The Street Rod bowling balls introduce a new core to the Storm line. I was excited to see this core shape, because one of my favorite balls years ago was the messenger by Columbia. The Street Rod and messenger share a very similar core shape. I drilled a pin 1-2 out ball, with my pin under my ring finger, and Cg on grip line (5 x 5 3/8).

I have found the Street Rod to give a reaction much like my Screamin' Banshee. The cover is the same, and over all movement is very similar. The Street Rod weight block reads the lane earlier for me than the thunder line, but with less flare and less backend reaction. This is something we needed in our line in my opion.  

I found out of the box, the Street Rod to be a little too aggressive in the midlane for me. After polishing with step 2, then step 3, I then hit the ball on all four quadrants with a well used 2000 abralon pad, and got the reaction I was looking for. The reactor cover gets through the fronts rather easily. The ball just absolutely blends out a walled house shot for me, as well as gives me control on tougher patterns. I used this ball at the RPC in Indiana this year, with great success. It was a key reaction to getting me into the finals. Just last night, I shot 267 (missed seven pin), 280, 278, 279 for 1104 four game block with this ball!!! Whether I am bowling on tough conditions, or a walled house shot, this ball is in my bag.

The new Street Rods simply out perform their price point. This new hot line will be a favorite among many styles of players, as well as give Stormchasers a new reaction style on the lanes. Stop by your local Storm VIP pro shop and ask for the new Street Rod!!!

My Street Rod Solid I have layed out with a 4 x 3 1/2 drilling with a low hole.  My pin is under my ring finger and I have the surface at 2000 abralon.  This ball is unbelievable for its price point.  The Street Rod Solid is extremely smooth and continuous.  The most success I hae with this ball is on the shorter patterns, where it doesnt come off the spot to hard, it just rolls archs.  A very good league pattern ball as well, where you can play closer to the track and not have to go around them to much.

Forgiveness.

It's what I judge a ball on now.  I can't estimate how many balls I have rolled but the ones that were forgiving, consistently, are the ones that stick out in my head.  

I think, but I'm not sure, this ball falls into the "forgiving" class, but it lacks one "forgiving" feature the previous Jolt had.  If I throw this ball far right, it comes back.  If I throw it too straight, it glides into the pocket.  However, it does nothing if you don't rev the ball.  The Jolt would come back hard if I let go to soon and didn't have the revs.  

Drilled Pin over and CG in my palm, It gives a consistent throw.  I have thrown about 5 games now and the scores continue to go up.  Also what I have noticed is that this cover drinks oil.  I will update after league this week.

Ball is drilled with two fingers. Drilled 6 x 6 1/8 pin 2.5" up. Ball is at 4000 abralon. I like this ball when i need to keep a square look to the pocket but like to keep my speed and rotation in my comfort zone. Ball motion is very smooth without a lot of boards covered. Great ball from Storm. Thanks to monty stratton at bowlers depot oceanside.
