10946 - Storm / Storm Absolute Power
« Last post by StormRoto on April 28, 2024, 09:24:23 PM »

Right Handed
PAP - 3 7/8 up 1 1/2
RPM - 400
MPH  - 16-17
Tilt   -  17

Emerson Lanes Parkersburg WV
42 House Shot
44 Kegel Lithium

The new addition to the Storm Premier Line is the Absolute Power. The Power is the Solid version of the original Absolute.  To be honest I had a hard time matching up with the original Absolute.  But with the solid cover (R2S Deep Solid) this to me was a totally different ball. I drilled mine 4 1/4 x 4 x 2 pin up. The Absolute Power is a Home Run to me! The power just reads the pattern the correct way. It the most motion I've seen downlane out of a Asymmetrical Solid in a long time.  The Power really excelled on the longer patterns like the Kegel Lithium pattern that I bowled on.
I have drilled 3-4 for customers at the shop from 2 handers, strokers, crankers. The Absolute Power rolled great for all the different styles! I think it is a must have in bowlers arsenals!

Bowl up a Storm!

18590 - Storm / Re: Summit Peak
« Last post by hammermike2000 on April 28, 2024, 04:42:21 PM »
Layout: 55 x 4 5/8 x 30

The Storm Summit Peak combines a flippy coverstock with a quick-revving core, and the end result is a lot of ball motion.  Due to it's shiny coverstock prep, it is still best on medium oil lane conditions, but the overall amount of downlane motion is quite impressive.  The original Summit is one of my favorite sanded symmetrical balls that Storm has released in quite some time; it can handle a good bit of oil, but is versatile enough to still be quite usable on medium conditions.  The Summit Peak takes the reaction of the Summit and moves it 3-4 feet further down then lane, making them a perfect 1-2 punch. With it's out of box surface, the Summit Peak is at home on any medium to medium-dry lane condition.

Layout: 45 x 4 ½ x 35

As with the original Absolute itself, the combination of a weaker cover and a strong core results in a unique ball reaction for the Absolute Power.  It is clean through the front but has a reliable arcing midlane/backend. This ball rolls the best for me on medium oil conditions, as the coverstock does not have enough strength to dig through heavy oil.  When I encounter heavier oil, balls such as the Optimum Idol or the Summit are much better choices. As the lane breaks down through the night, moving to the Absolute Power is the right move. As with the original Absolute, when this ball encounters the correct lane condition, the pin carry is markedly fantastic.

52752 - Storm / Re: The Road

The Road is Storms newest thunder line release. The Road features the same FE2 core found in all the previous Hyroad series balls, but in now wrapped in the AI outer core tech. This drops the RG and Diff 2 points each while still maintaining that signature Hyroad motion they have all been known for. The Road is also wrapped in REX hybrid. The Road for me fits right in-between the Hyroad and Phaze II. The Road for me is going to be the perfect league ball for blending the wet/dry conditions as well as something I can go to later in the day for tournaments.

12930 - Roto Grip / Attention Star by K Cordy
« Last post by 9orbetter on April 27, 2024, 12:18:23 AM »
LANE CONDITION
Tested:
THS 42' Med/Heavy

Layout: Pin above Middle Finger
VLS: 4 x 4 x 3 3/4
DA:  42 x 4 x 75

RG Description:
Ordinary? Far from it. Revolutionary? Absofrigginlutely right it is. Not only are we presenting you with the most advanced core technology since the invention of sliced bread, but we also decided what the heck, why not just mix in an inner block design never before released domestically. Yeah, you read that correctly, prior to this out of this world concoction from our R&D lab, the original Momentous™ Core was exclusive to our international market. But after countless seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks of computer research and testing, we figured out that density changes to this particular block and slug when placed in A.I. Core technology provided us with a motion we hadn’t seen before. And after multiple on lane tests, it was a quick and easy decision that we just had to wrap this baby with the time tested and proven eTrax™ PLUS Pearl Reactive coverstock to give us an overall reaction unlike anything offered on earth today.

My Review:
If the UC2 was your favorite, make way for the revolutionary Attention Star. Smooth and control was what I experienced in testing against a UC2 and RST-X3. Light carry hits from the AI tech helped increase my strike percentage  A true medium/heavy ball it allows me to play the track longer and easier for a low RG mid-high diff ball based on my layout. Less flippy than my VEBO and more predictable like the RST-X3 is a power tweeners dream as I wanted to take full advantage of dominating core and cover.
I did not try to cover a lot of boards due to the purpose of the layout and unique ball motion but it is very capable of crossing 39 boards. This ball has picked up a lot of traction due to PBA success and exceptional attributes highlighting its design and unparalleled performance.

Bowlers seeking to revolutionize their game will find the Attention Star to be a game-changer, offering a level of innovation unmatched by its peers and unleashing its full potential, its dominating presence and unique ball motion.

57239 - Faball / Re: Red Pearl Hammer info.
« Last post by MJS73 on April 26, 2024, 12:08:10 PM »
Thank you for all of the advice. I think I will pocket my money.
Getting a pearl (Blue or Red) Hammer was a bit sentimental because my grandfather gave me a blue one and bowled my highest game with that ball.

@BowlingForDonuts - I looked up that Purple Hammer on bowlingball.com and it has a perfect score of 142.9. My current ball I am rolling is the Burgundy Hammer which has perfect score rating of 128.7. The purple is listed for dry lanes while the burgundy is supposed to be for medium-heavy oil.
I am having trouble keeping the burgundy on the dry lanes I bowl on for league.

So I am confused. I thought as the perfect rating went up, the more the ball is supposed to hook. Are there other factors to help determine hook factor of a bowling ball? Am I missing something?

Thank you for input.

No one is questioning that the numbers were "real" but there is no questioning that the numbers were manipulated.  The VAERS database, for example, was without a doubt manipulated. Most people were diagnosed using a PCR test, a test that was normally run at 10-12 cycles but was bumped up to 35 cycles (or 40 in some cases) in order to turn up any minute particle of a Coronavirus. Add to that Kary Mullis, who invented the PCR test, had already publicly declared that the PCR test should not be used for virus detection because "PCR tests can detect 'anything in anybody' and can't tell you if you're sick, because it can be misleading without additional information". And then remember that the federal government coerced social media sites to take down any posts that contradicted the federal government's message (see Missouri's lawsuit v. Biden) and it should be clear that people were being manipulated into a state of fear, a state of fear that still exists in some people today, apparently.

And to anyone in the healthcare industry that says that they know firsthand how serious things were...ask your hospital administrator how financially successful your organization was during Covid. Then ask yourself if that organization would have turned down such a financial windfall. No for-profit organization (or not-for-profit, either) is going to turn down the truckloads of money that the government and pharma industry were delivering on a daily basis.  The numbers were most definitely real but not at all accurate.

And then ask yourself why the official definition of "vaccine" was changed during Covid.  Vaccine used to be defined as a substances that provides 'immunity' to a specific disease," reads the text of an Instagram post shared Nov. 4. "Now, Merriam Webster has literally changed the definition of 'vaccine' and removed the 'immunity' portion in order to possibly cover for the fact that the COVID 'vaccines' don't actually provide immunity from COVID.
