58792 - Storm / Re: Summit Peak
« Last post by crasnic2012 on Today at 03:42:27 PM »
Cover Stock: TX-23 Pearl Reactive
Finish: Reacta Gloss
Core: Centripetal HD
RG: 2.46
Differential: 0.056
 
The latest addition to Storms Master line is the new Summit Peak. Combining the Centripetal HD with A.I Technology with the Flippy TX-23 Pearl Cover and you have a perfect compliment to the early rolling Summit. The Original summit picked up a roll very quick with a very smooth backend reaction which was great on fresh heavier oil conditions, but when you had to start moving a left, it would tend to lay off on the backend and the Summit Peak is perfect go to ball. The Peak picks up a roll earlier than most pearl balls so you can still throw it on those medium to medium to heavy oil shots, but where it really shines is the backend reaction. When the Summit Peak hits the friction, it wants to pick up go, and rolls very heavy through the pins. For me it is good step down from the Attention Star for me, when I am having trouble getting it through the fronts.

55171 - Roto Grip / Roto Grip Hustle XRAY
« Last post by Kevin Duncan on May 12, 2024, 08:27:19 PM »
Roto Grip Hustle BRY and Hustle XRAY
Layout: 4.0 x 4.0 x 2 Storm Pin Buffer Layout
Rev Rate: 325 rpm, 7 degree of axis tilt, 40 degree of axis rotation
Testing information: 41 foot THS (medium to light volume)
Bowling Center: Fulton Bowling Center
Kegel Machine – Brunswick Anvilane

Roto Grip’s Hustle BRY utilizes the VTC Hybrid coverstock and the Hustle core, while the Hustle XRAY uses the VTC Solid coverstock and Hustle core.

Can you say Value?  Value is when the performance beats the expectations.  This is what you get with the Hustle line.  The Hustle BRY and Hustle XRAY, the newest entries into the HP1 line, are the definition of value.  Both have their place.  The Hustle XRAY is earlier and smoother down lane where the Hustle BRY is cleaner in the fronts and more boom down lane.  Pick the one that fits the gap in your bag or buy both. Lol.  If you bowl in a high friction bowling center, the BRY is probably the best answer.  The XRAY will be the better choice for bowlers wanting to keep their target in front of them and play straighter.

Champions Pro Shop at Fountain Bowl is also good. They've drilled all of my equipment for the past 13 years.

59155 - Roto Grip / Re: Hustle XRAY Review
« Last post by Oliver Lawson on May 11, 2024, 10:14:35 PM »
The newest addition to Roto Grip's HP1 line is the Hustle XRAY! It features the proven Hustle core wrapped in the popular VTC Solid coverstock. I drilled up a fresh IQ Tour edition to compare it to, and I was not at all surprised to see the difference between the two balls. I drilled both balls 5x4x4.25 2LS and kept the OOB finish on both. To cut to the chase, the Hustle XRAY is much cleaner through the front part of the lane but provides much more board coverage compared to the IQ Tour. The IQ tour is earlier and smoother throughout and covers fewer boards from right to left. This is mostly due to core shape and design. If I had a new Hustle PBR, I put this right at about the same mark as the PBR. Nonetheless, if you are looking for a great bang-for-your-buck ball, the Hustle XRAY is going to be a solid option to go with!

LANE CONDITION

Length:43

Volume: heavy

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): THS


COMMENTS

Likes:  The BEST continuation I have seen from an asymmetrical "oil ball" bar none. After using for 2 games I put it away for tournament season.  Can't wait to use it wherever there's some volume on the lanes.

Dislikes:  I can't even imagine anything yet!

57802 - Brunswick / Re: Beyond Infinity

LANE CONDITION

Length:41 ft

Volume: Med-heavy

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): THS


COMMENTS

Likes: THIS is an asymmetrical core ball that's house shot friendly.  Many with the super strong covers hit weak for me, but this one saves a ton of energy for the last 10-15 feet and with the lower intermediate differential is very continuous through the pins.  Carry has been exceptional after about 15 games to this point.

On a sidenote, the colors are brilliant.

Dislikes: Nothing yet

55171 - Storm / Storm Lightning Blackout
« Last post by Kevin Duncan on May 11, 2024, 08:09:54 PM »
Storm Lightning Blackout
Layout: 4.0 x 4.5 x 2 Storm Pin Buffer Layout
Rev Rate: 325 rpm, 7 degree of axis tilt, 40 degree of axis rotation
Testing information: 41 foot THS (medium to light volume)
Bowling Center: Fulton Bowling Center
Kegel Machine – Brunswick Anvilane

Storm’s Lightning Blackout utilizes the REX Pearl coverstock and the Warp AI core.  We add some surface to the Lightning Blackout – 3000 Abralon.  The test pattern was a 3-day old league pattern with some open play on it as well.  The pattern actually held up well as the testing went surprisingly well.  We tested the Lightning Blackout up against the Storm The Road.  Both balls use the REX cover.  The Road is a hybrid and the Lightning Blackout is a pearl.  It was clear during our test session that the Lightning Blackout was stronger and handled the oil better, especially on the misses left into the oil.  This could have been the surface helping, but I still think the Lightning blackout was the better option on this test pattern.
