    <p>The X-Factor Deuce was one of my first bowling balls from storm and is currently my oldest ball. The ball has a really nice reaction when polished but if its dull has no length at all. When pollished this ball will just continue to roll with alot of length down about 8 board and then has a very strong arc back to the pocket with a lot of power going into the pins this ball is good for all bowlers and i strongly recomend that you try and get your hands on one.</p><p></p><p>Well done another great ball by storm.</p>

    This ball is one of the elite balls of the master line from storm. It has no skid issues whatsoever on the lane. No amount of oil on the outer 8 boards will keep the deuce from coming back. A lack of bowling mechanics could cause your team to lose the championship. I will reccomend this ball only to those who have the ability to throw a ball with force. and do not reccomend this ball to any novice bowler. Please proceed with caution. a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a

    For the price I paid, I expected my game to improve dramatically, unfortunately I'm still languishing in the sub 160's and I am in jeaopardy of costing my entire team a championship. Not to mention that I have an ongoing weekly deal where I can make $5 for every 180+ I throw and have yet to throw one thru 21 games. I've been to chiropractic therapy which hasn't helped, bought a spare ball which is basically worthless because I leave un-makeable spares and now the Deuce which rolls straight and narrow wherever I throw it with barely any hook and when I do have a hook it rolls out and misses the head pin. I may have to contemplate another sport entirely...

    By Far A great ball, i have over 500 games on it and its workin mint. At around 200games teh reaction died down, but i sanded it down to 220 and it works better then ever w/o over hooking. I dont like shooting this ball over 4 or even 3rd arrow in, but straight out to 1-2 arrow the ball works the best i think. This ball has really progressed me as a good bowler, and im proud making this review! ! ! ! 1 aq a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a

    Great ball... served me and still held in high respect but a little disappointed i didnt spend the cash but decided to penny pinch and get a BLEM :(( Still Storm are the best.. Now moved on to the Fear Factor to progress and have the Duece in my bag drilled as agressive as possible to hit those lanes during stupid conditions. Would have loved to see what a Duece would have held up like brand new.. I wish Storm would put a note with each Blem telling you what the fault is.. Build up Storm balls in my arsenal and burn up the lanes!!

    The ball seems to be one of storm's best in the business because the X-Factor line seems to be a winner with bowlers even though they are for medium conditions, they seem to play great in heavy oil as well. This ball hits with a bang and turns the corner extremely well and angular at the break point as it also reads the lanes extremely well. It can seem to handle many conditions that it can be played on, use it on dry lanes for the really big turn and hit, oh boy, will it ever hit hard destroy them faster than a heartbeat.

    This ball is great. I drilled the ball leverage with 3/4 oz. side. For a long time I have been throwing coast to coast with this ball sanded. Then I started really working on my approach I got my speed up so the ball would hook into the pocket playing more straight up the boards at 10-15. Unfortuntly this ball just over hooked it would either go through the face or go brook. I polished the ball up on a spinner and went back to the lanes. It was like a new ball. I could hit 13 straight up all day it didn't matter how hard I ripped this ball it was right there in the pocket.

    I got this ball for free off of my grandfather and man does it work good. I have this ball drilled with 4 1/2" pin and maximum hook mass-bias. MAN DOES IT HOOK. About 95% percent of time I hit the pocket, it carries. The only problem I really have with this ball is sometimes even with oil I can't control it. Most of the time though I have no problems with this ball. The major problem with this ball is if you think you can get it to work on any condition you're wrong. This ball is definitely not meant for dry lanes. Besides that, it's an excellent ball for anybody.

    i love this ball when im playing on wood lanes it works so good but i rarly ever bowl on wood lanes.this is a very high stricking ball but it died on me pretty quik . once i get it resurrfaced it was like new again i constantly have to clean the ball because it picks up alot of oil. i have been dissing on this ball alot but i really like it when the time is right. dont let a great ball that gets dirty fast stop you from buying it because it is a great ball. storm is the best company and i will always buy from them

    this was my greatest ball, my 300 ball for 3 times and now it has died. i tried to bring it back but it just wont work. i dont know what to do with it. now a days it just sits i my four ball bag roller ready to come out if lanes actually get that toasted. works as a great spare ball even though i can simply throw any ball at the 7. such a shame that one of my most favorite balls ever had to do. maybe it should go do the greave and be like the big blue and come back from " hell". oh well i guess it can only wait till it is its time to come back

    And Saint Attila raised the Deuce up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this Thy Bowling Ball that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine pins to tiny bits in Thy mercy.' This ball is Drilled with the Eric Forkel drill, Storm's Layout number 2, with the Rad in position B.. Its a 15lb halfweight, which means its like 15lbs 6oz. Right! I bought this ball about 1 month after I got my X-Factor. I wanted something for heavier conditions, and did not want to go with a particle ball, as well as stay in line with my X-Factor in buying a half-weight ball. The ball rolls a bit earlier than the X-Factor, and is a little more what i'[m used to from Brunswicks stuff..... but, its still goes much longer than I am used to.. When I first got the ball, It really didn't do too much. I was kinda disappointed that I got it set up wrong. The backend reaction was rather weak, and spending 89.00 dollars, I was shocked :) I took it back to my driller, got it sanded to 600 grit, and played with it for

    I have only owned 3 balls, this one by far is the best. It hits hard and carries through. I have never gotten splits that I did not deserve and I get tremendous pin action. I came the closest I have ever come to bowling a 300 with this ball (263), but that was my fault (got nervous)I clean the ball every night and use Neo-Tac renew-it after about 20 games. I am standing in the exact same spot with this ball that I have since learning to use. I may change for lane conditions, but that is a given. I would recommend this ball to anyone. I agree with most others that this ball does not like dry or wet lanes, but everything in between the ball works perfect.
