Hey everyone Im here to give you the report on the Storm Prodigy.
My specs:
BALL SPEED: 18mph
PAP: 5 1/4 right x 1 3/8 up
DRILLING: 5" pin to PAP x 3 1/4" cg - PAP (pin under bridge cg kicked right)
REVS- Medium - High
HOUSE SHOT #2: (house shot 1 please see
www.videoballreviews.com)
38 ft - Half and Half - Synthetic fronts and wooden backends. Scores are typically very high scoring at this center. But the shot tends to play on the dryer side. On the fresh shot I had to stand 45 with my feet and target 20 at the arrows breaking it off at the 8 board. I had to keep my speed up as if I slowed it down the ball hooked early and kept going. The ball carried great rolled very strong off the dry but not uncontrollable. In the 4 game block that I bowled I only left 2 ten pins and ended up shooting 970.
SPORT SHOT #2 CHAMELEON: (Sport pattern #1 Scorpion please see
www.videoballreviews.com)
In the PBAx league I rolled this ball on the CHAMELEON pattern and it seemed to play a bit on the dryer side all across the lane. I was able to start at 18 with my eyes breaking it off at the 10 board but surprisingly I was able to get the ball out to 8/7 range and still hit the pocket. As the night went on I moved about 3 boards every game and had the same ball motion very smooth and continuous all throughout the lane. This ball is going to be a hit on the PBA tour this year for the fact the ball is alot of midlane and a smooth continuous hook throughout the lane.
MY THOUGHTS:
With my high ball speed this ball fits my game very well with the duller surface and smooth continuous hook. This ball will be the 1st ball out of my bag on the fresh to read the midlane and clean backends. After rolling this ball for 2 weeks several bowlers have said to me that they love this ball motion and it reminds them of the Ebonite Mission with how it reads the patterns and the continuation that it has.
Where this ball fits in my arsenal: Its under my Invasion as the Invasion handles more oil then the Prodigy but its above my Virtual Gravity with all 3 having similar pin under drillings. Thanks for taking the time to read my review.. I will take any questions or comments you may have.
