I had my new Storm Gravity Evolve drilled up with a 5 x 4 ½ x 2 pin buffer layout. Since the Sure Lock, I’ve had a hard time finding an aggressive solid surface on a high differential core that didn’t fight against me. The Spec surface on the ProMotion really compliments my 400-425 rev rate. But getting a high-flare potential asymmetrical core to make it clean through the hook phase has been tough for me. Especially on typical house shots.
The Gravity Evolve immediately looked different. I dedicated 4 solid games to this ball to see how it would react the more I had to move. Out of the box it did as any fresh new surface does; it was clean through the skid phase, strong through the hook phase, and continuous through the roll phase. The true test came as I began making large moves. By game 3 I was a zone or more deeper and the reaction was still true. In game 4 I decided to play with hand position and speed to see just how much I could get away with before really losing the read or carry. Like you would expect, a big asymmetrical core with that kind of surface can only go so far before you either need to ball down or dig really deep for more revolutions. None the less, I was very impress with how far I was able to go before I saw diminished results. Much further than I would expect out of any other aggressive surface and asymmetrical core.
This ball would be nicely grouped with the Astro Physics, ProMotion, and an !Q Tour Emerald. Lower rev players will love how it digs into the fresh pattern giving a strong shape off the end of the pattern. High rev players will love being able to keep that ball in play deeper into the league night or tournament squad. #StormNation
