- Description: Storm is synonymous with high performance. Looking at the best competitive bowlers around the world, all gathered in Las Vegas for this year’s PBA World Series of Bowling, Storm emerged as the clear leader in our sport with complete domination of the events.
The intent of the new Vivid is to create a motion which expands the current Premier line, giving you a clear picture of the lane condition while utilizing Storm’s most technologically-advanced cores and coverstocks. This new Vivid will be a perfect fit between the original Virtual Gravity Nano solid and pearl versions, combining midlane traction and backend hook.
By now you are probably familiar with the term nanotechnology. While it technically refers to the study of manipulating matter on an atomic and molecular scale, nanotechnology in the coverstock creates heavy surface texture like no other. So, anytime you see the new NRG™ logo on a ball, know that you’ve got the best bowling has to offer.
Starting at the center, the heart of the bowling ball, the technical team developed a new asymmetrical shape known at the M.A.D. core. Maximum Accelerating Disc technology optimizes the shapes of the RG planes to allow you to perfectly dial in your desired reaction.
Moving to the shell, the NRG solid reactive coverstock utilizes nanotechnology to create additional contours and surface texture. Proven in the original Virtual Gravity Nano, this coverstock allows bowlers of all skill levels to hook the ball like a pro. Just give it a little side roll and watch the Vivid do its magic.
Prepped with a 2000-grit finish, the Vivid can be smoothed with Xtra Shine™ if you find it has just too much teeth. But know that with the Vivid you’ll be sure to see a true heavy roll with increased break point responsiveness like no other.

This review is based on his feedback. He is extremely happy with the performance of the ball. He has had the ball drilled and loves the hook he is getting. This has definitely been a good investment. And on a side note, the shipping was unbelievable, i ordered the ball on Sunday, had the ball 2 days later. Can't get any better than that. Was this review helpful to you?

WOW By one handed bowler from san jose
Reviewed on: 4/24/2012 Verified Reviewer Pros:Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface, Great Weight, Attractive Design Best Uses:Upgrade, Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend The ball does very well just as long as there is oil. Good continuous motion and a strong finish. First game was a 243 playing straight up the 4 board. For some reason the lanes were pretty flooded (good for me). Overall, good ball and just what i was looking for. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Strong, Aggressive, Carry. By Nate the Great from Mountain Home, AR
Reviewed on: 5/19/2012 Verified Reviewer Pros:Great carry, Surface, Aggressive Best Uses:Tournaments, Upgrade, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Video Submitted by Reviewer:Customer Video (Strong, Aggressive, Carry.) I use the Storm Vivid in only one of my leagues. The Vivid works best on fresh oil. I had the ball drilled 4"x4"x2", which is high flaring, with a strong entry angle. I cannot say enough about how this ball carries, my 10 pin leaves went down considerably. My high series was a 724 with a 266 game. Shot several 270 games, but no 300's, I didn't get the ball until late into the season, so a little more time would have produced better scores. One last thing, when my Vivid would start to break early, I would transition to my Storm Frantic, which it it's own right is a great ball. It gives me that extra length down the lane that works perfect. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Love the Storm Vivid By Frontier Guy from Colfax, California
Reviewed on: 5/15/2012 Verified Buyer Pros:Attractive Design, Flawless Surface, Comfortable Grip, Great Weight Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I really love the Storm Vivid, I also have the Storm Nano and they compliment each other. Depending on lane conditions the Nano will hook a little harder and explode the pins and the Vivid will hold the lane a little longer and brake at the end to explode to pins. I recommend either ball but if your like me get both balls. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.
