Storm Summit Bowling Ball

What are the most iconic Storm balls of all time? The first two spots are locked up: Phaze 2 and IQ Tour Solid. Summit is the meeting of these two legends. Featuring a refreshed hybrid version of the Phaze 2 coverstock and a high performance version of Centripetal core from the IQ, Summit does it all. While the cover allows the ball to store energy and blend out the friction, the core creates torque and a ton of overall flare/hook. Summit is the perfect ball to fit the gap between the Phaze 2 and your favorite solid asym piece. Summit is clean, smooth, strong and continuous. Get yours June 23rd, you don't want to miss this one.

Dual Angle Layout: 55 x 4 x 35 Storm Vector Layout: 4 x 4 ¾ x 2 I am so pleased with the Summit so far. This is the ball I have been looking for to replace my Phaze II. This ball starts up in the mid lane and still drives through the pins. This is a great game one ball for a higher rev player on house shots. The ball does seem to lane shine up quickly so you might need to tweak the surface every few sets to maintain the reaction your looking for.

The Summit features the TX-23 hybrid cover and Centripetal HD-A.I. core. This Core and cover create a ball that will go through the fronts but creates a nice mid lane read. The updated Centripetal HD core added a feature called Amplified Inertia that helps lower the RG and Raise the diff. Core numbers are the same from 14-16 pounds due to this new core design. This ball reminds me of the Axiom that was released from a couple of years ago. My experience with this ball is that the ball was easy through the fronts but created a heavier mid lane read but a strong motion downlane. Comparing it to the Phaze II this ball will go a couple of feet longer and have a stronger faster motion downlane. Get yours June 23rd at your local Storm VIP pro shop.

The Summit uses a modified Centripetal core wrapped in the new AI outer core. This low RG core really gets the ball rolling in the mid-lane. They paired this core with a modified version of the cover featured on the Phaze II. This new formulation called TX-23 Hybrid gives you great mid-lane dig and a nice big foot-print down-lane. The result as you may expect is a Phaze-II for more oil, for earlier in blocks. I tested the summit on the house pattern at my home center. I didn't have a lot of expectation because of the crazy amount of early friction in our home center during the summer months. I fully expected a ball as strong as the summit to lock-up and look really flat through the pins. I was pleasantly surprised that although I was forced much further left than I like to be game one, the ball did keep coming around. It certainly helped control the back-end of the lane and I had to keep my angle pretty sharp through the front to get it right but it did go through the pins pretty well. I guess with smooth continuation being such a hallmark of the phaze II motion it isn't as surprising as it could be. This ball is going to be a great first ball out on heavier patterns. It should provide a seam-less transition into the Phaze II as those wet patterns begin to break down. It should look especially good for speed dominant bowlers who need the ball to see the mid-lane but don't necessarily need the all at once motion that you get from some of the bigger assym balls.
