Trend
« on: August 06, 2020, 09:09:33 AM »
The Storm Trend is a high-performance bowling ball in Storm's Signature line of bowling balls that they have created in collaboration with professional bowler Jason Belmonte. This ball combines the proven and popular R2S coverstock with the Piston core to offer a ball that provides better carry by creating more angle into the pocket. This ball gives a quick response along with a more defined breakpoint regardless of what your rev rate is.

Finish: 1500-grit Polished

The new Jason Belmonte Signature line ball is the Storm Trend.  Following the Jason releases Drive , Timeless and Promotion I think they have gotten better with each release.  The new Storm Trend with the arguably Storm's  best cover in R2S pearl is very clean and responsive to friction down lane. But to me  with the Piston Core the motion is controllable but very strong back end motion. I drilled mine standard pin up above bridge with a small shift of cg.  5 x 4.5 x 2. I have the Trend above the IQ Emerald and just below the Phaze 3.  When the Phaze 3 gets a little too forward off the spot and you need a little more angle, the Trend would be a good fit. 
We have better options for the fresh as the Trend can be a little too much downlane on the fresh.  But when the patterns starts to blend a little and heads burn up a little that is when the Trend really likes to shine.  Probably the best Belmo ball yet!

The latest release in the Belmo line the Storm Trend is continues to how strong this line is. After having the Timeless, Drive and Pro Motion this probably the best yet using the R2S cover really hit the mark! On the fresh this ball pushes a little too long for me. It's a perfect fit in my bag when my pro motion is to strong. Gives me a great shape and more control when I really need it seeing the friction.

Super clean and quickest response of anything I have in my bag. Definitely a different look in the Belmo line. Definitely a ball everyone should have in the bag. As time goes on this ball will become more and more popular.

Storm Trend

1500-grit Polished R2Sâ„¢ Pearl Reactive

Weight Block Pistonâ„¢ Core

The Piston Core used in the Pro-Motion and a trusty Pearl cover come together to create the Trend.

R2S Pearl helps the ball glide downlane and the Piston Core gives it a quick but controllable down lane reaction.

This cover will make the Trend much more versatile than the Pro-Motion, which will make it more useful for your average league shot.

On days where I start with my Nuclear Cell or Omega Crux, the Trend will be a nice ball to drop down to.

Jason Belmonte has another ball in his signature line... and it's not to be ignored! The Piston Core from the ProMotion returns, but this time wrapped in Storm's trademark R2S Pearl coverstock. The combination provides plenty of length and punch downlane, while providing more control than the asymmetric AstroPhysiX but also not going quite as long as an !Q Tour Emerald or HyRoad Pearl. It provides a ton of utility on house shots as well as great control over your downlane motion through transition for tournament play.

I drilled my TREND with a layout of 65 x 4 x 35. I hit the box surface with a 2000 abr pad and let it lane shine back up.

I used the TREND on a PBA50 regional that was on 37ft Marshall Holman and also on the 42ft Mark Roth Patterns. On the Holman pattern, the TREND is too much bowling ball as it breaks very sharply off the friction. Better options were balls like the WILD STREAK, PHAZE II, and IQ TOUR NANO PEARL which were smoother transitions along with the HUSTLE PBR as these blended the pattern out and let me control the down lane motion better. The TREND wanted to break loose too quickly so I gave it a try on a longer pattern that gets more wet/dry during PBA50 tournament play in the 42 foot Roth pattern, Now the TREND was more at home as it gave me a longer option when my ASTRO PHYSIX was starting to go forward too much at the end of the pattern. Compared to my AXIOM PEARL, the TREND was a few feet later and sharper off the back when the lanes had went thru their final transition.

Layout: 50 x 5” x 35

The Trend has the strongest downlane reaction out of any of the Belmo branded balls! It is super clean in the front part of the lane, but even though it does have a lot of backend hook, it still feels predictable due to the awesome Piston core.  It has just enough midlane traction to keep me from labeling it “skid-flip”, though it is close. It definitely has that big backend reaction that provides very good pin action on a standard house shot. I would recommend touching the coverstock with a 2000 or 3000 abralon pad if being used on a fresh heavier shot, but it is at home with the shiny box finish on medium or medium-dry shots.

Storm Trend Belmos newest release from the pro motion.I am I huge fan of the promotion I belive the most control and smoothest bowling ball I ever thrown.i have mine with me every where I go its my go to ball for sure,now with the trend,its a ball I can change to later in the blocks or when I need something little more down lane then my promotion,great 2 ball combo.I can really tell y Jason likes this ball tons of backend and just keeps going threw the pins doesn't want to stop that's for you.Thats what I see with mine more left I go the more the ball wants to get of the spot.For sure a ball you can use later in the blocks,and a ball bowlers can use when they need something to recover.down lane with ease.Great job on this one Jason and storm.
