Storm Proton Physix Bowling Ball

(65 reviews) Write a Review
t's really no surprise why the PhysiX and AstroPhysiX have been wildly popular ever since their respective debuts. After all, the PhysiX offers one of the shapeliest reactions available, and the AstroPhysiX follows it up with stellar performance when the pattern opens up, and more length and backend are required. But until now, there really hasn’t been a PhysiX truly suited for heavy oil. Well, consider the problem solved! The Proton PhysiX is here to give you traction and hook on virtually any heavy oil condition imaginable. STRONG JUST GOT STRONGER. NRG™ has become a staple in Storm’s lineup of coverstocks for nearly a decade. It’s due time for an upgrade! NeX (Nano Extreme) is Storm’s earliest reading cover to date. NeX Solid 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! Wow.

    <p>As much as I loved the original PhysiX (I&#039;ve owned four of them!), I never thought that I&#039;d ever say the words &quot;PhysiX upgrade&quot;... but yet here I find myself, saying this about the new Proton PhysiX! This provides an extremely familiar feel in shape to the original PhysiX and the AstroPhysiX, while also providing an upgrade in both traction and control over the PhysiX thanks to being wrapped in the same NeX Solid coverstock as the Axiom. If you need traction and hook in heavy oil... you will NOT be disappointed with the Proton PhysiX!</p>

    If you need a ball to hook in oil, look no further! Not only is the new Proton Physix strong, it continues super well! This ball, although designed for heavy oil can certainly be used on a variety of patterns because of how well it continues. The NEX coverstock first found on the Axiom, is early, strong, predictable and continuous as the theme here. If you need a ball that just flat out hooks or you have the original Physix and need a slightly stronger ball, then this is the answer! The first reviews on this ball has been incredibly positive and outstanding for many different bowler types. For anyone who bowls on sport patterns or in the PBA would surely appreciate this ball as well as these patterns tend to have more overall oil volume. This is a ball that will come with me for most tournaments because of its strength and great versatility. Adam Chase Storm Staff

    Storm's new big Asymmetric bowling ball the brand new Proton Physix! This ball features the NeX Solid Reactive Coverstock wrapped around the Atomic Core! The NeX Solid Reactive was featured In the Axiom and the Atomic Core was featured in the original Physix! My Proton Physics is drilled pin down under my bridge with the Mass Bias away from my thumb! This ball gives me a great option for heavier lane conditions and a ball to just flat out hook! I love the motion of my Axiom but this will give you a more aggressive ball than the Axiom because of the Physix Core being Asymmetric! Head over to your local Pro Shop and get your new hook monster from Storm on 12/4/20!

    I was pretty excited about this release as I had previous success with the original Physix. This iteration of the Physix line combines the Atomic core with the brand new NeX coverstock. We see tons of overall shape and boards crossed with the Proton PhysiX. If you're looking for an asymmetrical hook monster this will be the ball to get your hands on. Comparable to the original Physix this ball will be much sooner and overall and is designed for those upper medium to higher volume patterns.

    The Stats .... Color: Magenta/Black/Violet Coverstock: NeX Pearl Solid Weight Block: Atomic Core Factory Finish: 2000 Grit Abralon Flare Potential: High Radius of Gyration (RG): 2.48 Differential (Diff): 0.053 Intermediate Differential (Diff): 0.017 Fragrance: Frosted Cupcake BOWLER STYLE: RH - Power Stroker Rev Rate: 320 Ball Speed: 15-16 PAP: 4 7/8 right 3/8 up. Layout : 4 1/2 X 4 X 3 My Thoughts.... I mean what can I say about this NeX cover!!!! It is the next level Nano tech and what does that mean?? Ball digs in the oil and HOOKS! By this time you should have already had a chance to throw the Axiom Solid or Axiom Pearl. When I tested this ball I knew from the first shot that it will be a ball used for longer, flatter, or higher viscosity oils. The Proton PhysiX wants to start hooking due to the combination of the Atomic core and the NeX cover. On a THS the Proton I see the ball using its energy early but doesn't burn up and seems to blend the THS Comparing it to my Rubicon I found the Rubcoin to be not as strong as the Proton but responded more off the pattern as the Proton sees the middle of the lane faster than the Rubicon did. I can play the same part of the lane and stand on the same spot and see a difference between these balls' motions. #Storm #VISE #Logo Infusion Staff Member (coupon code HIRSCH 20% off)

    Hook in a box. That's what you'll get with the Proton Physix. I have had huge success with the Protons predecessors. I have multiple 800s with both the Physix and the Astro Physix. Fast forward to the Proton and you have a combination of the Atomic core and the NeX coverstock. I was skeptical that this ball would be even slower than the Axiom due to the bigger weight block. BOY WAS I WRONG. This ball has plenty of giddyup down lane and you won't be disappointed. You'll still find that this ball is weaker than balls such as the Omega Crux and Gravity Evolve. The Proton Physix bridges the gap nicely between our strong symmetrical balls and our huge asymmetrical pieces.

    The Proton PhysiX features the NeX solid coverstock and the asymmetric high torque Atomic core. NeX solid was introduced on the Axiom and is an evolution of the famed NRG cover that's known for its smooth and continuous control. NeX retains those core attributes and adds entry angle, durability, and longevity of reaction. The Atomic core comes in at a 2.48 rg, .053 diff, and .017 split or intermediate differential and is exceptionally dynamic. NeX solid harnesses all that aggression while Atomic gives IT some extra kick. The overall result reminds me a lot of a stronger and more continuous Halo. It'll handle the heaviest volumes out there plus blend friction and avoid burning up or losing energy and is one of the most versatile heavier oil balls I've ever thrown. With 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, I rate the Proton a 10 on hook, a 4 on length, and a 4 on backend strength.

    Orientation: Right Handed Rev Rate: 400 RPM Speed: 16-17 MPH PAP: 4 ½ over and ½ up Location: Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO Pattern: High Volume THS VLS Layout: 5 x 4 x 2 1/2 Dual Angle Layout: 50 x 5 x 40 This ball is special. Physix core and Axiom cover. It hooks early and tries to keep hooking. Most strong asym solids hook early and quit. The Proton is very early but wants to keep going. You definitely need some oil to throw this ball but it retains enough energy to use on a variety of patterns. It will blend out a cliffed house shot and it will pick up in a puddle too.
