Storm Summit Ascent
« on: August 29, 2024, 11:06:16 AM »
Storm Summit Ascent
Layout: 4.5 x 4.0 x 2.0 Storm Pin Buffer Layout
Rev Rate: 325 rpm, 7 degree of axis tilt, 40 degree of axis rotation
Testing information: 41 foot THS (medium to light volume)
Bowling Center: Fulton Bowling Center
IKON Kegel Machine – Brunswick Anvilane

The Storm Summit Ascent utilizes the R2S Reactive cover along with the Centripetal HD weight block plus AI Core.  The Summit Ascent revs up quick but the R2S coverstock gets it through the fronts on medium to heavy oil, and provides stored energy.  Is the Storm Summit Ascent the new-age iQ Tour?  Only time will tell.

I feel that it’s versatility is going to be the Summit Ascent’s strong point.

BALL: Storm Summit Ascent
Coverstock: : R2S Solid Cover
Core: : Centripetal HD A.I. Symmetric Core

With the help of Les in the shop he helped me see this ball as a stronger Axiom and as I really liked that ball, this Summit Ascent dug in deep to the lane and really wanted to boom down the lane. As you can see in this video it didn't look the best from straight but as I moved left this ball was just showing off and was a tad too strong as a few shots looked good but some shots were just 9 good.

Storm
Summit Ascent
Cover Stock: R2S Solid
Finish: 4000 Grit Abralon
Core: Centripetal HD A.I.
(14pd)
RG: 2.46
Differential: 0.056

Layout: 5 x 4 x 3 1/2 - 2LS
Layout Extras:  2 1/2" Finger Depth, "X" - 4 1/2 D and 1 Inch Left
Tester: PAP 6 1/2 R, 1 1/4 D

Review:
The Storm Summit Ascent features the Centripetal HD weight block and is paired with the newer Amplified Inertia outer core. What this means to the bowler is more length and more motion off the spot. Compared to the original Summit you can anticipate more length with the R2S coverstock in this offering.

Something that folks may not be aware of is the RG and Differential values are the same for 14 to 16 pounds in the Summit Ascent. For my review, I rolled the Summit Ascent at the OOB 4000 Abralon finish. Also, I prepped a Summit Peak with a 3K Abralon by hand for comparison purposes.

The Summit Ascent and the Summit have a 5 x 4 x 3 1/2 - 2LS and 5 x 4 x 4 - 2LS layout applied. Basically, both are very close. My Summit Peak I changed the layout a bit and went with a 2 x 6 x 5 - 2LS and also drilled the fingers a touch deeper to get through the fronts a little bit more on your typical THS patterns.

In comparing the Summit Ascent to the original Summit and the Summit Peak I was pleased the Summit Ascent went through the front part of the lane a bit easier for me. As a slower two-handed player the Summit is a higher volume sport pattern ball for me. The Summit Peak OOB Reacta Gloss finish definitely increased length. The Summit Ascent with R2S increased length as well, but provides a touch more control compared to the Peak.

I will say to the eye the A.I. technology does benefit on light hits. I had a few balls that carried when missing right a touch. You will see this when the video comparison is posted. Also, for me, I left my Summit Ascent at the 4K OOB finish and I am very satisfied with it.
