Storm Fate Bowling Ball

FATE Fragrance is Cherry Berry Smoothie. Who thinks of these. I don't know but thank you it's amazing and doubles as a car freshener on the way home. Was excited to thrown this with all the hyped that surrounded it and it did not disappoint. Layout in 4 1/4x4 1/4x 3. This new f8 core wrapped in the REX pearl cover(Can't go wrong with the REX cover) This ball is super smooth, controllable and continuous amazing. Have used this on the fresh and the mess and it amazing. I can get left and open them up or get right and slow them down. My favorite Belmo piece was the Pro-Motion but after this I don't know. Def add one to your bag because everyone else is

In contrast to previous Storm Bowling/Jason Belmonte collaborations we see the Fate being on the smoother side of the spectrum. The Fate is clean and will has no issues clearing the fronts yet will provide plenty of control when it makes it's move off the spot without seeing that fast response off the friction. The Fate is going to be a great transition ball as you begin to open your angles up when you are getting out of the stronger symmetrical solids or the asymmetrical solids or pearls.

Fate – WWRD 11/18/2022 Cover: ReX Pearl Reactive Weight Block: F-8 Core RG 2.52. Diff. 0.053 Reacta Gloss Finish Storm's new Fate is a Symmetrical Pearl piece that is good for Medium conditions. PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 400. Fragrance is Cherry Berry Smoothie. Drilled this piece with the Pin up between the fingers and CG kicked out 2" from the palm. Out of Box ball motion is clean through the fronts with a smooth continuous motion on the backend. Compared to the Phaze V, the Fate was about 3-4 boards stronger all around and better recovery. This piece was 2-2 stronger than the Trend 2. This piece is good for all types of styles.

The latest Storm and Jason Belmonte collaboration in the Signature line is the Storm Fate. The fate uses a brand new F-8 core and the proven REX Pearl cover. This new F-8 core gives me a lot of Phaze/Velocity vibes with its medium RG and high diff values. Combine that with the unique feature of the REX Pearl cover and you have a very versatile ball that should appeal to bowlers of all styles regardless of rev rate. What really makes the Fate stand out for me is the cover. The REX is proven for being able to handle oil without being too early. Much like in the Dark Code and Infitinite Physix, The Fate does not hesitate in oil down lane the way that pearl balls with weaker covers do. I went with a weaker layout than I typically use on pearl balls of a 5x3x2.5. The shape I see for me is a stronger and smoother Phaze 5. I say "for me" in this review because I feel like the Fate is one of those balls that can look different depending on how you throw it. It could be the most angular ball in the bag for speed dominant players and could also be a rev dominant players go to ball on the fresh when they need to ball to blend a pattern. I see the shape and versatility of the F-8 core being able to appeal to a wide range of players.

Bowler Specs: Right-Handed PAP: 5 3/16 over 3/8 up Rev Rate: 425 Tilt: 9 degrees Rotation: 45-60 Ball Speed: Avg 15.5 MPH at the pins. Review: The Fate is the newest Belmo collaboration with Storm Products. In the past I have not had much success with the previous Belmo balls. This new one comes with a new core wrapped with the ReX coverstock. This ball provides great length, but the ReX cover and core combination read the midlane extremely well and continue through the pins better than any other Belmo ball before it. The layout I used was a 60x3.75x25. I find more use for this ball on conditions with a little more friction or when the lanes start to transition and I need a little more length, and pop on the backend. This will be a great ball for league and tournament bowlers alike. Belmo and the staff at Storm Bowling have hit a homerun with this newest edition. #StormNation #SM2Proshop

Storm Fate - Signature Line Coverstock: ReX Pearl - Reacta Gloss Core: F-8 RG: 2.52 Differential: .053 (15 lbs) Layout: 5 x 6 x 3 PAP: 6" Right, 1 3/8" Up Axis Tilt: 16° Rotation: 51° Rev Rate: 450-500 Speed: 17-18 mph Location: AMF Pin-O-Rama, Utica, NY Pattern: Kegel Main Street V2 The Fate is the latest installment in the Belmo signature series and it was designed to provide increased recovery and allow players of all types to play multiple angles. It shares the same ReX pearl cover as the Night Road, but has the new F-8 core. I have been a fan of the ReX pearl cover and the Night Road is always in my bag, so when I saw this release I was very excited. The Fate will come out of my bag before the Night Road because of the stronger core and its ability to start up sooner. Even though it reads earlier, it still provides great continuation through the pins. If you like the Night Road and are looking for a stronger and smoother reaction, the Fate is the ball you have been waiting for. Stop by your local Storm VIP pro shop to check it out!

Ball Specs: Storm Fate Reacta Gloss ReX™ Pearl Reactive Weight Block: F-8™ Core (Symmetrical) Color: Sapphire Pearl Review: The signature series has always been a very popular series and for good reason. The line continues to put out great products time after time. The Fate is another great piece in that line. Besides being linked to one of the best bowlers in the world this line has produced hit after hit after hit when it comes to bowling balls. The Fate is a ball that loves to get down the lane and make a strong backend motion that many bowlers love to see. Even with that sharp motion this ball can be easily tweaked in terms of surface alteration to make it playable on almost any condition. Besides offering great ball reaction this ball is just stunning to look at. The Sapphire color really pops when going down the lane. Make sure you grab one of these beauties!

Ball Specs: Storm Fate Reacta Gloss ReX™ Pearl Reactive Weight Block: F-8™ Core (Symmetrical) Color: Sapphire Pearl Review: We have been big fans of all the signature releases from Storm. They should be liked well beyond just the Belmo name being slapped on the ball for many reasons. These bowling balls really pack a punch and a unique shape that is not replicated in any other pieces. The all new F-8 Core not only looks great, but also has the highest differential of any signature release meaning more bang for you buck. We recently held a demo at our shop and this was the hottest ball (next to the Zen U of course). Because of the high differential and mediocre RG, this ball is a good mix for any bowler and really fits any type of lane surface. With all of the hype and Belmo really pushing this ball, we are excited for release day!

Ball Specs: Storm Fate Cover stock ReX Pearl Weight Block F-8 Color Sapphire pearl Finish Reacta Gloss Layout 40x3x60 or 3x4.5x2.5 Bowler Specs: Right Hand. PAP 5 3/8 Over 1 down Rev Rate 400/2 Handed Speed at release 16.5 Review: The Storm Fate is the newest Signature line ball in the Storm line up. Storm partnered with Jason Belmonte to create a pearl ball that will get down lane and make the turn the further left you get. For me this ball reminds me of a night road on steroids. This new core has a similar strength to the Velocity core. This ball is a very smooth move off the spot and allows me to throw the ball right. Comparing this ball to the Phaze V, it is going to pick up earlier and have a more gradual move on the backend. This ball is going to be a step up from the Night Road. The Phaze V will be a little sharper on the backend but can't go wrong with it either. Get yours Nov 18th at your local Storm VIP pro shop.

The newest Collaboration between Jason Belmonte and Storm Products is the new Fate! The new Fate features the ReX Pearl Coverstock seen in the Dark Code, Infinite and Night-Road wrapped around the F-8 Core! The new Fate Core is a modification of the Pro Motion to allow more hitting power through the pins with more responsive motion downlane! I drilled is Pin over my Bridge which is standard for me and this ball doesn't disappoint downlane! The Phaze 5 is responsive downlane but can be to forward off the spot when moving left where the Fate has no problem coming around the corner! Get yours at your local Pro Shop 11/18/22!

Storm Fate Layout: 4.5 x 4 x 2 Storm Pin Buffer Layout Rev Rate: 325 rpm, 7 degree of axis tilt, 40 degree of axis rotation Testing information: 41 foot THS (medium to light volume) Bowling Center: Fulton Bowling Center Kegel Machine – Brunswick Anvilane The Storm Fate utilizes the new F-8 Core and REX pearl reactive coverstock. The 6th Edition in the Belmo line – Pro-Motion, Timeless, Drive, Trend, Trend 2 being the others. We tested the Fate against the other new Storm release - the Phase V. We liked what we saw from the Fate. The motion of the Fate was just different enough from the Phase V that you could justify carrying both in your tournament bag. The Fate had a touch earlier breakpoint than the Phase V and a defined motion on the back end of the lane. Overall, I have the Fate slightly stronger than the Phase V, which is not exactly what I expected. The higher RG in the Fate would indicate it being a little longer than the Phase V. The reason it is not has to be the REX pearl cover is stronger than the clean R2S cover. I can see myself using the Fate in Games 3 and 4 of a 4-game league. It is my ball down from the 900 Global Altered Reality. The Storm Phase V is also an option in this ball reaction category. Visit your local Storm VIP Pro Shop! #Stormnation #SquadRG

Layout: 4.5 x 30 (4.5 x 3 x 1.5) Surface: 2000 abralon The new Storm Fate brings the new F-8 core with the REX Pearl coverstock. This combination brings a new look to the Storm Products family with a 2.52 rg and 0.053 differential in a symmetrical ball. I was able to test the Fate on my typical 44ft house pattern as well as 40ft challenge pattern. House pattern test: My first few shots out of the box with the original reacta gloss finish gave me a lot of length and fairly angular backend. Due to my higher speed, I found that the factory finish did not allow the ball to read soon enough on the lane to get the reaction I was searching for. My Phaze 5 is more of my cleaner and angular go to ball for games 2-3 of league. I decided to change the surface to a 2000 abralon to get an earlier hooking reaction with a more continuous backend. This shape would put the Fate as a step down from the infinite physix and a step up from the Phaze 5. I was able to get the ideal ball reaction at this surface. It's a cleaner infinite physix with a more continuous shape and it did not disappoint for me. The ball really came around and read the midlane fairly well and still gave me the right shape to strike on the fresh. The cleanliness of the cover actually allowed me to stay in the ball for all 3 games of league whole moving in and still seeing really good shape through the pins. It's definitely one of those cleaner balls for me I can use either on the fresh or during the breakdown. It's a ball that will stay in my bag for a while. The strength of the rex cover can handle more oil with removal of the reacta gloss. I recommend this for anyone who's ball creates too much length or for lower rev rates. Challenge pattern review; The fate on this pattern was a little touchy on the fresh due to the higher volume of the pattern. Even at the 2000 surface, it was a little hard to control on the flatter pattern. Once the lanes broke down for two games, I was able to use the fate with ease. I was able to move left with my feet, open my angles and create a lot of good down lane motion. For these type of patterns, the fate will be a better transition ball then a fresh ball. Bringing the surface to a lower grit can help to use this earlier on the heavier oil patterns. Adam Chase Storm Staff

The all new Storm Fate is the latest and greatest Belmo ball. In my eyes the all new Fate is storm's creation of the original Wolverine. Although the Fate has a slightly lower RG, this ball is going to be an excellent replacement to fans of the Wolverine. Although 900 Global came out with the Dark Moss, I believe with the coverstock and factory finish the Dark Moss is earlier and smoother than the original Wolverine. I truly think that the Fate will be the best Belmo ball yet, go out and get yours today!
