WOW! What a ball! By James from Mason, MI
Reviewed on: 7/22/2009 Unverified Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments, Upgrade Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend This ball is amazing. You can not beat this combination of cover, block, and affordable price. I thought this would be a condition specific ball, and have found in a very short time it will play on almost anything. This ball should be a solid play for almost any bowler on the normal house conditions, and if you run into a tournament that is not souped up it should play very well. It gives excellent length with alot more backend than I expected, but it is still very forgiving and predictable. The only knock I could see is that on some heavier oil patterns it may not have quite enough cover to finish consistently, otherwise this is a great all around ball. Was this review helpful to you?

One Violent Storm indeed!!! By cabby1979 from Mechanicsville,Maryland
Reviewed on: 3/2/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Flawless Surface, Attractive Design, Comfortable Grip, Great Weight Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley, Upgrade Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Best Storm ball I have ever owned to date and I have used many over the years. Just bought this ball and the tropical storm indigo/ivory in a 14 lb and they both are excellent when it comes to hooking into the pocket.Where I play it's usually mid oil and I have to lay this ball down at around the 13th board or so from the right side. If I get close to the 3rd arrow I brooklyn almost everytime due to the last minute break on this ball. Anyways awsome ball 100% recommended if you have good control on your ball speed and rev's. i still use my Hammer nasty as primary but I love them both. Great ball that hits the pocket like a true beast!!! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Amazing! Great Job Storm! By Alex from St Louis, Mo

A must have in your arsenal By Daddysauce from Chandler, AZ
Reviewed on: 4/22/2010 Verified Buyer Pros:Flawless Surface, Great Weight, Attractive Design, Smooth Arch Best Uses:Upgrade, Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Background: Bowling for 20+ years, only using Storm products, averaging 211-214 past few years and I throw a medium to high rev ball... left of center to about 10-15 board. I got this ball about 3-4 weeks ago and it's been amazing. Out of the box, post-drill, shot a 750. It has a great smooth arch with just enough snap in the back end to pull right through the pocket. The specs for this ball say it doesn't hook as much as it really does, but with a little speed this thing holds very well. I would not recommend using on a dry to medium lane oil as this thing will take off early on you and be unforgiving. Since my first use, in league I have shot 750, 690, 720, and last night 811. This is my go-to ball to begin the night, and as long as the lanes hold up, I've been sticking with it and it's been pretty good. My backup is a Second Dimension which I've polished to give it a little smoother reaction, and It's been a great combo. Basically, this ball has been an amazing addition to my bag and I won't be needing another ball anytime soon. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

decent ball By ... from NH
Reviewed on: 3/13/2010 Unverified Pros:Attractive Design Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:Casual Bowler Bottom Line:No, I would not recommend this to a friend This is the first ball I have ever had. I had about a 120 average with house balls and then i got this one. My average has gone up to about 140 but I think that is just becasue I bowl more. You really have to hit the pocket perfectly for a strike or you might get lucky in the 1-2 pocket. ait doesn't have the explosion as some of the other balls I have seen. Lots of splits.

Storm Fast By Hags from Eagan, MN
Reviewed on: 12/22/2009 Unverified Pros:Comfortable Grip, Attractive Design Cons:None Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I purchased this ball in order to start throwing a hook, and selected this ball on the recommendation of the bowling ball salesman. Prior to purchasing the Storm Fast I just through a straight ball and had no idea on how to throw a hook. I also opted for the finger and thumb inserts, which I highly recommend. Once you learn the basics of throwing a hook your off to the races with this ball, if your delivery is consistent so is the ball, my Storm Fast is the best! My average went from 112 to 145 in a matter of weeks, after a couple of months I've been hitting 180's fairly consistently, with a couple of +200 games thrown in there!

Jury is now out... By Dman from Kansas
Reviewed on: 5/18/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design, Comfortable Grip Cons:Flaws In Surface Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:No, I would not recommend this to a friend I have made a comeback to bowling and decided for the money and my skill level this was a good choice. I raised my average 22+ pins in one season and placed high in the state tourney. I will say however the ball coverstock is very weak and subject to being marred by ball returns. Mine after one night of use new, the ball had many deep grooves cut into the stock. It also looses its finish rather fast and had to refinsh to regain the higher polish shine from new. Not good on medium to heavy oil and has a tendancy to not hook on one roll then hook like mad the next. Overall I like the ball but only seems to be a ball to be used on lanes specific for its structure or to say it simply it is a "Part Timer". I would highly suggest the use of Storm Reactive cleaner on this ball as it does suck up oil like a sponge. Not only after bowling but during bowling I use the cleaner!
