Storm Drive Bowling Ball

The storm Drive is the second ball in collaboration with Jason Belmonte in the signature line. The Drive features the same dual drive core found in the timeless, but is now wrapped in the R2S Nano cover. This provides the Drive with a greater amount of traction in the middle lane, while still having the ability to retain the most amount of energy through the pin deck. I see the Drive as fitting perfectly between the Sure Lock and Phaze ll, and the first ball out of the bag on tougher conditions. The Drive will also be a great option for lower rev rate or speed dominate players that want to see more overall motion out of a ball. Be sure to head over to your local pro shop and get your pre-order in for the February 9 release date! #StormNation Review Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTA2_jGeHOA

Ball Review: The Drive will be a great ball to use on the fresh medium to heavy oil patterns. The Drive features a new coverstock (R2S Nano) and is finished at 3000 grit. It features the Dual Drive Core which was seen in the Timeless. I tested the Drive on a fresh house pattern. I used different breakpoints to see what the shapes, motion and forgiveness was of the ball. I originally started with 8 as my breakpoint and got a pretty consistant look to the pocket. When i moved my breakpoint further to the right and used the outside more of a bumper the Drive would "drive" back into the pocket with significant hitting power. The Drive definitely goes longer than other solids in the Storm line and this is due to the hybrid cover and higher RG nature of the core itself. It is, also, finished at a higher grit (3000) which would prevent it from reading the lane sooner. I do like the Drive as it gives a completely different look from all the other balls in the Storm lineup. The Drive is a perfect 1-2 punch with the Timeless as you can begin a set with the Drive then transition with the Timeless when the lanes begin to open up. Video Review: https://youtu.be/ZjjtcpmUHfM
