59236 - Storm / Re: Absolute Power
« Last post by Sandy McIntire on Today at 07:29:55 AM »
I am higher speed, rev challenged 220-250ish, high tilt, high rotation, and super low track player. I drilled my Absolute Power 5.5 x 3 x 1.75 using Storm VLS.
My axis point is 3 1/4 over and 7/8 up.
The Absolute Power is a welcomed addition to arsenal it is early but not too early with a strong round shape. I generally use this ball game 1 of league or when there is not enough friction right. The Absolute power by Storm definitely does not disappoint and the Blueberry Orange Cake scent is Absolutely amazing!

Hey, and welcome back as we have a great one for you from Storm Bowling Products The Road! If you're a fan of these reviews, first and foremost, I want to thank you for hopefully enjoying these reviews and videos and hope it gives you some information to take back when looking to get your next bowling ball. From the previous reviews and videos of the Hustles, as I've mentioned many times being more speed dominant than rev dominant, the weaker equipment tends to give me a really bad over-under reaction but with this ball, I did not really see it unless it was human error. The Road video starts off with a strike and so I start moving to the right a little bit and you could see where the next couple of shots the ball hangs and so I move back to the left a little bit at a time. and as you can see the more I move left the better. this ball looked off the spot. Once again, balls lower than the mid-performance or benchmark-ish balls usually don't fare too well for someone like me who is more up the back of the ball as the ball is forward most of the way down the lane. As you can see this ball was something that moved left which again is something I don't tend to do a lot as I usually focus staying within bigger balls. it changed my mind a little bit and really can't wait to work over the summer dialing in those hustles. The road. I am definitely going to keep at its box finish and manipulate a few balls around this one and really define the bag and I definitely see this ball being a staple in the bag for some time to come.

Sam Cooper. Roto Grip Amateur Staffer. Layout 50x5.25.35. If you love the original Hyroad or any of the other thunder line bowling balls. Be sure to check out the new Road! Featuring REX Hybrid cover stock and the same inverted FE2 Core wrapped in the AI Core tech. The core’s RG numbers are brought down to 2.55 and the differential is now the same better the 14-16lbs balls at .045. These numbers give this ball that middle of the road ball feel(pun intended). Looking for this ball to be in a similar slot to the 900 Global Zen Gold label in the bag.

Comparing the Road to the latest thunder line ball the night road. The new Road seems to read the mid lane a lot more and that is due to the Road having a hybrid cover over night road having a pearl cover. The night road for me was clean yet on the smoother side of things. The Road responds quicker and has similar motion. Compared to the OG Hyroad and Pearl the Road feels like step up from the OGs. The REX cover is much stronger than R2S in my opinion means the Road is a more usable option on more conditions. If that sounds good to you then you definitely want to check out the new Road!

58328 - Storm / Re: Absolute Power Ball Review
« Last post by Chicago972 on May 15, 2024, 02:45:11 PM »
Hello everyone and welcome to another Beyond the Arrows Ball Reviews brought to you by Striking Results Pro Shop, Bowlifi and Turbo 2 n 1 Grips, today we will be reviewing the new Storm Absolute Power.
The Absolute Power has a low RG value of 2.48 which means it will rev up early and a medium differential of 0.050 and a high intermediate differential of 0.021 which will have a slightly sharp change of direction on the backend.
The Absolute Power is the second installment in the Absolute line that has the Sentinel Core.  The R&D team has also reduced the amount of weight block mass near the area where the thumb hole is typically placed. This ensures the Absolute Power will change direction and continue through the pins better and more consistently.
As per the R2S Deep Solid cover, the coverstock is cleaner through the front compared to the flagship R2S formula. This yields a more aggressive shape to the pocket with more overall angle through the pins.
I did a ball comparison to the Storm Absolute Power and the 900 Global Xponent at 42 ft house shot, 25 ml of oil. 
In comparison to the Storm Absolute, the Power starts up earlier in the midlane due to the Deep solid cover verses the deep hybrid cover of the Absolute. The Absolute will hook more in the backend then the Power which makes them a powerful one-two punch.
In comparison to the 900 Global Xponent, the Power starts up earlier and hooks more in the backend but where the Xponent has a lower flare potential where it will be a good where the Absolute is a little too long, the Xponent will be that in between piece. 
As per the surface adjustments, the Absolute Power has a box surface of 4,000 abralon, where I saw went too long especially on heavy oil.
On heavy oil the optimum surface would be a 1000 grit Abralon.
In the bag, will be the Absolute Power, Optimum Idol, Absolute and the VEBO
