Storm Timeless Bowling Ball

Another great ball added to the storm family.Great colours great design.ball rolls well in the midlane had to make some surface changes to get the ball to roll the way i wanted it to, this ball had no problems getting threw the fronts thats for sure just seemed a little oil senisitive when i tryed using it on the fresh out of the box.I put 2000ab on it and it was alot better still got threw the fronts the same just didnt want to over skid the break point like before,ball has some great carry entry angle isnt to sharp something i like alot.I would like to use this ball when im playing up the lane more on more of those medium patterns.

Definitely a ball that strikes a lot when the lane allows this ball to come into play. Ball is very similar reaction to my Hyroad. Cut cover to 2000 to have it read the middle of the lane like I wanted.

The Timeless was released in February into the new Signature Line from Storm. The Timeless features the Dual Drive weight block surrounded by the R2S Hybrid Reactive coverstock. I went with my favorite layout which is pin below the fingers with the cg kicked out with a weight down at 6 inches. That roughly formulates to 45 X 5.5 X 75 for the dual angle drillers. That is based off my pap which is 5 5/8 over and ¾ up. The Timeless really pushed through the front part of the lane like an IQ30 and read the backend like an original HyRoad. I was able to throw Timeless along with a HyRoad with a similar layout. The noticeable difference is the length of the Timeless Out Of The Box but with a surface change (2000 grit) the Timeless was more responsive than the HyRoad throughout the entire lane. The Timeless before the surface change was really too drastic for me at the break point... The surface change woke up the overall reaction of the Timeless and the over under was nonexistent. The Timeless is the prefect first release for the signature line because of its unique motion. If you liked the HyRoad and looking for something just more than the Timeless is your nugget!

Tester: Jordan Racke Condition: 40 ft house shot PAP: 5 5/8 Right, ¼ down Ball Speed: 16 mph Rev Rate: 450 rpm I decided to drill my Timeless pin up. When looking at different layouts and deciding what I wanted the ball to do, I came to the conclusion that I want something that I could get down the lane and control. I wasn't looking for something too "flippy" and after watching a few friends throw theirs before I got mine, I noticed how much theirs moved as the ball reached the end of the pattern. The Timeless is a perfect ball for many different things. If you want something that is going to get through the front part of the lane with ease and snap hard off the back end, this is the ball for you. If you want something like I did, which is a ball that can get through the front cleanly and have a nice controlled hook off the end that's smooth, it is perfect for that too. With being a two-hander, I can play right with this ball and put some speed into it, or I can go as far left as lofting the gutter and still find the pocket. It might just be a matter of changing up the speed a little as I go left, but this ball can do basically anything you want it to. Another thing I noticed about this ball, is that the longer I throw it, I feel as if the carry gets better. This ball hits so hard no matter where you throw it or how hard you throw it. It may just be me, but I can have a very light pocket hit and the pins explode as if it was a flush pocket shot. If you are looking for a good ball that will get through the front and mid lane with ease and punish the pocket, the Storm Timeless is the ball for you!!

When the Hyroad was first released from Storm in 2008, it quickly became one of my favorite balls, especially late in blocks. A piece of my heart still remains with the Hyroad because it still goes almost everywhere with me, but the Timeless might be the new Buzz Lightyear if you will (sorry , the twins are watching more Toy Story these days). A collaboration with our genius minds at Storm and currently the best player in the world have developed a home run addition to our line, the Timeless. Using the Hyroad cover with a new designed core, the Timeless is a ball for all types of players. I think the Timeless reads the lane earlier than the Hyroad because of the strength of the core, but still goes through the pins like the Hyroad. I've drilled two so far and the first one is mapped out as 4 ½ x 4 ¼ with a small hole on my axis. I've also taken the surface down to 2000 to slow down the response time. This one goes everywhere with me. The second one I drilled is mapped out as: 5 ¼ x 4 with a hole under my axis. This Timeless is much cleaner and has a faster response time because of the distance from my PAP. My favorite layout in the Hyroad was when we drilled through the middle finger and that's how this Timeless is mapped out as well. I've also knocked this one down to 3000 and I expect to use this one when there is a good amount of friction much later in blocks. I think this ball has lived it up to its hype! Go drill one! #StormNation

Rev Rate: 400 Ball Speed: 17.3 Axis Tilt: 7 Axis Rotation: 45* PAP: 3 3/4 horizontal, 7/8 up Layout: 40 x 4 x 50 This ball is good. It has it's place in an arsenal and probably can't be used on everything, but make no mistake, it is good. Using it in league, OOB, it took about a game to get a feel for the overall motion. If the ball stood up too fast, it was a flat 10. I could actually tell at the release. If I got around it, there were no 10s. Maybe a 4, 9, or 8, but no ringing or flat 10s... After 3 games, I really liked this ball. In a local tourney, on 39' Viper, after two games, I was able to use the Timeless to play the shim and had so much room, it make me look good. I had miss left and right and the only way I didn't hit the hole was if I rolled it horrible. Looks like it was good for sport patterns too... Needless to say, the Timeless goes to every league session and tournament. I've been impressed with some aspect of this ball every time I've used it.

The new Storm ball in the signature line is Belmo's Timeless. Storm has done its homework in the research and development of the Timeless. Along with the insights from Belmo. I drilled mine 4.25x4.25x4.5 or 45x4.25x75 pin down. Let me just mention that the Timeless is just different. The ball reaction is unique, nothing like any other ball that I have drilled. For some its the biggest backend ball that they have drilled. For others it is nice controlled arcing motion. Which what I have with the timeless. The timeless just goes through the pins the right way, which gives you great carry. You don't have to be a high rev player to throw the Timeless, at the Storm Match Maker events it was our most popular ball from all styles. Brian Watson Storm/RG Pro Shop Staff

Ball: Storm Timeless Specs: 1500 grit AB with factory polish with a 5 x 4 x 3 layout Lane info: HPL installed in early 2000's and using KEGEL Flex with Fire/Ice combo w/ defense – C cleaner What I Liked: The ball was really "easy" to read when it went through the 2 transitions from front to back of the lane. I was expecting a "BIG" pearl piece, but was more like a Hy-Road to me but with more hitting power into the pocket. Definitely hardest hitting SYM core ball I ever used. Great benchmark pearl ball for anyone outside of super speed dominate players. Easy on the eyes to watch the movement and can make those little adjustments like launch angles, adjustment left or right on the approach, etc.. Works better on HPL then SPL just because the friction difference if the lane panels. I can see why this ball is selling out. By far the best Pearl SYM core ever produced by Storm since the Hy-Road was introduced almost 8 years ago.

TIMELESS What a great piece for the first release in the Signature line. THIS BALL IS INCREDIBLE!!!!! It's a Hyroad on juice. And the shelf appeal is absolutely one of the best looking balls ever!! (But my favorite color is blue) I drilled two of them, but the one in the review is 5x5x2. I bowled on a fresh 39' house shot with ths layout, I could do anything my game allows me to do. I could go straight up the boards or I could get in and cover half of the lane. Someone with a lot of hand will have all of the lane. The Timeless is as clean if not cleaner than the Hyroad, but the back end motion is so much stronger. For me this Timeless had recovery from everywhere. Sometimes for me the Hyroad got a little squirrelly on wet dry patterns, but the Timeless with the dual weight block seems to blend those type of patterns out. As more games were bowled I could keep moving left and the backend motion was just as strong as ever. This Timeless ball will be a great house shot ball and as clean as it is through the fronts, I think it'll be an even better sport shot ball. Great job by Jason Belmonte and everyone else involved...

Orientation: Right Handed Rev Rate: 375 RPM Speed: 16-17 MPH PAP: 4 5/8 straight across Location: Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO Pattern: High Volume THS Layout: 40, 4 ¾ , 70 WOW, the Timeless is a head turner on the lanes and in the bag. This ball clears the fronts easily but the new Dual Density Core creates a surprising amount of midlane motion and smooth continuation! Normally with a ball this clean in the fronts I would expect to see boomerang off the backend, but the Timeless hits the dry much more controlled and keeps on hooking! I feel like I can use this ball on fresh, medium and dry! The Timeless is truly a benchmark piece!

The Timeless is the first release in Storm's Signature line, and was developed in collaboration with Jason Belmonte. This is a very unique and polarizing ball. The design intent was for 2 handed bowlers or very high rev rates, and I can't imagine a more perfect reaction for the 600 club. If you have a high rev rate, this is likely to be one of the best reactions you've ever had. It gets down the lane with ease, and has an extremely strong move on the backend. It's a ball you can move extremely deep with, project firmly and watch it scream on the backend, losing no energy on the turn. For lower rev rates, it's still going to be in play provided you have enough oil in the heads, it's very strong off the friction and reacts best from bigger or deeper angles. It's a deceptively strong ball, it needs no help from a layout to get it to move, and pin down or smoother layouts actually work best with the Timeless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOmffx9lsUs

Layout: pin below bridge, cg kicked out to the right an inch of grip line Condition: 40 ft ths hpl lane beds. This is another masterpiece by storm. When I drilled this ball I wanted something that would get down the lanes and was controllable, nothing to herky jerky. This ball really delivered. I could play incredibly straight with piece or slow hook the entire lane if need be. I could me using this ball on a more medium condition. This ball is absolutely stunning with an arrangement of colors, gold, purple, silver and navy. With an aromatherapy fragrance this balls shelf appeal is a real winner. The time and effort that Belmo and the team put into the piece will make it "timeless". This ball is available now, go out and see your local pro shop today you won't be disappointed. If your in the Evansville,IN area go by and see Nick Austin at The Bowling Place located in Arc Lanes for all your bowling needs.

This ball will get very clean through the heads and have a nice continuous motion off the backend. I used a 4x4x3 layout which is good for strokers or tweeners. The hitting power of this ball is phenominal as if you are anywhere near the pocket the carry percentage is high. This ball will be a good option for those in league on a THS (Typical House Shot) or after a few games of burn on a sport pattern. I see this ball being a great fit for me on sport patterns during games 3/4 and on as I will need a ball that gets through the heads cleanly yet finish strong in the backend. This is a great option to have in your arsenal.

The Timeless bowling ball is an amazing bowling ball. My PAP is 11/16 x 4 5/8. I drilled my Timeless 4x4x2. I wanted an all-around aggressive layout so that I can play multiple angles and multiple patterns. Well I must say I got what I was looking for and then some. I play 30 to 7 and sometimes I can play 35 to 7. I have missed inside around the 12 board and the read this ball gave me was incredible. When the Timeless came off the corner at around 5 to 7 she did not have an uncontrollable hook but an aggressive, strong and predictable hook. When I missed inside the ball actually had the mind to sit and wait and the reaction was amazing. She sat till the backend but did not overly snap but read the lane well and hit the pocket as if she came off the corner. The Timeless keeps the pins low and has amazing pin reaction no matter what angle you play from. This ball is a must for tournament play and leagues.

The Timeless is a Belmo and Storm collaboration that combines the R2S hybrid cover with the all-new Dual-Drive core. This mix offers a powerful mid-to-high RG core, with a very clean yet controlable cover. I drilled my Timeless 4.75 x 55 and no weight hole, which puts the pin under my ring finger and the CG above my thumb. The R2S hybrid coverstock on the Timeless is the same tried and true cover that is featured on the Hyroad (Belmo's all-time favorite ball). It is noticeably cleaner than the Snap Lock at the same surface, but that's not to say that it's weak. It has a lot of "Controllable backend. " In my ball motion video, I compared the Timeless to the Code Black, and for me, the Timeless was stronger by about 5 boards. I see the Timeless being the perfect fit for when your high-end benchmark ball, like the Phaze II or Haywire, have started rolling out and you need to save more energy for a larger move down lane.

I recently drilled up the new Storm Timeless. My layout was 60x5x30 this ball is very clean in the front part of the lane. Gives you a great look in the mid lane like and IQ and still has a strong backend motion. This was the same layout I used on my Phaze II and compared too my Phaze II this ball looks great when you need to step left and get that little extra. This is a great addition to the Storm product line and a great choice to add to your bag.

Everything is so good. I really recommend this ball. I think this is the best ball for 2hands. track line is stable. thie is my test video https://youtu.be/My5_er8xGXE
