Storm DNA Coil Bowling Ball

Tested: 42' Medium/Heavy THS League: 42' Medium THS LAYOUT: VLS - 4 1/4 x 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 Dual Angle - 40 x 4 1/4 x 63 Reaction: Smoother mid-lane, Hard Arc Storm's description: Not every bowler is made the same and not every bowling ball is made the same. As you discover your personal bowling DNA Profile, you can expect this new bowling ball to give you a great read of the mid-lane. If you drilled the original DNA, try the same layout on your DNA Coil and expect the same early-revving action, but with a longer, more angular ball motion we all look for as the lanes start to break down. My review: Drilled exactly like my solid which has so much control, The Coil is on steroids. Response to mid-lane friction is quicker and more pronounced but with the same control as the solid. I played longer in the track area during league (Bolero) which was a surprise due to the high friction league breakdown. Not the same as I tested on(different alley). I was also able to open my angles without given away carry. Typical light hits was above average. I see this ball as a compliment to the solid and ahead of my VEBO. The Storm DNA Coil is a testament to innovation and performance, precision crafting and engineering instills trust in its reliability frame after frame. The core's dynamic design and weight block configuration creates a powerful angular motion to maximize pin carry. High versatility of the cover and the ability to match up to various lane conditions is a plus for all styles of bowlers. Visit your local VIP Pro-shop today #stormnation

The second addition to the DNA line is the DNA Coil. The Coil uses the EXO pearl cover stock, polished with reacta gloss. My layout on this ball was 35x3.5x40 I wanted to get this ball to pick up fast and still have energy down lane to go through the pins correctly. What i found is I needed to hit this ball with a 3000 pad. Once I did this ball was really strong and is a stable in my bag. If you liked the DNA solid you will really like the Coil and what it brings to the table.

PAP 5” Over 1/2 up Rev Rate 300. Tilt 20. Speed at release 17 Review: The Storm DNA Coil for me is an upgrade on the original DNA. This ball reads the midlane very well and has a nice move on the back end. The ball is very predictable for a strong shiny ball. I am not seeing any over under from this ball. For me this will be a medium to heavy oil condition ball. I left the DNA Coil at box surface and would put it between my IQ Ruby and Summit Peak in total hook. This is another good strong ball from SPI. What I like most about this ball is how it plays as the oil breaks down and the lanes transition. I am able to make confident moves and stay in my comfort zone. Summary: The DNA Coil is strong and predictable. The hit and carry is very good. I like this version better than the original.

The DNA Coil by Storm is the newest addition to the Premiere Line. This ball provides excellent mid lane read while giving effortless length, allowing the ball to make a strong move off the back end of the lane. I can see this ball being a great step down from a Harsh Reality, before needing to the get into symmetric pieces. Get yours today and don’t forget to bowl up a Storm!

About Me 900 Global Staff Left Handed: High Rev High Speed Player Layout: 5 X 5 X 2 Pap: - 47/8 +1 Rev Rate: +-500 Speed 17-18mph Ball Video: https://youtu.be/1hdoyb1a8U4 BIG Asym Pearl but surprisingly very controllable. What I love the most about the DNA Coil is that I am getting a very big pearl that is controllable off the spot. The Coil has plenty of backend and hitting power but is not a check mark for me. It makes the move and just keeps its forward roll through the pocket and explodes the pins. For me the Coil is going to be a ball that I can start out with and migrate more towards the middle throughout league or through a tournament block and be in my hand for a while. For most, the DNA Coil will be something you use at the beginning of league and or in the front of a block and change out of it. I think this is going to be a fantastic ball and a surprise to many. Go get to your local pro shop and talk to your pro shop person and see if the DNA Coil is going to fit into your arsenal.

Ball Specs: Storm DNA Coil Reacta Gloss EXO™ Pearl Reactive Weight Block: Supercoil™ Core (Asymmetrical) Color: Scarlet/Persian Blue/Raven Review: We were very big fans of the original DNA. Sometimes with new cover and core combos you never really know what to expect but it worked very well for our games. Putting a pearl cover around that core really made the DNA line that much sweeter. We drilled this ball with our normal layout: tweener, 350-375 revs, 16.5mph, layout of choice is 4x4x2 (pin is above bridge). This ball is clean, not quite as clean as a summit peak for example but in our eyes that is a good for that first out of bag asymmetrical piece where you don’t really want that extremely long snappy shape. This ball is a carry monster with the angular shape it creates. It is probably our favorite release of 2024 so far. We see this as our first out of bag bowling ball for multiple patterns for that game 1 to game 2 scenario before balling down to a symmetrical piece.

Orientation: Right Handed Rev Rate: 400 RPM Speed: 16-17 MPH PAP: 4 ½ over and 1 1/8 up Location: Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO Pattern: High Volume THS VLS Layout: Layout 1: 4 5/8 x 4 x 2 ½ (pin above bridge) Layout 2: 4 1/4 x 4 x 4 1/8 (pin below bridge) The DNA Coil is a new pearl version of the DNA. It honestly reminds me of the Reality Check more than anything. It’s cleaner, fast rev’ving and quick without being super quick. My game doesn’t match up to the SUPER big asym balls so the cleaner more usable asyms actually have a chance to make my regular bag. There’s a lot of times I need a bigger core to control the midlane and backend and but still need it to get through the fronts. The Coil is exactly like that, in the spirit of the Exotic and Eternity but in this case, the Coil is cleaner quicker.

Storm DNA Coil Ball Specs: EXO Pearl coverstock with the Supercoil core, surface finished with React a Gloss Layout: 5 X 5 X 3 VLS 2.0 Bowler specs: 15.5 mph and rev rate in the 380’s and my is PAP is 3 ¼ and at zero up/down and tested on Pro-Lane at ABC North Lanes in Harrisburg, Pa., and Colony Park Lanes and Games in York, Pa. During practice on the fresh house patterns at both locations were a little tricky on the reaction, as I saw if I got the ball between 15 and 17 boards at the arrows, there was a very defined reaction in the midlane and back end. If I projected the ball up 20-22 boards, it labored a good bit more. The sweet spot on the fresh and slightly used was to play in around the 3rd arrow and get the DNA COIL to roll right through the 2 down lane marker boards on Pro-Lane surface. A little flatter hand and moving left of center for me created that same look as long as I hit that sweet spot right between those two targets. The COIL’s reaction on HPL was of course a little sooner and stronger, both centers I bowl in have the all new Kegel Atlas machines, but one used terrain and the other uses Infinity – which is the center with HPL lane surfaces, which I feel the Infinity on that surface does not hold up well and continue through the day had to keep making more adjustments with the COIL and at the other center, the pattern held up better on the Pro-Lane, but the reaction was not a strong as I would like in a league play setting. The Coil will become a part of my league bag for Colony Park Lanes for the simple reason it has a better overall reaction on the fresh there and after a game or two, I can migrate to the Roto Grip Attention Star to finish out the match if need be. A good strong 2 ball step up from the Summit Peak and a full step for me from the Virtual Energy Blackout, AKA: VEBO.

With the addition of the EXO Pearl Reactive coverstock combined with the fast-spinning Supercoil Core, the DNA Coil is an outstanding success in the Storm line! So, let’s take a closer look at Storm’s new masterpiece – the DNA Coil! From my first roll with the DNA Coil, I enjoyed how the Supercoil Core transfers energy throughout the lane. For a big asymmetric core, the Supercoil Core has a fast-revving motion in the mid-lane like a symmetric core, but rather than burn up its energy at the back end, which is what straighter players like me tend to see. The Supercoil Core builds momentum as it makes its path through the midline. And it retains a significant amount of inertia that explodes when it finds the roll phase. And when the DNA Coil starts rolling, get out of its way! The Supercoil Core rolls with a robust amount of energy that destroys the pin deck! And with its strong asymmetric design, the Supercoil Core has a steam-rolling continuation that destroys anything in its path! So, straighter and low–rev players like me will love the motion the Supercoil Core brings. What makes the DNA Coil come alive is the EXO Pearl Reactive coverstock. I found the EXO Pearl to be crisp, clean, and smooth throughout the night with the Reacta Gloss finish. However, when I sanded my DNA Coil with 2000-grit Abralon and followed it with Storm’s Rough Edge polish, there was no turning back! I loved how the EXO Pearl glides through the front part of the lane but griped smoothly in the mid-lane, creating a crisp and distinct turn-off the pattern you could trust! And whether it was early on a fresh THS or later on broken down, spotty conditions, I could count on the EXO Pearl coverstock to keep my DNA Coil rolling smoothly on the shim line without being jumpy or snapping off the back end. So, if you are a straighter player like me, the EXO Pearl reactive coverstock will fit nicely into your game! In conclusion, the Storm DNA Coil brings a new dynamic look to Storm’s Premier line. I found the Supercoil Core and the EXO Pearl Reactive coverstock a winning combination that makes the DNA Coil an excellent ball choice for any straighter, high-speed, low-rev player like me. The DNA Coil rolls hard, cuts decisively, and destroys the pins. So, stop into your local Storm VIP Pro Shop and have your DNA Coil ready for those final weeks of fall league competitions and raise your final standings! Because the DNA Coil will bring results!
