    Layout: 4 1/2 x 4 x 4 Surface: Power Edge The Road Warrior brings back the Inverted FE AI Core along with the R2S Deep Pearl coverstock which has never been seen on a domestic ball to date. The AI of this The Road warrior is the predecessor to the Hyroad Pearl and has a lot of high expectations. The Road Warrior brings back the Inferted AI Fe core found in The Road along with the R2S Deep Pearl coverstock which has not been used yet stateside. The Road Warrior provides a lot of length very similar to the Hyroad Pearl but reads the midlane stronger due to the AI core. Even though the coverstock is in fact weaker, the core allows the ball to still read the body of the lane well. The combination of the core and cover really matches up with this ball. On my 44ft typical house shot, I felt that I didn't need as much dry on the lanes for the ball on the lanes. It was clean as I expected but got into the roll phaze faster than I anticipated which I feel is great for my style. The Road Warrior will be great as a later transition ball due to the clean characteristics of it. Those who have lower tilt or slow ball speed on higher friction lanes, will really enjoy the Road Warrior. It probably won't be ideal on the fresh especially with the power edge finish. Bringing the surface down without the power edge will bring the hook closer to you and make it a little more useful for fresh. I would choose The Road more often on the fresh as the coverstock is stronger and more rolly overall. What i do enjoy about this ball is the ease to open the lanes up and creating more down lane hook. This ball creates a lot of angle down lane making it ideal to play the inside part of the lane. This ball would be most ideal to be paired with The Road or a step down from the Phaze AI. Adam Chase Storm Staff

    I drilled the new Storm Road Warrior 5x4.5x2 using the vls system. I drilled this ball to give me some length while still retaining energy for the end of the pattern. This ball has the R2S Deep pearl coverstock paired with the Inverted Fe Ai weight block. I dont think a match up in storm lineup can be more iconic! This ball gives you a slightly cleaner motion compared to The Road from earlier this year. Bowling on 43ft I saw this ball cut through the front part of the lane nicely. Im not sure if this ball will see much league action from me, but this will for sure be in the tournament bag. Me personally I have this ball slotted in the 5 spot in a 6-ball arsenal. I highly recommend picking one of these up on November 22nd!

    The BURN MASTER! If your looking for a ball for when the fronts go, is clean through the midlane and ALL BACKEND. THIS IS THE BALL FOR YOU! Sometimes with stronger symmetrical pearls they hook too soon and roll more like their solid counterparts. Not this ball. This is the ideal tournament ball for game 6-8, if your house has a lot of friction or if the pattern tends to get cliffed by game 3 of league. This ball is one that will stay in your bag for a long time and get you out of trouble when your bigger balls start burning up and getting to early!

    Storm Bowling Road Warrior Review Layout VLS-5 3/8x4x1 3/4 Surface-Power Edge Storm has added another option in the road series with the new Road Warrior.The Road Warrior uses the the modified Hyroad core with AI technology wrapped with the R2S Deep Pearl Coverstock. The Road Warrior will be a great option on medium to dry lanes when you need length and a strong backend. If your looking for a replacement for the Hyroad pearl the road warrior will be a great choice.I feel like the Road Warrior reads the midlane a little sooner than the Hyroad pearl but still with a strong backend. In my arsenal the road warrior will have the most length of all the current road series balls with the strongest backend. The Road Warrior will be available November 22nd!!!!!!

    The Road Warrior features the same core specs as the OG Road but is now covered in R2S Deep Pearl and finished with Power Edge. This creates a cleaner and sharper shape than the original without sacrificing the traits that remind us all of the OG Hyroad. Perfect for the bottom or your tournament or house shot bag!

    The Storm Road Warrior is an exciting upgrade in the Road series, offering enhanced versatility over both the original The Road and the Hy-road. Featuring the R2S DEEP Pearl coverstock, the Road Warrior provides more length and sharper backend motion than The Road, which is smoother and more consistent across a wider range of conditions. Compared to the Hy-road, the Road Warrior delivers a more aggressive finish, making it a better choice for bowlers looking for more backend punch and sharper angles, especially on dry to medium oil conditions. The Road Warrior offers more dynamic motion and greater versatility for a wider range of conditions​. Go to your local SPI proshop and pick yours up on November 22nd!
