Storm Phaze II
The Storm Phaze II has the attributes of both an innovative core and coverstock technology. The fast-revving shape of the Velocity Core evens out the backend reaction without causing over-reaction. The TX-16 Solid Reactive coverstock leaves an unbelievable footprint on the lane. The footprint allows the Phaze II to perform well on sections of the lane that would normally be avoided. The coupling of the Velocity core and the TX-16 solid cover generate a powerful motion. Step up to the next phase, the Phaze II!

One of the best bowling balls ever made.
In my opinion, one of if not the best bowling ball ever made. I just recently bought my second Phaze II, opting for a 15 pounder and a bit longer layout. My older one is 16 pounds and drilled a bit stronger. But since I got my Gem for my strong ball needs, I may get the 16lb redrilled pin down for even later burn. I think the slight difference in RG from the lighter/smaller core gives it much better reaction down the lane from the heavier ball. This thing is just a beast. It's extremely versatile and can be used for almost any condition you might encounter. Just put surface on or take it off depending on what you're looking at. My least favorite, use for it was on the long, heavy oil patterns, like bear or shark, for example. But for those with limited options, one could throw 1000 grit on it and it and be salvageable. For me, I got my Gem and my Reality for those conditions, but even then, the Phaze II is a great transition ball when your weaker balls still won't shape the way you want. In my opinion, everybody should have at least one Phaze II in their arsenal. You really can't go wrong.

Incredibly Reliable
I'm a fairly novice bowler. I've only been bowling competitively for about a year and a half now, and my average was a measly 131. The Phase II is my third strike ball that I've owned, and I primarily bought it because I was told my other two (the Jackal Ghost and Rhino) were too heavy for me to use effectively by people who watched me bowl. At first, I was pretty disappointed. In order to get the ball to react in heavy oil, I had to really muscle it--shoving my arm down the alley and throwing my hand around the ball to get any kind of rotation that would lead to a hook. And once the oil burned up, I was flying right past the headpin. Obviously, this was not the way to go. After a little guidance from some other bowlers, I decided to stop muscling my swing, stop trying to throw my hand around the ball on release, and just let the Phase II come off my hand. The instant I began doing that, my pincounts went through the roof. I was amazed at how little effort it took to release the Phase II, only to have it slice beautifully into the pocket. My Ghost and Rhino were a bit less reliable using the same technique. When I let the Phase II do all the heavy lifting, I went from scoring 120-140 every game to routinely rising above 200. I even came within three frames of getting a 300 last week. And that's, again, with a 131 league average. I'm extremely satisfied with this ball. If you release it smoothly and gently, it'll do exactly what you predict it will the vast majority of the time.

First sanctioned 300 Game!
Bought this ball from this site a few weeks ago. In my 2nd league session with this ball I rolled my first ever 300 in league! I've already owned this ball before but needed a replacement as mine was destroyed (huge gash taken out of it) by a lane machine over a year ago. I've used the phaze 2 on just about every lane condition you can think of. Always the first ball out of my bag. Stays in play a long time for me even though it is a pretty strong ball. This is a can't miss ball reaction for the majority of bowlers.

Finishes strong. Threw a 258 my second game out the box with this ball. Compared to the Phase V, it's much stronger and will increase your scores by 30 pins

The hype is real
This ball lives up to the hype and I was very skeptical at first. Most pros review this ball and say its good but not everyone is a pro, as a intermediate player I can tell you that this ball is amazing and smells amazing. Only thing I can say bad about it is if you miss left; its missing left by a good bit (not the balls fault).

1st Ball out of the Bag on the fresh
Let me put it this way. If I see this ball is getting discontinued I WILL order at least one more. This is the first ball out of my bag on the fresh. Hooks a ton, hits like a truck and is surprisingly controllable despite a fair amount of pop on the backend. Amazing ball!

Versatile
If you can loft this ball out in your 3rd game of league bowling, you can stay on the outside and this ball hits hard with little deflection. You can move inside as well an slow it down or use more fingers. Versatile ball. If you throw real slow, not for you.

Still a solid choice for a lead off ball for league play
Very consistent reaction which is the Phaze II's biggest strong point. Once you find the break point and are consistent with your release and speed this ball delivers strikes. Requires heavy to medium oil, good choice for a lead off ball during league play. Another thing I like about the Phaze II is that it will let you know once the lanes are breaking down, it's easy to read.
By Camaro Dave from Albuquerque NM
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I loved this ball so much, I purchased a second one.
Love this ball, I purchased this ball back in September 2019 and series out I subbed on a league and had a 600 plus series. The next day in my doubles league, I threw another 600 plus series with a high in the 260's. I loved the ball so much that I got another one and had it drilled with the layout that I've used since 1997. I threw it in league the following week and first game out of the box was a game in the 240's. This ball is flat out amazing,! My arsenal consists of (2) Phase 2's, a Physix, Hammer Pink Blackwidow, Pitch Black, and Hammer Blackwidow spare ball and suffice to say, I use my Phase 2's about 75% of the time. If you have a chance to get one, get this ball it's a must have.

I love this ball. I first started with a sky rocket averaged 140 now with the phaze 2 I averaged 180 and I had mixed feelings thinking this would be to much ball for me but not at all it kind of helped me become a better bowler and learn to adjust. If it hits the pocket 99.9 percent is a strike other wise lots of 5 pins lol first game I shot 266
By Dakota from North Carolina
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Trash.
Let me start this off by saying that I love storm I love their products however the storm phase 2 is an absolute overrated overpriced piece of garbage it is not worth your time it is not something for good one handed bowlers it's just a weak ball all around. I average 210 and I hook the ball very well. I got it drilled to hook a little bit later down lane and I tried to hook the ball 2 handed to get as much hook as possible and it just comes out weak. I've seen other 2 handers use this ball to success but this ball is no bueno.

What is the recommended drilling pattern for this ball?

Question:
How is this ball going to react differently from the Phaze
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The difference between the Phaze and Phaze II is the coverstock and finish. The Phaze II is a solid coverstock with a 3000 Abralon finish to help get the Phaze II reading in the midlane with a strong smooth hook reaction. The Phaze is a pearl cover with a polished finish to get it more length with a sharper backed hook. Because the Phaze II reads well in the midlane it helps the Phaze II read heavier oil than the Phaze also.
Question:
Where would this ball fit in with the storm lock?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The Storm Lock is the higher performance ball so it would cover more boards. The Phaze II would read the lanes just a little earlier than the Lock which helps it start hooking just a little earlier but it would still be just under the overall hook that the Lock has. You may could use this behind the Lock if the Lock is just barely too aggressive but you would not be able to use this for very long before you would have to change again to something that was a little weaker because it is just under the Lock in performance.
Question:
What the RG Ratio mean ?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The United States Bowling Congress defines the RG (Radius of Gyration) of a bowling ball as a measurement in inches and is the distance from the axis of rotation at which the total mass of a body might be concentrated without changing its moment of inertia. The RG is a measurement by some manufacturers in a range from 2.460" to 2.800", but some companies have converted them to a 1-10 scale to help give the consumer a better frame of reference. The These numbers describe the distribution of mass in the given bowling ball and RG is an account of the location of that mass inside the given bowling ball.
Question:

Question:
How does it compare to Storms Invasion..my favorite ball
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
At the time the Invasion was a high performance ball while the Phaze II was an upper mid performance ball. This would mean the Invasion would be just a little stronger. Also the Invasion as a 4000 grit out-of-box and that would give is a little more length on the lanes than the Phaze II (3000 grit).
Question:
Would this bowl be better than the Ebonite futura?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
They are very very comparable. I could not say which one is better. The Phaze II has been around longer but the Futura is a newer release and because it is newer it has been a little more popular as of late. So it is a toss up but if you like Ebonite, you may go Futura and if you like Storm usually you may go Phaze II.
Question:
I have a marvel pearl I'm looking for something to open the lane up is the phase that ball
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Yes, the Phaze II could definitely be that option. This will read better in the midlane so you could play this more in the middle through the heavier oil at times and allow you to swing the ball more.
Question:
In a 14# ball which has a greater hook potential phase2 or pro motion?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The Pro-Motion is going to have a higher hook potential than the Phaze II.
Question:
How does this compare to the super soniq?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This would be pretty close to the Super Son!Q because both are upper mid performance balls designed for medium to heavy oil and both have a 3000 grit finish. The Phaze II has a solid cover versus the hybrid cover on the Super Son!Q so the Super Son!Q may go just a little longer because of this but not much.
Question:
How does this ball compare to the idol
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This would be very similar to the Idol but it may have just slightly more length because it was a 3000 grit finish and the Idol was 2000 grit. Besides this difference the balls have almost identical specs.
Question:
How would this ball compare to The Hyroad Nano?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This ball is considered an upper mid performance ball for medium to heavy oil and the Hy-Road Nano was a mid performance more for medium oil. They have a similar reaction on the lane because they were both solid covers with a duller finish but the Phaze II is stronger.
Question:
Can you resurfaced and shine 2,500?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
We do not currently have a 2500 grit sanding pad but you can use a Storm Step 3 compound to get a similar finish to 2500 grit.
Question:
how does this compare to the physix
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The Physix is going to be a little stronger overall hook because it has a stronger weight block and stronger cover. The Physix does not a little more length than the Phaze II also because the Physix has a hybrid cover versus the solid on the Phaze II.
Question:
What’s the hook potential, length rating, & breakpoint shape of the Phase 2
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This is an upper mid performance ball so it will have a high hook potential in medium oil conditions and it will have a medium to high hook potential in heavier oil. The ball has a duller finish so it will read more in the midlane and have a smooth arcing hook down the lane.
Question:
How does this compare to the Axiom?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
They are going to be very very similar actually. Both have a solid coverstock with a 3000 grit finish. The weight blocks are also very similar in performance. With the Axiom being the newer release of the two it may have just a slightly higher hook potential but it is not by much and they are going to be almost identical in performance.
Question:
Is this a good ball for a full roller lefty?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This ball can be drilled for a full roller and for a left handed bowler. You would just have to make sure you let your drilling know how you want this drilled and they will lay the ball out so it fits your style.
Question:
I bowl two handed and I throw the phase three pin down would the phasell do me any good like that
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The Phaze II is designed to read much earlier than the Phaze III and it will have a smoother arcing hook down the lane compared to the Phaze III which has good length and a more angular backend.
Question:
What is the difference in performance of a 13lb ball compared to a 14lb ball?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:

Question:
The Phaze II is not good for slow ball speed, how slow is slow
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
There are a lot of variables to consider on this. If you have a slower ball speed and a lower rev rate then you could possibly still use this ball. If you have a slower ball speed and an average or higher rev rate then you could still like this ball but you may have to use it more in heavy oil only. A slower ball speed may be something under 13mph.
Question:
how does storm phaze 2 compare phaze 3
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The Phaze II is designed to read the lanes earlier for a smoother arcing hook. The Phaze II also can handle medium to heavier oil conditions while the Phaze III is more for medium oil.
Question:
PHASE 2, CANT I DRILL SAME AS HY ROAD PIN UP
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This ball has a different reaction from the Hy-Road out of the box. It will want to read the lanes earlier and have a smoother arcing hook while the Hy-Road will read later on the lanes. You can still drill them the same but they will not react quite the same due to their other features.
Question:
Is this ball intended for 2 hand use
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This ball is designed for one or two handed bowlers.
Question:
Is this ball a good fit for a full roller
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This ball would work for a full roller but you would just need to make sure your driller sets up the layout for a full roller to get the best performance from the ball.
Question:

Question:
Does it make sense to pair this ball with the Hyper Solid for league?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hello, the Storm Phaze II would be a good option for your first ball of the night then once the lanes start to break down a bit you could use the Roto Grip Hyped Solid.
Question:
Which is a stronger ball with more hook potential, the black widow ghost or the storm phase 2?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hello, the Storm Phaze II has a higher hook potential than The Hammer Black Widow Ghost due to the coverstocks.
Question:
If your going to pair something good with Phaze two which would you recommend the Iq ruby or exotic gem?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hi Star, both options would be a great compliment to the Phaze II while the Exotic Gem would react slightly earlier and more aggressively than the IQ Tour Ruby.
Question:
I am considering either a phase 2 or phase 5 to compliment my roto grip Rst x-3. Which do you think would work best?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hi Kratos, either would be a great compliment but the Storm Phaze V would go longer on the lanes than the Storm Phaze II.
Question:
What would be the next best benchmark ball after the Phaze 2?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Another benchmark type ball from Storm would be the Storm IQ Tour Ruby. This ball has more length than the Phaze 2 but has been a very versatile piece for a lot of bowlers bags.
Question:
How do you drill a ball without the person standing right in front of you
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hi Mr. Rob! If you select the drilling option it will allow you to enter your measurements and drilling patter for custom drilling which costs $39.95.

Question:
If I get a 13lbs Storm Phase 2, will it have the same core as the heavier ones?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hey, Bob! Yes, the 13lb ball will have a modified core to accomodate the lighter weight.
Question:
How would the Hammer Effect fit below this ball
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The Phaze II and Hammer Effect are both designed to work in medium to heavy oil conditions. The Phaze II will read earlier on the lanes for a smoother arcing hook while the Effect will go longer and have a more angular backend hook. I would not necessarily say the Effect works below the Phaze II however. I think they will just give you a different look on similar lane conditions. So if you are bowling in leagues one night and a lot of people are using a similar solid cover ball with duller finish to help their ball read earlier and have an arcing hook, you may want to change from the Phaze II to the Effect which will allow you to find another line and play later on the lanes so your Phaze II is not having to compete in a part of the lane that will likely burn up quicker due to more bowlers using similar equipment.
Question:
What’s in the phase 2 that’s different from all of the other phases?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The weight block in the Phaze 2 is the same weight block in all of the other Phazes ( Velocity ). The only difference is the coverstocks and the finish. The solid coverstock and 3000 grit finish help this ball work well up to heavier conditions without paying the premium price of a higher performance ball so this is a great value option for people looking for a strong ball that handles fresh, heavy oil.
Question:
I was just wondering if a 14lb phase 2 would react and hit just as hard as a 15 or 16lb ball

Answer:
In short the answer is no. As you drop in weight the ball will not carry as well as a heavier weight ball. However, because this ball has a good hook potential, it can create a good entry angle to the pocket and this will make the drop off in weight less significant because you are still going to get a good angle into the pocket. So while the 14lb may not hit or carry quite as well as a 15lb or 16lb ball, it still packs a lot of punch and is not as noticeable of a drop off as a ball that has less hook and less entry angle to the pocket.

Question:
How do you drill the holes in a bowling ball without the measurements
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Our only option at this time for the custom drilling option is for if you can provide us with your measurements either from a drill sheet you had on a previous ball or from a proshop who has measured and given you the measurements in person. If you do not already have the measurements, it would be best to get the ball without our drilling and take this to be custom fit by a local proshop.
Question:
does it come with the hole for your fingers
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The ball will not come pre-drilled unless you select the custom drilling option we have as an add on option for an extra fee. If you do not select the drilling option then the ball will come without holes and you may have this drilled at a local proshop.
Question:
How does the phaze 2 compare to black widow mania
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
While both bowling balls are upper mid performance balls designed to work in medium to heavy oil, the similarities pretty much stop there. The Phaze II is designed to read much earlier on the lane and give you a smoother arcing hook down the lane. The Widow Mania is designed to go longer and give a more angular backend hook reaction. While both say medium to heavy oil conditions, the Phaze II would be the better option heavier oil and the Widow Mania would be the better option in medium but they can work on either.
