The Storm Typhoon is designed to generate momentum with every revolution, storing energy until it unleashes its full force at the pins. Engineered for light to medium oil conditions, this performance-driven ball delivers exceptional length up front with a strong, controlled backend motion. At the core of the Typhoon is the Atmos A.I. Core, inspired by the renowned Tropical Heat series. With an RG of 2.53 and a differential of 0.042, it strikes a perfect balance between length and mid-lane stability. This design ensures a smooth and predictable motion while still offering a powerful backend reaction. Wrapped in the proven Reactor Pearl coverstock, the Typhoon effortlessly glides through the front part of the lane while maintaining energy for a dynamic finish. The Power Edge technology fine-tunes friction, allowing for a clean and consistent transition into the breakpoint. This controlled yet aggressive motion makes the Typhoon an ideal choice for bowlers of all styles—including those who prefer lighter-weight options. With over a decade of success, the Reactor coverstock continues to deliver moderate aggression without excessive backend overreaction, making the Typhoon a versatile and reliable weapon for any bowler looking to dominate the lanes. Storm Typhoon – Built for Precision. Designed for Power.

Alright, they claim this has all the makings to be like the old Tropical Heats, one of my favorite balls all time from Storm.

Checkmark one: Good low price point!
Checkmark two: Over perform that price point!
Checkmark three: Strike a lot!

Honestly my first shot with this ball besides a few in practice during league was game 3 in league...moved left threw it out the window a little and expected it to not recover, and this ball said "nope I got you" turned left and flushed it.

I drilled mine 5 1/4 x 3 1/2 x 2 3/4 which essentially puts the pin directly above my bridge.

The Typhoon out performs the price its being sold at and it definitely reminds me of the Tropical Heats from way back when, so if you miss that shape this is an easy choice to pick up as a replacement.
