Storm Summit Ascent Bowling Ball

This is THE Goldilocks ball for me. My home center has an older high friction lane surface. This ball bridges the gap between too much hook in the Phase II and not enough hook in the original !Q. It’s the ball I choose when I don’t necessarily need control from balls like my Tour Dynamix, ION Pro or !Q Ruby. I drilled mine with a strong pin down layout to stay on line longer and still gets it confidently around the corner. This one is exactly what I’d hoped it would be.

This core and coverstock combination produced the most forgiving Summit to date with the Summit Ascent! I was pleasantly surprised with the results I found with the Summit Ascent. So, let's break it down and see what makes it an excellent choice to fit any straighter player's arsenal! The Centripetal HD – A.I. Core produces a smooth and predictable motion throughout the lane. And where that motion stands out most is in the Summit Ascent's mid-lane consistency! I found the Centripetal HD Core revs relatively early; however, I saw a stronger and more pronounced definition in the Summit Ascents mid-lane motion with the added A.I. core technology. And as a straighter player, I liked how the Centripetal HD –A.I. Core retained its power for where it is needed most – at the pocket! The Centripetal HD A.I. Core strikes with a crisp impact, which we straighter players need, especially to carry those lighter hits. Lastly, the Centripetal HD-A.I. core had excellent continuation, kicking out the corners when straighter players like me need them to go down the most! So, if you are a straighter player, the Centripetal HD-A.I. will be your symmetrical "go-to" that you can count on! The R2S Solid coverstock on the Summit Ascent brings a new level of consistency to a straighter player's game. The R2S Solid had excellent grip in the front part of the lane but wasn't overly aggressive as the Summit Ascent rolled smoothly and cleanly through the mid-lane. I especially like how the R2S Solid responded to friction! Whether a fresh THS or broken down late-night scenarios, I found the R2S Solid had a crisp and smooth motion when my Summit Ascent came off the pattern. I also found that the R2S gave the Summit Ascent a well-defined, predictable, and stable motion all night. So, I would say the R2S is a well-balanced coverstock that will bring consistency to any straighter player's game. In conclusion, as a straighter player, I was quite impressed with the Summit Ascent. Storm has done an excellent job of combining the Centripetal HD-A.I. Core and the R2S Solid coverstock. This winning core and cover combination makes the Summit Ascent a superb choice for any straighter player's arsenal, especially when looking for that consistent shape and motion to keep you in the competition.

The Summit Ascent from Storm is the newest addition to the Master line. After using it on several different patterns and surface, I’m thoroughly impressed. The coverstock is R2S solid, under the hood is the AI core, and with that combination, the Summit Ascent is a winner in my bag. It’s been a perfect compliment to the Ion Pro Max and the Harsh Reality Pearl as well. I’ve drilled two so far and have had a ton of success with one. It’s mapped out as 4.75 x 4 x 2.5. This puts the pin above my ring finger with a stacked CG. I threw it out of the box to get some oil in the coverstock and it rolls really, really well. When it’s time to get out of my Ion Pro Max or XCell, the Ascent provides length with a slow(ish) response time, but most importantly, a very smooth and predictable response time. It’s worked best on those medium-length patterns where there isn’t a ton of hold and you need a ball to not go sideways off the end of the pattern. A close comparison would be a Phaze 2, but I believe the Ascent is cleaner through the front portion of the lane compared to a Phaze 2. If you need an extremely predictable ball that can be used on the short, medium, or long patterns, the Summit Ascent should be the next ball you drill! #StormNation

The Storm Summit Ascent is a formidable addition to any bowler's arsenal. This ball's key feature is its strong hook potential (0.056), making it ideal for those tricky lanes with heavy oil patterns. The reactive coverstock (R2S Solid) ensures consistent traction, providing a powerful backend finish. The asymmetrical core design (Centripetal HD-AI) offers exceptional versatility, allowing bowlers to experiment with various drilling layouts to suit their style. Drilled mine 5.5 x 3.75 x 1 in terms of performance, the ball delivers a smooth and predictable roll, which is crucial for maintaining control and accuracy at the breakpoint. Playing in my comfort zone (in the track) the Storm Summit Ascent is particularly well-suited all 3 games of league for bowlers who can migrate left/right as the THS transition. I can play a more aggressively as the R2S cover allows a smoother traction in oil with less burnup. The AI core will provide the extra carry of the corner pins. I have used the Ascent as my #1 or 2 ball on the fresh. Overall, if you're looking to elevate your game with a high-performance, reliable bowling ball, the Storm Summit Ascent will be a top contender. It combines innovation with practicality, making it a valuable investment for both competitive and casual bowlers. Visit a VIP Proshop today! #stormnation

Sam Cooper. Roto Grip Amateur Staff. The Storm Summit Ascent is essentially the “do everything” bowling ball. We have the Summit AI Core wrapped in the old faithful R2S Solid cover that has been a staple in the storm line for years. The high differential of the core with medium strength cover will allow this ball to be used on a wide variety of patterns. When I saw this ball on the rack in a storm video for another ball I was immediately curious what it was. The original Summit was a good ball when I really needed to control the lane. To me the original summit could be too strong for certain environments. The Ascent is and will be one of the most versatile bowling balls on the market. I have tested this ball on a few different conditions already and it just seems to do the right thing each time. The Ascent is also good to throw in practice to see what the lane is giving you and can be used to make moves based off of what you see. When bowling on sport I usually do hit the cover with a 2000 pad to get a more consistent read. I have also let this ball shine up a bit and use it for majority of league nights. This ball gives you that clean and smooth look for a solid bowling ball. To me this ball is right in the middle of the bag. Stronger than my IQ Tour, that is essentially what this ball is a stronger IQ Tour solid. But weaker than Sublime Focus or Optimum Idol. The Ascent is on a similar strength level to the ION Pro just a difference in how they react in my opinion. Between the ION Pro and the Summit Ascent, these are two of the best balls out now for any level of bowler!

This is the 3rd installment of the Summit. While I didn’t throw the original Summit much and never drilled a Summit Peak, I think I can safely say, the Summit Ascent is the best for my game. Let’s start with the R2S Solid Reactive coverstock featured on many Storm balls, most notably the IQ Tour. Just think of the Summit Ascent as the modern day version of the IQ Tour, better suited to combat current lane patterns. I left mine out of the box and found it floated effortlessly through the front part of the lane. I like balls with lower RGs so they rev up and don’t miss the midlane and the Summit Ascent fits the bill. The Centripetal HD with A.I. Core offers a pretty high differential, so it will have plenty of track flare and downlane motion. In other words, it floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. It’s a great versatile piece for the middle of your bag. Leave it shiny and it’ll clear the fronts or put some surface on it for patterns with more volume. I drilled mine pin up, 4 ½ from my PAP.

Another bowling ball I have the joys of having in my bowling bag. The Storm Ascent. In my eyes now, this is a great 1st ball out of the bag to have. It rolls so well, reacts even better. Sorry to say I love this one compared to the Summit Peak. This ball has such a predictable arc on the back end. The Centripetal HD AI core, R2S reactive cover stock. Comes 4000 factory finish. For being a solid ball, it definitely reacts quite a bit on the back end. One of my favorite bowling balls so far.

PAP 5” Over 1/2 up Rev Rate 300. Tilt 20. Rotation 50. Speed at cameras 15.5 Review: The new Storm Summit Ascent is a bit weaker in hook than the original Summit. This slightly weaker motion was by design to help the ball glide more through the heads and be predictable down the lane. It is a bit unexpected for a solid cover to move fewer boards than the Hybrid version but the design intent was definitely achieved. I have only tested this ball on two different house shots and felt I did not have the miss room that some of my stronger solids give me. I had my best look going up the boards or rolling a small arch to the pocket. I let the ball lane shine and feel this gave me better results. The carry is good if you make sure you have good hand or higher entry angle. Before I drilled my thumb in this ball I let a no thumb two hander bowler test it out. The Summit Ascent provided him a strong smooth reaction that was very controllable. The ball went through the pocket nicely with his higher rev rate. I think the Summit Ascent will be a good choice for a tournament bowler or those with higher rev rates. Summary: The Storm Summit Ascent is a very smooth solid ball. The Summit Ascent smell says cream soda but has a minty scent to me. Those with higher rev rates should not be afraid to drill this solid up.

TESTING ENVIRONMENT Length:43 Volume:Med-High Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc):THS 12:1 Ratio COMMENTS Coverstock: R2S Solid Reactive Core: Centripetal HD w/AI Finish: 4000 Abralon RG: 2.46 Differential: 0.056 ME: Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 12-13 mph Rev Rate: 315 Axis Tilt: 14° Axis Rotation: 74° PAP: 5 1/8 R 7/8 Up Ball Layout: Pin Up 4 3/4 Pin to Pap 2 1/2 Pin Buffer The new addition to Storm's Master line of balls is a new configuration of the Summit called Summit Ascent. The strong fast revving cores in the Summit line have made them a favorite for many pros and bowlers of all levels on higher volume oil patterns. The High Diff core creates great flare to give more hook than customary for many symmetric balls. To create a unique shape with this core, Storm wrapped the core in the legendary R2S solid coverstock that dominated the lanes for so many years on so many great releases. This creates the cleanest version of the Summit to date. The previous summit releases were of limited use to me. With my lower ball speed the early hook often proved to be more than I needed and I usually opted for cleaner balls. The Summit Peak didn't give me the length I had hoped for, but rather created a piece which seemed to stand up even faster when it saw friction, often earlier than was ideal to create good pin carry. This is all relative to the quirks of my home center where the front panels have much built in friction. The excessive amount of oil the house uses to try to combat this tends to create a condition where the front of the lane transitions very quickly and the back-end much more slowly. The wrong ball motion can make them feel way harder than they should when balls stand up to quickly in the early friction and won't recover down-lane. Now when I took the Summit Ascent out to the lane for the first time, I saw a ball where I could really make use of the strong core. R2S solid being a much weaker formulation than nearly every cover available to date, I was able to get the ball through the front and see the core take over where the ball needed to read. I was very impressed with how the ball didn't stand up and get forward when it same the friction a little early, and it had no problems powering back when it got right down-lane. Probably the best sign for me personally was my ability to stay in the ball all 3 games. It took a bit of manipulation to still get it down-lane game three when i was up against the ball return, but considerable less than I expected and I didn't feel like I had to sacrifice carry to do so. The Summit Ascent seems to be a ball that matches up with many styles. I've heard it called a "Cleaner" Phaze II. On fresher conditions I would agree. In the later games the two balls get closer together for me. It's definitely a ball that is the right shape for everyone at some stage of play.

Storm Summit Ascent Coverstock: R2S Solid Reactive Finish: 4000-Grit Abralon Core: Centripetal HD – A.I. RG: 2.46, Diff: 0.056 (15 lb.) VLS Layout: 5 x 4 x 2-1/2 Dual Angle Layout: 50 x 5 x 35 PAP: 5 3/16” right x 5/8” up Rev rate: 400 rpm Average speed: 16.5 mph Location: Prairie Lanes, Sun Prairie WI Pattern: Medium volume THS The Summit Ascent is the latest offering in Storm’s master line and the Summit series of bowling balls. The new Summit Ascent features the same Centripetal HD core paired with the Amplified Inertia (A.I.) outer core. However, the Ascent features the famed R2S solid coverstock which has been found on a number of Storm balls – perhaps most famously the !Q Tour Solid. This new core/cover combo creates a fast-revving ball designed to produce a clean and continuous ball motion that fits between the original Summit and Summit Peak. The Summit Ascent has become my go-to first ball out of the bag, especially for league nights on house conditions. The strong core gets the ball into a roll early to help read the body of the oil pattern, but contrary to bigger hooking balls, the weaker R2S solid cover helps the Summit Ascent get down the lane much easier. The total package is as advertised – a balanced transition from skid to hook to roll that provides a smooth ball motion with a strong responsiveness on the backend for consistency from shot to shot. The Summit Ascent is a great addition to the Summit series. It’s weaker than the original Summit, so don’t think of the Ascent as a replacement, whereas the Summit Peak is the cleanest and has most responsiveness on the backend. The Ascent will be a great ball for a variety of bowlers on medium volume patterns; and because the cover is a bit weaker you can stay with it longer as the lanes transition. This one definitely deserves a spot in the bag for both league and tournament players. Chris Pollentier Storm Products Pro Shop Staff #StormNation

Weight: 14 lbs. Pin Length: 3-3.5” Drilling: 60X30X25 Drilling VLS: 4-1/2X5X2-1/2 Pattern Length: 44 ft. Pattern Volume: Low-Med Pattern Type: THS Right Handed The Summit Ascent has the R2S Solid cover stock. This is a very smooth, even rolling ball. This is a Symmetrical ball in the Storm higher end line of balls. The box finish is 4000 grit abralon, which contributes to the even, smooth transition. As always, the surface can be altered to suit a variety of lane conditions and pattern lengths. It is Aqua/Smoke/Shadow in color. I have used the Ascent on a 44 ft. kegel house pattern, and a variety of house patterns in different centers. I’ve thrown the Ascent at the 4000 grit box finish, and have made some surface changes along the way. I’ve found this to be a very good ball on a variety of conditions. Once the transition comes into play, I can move in and still carry corners with some speed control. The Ascent is a hard hitting ball, even for a lower rev player, like myself. The Ascent is always in my bag. It gets through the heads extremely clean and makes a nice smooth turn down lane. I highly recommend the Ascent, and add a star if you’re a lower rev player like myself. The Phaze II is a good step down later in the set. It’ll get down the lane a little further and make a nice turn to the pocket. A good one two punch. I highly recommend this ball if you’re looking for something stronger to add to your arsenal. Its a winner! Carol Teel Roto Grip Amateur Staff Member

The Summit Ascent is the latest addition to the Master line of Storm. This bowling ball features a low RG Centripetal HD core with A.I. Technology and a very proven and successful R2S Solid coverstock. This Summit Ascent may be a considerable alternative to the well-known Phaze 2. I liked how my Summit Peak rolled so I drilled my Summit Ascent with the same pin-up layout: 65 x 5 x 35. Having thrown the Summit Peak and knowing that the RG of this core is on the lower end, I expected the Summit Ascent to be feel quite “early”. Even though the core of the Summit Ascent wants to read the oil pattern earlier, the cleaner R2S coverstock helps the bowling ball get down the lane a little easier. This combination seems to work very nicely together resulting in a strong, but smooth and round ball motion. I was also surprised how continuous this bowling ball was. I believe that the Summit Ascent will be a very good bowling ball for a variety of medium oil patterns. Those bowlers, who are looking for a stronger symmetrical bowling ball for fresh lane conditions should certainly consider the Summit Ascent. I can see this bowling ball working well on some “house” patterns as well. I think the Summit Ascent fits great in between the weaker symmetrical and stronger asymmetrical bowling balls. I can see this bowling ball rolling well with a pin-down layout as well. Watch me throw the Summit Ascent on The Bowling Passport YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/55DJdFevs_k

Storms latest addition to the Summit line is the Storm Summit Ascent. This uses the Storm R2S solid cover stock that has the go to cover for a very long time. It also features AI technology something that was also in the previous additions to the line. I drilled this ball with the layout of 40x5x45 this ball is super clean for me and when I’m bowling on a higher friction surface this is my go to. Great down lane motion and this ball really continues through the pins. This is a great ball to add to your line up for league play and a nice step down from the Summit Peak

The summit has always been good but incomplete. They were always really early pieces that if you tried to open the lane with, would cause you to run into trouble. Either it would never see or it would be too early and leave 10 pins or look like it was hooking up a hill. The new summit ascent fixes all those problems. It’s the original core but with the weak IQ cover. This gives the ball the versatility it was missing. With the strong summit core and the weak IQ tour cover it allows the ball to get up the lane and store energy longer. But because it’s a solid it gives you a controllable but continuous motion all bowlers are looking for. This ball is good for playing straighter or with enough rev rate moving left and opening it up. It’s a continuous piece that can last the whole night of league and is worth the pick up!

Innovating to new heights!! Introducing Storm's newest symmetrical solid reactive, the Summit Ascent. Padded at 4000 grit and its R2S solid cover stock, the summit ascent provides the perfect balance for down lane motion. I drilled this ball at 70 x 5 3/8 x 40 and all I can say about this ball is... WOW!! Usually, a solid ball hooks sooner, but with this 4000-factory finish, this ball is a lot cleaner than you'd expect for a normal solid. The ascent loves oil and can also go out to the friction and still continue smoothly to the end without reacting early. This ball would fit right in the middle between the summit series of the original summit and the peak. And let's not forget the brand-new scent, cream soda! This is one ball that will definitely be a staple in my bag mostly for league and medium-heavy tournament patterns. Be sure to stop by your local pro shop and drill one today! The Summit Ascent is a must have!! Thomas Coco (Storm Staffer)

The Summit Ascent features the R2S Solid cover wrapped around the Centripetal HD A.I. Core. I drilled mine 5 x 3, which is the say layout I have on my trusty Optimum Idol. After throwing this ball for awhile, it will be getting a lot of use because it is similar to the Optimum Idol but just the next step down in my bag so when the Idol is too much itll be time for the Summit Ascent. It is a also a good mixture of both the original Summit and Summit Peak and definitely fits in-between them even though it is a solid but because of the R2S it makes it a lot cleaner. I highly recommend the Summit Ascent for bowlers of all skill level.

An R2S Solid high diff symmetrical! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the IQ Tour Solid. But there are times I need a ball with more differential to flare more and see the oil. I’ve needed it for years and FINALLY Storm answered the call. I can tell you immediately that the Ascent is one of my favorite balls. It’s so versatile and allows me to throw my favorite cover almost an entire tournament because if there’s too much oil for the IQ Tour, I can start with an Ascent and then go to the IQ Tour. Just more clean versatile options from Storm!

We have the newest benchmark release from the SPI line with the Summit Ascent. Featuring the famous centripetal HD core we see this matched with R2S overstock at 4k finish to provide a cleaner entry through the front part of the lane yet a discernible read in the mid's where it will dig and shape down lane. I did change the surface to 2000 to get it to read sooner on the lane although at 4000 it is quite usable as well. I brought it to 2000 to read sooner than my Phase 2 and have that as a transition off of the new Summit. The Summit Ascent provides plenty of predictability and versatility for a multitude of conditions. You can keep it at 4000 to provide cleaner shape or scuff it to get it to read sooner on heavier and or longer oil conditions. This ball will not overreact and will provide plenty of information for what the current playing environment is. This ball will be my first out the bag in most conditions on the fresh from tournament to league play. Those that are looking for predictability, the Summit Ascent is a great option to have in your arsenal.

This ball is cleaner and has more pop down lane than my Optimum Idol. When I need to open my angles up but the lanes aren’t quite ready for something Pearl I’ll be able to go to this ball, typically my other solid symmetric options won’t have enough energy down lane to continue through the pins like the Summit Ascent. Medium to higher rev players will absolutely love this ball on league conditions because it’s cleaner through the front part of the lane than most solid options but it still can blend out the wet dry better than the Pearl balls. Tournament players will love this when the fronts hook because they’ll be able to stay in a ball with some teeth without losing ball motion down lane.

Storm Summit Ascent Layout: 6 x 5 x 3 Ball Specs: Centripetal HD core with A.I. technology R2S solid coverstock and finished at 4000 abralon Here WE go, the newest Summit added to the line is the Summit Ascent. The prior Summits used the TX-23 coverstock in a hybrid on the OG Summit and then followed up by the Summit Peak with TX-23 pearl coverstock. I feel SPI was looking to even the playing field with the Summit Ascent. With using the proven and very reliable R2S coverstock, it matched very well with the Centripetal HD core. For me using on a 42ft THS, as you can see in my YouTube video, it is quite balanced in ball motion and continuous through the pin deck, even on the lighter and heavier pocket hits, it definitely has that extra kick. I really started to enjoy the Ascent has the lane shine developed on the cover, when the cover is “fresh”, it’s a little early and a little hooky. So, for my sessions, league and practice time with it, I just wiped it down with some Reacta Clean wipes and not touch up the cover with any kind of abarlon pad being used on the cover. When My Summit Peak and Optimum Idol Pearl start going a stick to long and the Hustle X-Ray is not strong enough, the Ascent makes its presence know. I am starting to learn about myself and my game with some of the more recent releases and using longer pin to pap drillings thanks to Earl Burger at ABC North Lanes and for all the great information that Storm puts out there, including the videos on YouTube. The longer I use the Ascent, the better it is getting. This will replace my Optimum Idol solid in my current arsenal, which will be: Hustle X-Ray, Lighting Blackout, Summit Ascent, Optimum Idol Pearl and X-Cell. Here is the link to my ball video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEZVp1La5Y4

The Summit Ascent has a very special RG and Differential combination that really makes this ball rev up earlier. When I got to throw it at the ball demo, I couldn’t believe it and thought it was probably just the lanes we were on. When I drilled mine up, I was truly impressed with how this ball rolls and it gives me the shape I love. The Summit series is starting to become my favorite in the Storm line as the Summit Peak has been a staple in my bag no matter what. These balls will be a great 1-2 punch on the lanes.

Storm Summit Ascent Cover Stock: R2S Solid Finish: 4000 Grit Abralon Core: Centripetal HD A.I.

What this means to the bowler is more length and more motion off the spot. Compared to the original Summit you can anticipate more length with the R2S coverstock in this offering. Something that folks may not be aware of is the RG and Differential values are the same for 14 to 16 pounds in the Summit Ascent. For my review, I rolled the Summit Ascent at the OOB 4000 Abralon finish. Also, I prepped a Summit Peak with a 3K Abralon by hand for comparison purposes. The Summit Ascent and the Summit have a 5 x 4 x 3 1/2 - 2LS and 5 x 4 x 4 - 2LS layout applied. Basically, both are very close. My Summit Peak I changed the layout a bit and went with a 2 x 6 x 5 - 2LS and also drilled the fingers a touch deeper to get through the fronts a little bit more on your typical THS patterns. In comparing the Summit Ascent to the original Summit and the Summit Peak I was pleased the Summit Ascent went through the front part of the lane a bit easier for me. As a slower two-handed player the Summit is a higher volume sport pattern ball for me. The Summit Peak OOB Reacta Gloss finish definitely increased length. The Summit Ascent with R2S increased length as well, but provides a touch more control compared to the Peak. I will say to the eye the A.I. technology does benefit on light hits. I had a few balls that carried when missing right a touch. You will see this when the video comparison is posted. Also, for me, I left my Summit Ascent at the 4K OOB finish and I am very satisfied with it.
