As stated in my tour power post, i got this ball at the same time as it (thanx again guys at buddies!) Drilled this one up w/the pin directly above the ring finger, with the cg to the left of center (negative) of the span. Keeped it box finished and the ball goes down the lane smoothly, turns, and arcs right to the pocket. Carry is great, pins stay low and lot of messengers come after those 10pins. Haven't thrown it polished yet, love it to much to mess with it. Great 1-2 punch w/the tour power, if the tp gets too snappy, or not quite making it up, i move left or right and let this baby do its arc. One of the very few balls i like that arcs and doesn't snap.
The pleasure has been yours.
The great one

this is a very nice ball. i used it for over a year and me and that thing had some good times. it hits really hard and looks great doing it. but the ultra hot and i had to go our separate ways because it was only 12 ponds and was drilled to bowl strait.  but i will always remember this great bowling ball.
scale of 1-10 i give it a 10!!

I have had this ball since about july and have nothing but love for it.  the ball is 16lbs, about a 2-3" pin, unsure of topweight.  Drilled pin above bridge, cg kicked out of palm w/xtra hole.  got this ball drilled for dry lanes but found it works on everything for me.  Everything else I own I need to swing out but with this I throw it straight up 10 about 15-16 mph and it makes a nice shallow arc into the 1-3 pocket and DESTROYS!!!  Moves just like my old burgundy urethane Hammer and hits even harder!  I didn't think that was possible!  Can't beat the price(70 bucks online)  and the performance is amazing. Awesome reaction, Hits harder than a Lennox Lewis right hand, and it holds the line through out the entire set.  Overall I give 12 strikes out of 12. Awesome job Storm!

Let me tell you about this one!
First time out with it I shot a 233, 300, 257! For a 790!
It was drilled pin at 11 o'clock, pin 4 inches from my axix, ending weight was 1/4 oz negative. I also shined it by putting in a ball machine for 5 minutes.
I was playing 17 throwing it to 8 board, and smashed the pocket.
I was bowling in the Monaca Community League at Baden Bowl.

14# 2" pin with a balance hole 3" from the pin which is also my pap.  Pin above my ring finger with the cg under my palm.  

i've had this ball for quite sometime...still works great for me.

It's an awesome ball for more advanced/intermediate players.  If you look on storm's website, it says that the best line to play is down the 5 and into the pocket...that's crap...lol only play that line if you have a lot of carry down and oil on the heads.  I use this ball after my xfactor starts to leave early on the lanes.  Rolls well and is very consistent and forgiving...

hates oil and hates extreme dry conditions...other then that have fun with it!

   Being from Storm, the Ultra Hot was a ball that we expected to like and we did.  The Ultra Hot has a number of features that make it appealing, not the least of which is the price.  

   We tested primarily one ball, drilled with a 10:30 layout.  Pin 3" x c.g. 1" from axis.  A small extra hole was used on the axis to bring the ball to 1/4 positive, 0 finger/thumb.  We tested the ball with numerous shell preparations on synthetic lanes that ranged from medium oil with fresh back ends to dryer fronts with some carry-down.  Our tester is right handed with medium revs (18 to 21) and throws between 17 and 18 mph.

   The first thing we did was test the ball in it's out-of-the-box dull shell.  We were looking for something to even out some over-reacting back ends in a house league.  The Ultra Hot did give the player a smooth transition but didn't allow him to play deep enough to avoid the fast-changing track area.  It just wouldn't come back from anywhere inside of 14 or 15.  Not wanting to fight too much with it, we changed the shell to a 1500 wet sand and polished surface.  This changed the look and use of the ball dramatically.  It was now a piece of equipment that played the dryer part of the lane very nicely with a very smooth back end and awesome carry.  

   The Ultra Hot became a perfect bridge between the mid-range Storm equipment (Eraser Boost) and the dry lane specials like the Storm Hit or Columbia Scout/R.  The Ultra Hot revs through the entire lane, is very smooth, predictable and carries better than the price would indicate.  We found the Ultra Hot to play well from most any angle, crossing boards to playing down and in.  There were times where it seemed as though it was a bit better the straighter we kept it but when there was enough friction to move on, we could belly it too.  

   This ball worked so nicely when the Eraser Boost was too much it had us thinking that they were made to be sold as a pair.  If you have a Boost and would like something that you could go to when it's moving too much too soon, the Ultra Hot is the ball you want.  

   Overall, we liked the Ultra Hot very much for the medium to medium dry conditions.  Dry back ends don't seem to be a problem for this ‘smoothy' and the carry is very good.  The only caution would be not to try and use it on too much oil, even dull it just doesn't have the motor or tires to get the job done when the lanes are slick.

WOW, it's been 13 months since I've posted a review.

Well, I've had the Ultra Hot for sometime now.

Layout is 3x4, polished. When I first got it I used 1000 grit sandpaper
and Black Magic polish. It rolled early of course per layout, but burned
up somewhat on wood lanes. On wooden lanes I felt I had to throw it
at a 10 degree axis tilt to get it further down the lane so it wouldn't
burn up.
Recently I thought, well, let's polish it up even higher. 1200 grit paper
and 5000 grit polish. Wow, no burn up and the turn towards the pocket is
amazing. I've never felt this ball had it in it, but this may soon be the
1st ball out of the bag.

My Ultra Hot is 16lbs with top weight unknown and no weight holes needed.  It is drilled pin under middle finger with the cg under the ring finger.

Again I'd like to say thanks to Tommy Semiz and David at 11th Frame proshop for their ingenuity on laying out my Ultra Hot.  They also gave me exactly what I asked for with this ball.

I needed something weak for fresh first shift synthetic lanes with screaming backends and this is what I got.

The Ultra Hot glides down the lane easily like the Too Hot does, but being the solid version it will come out of the oil and turn into the pocket.  I play up the ten board to avoid any lane transistions during the night and the most adjusting I have to do is speed.  

This ball also doesn't like long oils or carrydown all that much with this layout, but it handles them better than the Too Hot does.  It is also not recommended to play the track area of the lane, if conditions don't permit,  with this one because it's not as weak as it seems.  Most of the time it rolls about ten feet down the lane.

The hit and carry are great up the boards but also tend to leave flat pocket 7-10 nightmares when you get too deep.

Overall it is very even and controllable as expected stronger than the Too Hot but not overly strong to drive you mad on horizontal wet/dry shots.

The Too/Ultra Hot make a great combo that most Storm lovers shouldn't pass up.

15lb
tw 3oz
pin 3"
Wiseman 315degree drill
Hits ok no disappointments, if you drop it on your finger it will hurt
Drill pattern does create an even flow, very Zen or Tai Chi like move
Pretty color purple is Ultra Cool not Ultra Hot, cartoon like logo

With the Wiseman drill, by the way I saw this drill pattern on a Columbia Piranha/C drill sheet before it was connected to Wiseman.

I was not confident with the carry when trying to swing it I guess because it was because of all the corners I'd left when I tried, when I played it tight though it carried and hit well

Hey,
I have this ball now for more than 3 years. Normally I replace balls after 2 years but I won't do this with the Ultra Hot. This ball rocks!!! Works great for dry-medium lanes. I recently used the ultrahot in a tournament. Lanes were pretty dry so I decided to play between boards 20 and 15, medium ball speed and a lot of refs. I averaged 237,25 over the whole tournament without having a split at all.
Great Storm Ball

What can I say? Bowled a 300 with this ball in February. Boosted my average 20 pins.
I have no bad comments about this ball.

This is in my opinion the greatest ball I have ever owned.  I have thrown many 300's and 800's with this ball.  I have the pin right above my ring finger with the cg kicked out.   I used this ball on short meduim patterns on on some PBA expeirience patterns such as Cheetah and Viper.  It does not overreact on these patterns at all.  It comes out of the box 800 dull but I brought it up to 1000 grit and used Storm's reacta shine and it reacts amazingly.
