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!

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

Very 1st game shot 279 and even 700 series. 2nd time out in league shot 267, 236, 268 for 771. Two other league outings shot 620, 638. Great ball. Lefty hardly leaves any 7-pins anymore.
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.

since my purchase i have shot multiple 250s, a 270 and 288 and a 713 set in there. I've only had it for a month and im a sub, cant imagine how good it will be if i bowled regularly.

This ball is fantastic, threw my 3rd 300 game (1st with this ball) an my 1st 800 ever. The ball explodes into the pocket.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
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?

10/5/2016 - By Bowling.Com StaffHow is this ball going to react differently from the Phaze
10/10/2016 - By Frank PThe 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.
10/13/2016 - By Bowling.Com StaffWhere would this ball fit in with the storm lock?
10/12/2016 - By SCOTTThe 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.
10/13/2016 - By Bowling.Com StaffWhat the RG Ratio mean ?
10/25/2016 - By FrankThe 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.
10/28/2016 - By Bowling.Com StaffDo you drill the holes?
11/10/2016 - By BobHello Bob. We do offer custom drilling for $39.95 and that can take 7-10 business days before it ships out. Otherwise the ball will come undrilled and you can take it to your local driller.
11/10/2016 - By Bowling.Com StaffYes I was wondering if you had this 15 lb ball with the pin , check, and mass lined up Pin at 3-3.5 and top we at 3-3.5
12/13/2016 - By DavidHi David! We do have 15 pounds available. Unfortunately, we do not have the inventory for the pin and top weight. After the order has been made, our warehouse will let us know what they have available.

2/17/2017 - By RonI wound like this ball in a heavy 12 pound do have it in stock
7/28/2017 - By jayI have the original phaze and a spare ball. I am averaging 210 at the moment and it brought my ave up from 180. I am looking for something that gives me a little more drive during my 1st/2nd game. Will this ball help drive when my original phaze seems to deflect a tad?
10/29/2017 - By JoshI have a lower rev rate (not terribly low). I was wondering if I’d still get it to hook?
12/12/2017 - By NickI am 2 handed and put lots of spin on my balls. Would this ball be good?
1/31/2018 - By ChrisHow would this ball do on a house shot or heavy oil lanes ?
11/1/2018 - By JoeHow do you caompare this ball to the Gamebreaker
1/15/2019 - By KeglerHow does this ball compare to the Roto Grip No Rules Exist? Looking to add another solid to my tournament bag.
2/23/2019 - By Ac21bThe Phaze II will be a little less aggressive than the Roto Grip No Rules Exist for the Phaze II is an Upper Mid Performance ball and the No Rules Exist is a High Performance ball.
2/25/2019 - By Bowling.Com StaffIm looking to replace my Idol Pearl with this ball to fit my lineup of Crux Prime and Fever pitch. How would this compare to the Idol pearl?
3/11/2019 - By MikeThe Phaze II will be a little more aggressive than the Idol Pearl for it is a solid coverstock and the Idol Pearl is a pearl coverstock. Meaning the Phaze II will hook sooner than the Idol Pearl.
3/11/2019 - By Bowling.Com StaffHow does this ball compare to the SON!Q
5/14/2019 - By SherronHow does this ball compare to the Web?
6/23/2019 - By Dr. KILLDOG of Omega Psi Phi Spr' 85Hello I’m all the way from the philippines is it possible to ship it to the Philippines?
8/28/2019 - By FredHow long did it take to ship th ball to the philippines
8/29/2019 - By FredHow does it compare to Storms Invasion..my favorite ball
9/29/2019 - By JennAt 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).
10/1/2019 - By Bowling.Com StaffWould this bowl be better than the Ebonite futura?
10/6/2019 - By PopThey 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.
10/8/2019 - By Bowling.Com StaffI have a marvel pearl I'm looking for something to open the lane up is the phase that ball
11/10/2019 - By TerryYes, 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.
11/12/2019 - By Bowling.Com StaffIn a 14# ball which has a greater hook potential phase2 or pro motion?
1/9/2020 - By BobHow does this compare to the super soniq?
1/11/2020 - By Jayman526This 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.
1/15/2020 - By Bowling.Com StaffHow does this ball compare to the idol
1/16/2020 - By ChadThis 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.
1/17/2020 - By Bowling.Com StaffHow would this ball compare to The Hyroad Nano?
1/24/2020 - By TimothyThis 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.
1/29/2020 - By Bowling.Com StaffCan you resurfaced and shine 2,500?
2/18/2020 - By Mercyhow does this compare to the physix
2/22/2020 - By lThe 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.
