    You can't go wrong with this ball. Smells great. Predictable roll and hook. You can play different angles and lines into the pocket. I can also use this to shoot 10 pins. I bowl on wooden lanes. Practiced on synthetic and had to play straight up b/c it would not grab the lane until it flipped over. If you buy one, you won't go wrong.

    This ball is awsome i've shot my high game with it of 289 and i love it. i started bowling MJMA (michigan junior masters association) and this ball has helped my average hop alot. if the lanes are moving fast rip this ball right down second arrow and let the ball shread the rack! This ball will be a great add in to your bowling game. It is my strong piece, i alos have a intense inferno, a super charge, and a big hit, all which help my game. This ball has reinforced the fact that i love bowling more than anything else. when i bought this ball i never saw it used or anything i just knew i needed one and it was a great decision on my part... i recomend this ball for anyone who wants to step up their game and add 10 pins or more to their average.

    A friend of mine is quitting bowling for awhile and bought this ball from him for $75. Best investment ever. The ball is drilled with my ring finger through the pin. I never thought anything would be meaner than my Ultimate Inferno but it is. It seems like the heads don't exist with this ball. Every bit of energy is stored up for the backend and right when it reaches, it smokes and screams for the head pin. Hits really hard and sends messengers everywhere. Rarely get tapped. Now it's time to waste space so I can reach 100 words.

    A friend of mine did not like the way this ball reacted so I traded him with a ball that did not react well for me ( Brunswick Blazing Inferno). I drilled this ball with the Pin above the fingers and the CG to the right and the RAD kicked out to about 5 o'clock. The ball gets through the heads well and on clean back ends did not make the sudden jump. It had a nice transistion to the pocket. I had 2 sets on this ball before it knocked down all 10 pins for 12 straight times. This ball has it's time on the lane and then as most balls put it away when the heads start to go. I am glad that I picked this ball up. Thanks Tommy.

    This ball moves, strong backend finish. Hits hard, really hard. Color is nice and keeps my bag smelling good. This ball is great for medium oil, smooth through the heads, gets the roll, and a strong hook to the pocket. Light hits carries and also the brooklyns. On medium oiled lanes, you can use it the whole night. Game of 237,215,222 second time using the ball. Since I got the BULLY And BIG BULLY, this is the ball I go to for lighter oil now, but it's still a great ball. This is the first Storm ball I got and I love it.

    I thought when I got this it would be stronger than the Original X-Factor. --- "NOT" --- As it turns out I use this as my light oil ball. I had this ball drilled just like my X-factor but it just doesn't have the same strength on the back end, weaker hit and finish. Not sure if it was the cover or the inverted weight block, but either way it just did not cut it. It does work well when I bowl on wood lanes that are breaking down. 100 words 100 words 100 words 100 words 100 words 100 words 100 words 100 words 100 words 100 words

    If you have a lot of disposable income, I would suggest getting three to four of these balls...per season. Use each ball for ten weeks and then use it for 7 and 10 pin spares or put it on the rack at the bowling establishment you frequent. The kids that use it for Cosmic Bowling will love the smell. I am going to write a letter to Storm, I find this type of ball development unacceptable...and quite pricey to be honest. Maybe I can sell it on Ebay for $50 bucks and get some beer frame money...wait, I'll be rid of this ball and I won't keep losing beer frame! EDIT: I have put my letter on hold, we'll see how this ball holds up. Mayber I can get another 30 games out of it

    I bowled with it in a collegiate on the IBC world champioship shot, the ball was dead inside of 8 but outside of 8 if u did not have the right speed it was going threw the beak. I was really not to enthuastic about this ball. I drilled up up to be very aggresive, it did not suprise me what so ever. I am thinking about switching over to the deisel hammer serious. I have seen very good reviews on the turbo diesel. I think it will do better then this ball. I was kinda of excited when i got this ball but like i said it was nothing worth getting excited over.

    The ball was drilled with the pin over the index finger and the CG kicked out and the RAD to the left of the thumb. The ball rolls down the lane in an even arc. The ball still hits hard even with a weaker drill. I was having problems with the nine pin but since we played with the drillings of this the nine pin is no more the problem. Great control withthis ball. Great hit and pin mix withthe lighter shots. I have had all the X-factors and this is a perfect compliment with the others. As with most balls they have thier purpose on the lanes and conditions. If the oil is heavy put this away. If the oil is gone put it away. But if you find just the right amount put your self into the brackets and take the peoples money.

    This ball is simply amazing. I bought it used from a right-hander with about 12 games on it. We plugged it and it was working good . We turned the pin spotter on and hit like the first 8, but one of them was a brooklyn. The only thing that killed me was when the lane conditions started to break down i left 3 seven pins. and 3 seven pins will be the difference between a 199 and a 232. It was not the balls fault. It bailed me out a few times by hanging in the oil when a shanked the ball and grabbing some dry outside balls when i threw it a little too far out. This ball is sick like vomit.

    Ball works like a miracle, I've used it on several types of oil patterns and it works great on all of them. Leaves a few 10 pins but I can't complain. Dry Lanes gotta shot across the lane, heavy oil gotta start near the gutter. My average was a 170 before this and now it's up to a 195. Ball takes time to get used to, I had trouble the first few games and once I got used to the way the ball reacted, I moved to a new line and it was a good choice. People were shocked seeing a 14 yr. old kid throwin' 220's+.

    TO THE PEOPLE THAT THINK THIS BALL IS TOO AGGRESSIVE LOOK AT YOUR DRILLING I DRILLED THIS AS STRAIGHT UP AS POSSIBLE AND IT GET DOWN THE LANE AND HAS A HARD ARC TO THE POCKET. I USED THIS IN A TOURNEY IN PA FOR 10 GAMES STRAIGHT ACROSS 5 DIFFERENT PAIRS AND JUST CONITUED TO CHANGE MY HAND POSITION WITH GREAT RESULTS. FINISHED 10 OUT OF 120 BOWLERS AND I WAS THE FOURTH LOWEST AVG. IN THE TOURNEY. DRILL YOUR EQUIPMENT CORRECTLY AND THIS BALL IS ONE OF THE BEST ON THE MARKET.AVG FOR THE TOURNEY WAS 228 ON HEAVY OIL PATTERN

    Very versatile. I've thrown it on many different conditions with good results. Like the color. So far, I've used it on house, sport and US Open patterns. Each required a different angle. But once I was lined up, the ball was very predictable. The backend isn't too sharp, so it's also controllable. All in all a great ball. one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words.
