Storm Super Nova Bowling Ball

The 3 latest Storm releases will create instant versatility in your bag and cover a variety of bases for any lane condition. The Super Nova is the strongest of the 3 designed for heavy oil conditions. The Night Road and Phaze 5 are designed for those medium conditions. For those that enjoyed the Proton Physix the shape seen from the Super Nova will be comparable. When battling heavy oil and/or tight conditions the Super Nova will be an excellent selection to manage that environment. The Super Nova has one of the strongest covers Storm manufacturers and compliments this core very well. There is plenty of control with this high end asym and would be a cleaner option against the Gem which is earlier with more arc. The Night Road which boasts a higher RG will be good for those early hooking surfaces early on or as a step down off the bigger balls like the Super Nova. I see this ball fitting in my bag on the early hooking surfaces so I can keep everything in front of me early on without giving away the pocket. I have found the sanded finish provides plenty of blend off the backend as opposed to the stronger angular shapes we seen from the Hy-Road Pearl. Also, do not be afraid to polish this ball to create a longer more angular shape. The Phaze 5 like the other Phaze balls does not disappoint. a direct replacement for the 4 the 5 provides plenty of continuation down lane when making its move off the spot. This ball will go with me everywhere I bowl and be that step down ball off the bigger asym or solid sym's. When you are looking to start creeping in and opening those angles up this ball will be one of your best assets.

The Super Nova is a strong-rolling, oil-eating, pin-crushing machine - period! With its winning combination of the Ignition Core and NeX Solid Reactive Coverstock, the Super Nova delivered some incredible results on a THS. So, let's break it down and take a closer look! The Ignition Core is a robust asymmetrical weight block that produces an intense amount of energy. In addition, I liked how the unique design of the Ignition Core allows it to rev strongly in the mid-lane and build momentum as it rolls towards the pocket. Compared to other large asymmetrical cores, that may tend to be lazy and take their time to stand up. I loved how the Ignition Core makes a decisive turn off the pattern and explodes through the pins. And lastly, as a straighter player, I need the security of a strong, predictable, and continuous asymmetrical core. And the Ignition Core provides that comfort exceptionally well! The NeX Solid Reactive coverstock makes the Super Nova the strongest hooking ball I have rolled this year. The NeX Solid coverstock loves fresh oil and excels in its ability to carve a path through the pattern as it heads down lane. While other heavy oil, solid coverstocks tend to run out of gas, then deflect off the five pin and leave a ringing ten. The NeX Solid has a powerful continuation through the pins and leaves no prisoners behind! Finally, being a high-speed, low-rev player, I loved moving in and opening my angles with extreme confidence. The NeX Solid coverstock allowed me to roll the Super Nova far out to the right and not worry if it was coming back. Because the Super Nova turns left and turns hard! In conclusion, the Super Nova is a great new release from Storm! Whether you are a down-and-in player or a high–speed /low-rev player, the Super Nova is an excellent choice for fresh THS conditions. And for those bowlers looking to bowl in their State Tournaments or those wanting to bowl the National Tournament, the Super Nova is the heavy oil choice for your arsenal. So, talk to your local pro shop operator today and have a Super Nova ready to roll! It is well worth it! Rick Klimowicz Storm Products Pro Shop Staff Roll the Ball Pro shop Penndel, PA

Storm Super Nova Layout: 5 x 4 x 2 Storm Vector Layout Rev Rate: 325 rpm Testing information: 41 foot THS (medium to light volume) Bowling Center: Fulton Bowling Center Kegel Machine – Brunswick Anvilane The Storm Super Nova utilizes the new Ignition Core and the NEX Solid reactive cover. We tested against the original Storm Nova, which was a hybrid. The Storm Super Nova is impressive. It is quickly becoming one of my favorites the more I throw it. I like the versility and how easy it is to control the pocket with it. The Super Nova was a touch earlier than the Nova but still had continuation on the backend. The Super Nova will be my No. 1 (first ball used on heavy oil) in my 6-ball arsenal. #Stormnation

Super Nova review Another new release I was excited to get my hands on. The Nova is a ball I have several of, so this one was definitely one to look forward to. It is strong, as expected. What I didn't expect was how much it continued on the back of the lane. On THS, strong asymmetrical solids roll great for me, but have a tendency to burn up, especially if I get it right. Out of the box, I was able to use it my first night of league and was immediately impressed. The ball rolled great through the oil, stronger than my Gem, but still hit hard if I got it to the dry. On the burn after league I was able to get way left of my comfort zone and still have a good look. Definitely something else I don't normally have when I lose my look. This ball will be getting plenty of use this season. Can't wait for some longer pattern events.

The Super Nova is the new big ball on the block. Featuring the very strong NEX Solid cover, this ball feels like a step up from the 900 Global Reality. The Nova core makes this ball backend and continue a lot, where balls like the Proton Physix and Gem get more forward and straighten out on the back part of the lane. The Reality was the first solid asym we saw that really continued through the pins, and the Super Nova feels like a step up from that. NEX Solid is stronger and earlier, but the Nova core helps this ball still split the 8-9 even from deeper/bigger angles. Chase Valenzuela YouTube Channel: Millennium Bowling Supply

The Storm Super Nova is the newest ball in the premier line. This ball has the same coverstock as the Proton Physix and Axiom. This ball reminds me of a 900 Global Reality just not as responsive. The Super Nova gave me a look that was Cleaner than other big balls and still responded off the dry vs burning up like other big solids. This ball will be able to be used on a variety of conditions and patterns. This ball is about 4-5 stronger than the Nova and has a better response off of the friction.

Layout: 30 x 4.5 x 30 Surface: Box Surface The Super Nova brings back the Ignition Core from the original Nova with the NEX Solid Coverstock from the Proton Physix. The first thing I can say about this ball is STRONG! This ball definitely needs a good amount of oil to be most successful. Normally, these type of balls are not in my current arsenal because of my high rev rate and will not be for regular league play. The Super Nova was essentially too early and overall too strong to get the best reaction through the pins. It actually forced me to be so far left with my feet, that its carry percentage decreased. If I wanted to use this consistently for league play, I would actually use polish on the surface to promote more length and a slightly more angular backend for better overall ball reaction. Although, this is not the best ball for my style for league play, it comes in handy a lot in tournaments where there is generally significant more oil volume and generally longer lengths. I have used the original Nova a lot in tournaments to blend out harder oil patterns and to create straighter angles. The Super Nova will be no different here but allow me to move further left on the lane where the original Nova did not allow me to. The added strength of the coverstock allows me to move into the heavier volumes of oil without losing its backend reaction. Comparative to the Proton Physix, I saw earlier and stronger overall motion. Where the Proton Physix did not hook as much, the Super Nova continued through the pin deck well. I will continue to use the Super Nova primarily in tournament play, especially on longer and heavier oil patterns. Adam Chase Storm Staff

Storm Super Nova features the Ignition Core that was found in the Nova, RG 2.49, 0.052 Diff and PSA 0.019, and is wrapped around the NEX Solid cover and finished at 2000 grit. I drilled mine 5 x 5.5 x 2 which is also the same way I drilled my Nova. I have thrown this ball a couple times now and I've been really impressed with the reaction of this ball. I first used it at the RPI Regional the last 3 games of qualifying and actually blended out the entire lane. Next time I threw it on the house shot and I was still super impressed because it didn't burn up and plaque nor did it overreact when I got it to the dry super quick. This ball will be a very versatile piece in my bag because I will be able to use it after my Proton Physix on longer patterns and those medium length heavier volume patterns. To sum up this versatile ball, I would say a stronger Phaze 2 type of reaction.
