Storm Phaze 2 Pearl Bowling Ball

Orientation: Right Handed Rev Rate: 400 RPM Speed: 16-17 MPH PAP: 4 1/8 over and 1 up Location: Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO Pattern: High Volume THS VLS Layout: Layout 1: 4 3/8 x 4 x 2 ½ (Pin above bridge) Layout 2: 4 x 4 x 3 7/8 (pin below bridge) Strength Rating (out of 10) : 7 Shape: Skid Snap Best Use: Medium/Heavy Oil Transition The Phaze 2 Pearl is the best pearl Phaze ever released. ALL of the other Phaze Pearls (OG Phaze, Phaze 4, Phaze 5, PHaze AI) all rolled completely differently than the Phaze 2 Solid. Like not even the same family. The Phaze 2 Pearl feels EXACTLY like a Phaze 2 Solid, but just cleaner with more backend. It’s literally the PERFECT Compliment to the Phaze 2 Solid. Absolute homerun no brainer from Storm. If you loved your Phaze 2 Solid but where MEH on the other Phazes, don’t worry, get a Phaze 2 Pearl. You won’t be sorry.

Storm Phaze II Pearl Since 2016 the Phaze II Pearl has been one of Storm's most popular balls so it's only fitting that we now have the Phaze II Pearl and it has been the most requested ball to be made. RG-2.48 Differential -.051 Symmetrical Core Finish-Poweredge The Phaze II Pearl features the velocity core which was used in the original Phaze II wrapped with the new TX 25 Pearl Coverstock. I drilled mine 5x4x2 using the VLS Layout System which gives me a quicker response to the friction so it allows me to open up my angles and create more backend motion. This one is very simple to describe where it fits in the Storm lineup it's built to compliment the goat Phaze II with cleaner motion through the fronts with a stronger motion on the backend. Phaze II will be your start on fresh oil then when you need more length and backend Phaze II Pearl is the choice.

Dual Angle: 55 x 4 1/2 x 25 Storm Vector: 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 1 3/4 Storm says The Phaze II Pearl is what bowlers worldwide have been asking for?? Well they were right, this ball is all you hoped it would be and more. The Phaze II Pearl features the TX-25 Pearl Reactive cover stock wrapped around the classic Phaze II Velocity Core. Upon drilling this ball I was expecting it to be very similar to the Rockstar Amped but this ball stands on its own. The Phaze II Pearl is a bit cleaner and stronger on the back end then the Amped. This ball fits perfectly in the middle of my bag as my strong symmetrical pearl. So far this ball has been great on drier house shots to start or a great option as the lanes start to transition and you need to move left. This ball may be a staple in my bag for a while right next to the original Phaze II. https://youtu.be/1ZUJYKB4BUA?si=uDjqzpNbqEHldSf_

Cover: TX-25 Pearl Reactive Core: Velocity RG: 2.48 RG. Diff.: 0.051 Finish: Power Edge Fragrance: Frosted Cinnamon Roll Storm’s new Phaze II Pearl is a Pearl Symmetrical piece that is good for Medium Volume patterns. PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 380. Speed: 16.5. I drilled this piece with the Pin up between the fingers and CG kicked out 1” from the palm. 5 x 4 x 2 ½. I threw this piece on a Fresh house pattern. Out of Box ball motion was clean through the fronts, started later than the Phaze II Solid down lane, with a strong motion on the backend. I compared this to the Phaze II. Phaze II was 3 - 3 right of the Pearl. It started earlier in the fronts with a smoother motion on the back end. If you like the original Phaze II, the Pearl is a good 2nd ball to go to when the Phaze II is not able to get through the fronts later In the blocks. This piece will be good for all types of styles. Phaze II Pearl fits between the IQ Tour and Phaze II. Check Out the Ball motion Video on my Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16dhzmgoq7/

FINALLY, the Phaze 2 Pearl has arrived! Everyone knows the Phaze 2 solid has solidified its remarkable success on the lanes over the years, and now, it has finally received the long-awaited arrival of its Pearl version. The Velocity Core returns, along with the all-new TX-25 Pearl Cover Stock that is designed to give bowlers the transition and versatility on those demanding medium/heavy oil conditions. With its Power Edge finish and a medium/high flare potential, the Phaze 2 Pearl gives a controllable backend, leading to striking results! The same colors from the solid return as well. Ball layout: pin up 70 x 5 3/8 x 40. Like most fresh conditions, pearls tend to be super clean through the front part of the lane. What I found more impressive is that the pearl version can be a bit more responsive in the friction and not overreact mid lane. Less angular, much smoother, something that tends to be rare when throwing pearl equipment. Moving across the boards with my feet once the transition opened up, the Phaze 2 pearl starts to give that proper ball motion just as you would see with the solid that all bowlers knew and love. The Phaze 2 Pearl is a well-deserved compliment and gives a great 1-2 punch to go with your Phaze 2 solid. If you were a fan favorite of the solid, then the Pearl should definitely be in your bag! Be sure to head to your local Storm VIP Pro Shop and drill up a Phaze 2 Pearl today! You won’t be disappointed!!

Ball Specs: Storm Phaze II Pearl Coverstock: TX-25™ Power Edge Pearl Reactive Core: Velocity™ (Symmetrical) Color: Red/Blue/Purple Review: The worst kept secret of the last few weeks! This is a BIG release for many reasons… First, the Phaze II is probably the GOAT so coming out with a pearlized version has some very big shoes to fill and some questions that come along with it as well. First, no this is not the same as the original Phaze II with some polish on it. The shape is still cleaner, more angular, and not as much overall hook. This is also not a reboot of the Phaze AI. The Phaze AI ball didn’t really stick with many people. The shape seemed a bit unpredictable, and the ball never really fit in some people’s arsenal so we were happy to see them go without the AI core on this new piece and go back to its old roots like the Phaze II. We drilled this ball with our normal layout: tweener, 350-375 revs, 16.5mph, layout of choice is 4x4x2 (pin is above bridge). We will say out of all the variations of the original Phaze II this is the closest/most complimenting to it. The original and the new pearl Phaze II are the biggest 1-2 punches and the most bang for your buck as far as usable pieces on a variety of patterns. You can survive an entire league season with these 2 pieces. They really are that versatile. And when the pattern doesn’t allow you to throw the original Phaze II anymore, the Pearl version is the perfect go to. We don’t think this will hurt the sales or kill the original Phaze II. They are very different and can coexist. Stop by your local VIP shop and take a look!

Layout: 4 1/2 x 4 x 2 Surface: Power Edge Rev Rate: 470 Tilt: 13* The official Phaze 2 pearl is here! This one is the real deal and the combination of the Velocity Core and the TX-25 Pearl coverstock completes this ball! The hype is real for this ball. This is the compliment to the Phaze 2 Solid that everyone has been waiting years for. I tried this ball on my typical 44ft house pattern and in a 6-game house shot tournament at a higher friction center. On the fresh, as you would expect for many pearl balls, it was too clean and responsive to blend the pattern out. This one was not really any different. It got me to the pocket pretty easily but the polished cover gave me too much length to carry the 10 pins most times. The phaze 2 solid was the much better choice for the fresh as you would have expected. I was pretty surprised at the strength of the phaze 2 pearl in the midlane and its response to friction. It is definitely much faster response than I originally thought it would be. What's great about it is its midlane read. It doesn't blow through the break point compared to the previous phaze pearl before. This phaze 2 pearl is a slightly cleaner and more responsive phaze 2 solid. As the lanes transitioned and I got into 20 with my feet, the phaze 2 pearl was super good. Read the oil in the middle part of the lane when missed and blended the drier parts of the lane when I missed out earlier. The backend reaction was strong but not very angular. The reaction is more continuous. This reaction is what makes this ball as a step down from the solid. As I moved into 30 and 35 with my feet, the ball did not roll out at all. I had no fear of it hook stopping especially in the higher volume of oil. In my 6-game tournament on a higher friction surface, I had a similar experience to my league pattern but this time, I was able to get the ball to read the middle part of the lane sooner because of the lane surface. The ball was great from game 1 to game 6 as I just had to keep moving my feet left. I started sliding around 25 and playing 15 to 8. As the fronts went away, I moved in with my feet and my break point moved to around 10-12. Again, no issues with the ball reading the oil and continuing through the pins. It was very impressive how it rolled from that deep on the lanes. I recommend this ball for anyone who loves the Phaze 2 Solid and wants a really good pearl compliment in the Storm lineup. No need to fear that this is just another "phaze" pearl that isn't close to the solid. For bowlers whose lane conditions are a little drier, you could use this ball on the fresh as it should read the lane early enough. For most people, this ball will be a good transition ball after a solid cover ball but removing the pro edge polish will get the ball to read the lane much harder for more overall use.

Phase II Pearl!!!! If it’s clean through the fronts and strong continuous backend motion that you’re looking for, then the Phase II Pearl is for you! This one will not disapoint when the lanes are dry and you need to get deep. Go see Bill Keener and Cassidy Schaub at The Armory Pro Shop & Supply to get yours today! This video shows the Ultimate Wrecker(my go to ball) compared to the Phase II Pearl. The Phase II Pearl allowed me to move much further left and it still continued through the pins.

Storm Phaze II Pearl - Master Line Coverstock: TX-25 Pearl - Power Edge Core: Velocity RG: 2.48 Differential: .051 (15 lbs) Fragrance: Frosted Cinnamon Roll Layout: 5 x 5 x 2.75 PAP: 6" Right, 1 3/8" Up Axis Tilt: 16° Rotation: 51° Rev Rate: 450-500 Speed: 17-18 mph Location: Vista Lanes - Yorkville, NY Pattern: Kegel Carbon (Terrain Conditioner) Lane Surface: Anvilane The wait is OVER…Phaze II Pearl has arrived! The Phaze II Pearl has been specifically designed to fit between the Phaze II Solid and !Q Tour series. It features the new TX-25 pearl cover with a Power Edge finish and the proven Velocity core. Unlike the Phaze AI, the Phaze II Pearl does not have AI to ensure ball motion that mimics the Phaze II Solid. The cover has also been upgraded to maximize performance. The cover/core combination will generate a balance of control and power that is expected from the Phaze series. The Phaze II Pearl gave me a great look sliding on 27, looking 16 at the arrows with my breakpoint around 7-8. When compared to the IQ Tour AI, the Phaze II Pearl is stronger and makes a quicker change in direction off the end of the pattern. When your Phaze II Solid or symmetric solid starts to pick up too early, it will be the perfect ball to go to in league or tournament play. Within my bag, the Phaze II Pearl will be a step down from the Rockstar, but above IQ Tour AI. Stop by your local Storm VIP pro shop to check it out!

TESTING ENVIRONMENT Type: Lakes Bowl House Shot BALL: Storm Phaze ll Pearl Coverstock: TX-25 Pearl Core: : Velocity Core Finish: Power Edge RG: 2.53 (14 Pounds) Differential: 0.050 (14 Pounds) MB/PSA: NA (14 Pounds) ME: Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 14-15 mph Rev Rate: 220 PAP: 5 7/16 Right 1/8 Down Ball Layout: 50x4¼x40 The Phaze II Pearl is what bowlers worldwide have been asking for — a versatile, responsive complement to our lineup. For nearly 10 years, the premier choice for symmetric performance on medium to heavy oil has undoubtedly been the Phaze II. The Phaze II Pearl broadens the spectrum of performance within the Master line by bridging the gap between the original Phaze II Solid and !Q Tour series. Fragrance: Frosted Cinnamon Roll Release Date: 11/28/25.” The Phaze line and I over the past five releases haven't really seen eye to eye. I threw the Phaze lll after joining the team and instantly fell in love with that ball. So naturally when the Phaze 4 was released I was very eager to get holes in it and see it go do the lane. Shortly after this ball was released the USBC added this and other balls to the “Storm 6” that was deemed not usable and the Phaze 5 was the replacement and I never got them to roll very well for me. When the Phaze AI was released I was on the fence about it because of the 4 & 5 not rolling well for me. I ordered it and put holes in it and even with the AI in this ball again it didn’t roll very well for me. So now we have the Phaze ll Pearl and sadly the same results. I threw it on fresh and it never saw the lane and skidded down the lane. I hit it with a 2000 pad and it shaped a little more but when oil got back on the ball it just went back to skidding down the lane again. I felt as if to make this ball look good my release had to be perfect and only one release made this ball shape. So in preparation for this review I looked back at why the Phaze 3 worked well for me and the 4,5,AI, and P2P did not work so well. All of these balls have the same Velocity Core, but the difference is on the Phaze 3 it is R3S Hybrid, the 4 & 5 had the R2S Pearl, the AI has the TX-16 Pearl and the P2P has the TX-25 Pearl, So with my style it looks like the Velocity Core with a pearl cover isn’t very well for my style of play.

The Storm Phaze 2 Pearl takes the trusted Velocity core from the original Phaze II and wraps it in a new pearlized TX-25 Pearl Reactive coverstock, finished with a polished 1500-grit factory shine. That combo gives you a cleaner look through the front part of the lane than the solid Phaze II, but with that same strong, continuous core motion that made the original so popular. Compared to the Phaze II solid, the Pearl version pushes a few feet further before making its move and is quicker off the spot, giving you more shape and angle when the mids start to go away. Compared to the Roto Grip Rockstar Amped, the Phaze 2 Pearl is smoother in the midlane and not as sharp off friction, offering a more rounded and controllable motion while still providing plenty of pop downlane.

The long-awaited Storm Phaze II Pearl delivers exactly what fans of the original Phaze II were hoping for—a true companion piece that preserves the core motion while adding extra length and pop downlane. Built with the TX-25 Pearl coverstock wrapped around the iconic Velocity Core, this ball provides a familiar read with a noticeably cleaner footprint through the front part of the lane. I drilled mine 4 × 2, matching the layout on my fresh Phaze II, and the relationship between the two is immediately clear. The motion is very similar, but the Phaze II Pearl gets through the midlane with less effort and responds with a sharper, more dynamic move at the breakpoint. Where the Phaze II digs in earlier and rolls heavier, the Pearl version retains that signature control while offering a more angular finish. For bowlers who love the Phaze II—and there are many—this pairing creates an ideal 1–2 punch. Start with the benchmark Phaze II, then transition seamlessly into the Phaze II Pearl as the fronts go and you need added length and recovery without losing the shape you trust. An excellent evolution of a fan favorite, and one that will fit naturally into a wide range of arsenals.

The layout is 4 1/2 x 3 5/8 x 3 7/8 (40 x 4 1/2 x 65 using the dual angle layout) Although this is a pin down layout, it still provides good length, great response to the friction (or dry) while being continuous through the pins. I chose this layout to give me good balance of skid, hook and roll from a pearl coverstock. This TX-25 coverstock makes this Phaze II Pearl compliment the TX-16 coverstock of the orginal Phaze II, which is more earlier and has a more rounder shape. The Phaze II Pearl will definitely cover more boards down lane than the original Phaze II. Having both will complement each other very well. The Phaze II Pearl will be a good league/tournament ball to have in my arsenal, and I can trust what it will do on the lanes. Make sure to grab you one… OR TWO!

The Storm Phaze II Pearl is easily the most anticipated ball release we’ve seen in years, and you can feel that the moment you hit the lanes with it. Bowlers have been begging for a pearl version of the legendary Phaze II for almost a decade, and Storm finally delivered with the TX-25 Pearl cover wrapped around the same trusted Velocity core. What you get is that signature early-revving, stable motion the Phaze II line is famous for, but now with a cleaner look through the fronts and a sharper, more responsive move downlane that still feels incredibly controllable. Honestly, it lives up to the hype — this ball gives me the same confidence I’ve relied on from the solid, but with added length and versatility that fills a hole in the lineup we've all been waiting for Storm to address.
