    <p>I have had this ball for over a month now, but haven&#039;t really bowled too much with it. My normal house shot has been pretty dry, but finally there was enough oul to test it out in my junior league. I was throwing from about 11 at the arrows to 5 and the ball just drove hard. I left only 1 ten pin and 1 7 pin (thin hit) the entire day. I shot 802, games consisting of 256, 300, 246. This was my first 800 series and my second 300 game. I drilled this ball on layout 4, the ball goes fairly long and snaps very hard at the end. My only suggestion is that you use this ball in oil, don&#039;t take this beast out of its natural habitat!!</p><p></p><p>I am a huge fan of Storm products and hope that every bowler has the opportunity to try out this ball or any of Storms products.</p>

    THE BALL IS THE GREATEST!!! ITS SO EASY TO USE ON ANY LANE CONDITION I KNOW. EVEN ON DRY LANES IF YOU CAN FLATTEN OUT YOUR SHOT A LITTLE BIT!!! NO ONE CAN MAKE A BETTER BALL. THE GREATEST BALL AROUND. I BOWLED 12 IN A ROW TWICE WITH THIS BALL BUT NOT IN ONE GAME. I CANT WAIT UNTIL I GET MY FIRST 300. I HAVE ALREADY BOWLED A 784 WITH THIS BALL!! WHAT A BALL. I DONT THINK THIS BALL WITH EVER BE TOPPED. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ANY BALL TIME THIS BALL. I WAS GOING TO BUY THE FREAK BUT SOMETHING SAID GO FOR THE OTHER BALL AND I LOVE IT!!!

    When I first threw this ball, it wasn't reacting where I usually play, which is outside on the third dot (between second and third arrow). It took me a while to determine where to throw it so that it hits the puddle. That is my only dislike. I had to adjust my approach a lot of times maybe because of my drilling or the wood lanes). Either way, this ball was excellent. When I was playing at a house that was different from my house, people were watching me bowl strikes after strikes and asked what ball I was using. I thank Storm for my scores of 3 games of 259-248-236. I didn't think I could do that, but with this ball, anything is possible. All you have to do is release the ball, and it will do all the work. I recommend this ball to anyone that wants to improve their scores and their bowling carrer.

    I really like this ball. It has a strong comeback into the pocket and hits hard. Nothing like my other balls I have purchased. Storm did a real goo job this time. The way my ball was drilled has a very good skid/flip reaction on the lanes. Like everyone else has said, DO NOT PUT ON DRY LANES!! However, when I first got the ball, I missed my mark by several boards and it still came back to the pocket. Up until I got it, the baddest ball I had was the Track Freak Out Particle. I had yet to see anything. The Storm X-Factor Deuce proved it wrong.

    I just had this ball drilled and went to shoot at a house I have had trouble with over the last month. They have had trouble with their lane machine and have had a very spotty condition. Took me a little while to find the line but once I did I ran off 9 in a row. Then it started turning up early and made a 3-1 move and was right back on. We drilled it up with the Storm #4 setup. This ball is strong. If you put this ball in to a heavy forward roll it is stronger on heavy oil than my response. Come around the side and it flattens out nearly 5 boards. The back end is much stronger than the response, which should be expected as the response turns earlier and tends to scrub some energy. The Deuce absolutely crushes the pins. Everyone in the house knows when I hit the pocket....They can hear the difference! Upping my rating to 10 pins!

    Ball is awesome.....its unbelievable that it hits so hard with such low revs and low speed....I didnt have much oil so I had to start far left and swing it out to the 10 board...but it found the pocket and it was on a search and destroy mission...I had it drilled in the #4 pattern...The ball is 15lbs 5 oz with 3oz of top weight and all I can say is that its the first time I rolled a storm and I am very pleased.....Maybe I will get the X-FACTOR for less oily conditions..... Cant wait to use my new DUECE on some more oil ......

    I have seen and review quite a few balls but this one earns my respect. It has amazing control, fantastic length, a sick yet smooth hook and smells alright too. It has a very solid hit and feels great as it rolls off the hand and down the lane into the pocket. I can tell you that even if you miss your mark you can still pull off a strike because this ball just seems to want to automatically get into the pocket. does tend to leave the ten pin but what can you expect with such a high angled hook. This ball over all is an animal and I recomend it to anyone who is or wants to get serious about bowling.

    Not a bad ball considering its a storm. I have not had good times with storm. This is a very consistant ball. You really do have alot of room to paly in, you can miss the pocket and sometimes you can even get all 10( happend to me 4 times this week). Im glad that it is better that its X factor friend wich was a major dissapointment to me. I would recomend this ball to the people playing in the medium oil to medium-dry conditions. I hope that this ball does not die on my like the other strom balls that I have had in the past. We will wait and see

    I have both balls and this one really seems to suit my bowling style much better than the standard xfactor. I have the ball drilled in drill option 4 with the pin,cg,and rad all about an inch outside of my ring finger the ball rolls with a nice even arc to the pocket and is still driving way hard when it gets there. My first set with this ball was a 210,212,234 for a 656 set. I cant wait to see what happens after i really learn to roll this thing. Best of luck to everyone out there and keep the scores high!!!!

    Great ball. What can I say? Lucky for me this ball was released the same time I got my tax return so I was much less hesitant to wait on buying the ball. After the hype calms down and they bring the New master line ball I very well may consider buying another one. I love my x-factor but I am IN LOVE with the deuce. Finally got over that 750 hump. I used the deuce the first and second games and the X-Factor in the third game....246-252-279 ( Ninth frame tore lane 7 a new butt hole but left an 8 pin ) YUCK!!!!!! If anyone looks at my profile I am a true storm man. I reccomend this ball only for people with a lot of ball speed because if you do not polish this ball it will start turning at the foul line j/j. . .

    THIS BALL WILL BE A GOOD FIT IN THE LINE OF STORM AND WILL MAKE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAPPY AND WILL MAKE A LOT OF YOUR MISTAKES GOOD SHOTS, I DRILLED MY BALL WITH THE PIN ABOVE MY RING FINGER AND THE CG KICKED OUT ABOUT 3 O CLOCK AND THE WEIGHT HOLD ON MY VAL AND KEPT THE MASS BIAS OUTSIDE OF MY HOLE. HIT IT WITH THE 320 600 BROWN STORM POLISH AND THEN HIT IT REAL HARD WITH THE FINESE POLISH AND BURNED IT IN WELL IT IS LIKE A MIRROR. BUT OVER ALL THIS BALL WILL BE A BIG HIT AND MAKE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAPPY TO HAVE THIS BALL IN THERE HAND.

    very god ball. it gets down the lane and has enough power to drive through the hole. I have an x factor pearl and it by far has more power then the pearl. All you need is a little oil and one dry board. Carry down isn't really a problem. The real test was a sport shot . Using a 50 ft flat pattern the ball preformed rather well considering the amount of oil. I would reccommend this ball to any one who is looking for a powerful ball with a predictable rool and an even arch. By far one of the best balls on the market today.

    Just picked this ball up fromt he shopp a couple of days ago couldnt use it at my house because the shot is dry on the outide oily on the inside.So i took it too a house with lots of oil. im a cranker so i threw out to abut the 4th board with quite a bit of revs and the ball came screamin back like a rocket and nearly destroyed the lanes.I didnt think storm could get any better with their equipment, but this is somethin no other company can compete with.the only fault with using this ball is you can't use it on dry lanes otherwise it will hook gutter to gutter,but hey it wasnt made for that .i recomend this to anyone who like raw power and lots of hook i thank you all for my time yours truly, ginuwine
