Storm PowerBolt Bowling Ball

Got this ball back on my 19th birthday, heard from a friend that It was really good so my 'rents picked one up for me. Just to mildly I was terribly disappointed. Sure, it smelled very nice, but the ball itself didn't do anything. It rolled early but never hooked in the back end when it was drilled for maximum hook. Even when the ball did get to the pocket it didn't do anything. When you're leaving 5-7-10's and 7-10's in the pocket you really start to wonder about the ball. I would sell this ball in a heartbeat If I could find anyone who would actually buy it.

Thanks for reading my review. This ball worked best for me on a fresh house shot with medium/light oil and clean backends. The polished surface of the ball promotes plenty of length with a smooth arc to the pocket on this condition. Great carry too. If the backends are dry enough, it will probably snap for you. I haven't encountered that condition yet so I don't know for sure. It didn't recover very well when there was carrydown oil. This ball was more speed sensitive compared to other Storm balls too. Unless you can put a lot of revs into the ball, don't try to fire the ball too fast or it will finish weak. I never had any problem with this ball overhooking for me, that's for sure! Storm says this ball is for medium/heavy conditions. I disagree. My El Nino Gold and Boost both hooked 10-15 boards more than the PowerBolt. Perhaps it would work on the heavier oil if it was sanded. If you want a ball that hooks out of the house, look elsewhere. If you want a ball that is pretty easy

great ball overall with good control, hitting power and excellent control. When the lanes areflooded it tends to skid. Works on any type of lane condition but works at its best on the medium oiled lanes. it is one ball that will work straight out of the box.The ball is more consistent and easy to control when polished because the polish gives the ball more consistent roll down the lane and to help in the control of the pin action.Overall a excellent ball that arc or snap depending on delivery style and hits consistently but it does have tendency to roll out sometimes.

This is a ball that I don't use very often. Although this does not mean I do not like cause I do. I have found this ball works great on a reverse block. I have mine drilled stack leverage. When the lanes are really scorched you can still use this ball. I bowl tounaments were I am in the second squad and there are many times when the lanes are tottally scorched I can still throw this ball with no problem. Like I said before this ball does not like oil at all. I do not reccomend getting this ball if it will be the only on you own. This ball also goes well with the Eraser.

Topweight-2.64 Weight-15pd Pin-4 inchs Drilled-pin 1 inch above the middle finger and cg sitting in hand, weight hole 1/2 wide and 2 inches deep Factory finished Lane Condition-House shot moderate oil in between the 4 board and to the 36 board with outside 3 boards being soaked to no other length of the oil is to 30ft buffed to 35ft. I start by standing on the 25 board and roll to the 10 board and it rolls out to the 5 board and has a smooth roll to the pocket. Like to cup my wrist with this ball and watch it fly and cross a lot of boards when the lane gets dry, because of its perlized cover stock, which makes it go extra long and more roll on the backend. Lane Condtion-sports shot-flooded on outside middle is just a little less but not much diffrence, 38foot pattern, miss mark to left you were screwed missled right pray for a broycklyn (we are talkin 1/2 board). Started off by standing on 22 board laying the ball down at 10 board with a atempt of swinging the ball, but the
