliest reading cover to date. NeX was remarkably earlier hooking than NRG on any pattern, or any surface we tested it on. Our standardized durability and longevity tests showed NeX created 11% more entry angle and 9.6% more overall hook after 50 shots compared to a fresh NRG cover. Simply put, NeX gives more midlane read than ever WITHOUT sacrificing any backend!" The description certainly bears out when tested. This ball gives you a lot of mid-lane read for a Pearl. The higher volume patterns used on tour would definitely work well for a ball this strong. This is the strongest symmetric pearl ball I have ever thrown. I see it being a favorite for people with higher ball speeds and lower rev-rates in a league atmosphere and for anyone bowls on sport patterns. I had to find another gear to get it down-lane on the higher friction surface where I bowl league, but once I resigned myself to playing left to right I immediately saw how once I provided the speed the ball would provide the hook and hit.

This Axiom Pearl made a statement the first time I saw it and threw it. The color combination on this ball is aesthetic and the smell is not too over-powering. When I took it to the lanes for the first time I started with the front 8 strikes. In my YouTube review of the Axiom Pearl, I compared it to the Storm Trend. I would say that the Axiom Pearl is overall 5-6 boards stronger. When both balls got to the breakpoint, the Trend was slower off the spot and the Axiom Pearl was very strong. I was excited to use this ball with the original Axiom and see the difference in the two as well. The pearl cover is going to make all the difference when the Axiom is burning up too early and not getting the corners out anymore.

The Axiom Pearl features the orbital core found in the original Axiom although this time the pearl features a new cover; NeX which is Storm's earliest reading cover to date. I found with the Axiom Pearl it provided tons of overall shape in the mid-lane with plenty of continuation off the spot. For those looking for something earlier and smoother than the Idol Pearl this will be the ball to go to.

Talk about hard hitting! This ball has it. You would think it was an Asym it hits so hard. Storm has hit the jackpot with this ball. With the NEX Pearl Coverstock, this ball gets though the front part of the lane and when it turns the corner it makes a move like no other. I have drilled two of them. 60 x 3 3/4" x 25 and another one 50 x 4 1/4" x 45. This ball has a very strong forward roll. Hooks about 3-4 boards more then the TREND ball and the colors show the skid, hook and roll phaze very easily. This is a must have in your bag. When you need to get left this ball seems to not quit. Medium to high flare ball this ball drives with power. I throw 14lb and you would never know it. The way this ball launches pins is incredible. Reminds me of the Nuclear Cell as far as hitting power. You struggle with rev rate? Not to worry, it is very versatile to any style of bowler. You wont be disappointed with this ball!!
