The Storm Summit Ascent comes with the R2S Solid Reactive, Centripetal™ HD -A.I. Core, and 4000-grit surface. This is the newest ball in the Summit line. This Summit is the cleanest of the three so far and  gets down the lane with plenty of pop. This ball reminds me of a symmetrical Absolute Power or in that area as I see it. I think this is the weakest of the 3 summits as the original summit and peak are a bit stronger. I compared it to both the Power and Peak and felt like a ball just below the Power/Peak. The Ascent seems to be a stronger IO Tour Solid due to the core being stronger with a bit more midlane. I am already liking this ball and it's going to be another home run from Storm!

This ball seems like it could replace a sensor solid and have the added benefit of adding more surface to it for an earlier read. Good ball to have in the bag for tournaments

Still no HP2 line balls in the line up - any new releases coming?

The Optimum Idol Pearl released 8-23-2024 is the newest addition to the Idol series. Filled with history going to the original Idol. Using the same trusted Icon core now with Al technology and wrapped in the micro Trac pearl cover. This is one of the most aggressive pearl Storm has to offer its customers. Using the Reacta Gloss polish this ball was really a quick to respond to friction. Using the dual angle layout of 40x5x45 this layout gives me a taller pin and travel distance down lane. I had to change the surface using a 3 thousand pad by hand to break down the polish. This allowed me to see the pattern better without losing my impact through the pins.

Storm Summit Ascent – WWRD 8/23/2024

Cover: R2S Solid Reactive Core: Centripetal HD - A.I. RG: 2.46 RG. Diff.: 0.056 Finish: 4000-Grit Abralon Fragrance: Cream Soda Storm’s new Summit Ascent is a Solid Symmetric Piece. This piece is good for Medium Volume Patterns. PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 400. Speed: 16.5. Drilled this piece with the Pin Up between the Fingers and CG kicked out 1” from the palm. I threw this on a left over house pattern. Out of Box ball motion was that it started in the mids with a smooth backend. I compared this piece to the Summit and Summit Peak. Summit was 1-1 Right weaker and the Summit Peak 2-2 Left. Summit was cleaner through the front with a smooth motion on the backend. Summit Peak was smoother through the fronts with a sharper backend. This piece fits between the Summit and Summit Peak. This is a Versatile piece that fits all styles of bowlers. Check out the Ball motion Video on my YouTube Page: https://youtu.be/xTwrynGyCN0
