Sorry, I don't have pics... the SD I saw was awaiting its drilling for Bowlers Journal testing... really, no pics required, just imagine a nice deep red/burgundy swirled with forest green, and add some sparkle and shine...

First off, this ball smells GREAT...baked apple pie
Second off, this ball ROLLS GREAT...i know about as much about it as you guys do...i drilled it up like my favorite dimension and went to league...
shot 297-759 straight out of the box with it...got slow on the last ball and went through the face...ball clears the heads very well but still provides that heavy dimension roll in the midlane and back, with a little more pop at the breakpoint than the original...this ball rolls so pure, no squirt, no wiggle. The best part i have noticed so far is the ability to get in and circle the lane without the ball losing energy once the lanes go through a transition...the pearl pushes the ball through the heads without a problem while the mica additive seems to help the ball traction in the midlane and the backend better than a pure pearl like a gravity shift...
this ball will be an awesome follow up to the dimension

It says on the flyer that the coverstock is “R2X Pearl with E.T.M. (Enhanced Traction Mica)". What in the world is "enhanced traction mica"? A fancy way of saying it's a particle pearl maybe?
Either way, I'm very, very interested in this ball. I love my Dimension, but I'd like to be able to shell down when the heads start to go a little.

Mica is often found in mineral cosmetics.
Some brands of toothpaste include powdered white mica. This acts as a mild abrasive to aid polishing of the tooth surface, and also adds a cosmetically-pleasing glittery shimmer to the paste. The shimmer from mica is also used in makeup, as it gives a translucent "glow" to the skin or helps to mask imperfections.
Mica is used in the production of pearlescent pigments.
Many metallic looking pigments are composed of a substrate of mica coated with another mineral, usually TiO2. The resultant pigment produces a reflective color depending on the thickness of the coating. These products are used to produce automobile paint, shimmery plastic containers, high quality inks used in advertsing and security applications.
So, is it for the appearance or traction? Just my $.02, Bruce
I had a RSX that looked pearlescent and I called Roger N. and he said that a few of the first RSX's had a little mica in the coverstock which gives it the pearlescence!

quote:Perfect Dimension is an overseas solid/pearl hybrid version of the Dimension. Storm doesn't list their upcoming releases on their website until the last minute -- once the ball gets on the USBC approved list, it still takes several weeks before they'll acknowledge it on the Storm website.
Storms website lists a "Perfect Dimention". No mention of the 2nd Dimention.

Second Dimension now up on PBA offering list.
I called Storm to see about this and she said I was the first one to order one.
However she did also tell me it would be at least 2-3 weeks before the PBA balls go out. Usually the staffers get them first starting with the National tour, then the regional/amatuer staffers. Then they send out the PBA offer balls.No problem, I will just keep using my Cell Pearl in that slot for the time being.
I do hope that it is a pearl particle though. I have had some great sets with Storm pearl particles going back to the X-Factor Reloaded.
