We've taken the Triple X Factor to the Xtreme... the Triple XTREMEâ„¢ that is! This ball generates a massive amount of torque and will make the corner on even the toughest of conditions. This is accomplished by combining our world-class ACCU-treadâ„¢ solid reactive coverstock, preparing it to an 800-grit satin finish, then wrapping it around the dynamic RAD3â„¢ weight block. The satin ACCU-treadâ„¢ builds higher friction in the mid-lane. The RAD3â„¢ creates a strong preferred spin axis that in tandem, make the Triple XTREME really "lean" toward the pocket. If you take your game seriously and want that edge, then take your game to the XTREME!

WOW!!! This is one of the greatest storm ball made. Great reaction,smooth continous backend, great hook, hits the pocket very hard, pins have a lot of action when the ball hits. Needs oil though, definetly not a dry lane ball. If your alley has an oil pattern that features a dry spot, stay away from it.

Just got it drilled 2 days ago.
Right handed 14 lbs, 3.5inch pin,
Pin 2 inches off tothe right of the ring finger
Extra Balance hole added also.

One of the greatest balls I've ever used

15lb
Drilled 5 1/2x6, 7/8oz neg, 3/4ozfinger

This week the center decided on a wetter/dryer type shot.  With the specs mentioned above and left in box condition this ball went 50 feet and came screaming back to the pocket.  Can we say "Jaw Dropping Reaction"  My jaw put a crack on the approach.  The ball didn't whip into the pocket like the X-Factor Original and my S&M Mistress but the angle was Daffy Duck crazy.

The ball has a great smell, I stuck it in front of everyone's face, some thought I was giving them an early Christmas present others disgustingly jerked their heads back but all agreed the ball smelled Great.  One girl wanted to lick it, I pulled it back and yelled "Noo its MINE MINE MINE!...<whispering> I'm a rich and wealthy miser" (from a Bugs & Daffy Cartoon)

Just a footnote: I Love Tonykcgee's Reviews!! Absolutely refreshing!!
Now to the business at hand. This is my first and ONLY Storm bowling ball. In the past I had completely dropped them from use due to the fact that their balls seemed to die out, and hit like flat turds. The last Storm piece that I regularly used, was the Thunder Road(if you can remember back that far ago)
Anyway....

Ball: Used 15#er (bought from IkeTown..great guy to do business with by the way)
3-3.5 pin
Drilling: 3-3/8x 3-3/8 maxed; small balance hole on pap
Topwgt: unknown
Condition: THS Synthetics & guardian; also PBA pattern B
See my profile for other specs.

Originally targeted this ball because of the look of the core(RAD) with a flip block....and the combination of that core to a pearlized cover.I expected to get
 a very strong, but lopey, heavy rolling ball with great length, based on what I had heard about Storm balls, and their ability to get down the lanes easily. Surprise!!! What I Really got was a ball, that got great length....but when it got to the pins, launched itself into a skidsnap frenzy! When I received it from Ike, the pin was over the bridge, with the cg kicked right about an inch or so. It went looooong......and snaaaaapp!! Sometimes tooo long.
Sometimes funky leaves. A lot of times, ringing tens. Hence the redrill.
Now I have a ball that arcs, very strongly.....and then snaps! But depending on the condition, I can get it to burn-up a little before reaching the pocket, especially by altering my release. Now the snap is a little softer, and a little slower. It's turned into a "must-be-in-my bag" ball for those tougher conditions that I run into. Now I love this ball. Goes nice and long, still...but gives megood controlled power at the pin-deck! Definitely a piece that takes patience to work with, but very much worth it. I find I can do things with this ball, that I can't with some of my other pieces. All in all, very nice. And my dog loves to smell it too!! But he refuses to lick it!
I may have to give Storm another smell....I mean..look. Well, smell ya later.
Good job Storm.
Oh yeah....I was playing 25 over 15....out to 10 or 12 and back. Playing from the outside, tended to leave ringing tens,unless I increased my speed.

Well i recently bought this ball yesterday after posting this. I bought it at Tiki lanes in lancaster ohio. www.tikilanes.com Well i bowled 2 games with it there. there wood lanes, and i couldnt get this ball to do nothing really for me. so i told the proshop guy, and i was like ill try it tonight at my league at circle d in circleville ohio. www.circled-rec.com .. well all i can say is, is that this ball is amazing.


i got up in practice, threw it once, and left a big 7-10, im like hmmm...but my next 7 practice balls were nothing but strikes, buried right in the pocket like it should. and my first 6 with it in the first game was buried in the pocket, and were strikes as well, i could of swore i was going to have my first 300 lol. my high game is on 279 ...i was standing to the left dot, the farthest left dot. throwing it straight on the lane, not putting that many revs on it, cause im a high rever, throwing it at the middle arrow on the lane, about 17 miles an hour. this ball is so controlable. my first game with it on wood lanes was 195, but i didnt like it on wood lanes, but my first game on synthetics with it, was 244. I love this ball so much. i didnt do nothing with it, box finish. I have like 5 other balls that i use, i would usally throw my track mutant, which is another great ball, or my friends track crunch, which has a crunching back end to it. but not that i have this ball, im done with the other balls for a while, this is my first ball off the x-factor line, it does great for me.


The core seems awesome. i think im going to stick with x-factor balls more often. i might get the x-factor ace pretty soon to. i love storm balls, they make great bowling balls. thanks storm.

2nd review I've posted,

Still nothing bad about this ball.
Pin action is great, bowled a 631 2 weeks ago.
Great ball

bOUGHT PRO PIN MODEL.Sorry I did.Ball goes forever and hits weak.Needs extreme dry fot it to shine.Seems like all my STORM stuff is not tracking out like it used too.For that reason I'll keep buying there equiptment.Ball does smell great through.I would suggest th 2-3 or 3-4 pins.with a top of 3oz.

I'm a low rev, high track player, and this ball works well for me. Shot a 289(high game) first month i had it. I don't hook the ball a whole, but this ball performs well. A soft hook that starts early and comes in hard.a controlable hook, that won't over hook.i can throw this ball right up to light oil, and still perfom well,might be because of the low revs lol. Great ball, Smells awsome!
