Storm Tropical Surge Pearl Gold/Black

The Storm Tropical bowling ball legacy continues with the Surge core making a great bowling ball for entry level and casual league bowlers. The bright fun colors and unique fragrances make these fun balls appealing to bowlers of every skill level. Each ball features the Reactor Pearl Reactive coverstock that glides through the front of the lane, reacts down-lane, and creates optimum pin carry. The Surge core has a higher differential which brings dependability and a little more hook at the backend.

Question:


Can you purchase a ball that has NO fragrance whatsoever on it?

2/3/2022 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Unfortunately they will all have a fragrance. The fragrance will be pretty strong at first but it will gradually fade down as you use the ball more.

Question:


How long will the fragrance last? Will there always be some fragrance or will it completely wear away at some point?

4/7/2022 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


There is not a set time for how long the fragrance lasts. It may be pretty strong at first but after you use the ball a few games and after you clean the ball a few times it will start to dissipate some. The fragrance could be on there for years depending on how often you bowl or how often you clean or resurface it.

Question:


Does it come with grip pads in the hole for the bowling ball?

6/7/2022 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


We only offer a basic drilling option for this bowling ball at this time for $14.95. This basic drilling is a conventional grip which does not include any kind of inserts in the finger holes. The inserts are only offered for finger tip drilling and we do not have finger tip drilling offered for this ball.

Question:


Does the ball include left handed drilling?

6/22/2022 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


We do have drilling available for some bowling balls. If the drilling is offered on the weight you select we can do the drilling. The drilling is initially set up as right handed so if you need it to be left handed you would need to mention this in the customer comments page when checking out. The customer comments are on the final page after you enter your address and card information.

Question:


How does this compare to the ocean vibe

Have an answer to this question?

Hello, while both of these balls are entry level performance, the Hammer Ocean Vibe would have a higher hook potential than the Storm Tropical Surge Pearl.

Question:


I need a ball with little hook. What do you recommend

6/5/2023 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Hi Elaine, this is an entry level ball with minimal hook. You may look for a ball in the mid to high performance category for something with more hook.
