I drilled this ball to go long with a slight arcing back end. VERY good results. Used it on fried out heads at our state tournament and shot 2000+ on a less than friendly scoring environment.
The ball revs early but provides a very readable midlane reaction. Works very well on blocks (allows you to bank the dry) and fried heads, not very good on carrydown but its not really meant for that condition.
Overall, a great arsenal ball, I'm tempted to try one with a more aggressive pin placement to see how it does on fried heads with carrydown...
Definitely a winner from Storm!!

it came out. Since then my average has jumped 20 pins. I recommend
Storm to anyone who hasn't tried their stuff before.

The El Nino Wrath, no matter what style of bowler you are, is a fantastic piece or, erm, resin. This is an extremely forgiving ball. You'll hardly ever leave a split with this ball and when you do you throughly deserve it. While, from my experince anyway, the El Nino Wrath doesn't have great punch, it's pin-reaction more than makes up for this. A super-reliable line with a hint of backend allows the ball to give itself the room to spread the pins.
I was a 155 bowler I purcahsed this ball and it raised my game by a good 10-15 pins. It's durable too. I've had it for two years now and I just bowled a 639 with it so it retains its energy.
I reccomend this ball and I should know, I have a goldfish called Fred.

It's very versatile. Mine is laid out with the pin to the right, and below the ring finger. The CG is about 5 inches below the pin, to the right of the thumb hole. There is an extra hole as well.
This ball goes about midlane and it hits like a truck. I love the pin action that this ball causes. I've used it on wood and synthetic and it still hits the same. It does tend to skid in heavier oil, however.
Overall - It goes midlane to long, turns predictably. Hits very nice, takes out corners well. Versatile, but not for very heavy oil or extreme dryness. I give it a 9.25/10

Bowling is without a doubt the dumbest, most pointless, most idiotic excuse for a game that has ever been invented. So, what time are we bowling tomorrow?

i'm going to quote a friend by saying, you might as well call this ball el nine-o. on house shots, this ball is way to much skid/snap....like a 7, the ball makes a right angle when it flips over.
but when you get it on tuffer sport shots...they tame it down a little. i can get way left, loft the guttercap, and not worry about it NOT coming back...i just have to worry about going through the nose.
overall...not too bad of a ball, you just have to know when to use it and when to keep it in the bag.

Been sittin around my garage for about a year. Near 4 inch pin out, mass bias shifted off line to the right and just below cg.
A quick aside a friend of mine had always told me, "I'd like to see you drill up the Wrath!".
Well now I have.
Pin right above the ring finger about 1/2 inch and cg dead center of grip and mass bias out near track. A 125 degree drilling. (trying to lessen the midlane in this very light application house for a hard revving low rg core).
Drilling would also be called 5 1/4 X 5 1/2. Pin to pap and cg to pap.
This ball was white padded and brought to a high gloss with black magic.
Of all the balls on this long very thin application on the left this was second best to a hot wire. Compared to a V2 pearl which I am quite fond of I notice these differences.
V2 pearl revs a little harder (V2 is at 2000 and El Nino at 1000 both polished)
V2 has a stronger pin and cg so it has a touch more midlane.
Backend for both balls is strong slightly angular and energetic with lots of action. In addition the core orientation of 125 for the Wrath and more like 60 degrees for the V2 are a big difference in midlane on this touchy shot!
This ball is everything I thought it would be in that it revs hard but penetrates down the lane well because of the harder older style pearl coverstock(hardness much higher than today's triple X). Like 77 to 74 on durometer.
This ball is still seen often in our saving money on oil area where proprietors feel that oil on the left is a luxury they can't afford and don't need to.
(I mean there aren't many to complain).
Used by both lefties and righies I can see why. This ball reminds me greatly of a slightly longer crimson red sledgehammer in move rev, flip and hit!
Truly probably a best of breed that has lots of application today!
Fits almost right in between an X factor and Triple X as far as flippiness. Slightly longer than both due to the higher hardness factor. And let me tell you this sucker carries in relation to its deceptive but pinging brother in law the El Nine - O! solid.
If you bowl on thin long applications this ball may be the ticket due to it's old style skidability(is that a word). Leaves nothing to be desired in relation to other great ones in this slot(low rg pearls, Wired, V2 pearl, Triple X). May be better than all by a skinch!
REgards,
Luckylefty
PS I'd rate this right up there with the impressive V2 pearl and may actually move ahead of it into my bag in this slot. 2nd to 3rd ball up from bottom for dryer medium shots!
PPS I'm looking for another used one!

Dislikes: That it's been discontiniued.
I just shot my first ever 300 game with this ball on July 9, 2006. I can't believe after 7 years and many many games that this ball can still perform. As long as it stays that way It'll continue to be my 'A' game ball.
I found out the hard way that any bowling ball will last you a long time if you maintain it. After each shot I wipe the ball with a microfiber towel. I also deep clean it after every league night and practice session. Since I've been doing that all of my bowling balls have been very consistent.
I used to think I needed every new ball that came out, but that will get you nowhere but broke. Do your research, do your homework, talk to people at your local pro shop. Buy a ball that will last you a long time. It'll save you a lot of money in the long run and you'll have an awesome and consistent arsenal. Good luck!

Likes:Greatest Ball ever made
Dislikes: that Storm has not put out a throwback
I stand 100000% behind all the posts above and can tell you that my used "wrath" is still my go to money ball. Carries from everywhere, and has the old school, Flip/Snap, not the early flippy crap that most companies put out now.
