My 2Fast and my 2Furious were bought together and drilled identically. The pin on both balls is 2.5-3inches, and was drilled with the pin about an inch or an inch and a half above my ring finger with the CG kicked out right, and the drilling was meant to not change much and sort of let the ball do what it was originally designed for.
This ball was my go to ball for the vast majority of the season as I have always preferred a ball that got farther down the lane with more angle on the backend, and thus the pearl cover stock of this ball (in comparison to the 2Furious) just seemed to suit me better. The ball was definitely not the ball to start a day with if the pattern had even a remotely high amount of oil (either in volume or in length) but I normally used a 2Furious for those sorts of patterns, and would find transitioning to this ball extremely easy as soon as the lanes opened up a bit.
For a mid-priced ball, this ball was phenomenal at recovering from mistakes in my own ball placement, and hit the pocket with enormous amounts of energy. In collegiate competition we normally bowl seven games on day 1 with 5 person-teams (so 35 games total) without re-oiling, and as the lanes opened up and dried out this ball was always the ball to go to. I could get as deep as I wanted and know that this ball would get the length needed to bowl on the condition while still having enough energy to make a strong move to the pocket. On a more typical house shot, I could straighten my line up and play the outside of the lane and watch this ball find friction down the lane and blow racks away. The fall quickly became one of the two balls I used in the only league I bowled this season (alongside my tropical heat).

My 2Fast was drilled to jump off the friction; it is an aggressive drilling with the pin above my middle finger and the CG kicked right for a strong finish. The 2Fast is no doubt one of my favorite bowling balls that I have purchased this past year, its pearl cover-stock offers a smooth controlled movement of the ball down the lane, and a strong hook in the back end.
Out of the box, this ball has offered me the best combination of average ball speed (15/16mph at release), with an average rev rate (200-300rpm), On dryer conditions this ball allows me to move left without sacrificing any ball reaction down lane. On longer/heavier conditions the ball allows me to play the middle of the lane (typically area with the majority of oil for house conditions) where it has enough hold and strength to crush the pocket once the ball clears the oil. In addition to being able to play the middle of the lane, straight up the outside of the lane is also an option available to the bowler.
This ball with its great length and massive backend strength has become one of my favorites thus far for all sorts of conditions, long-heavy, short-medium, it doesn’t matter the ball gives you a strong reaction and finish down lane. I would highly recommend this ball to anyone looking to fill an arsenal gap for those shorter medium oil patterns.

I purchased my 2Fast in order to have a ball that would work best on medium to light oil. Although I felt that this ball was very condition specific which limited how often I could use it, I liked that the 2Fast gave me more length and had great back end action. Of all of my equipment my 2Fast is the one that typically gives me my largest margin for error. With great reaction and recovery my 2Fast had the largest area of play resulting in pocket shots although I may have missed my mark.
I would typically bring out my 2Fast later in the day while at tournaments after the lanes had been broken down a substantial amount. As soon as I was able to use the 2Fast, however, playing up 5 would give me a smooth transition with arcing/angular back end reaction and great pocket shots. Overall I am grateful that I do have the 2Fast because it is fantastic once the shot has broken down and I need a consistent and reliable reaction from my equipment.

This ball certainly lives up to its name! The STORM 2Fast, featuring the well-known R2S coverstock, is the “polished” brother to the 2Furious with the same core. I had this ball drilled long, and it provides for a very smooth, nearly linear glide to the breakpoint, whereupon it snaps back with so much force that it is almost impossible not to carry.
On medium-length and broken-down patterns, this ball performs very well. Even when the heads are dry and the back-end is flooded, the 2Fast will continue to provide a consistent, powerful flip-and-roll action that will cause jaws and pins to drop. The only time I would not recommend this ball is on shorter conditions, where the 2Fast is likely to hook too early and go through the face.

The Storm 2Fast is one of the most versatile balls that Storm makes. It has the ability to play on early/wet shots with it's surprisingly great midlane read while at the same time able to still finish strong when moving inside in late/dry conditions. The combination of the core and coverstock make this a HOT ball which can fit in anyone’s arsenal. Whether you are someone who guides the ball to the pocket or someone who rips the cover off the ball, the 2Fast is a great choice. Combining this with Storm's other ball in the HOT line, the 2Furious, you can have a solid arsenal that will be able to stand up to nearly any shot you will encounter, whether league shot, or tournament condition.
