I wanted to put my two cents in on the Domination.  I drilled mine 4X4 with the pin just right of my ring finger and an extra hole on my pal just above my pap.  This ball is everything you have heard and then some!  This ball allows me to play some left to right heavier patterns without having to add surface or squaring up to the mix.  You can play in the oil without needing the friction to get it to face the pocket and carry.  It keeps the pins low like the original Paradigm and seems to hit harder then anything I have.  This ball should play well for all bowlers regardless of speed and rpm's.

  STORM ON!

I drilled mine 4x4 using the strongest drilling on Storm's drilling chart. I was a little leery drilling it this way since I had become a down & in player, because that's what the house dictated. I noticed all the guy's with huge averages (I'm 207)were swinging the ball and decided to give that a try again. I was thrilled with the results. Only one ten pin in three league games. Eight in a row, right out of the box. Plenty of skid, and a strong move to the pocket. This ball gave me several X's all by itself. Had a big 600 despite several mistakes on my part, didn't adjust fast enough, but the ball was fine when I finally made the right moves in the third game. If I don't shoot an honor score in the next two weeks, it won't be the ball's fault. Like I said, only one ten pin in three league games, well worth the price. Drill One.

Just drilled my Domination, wow what a ball.  This is a must have in your arsenal.  Storm has done it again.  The Domination is so clean through the heads
with a excellent backend.  It's great on multiple conditions, right out of the box.  If you don't get one of these you've missed out on the game.

This is one strong hitting ball from Storm ,drilled this one 3 3/8 strong and with my tweener game this ball throws pins off the walls better than any ball out .Clean thur the heads with a nice rev in the midlane on a variety of lane patterns and stand back and watch the pins fly ,i have more messengers than any ball i have thrown over the years ,drilled this ball for a friend and with his coast to coast hook and he loved the hitting power on light hits were he has problems carrying and was a big plus for him ,all the players i have drill this one for loves it , if you want power and what all  players are looking for , this is a  great add on to the Paradigm line that just gets better , try this one out .

16# ball, pin right and slightly above ring finger, RAD marking right of thumb by an inch or so, small weight hole right of PAP.  Bowled on old HPL synthetic lanes that weren't oiled after three shifts with the last league made up of beginners.  Threw my regular stuff and it broke way too soon outside and if I moved inside around 3rd arrow it hit the carrydown after burning too much in the heads and came in dead.  With the Domination I toyed around and found I could actually go in to fifth arrow and score.  That is pretty remarkable for me.  Tried my XXX on that line and it just sailed.

Next threw on a freshly oiled lane with the league shot and the ball wouldn't wrinkle at fifth arrow, missed wide at fourth arrow, pinged inbetween fourth and third arrows but started to hit just outside third arrow.  My XXX and Impulse Zone would not play that line, they needed more dry sooner.  Shot about average with more strikes than normal and more designs than normal.

In actual 5 man team league play on fresh oil I had a huge strike ball the first game but it was negated with high pocket splits.  Second game the ball didn't carry quite as well and by the last frame of the second game it was missing the pocket!  This ball absolutely hates carrydown.  Moved in and threw out farther to catch dry boards and the ball hooked way too soon.  Played in more and it didn't hook soon enough.  Classic over/under.  Now that I know this, I can play around with lines and speeds or maybe just put this ball away after two games.

Overall, I see a ball very similar to my XXX only a lot stronger at the break.

This is without a doubt the most incredible ball I have ever thrown. It is versatile enough to play on dryer league shots yet strong enough to rock the pins from an oily pattern with the best back end movement I have ever used. Terrific job Storm.

Updated review:  

Had a chance to use this ball some more (original surface) and found out it responds very well to speed adjustments.  I had written earlier about the ball overreacting to the carrydown but with a little less speed and loft it will still get into a great roll after several league games have changed the oil distribution.  I just had to quit overthrowing it like I was used to doing with my duller surfaced older equipment.  It hits better than any ball I've had lately, leaving very few corner pins even on some questionable hits.  Just a really good match for a nice easy shot allowing you to make full use of the house wall.  Tried it on a PBA pattern also and it still had a big pocket, carrying corner pins consistantly as often as I could get the ball to the pocket.(What a novel concept - throw a bad shot and get punished for it!)  I am going to enjoy bowling with this ball!

This ball is one of the sickest hooking balls out right now. i have my pin to the right and above fingers with cg kicked out and RAD on the right side of my thumb. I am right handed. This layout is for inside lines and this ball gets through the heads awesome and makes a left turn. if ur a cranker get one this ball is awesome.

updated info:

ball 15lb 5 oz 2- 2 1/2 pin 2.4 top -- 4 x 3 1/2 drilling was used nearly like drillling pattern 4c inn the Storm ball drilling folder. another ball was drilled using a  stacked leverage drilling. Both balls finish very strong and the explosion at the pocket keeps the pins low for more messengers..  House patterns used on
wood with guardian 30' buff to 42
wood lanes    32' buff to 40
hpl 900 with a buff to 40 unkn oil length
hpl 900 30' oil buff to 39

Storm is truly ahead of its time. This ball is a great addition to any arsenal

I have thrown my domination for a few weeks now, and this ball is really strong. It is 5 boards stronger than my frankie may. It is clean in the front and picks up nicely in the backend. The ball is definatly not speed sensative either, you can speed up and I havn seen mine skate yet. It is drilled pin above fingers 4 inches from pap and the rad is swung 2 inches right of my thumb and there is a 1 inch weight hole on my val that took out all the posative side weight. IMO alot better ball then the original paradigm.

Got a 15 pound 21/2 in pin.  Drilled it up 4x4.  Agressive drilling on a skid/flip ball, yet surprisingly controllable on the fresh house pattern. Have to lay off it a little in the early going or the 9 pins will creap up and if the lanes are dry, it won't perform but then you should be using this ball anyway.

I really can't describe the drilling sorry, but I can give you a bit of info...
16#
2-3'' Pin
Semi Agressive-pin out...CG kicked out

This ball has a interesting taste to it...For me the ball really doesn't fit to my style, as I hoped it would.  It does roll out well and does hit nice, but for me to be good with it...I have to be perfect...And that doesn't always happen.  For those of you reading this, I would suggest it only for medium-heavy oil with no carry down.  Anything off and this ball doesn't really fit.  I would not really recommend this ball...

Thanks,

1-2 pin, 2-3 top weight

Ball reacts just the way storm describes it. Ball glides through the heads then takes a hard turn left. Like my special agent, the balls hitting power and carry are exceptional. Carrydown hasn't been a problem with this ball either. 10/10 for the domination.

I have been slacking on this review.

3.5" pin
15#
left it OOB finish
17.7 mph
350-380 revs

I have two of these balls one i drilled 5x3 with a 3" pin buffer. The other one is drilled 4x4 with a 2" pin buffer. The first one is strong enough on a THS the layout gets the ball through the heads and the mids very easy saving up allot of energy for the back-end. The ball seems to widen the pocket by 2-4 boards. The 4x4 drilling seemed to hook up a little sooner but still had plenty of energy for the back end. If your looking for a strong layout for Nationals this is it. I love both of my Domination's they are the best bowling balls i have ever owned. Great job STORM.
