Additional product information:

The Next Factor represents a throwback to one of the asymmetric weight blocks that helped put Storm on the map. RAD-TQ features an optimized shape that is almost identical to the X-Factor that was introduced back in 2002. Like the X-Factor, the Next Factor uses a unique combination of a high RG, high differential, and a relatively conservative PSA strength. This adds up to a design that ignores the front part of the lane and unleashes one of the most devastating backend shapes ever seen. The R3S cover was chosen to accentuate the characteristics of the weight block. Fitting right between R2S and TX-16, R3S will give you that rare combination of control and angularity the X-Factor was famous for. The Next Factor will be right at home when it becomes necessary to open your angle of attack.

    Next Factor 15 lb.

    Posted by Steve Sneidman on Aug 10th 2026

    Drilled it pin down and knocked the Reacta Shine off of it. Happy with the ball reaction. Not for Fresh condition, but a good transition ball as long as there is not too much carry down. Overall, happy with it. Buddies did a great job on shipping, was delivered in 2 days!

    Ball Reation

    Posted by Sam Rivera on Aug 7th 2026

    If you want to move in and open up the lane . for wet to dry. it is in my opinion 1 of the best for it. and I don't have much hand nor revs. but this ball makes up for it. Listen it's the newest ball but it's very good. And for the price you can purchase at buddies pro shop with their expertise drilling and free shipping. its a steal where you can not go wrong.

    A great ball... but overlooked

    Posted by Scott Kramer on Jul 23rd 2026

    Finally got to throw this beast in league tonight (Layout: 55 × 5 × 30, Pin-Up for my specs). Honestly, I think Storm did this ball a major disservice by announcing the Phaze II Pearl right after it released, which completely killed the hype for this rock. It’s a shame because I think the NeXt Factor is greatly misunderstood. Standing right and playing inside (20 looking at 10) at around 15–16 mph, it gives just the right amount of hook—nothing ridiculously flashy, but the point of the game is to knock all 10 down, and it does exactly that. The real magic happened later in the block, though. Once I moved left to 30 (still looking at 10), the true potential of this ball really came out. The energy retention and backend movement off the friction were impressive. At the current price point of $109, it is an absolute steal and a fantastic value. When it first released, it was definitely overpriced, but at today's price, it’s a hidden gem that deserves a lot more credit than it gets.
