Storm DNA Coil Bowling Ball

The Storm DNA Coil features a low RG Supercoil Core that that helps the ball read he midlane better and the EXO Pearl coverstock that provides a little more length and compliments the early revving core. I believe this DNA Coil has a lot to offer and it shouldn’t be overlooked. With a lot differential and intermediate differential available in the core of the DNA Coil, I drilled mine with a standard pin-down layout: 55 x 5 x 75. Because of the cleaner nature of this coverstock and the polish on top of it, at first, I felt like the bowling ball was a little to clean for what was it intended to be. I saw a little bit of over/under reaction on multiple patterns. I then put just a little bit of surface on my DNA Coil and the reaction looked much better to my eyes. After the surface change, the bowling ball created an early rolling an predictable ball motion that, in my mind, think can be very useful on multiple patterns and lane surfaces. You can definitely notice the early revving, low RG of this core. In my opinion, this DNA Coil is a sleeper bowling ball. Bowlers, that are looking for an earlier rolling, shiny asymmetrical bowling ball, will definitely find the DNA Coil to be very good. It seems that this coverstock is very versatile and can be used on newer and older lane surfaces. Even though this core has very low RG, I was surprised how continuous the bowling ball was as I was able to use this DNA Coil while playing multiple angles on the lane. I will add that I believe this DNA Coil will work very well on medium oil patterns that require steeper launch angles, especially on higher friction lane surfaces. This ball has quickly become one of my favorites. Watch myself and Verity Crawley throw the DNA Coil on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItYjbsaaFfQ&t=163s

This ball delivers on the areas the original missed. I was limited where I could use the original DNA solid. But this ball has busted the lanes and pins wide open. The reliable mid lane shape and extremely strong and continuous back end make this ball a winner. I'm a speed dominate bowler who can struggle to have success with pearl balls at times. But this ball is an absolute must in the bag. Its a Ball 1 piece in the arsenal and will burn up the lanes fast. But if you tend to have slow starts like I do this is the gene you're missing in your game.

One thing I loved about the original DNA was that you could move left with it and still have it recover. Now I can just go straight to the coil and it just hits like a truck. This line is slowly becoming a top 3 favorite.

This has become a favorite of mine during leagues in centers where they tend to hook early. I have been using this on the fresh on those earlier hooking surfaces and the ball has been phenomenal. We see cleanliness yet tons of mid lane read and continuation. For comparison purposes, I see this as a cleaner option versus an Exotic Gem and a great step down off the stronger asymmetrical and or symmetrical solids. This ball is designed for medium to heavier oil conditions and can be used either directly on the fresh and/or early lane transition

Layout: 4 1/2 x 4 x 2 VLS I think the original DNA was one of the most underrated balls from 2023. The original wasn’t a huge hooking ball, but people seemed to think that the ball was a huge hook monster. It was a very smooth, very continuous ball that could be used on a variety of conditions. The DNA Coil builds on that reaction by changing the coverstock from EXO Solid on the original to EXO Pearl on the DNA Coil. The EXO Pearl changed the shape of the ball completely! The original was extremely smooth and the DNA Coil is a very strong hockey stick shape. I found the box surface to have a little bit too much over/under on the well used league shot. I took a used 2000 pad and lightly scratched up the surface by hand. That light scratching really smoothed out the reaction without losing the angular motion on the back end. My Specs - Speed - 16 mph, Rev Rate - 315. PAP 5 1/8 x 7/8 Up.

Sam Cooper Roto Grip Amateur Staff. The DNA Coil features the EXO pearl coverstock along with the Supercoil Core. Layout is 45x5 1/4”x75(pin down). I prefer to have a pin down pearl in the bag for the surfaces around Pittsburgh. After the first DNA rolled so well for me I went with a similar layout just a weaker pin. With the coil you see similar tendencies of the OG with just a cleaner and quicker response to the friction. This ball is great for when the fronts are burnt up a bit but need control on the back end. The Supercoil core has enough strength and the EXO pearl cover has enough traction to hook in oil. Where I have used the DNA Coil is after the Optimum Idol when that tends to be too early or when it won’t go through the pins correctly. I bowl in a house shot burn league on a high friction surface. The Coil has no trouble getting through the body of the house shot and giving me controllable pop on the back end. Then when the Coil is too smooth(think this is due to the layout) I can go to the Attention Star or VEBO to get more on the back end and better pin carry. The Coil will be a good option in the bag for anyone that wants a strong pearl or the environment you in has friction in the fronts. Don’t sleep on the Coil if striking is in your DNA!

Layout: 4 1/2 x 6 x 0 Surface: 2000 abralon The DNA Coil brings back the supercoil core paired with the new exo pearl coverstock. The supercoil core is one of the strongest ones in the current storm lineup. Originally found on the DNA solid, the core is designed for heavy oil and produces strong and smoother motion. The new Coil gives a cleaner and higher response for that same heavy oil. I drilled this one 4 1/2 x 6 x 0 to put the pin on my axis line to start up on the lane very quickly while giving that more angular motion I have needed. This layout was used specifically for tournament conditions that have a lot more volume then the typical house shot. The Coil accomplishes just what I am looking for. It reads the front and midlane pretty strong while giving a nice angular backend. The strong core and coverstock combination handles the heavy oil really well and is a great step down from a slower response ball such as the original DNA or summit. I brought the surface down to 2000 grit because the factory reacta gloss was too long in length at first. The surface allows the ball to read the midlane stronger and continue better. On the typical house shot the early hooked forces me into the oil very quickly but still continues well. If your house shot has a lot of volume or is longer in length then the Coil with a similar drilling would do well. A more typical drilling where the pin is further from the axis line would be great as either a fresh ball or first transition ball. This ball is earlier and smoother than the virtual Energy Blackout.

Ball Specs: DNA Coild Coverstock: EXO Pearl Coverstock Fragrance: Orange Pineapple Slush Core: Asymmetric Finish: Reacta Gloss Review: Talk about a ball that stands out. The new DNA Coil is another addition to the DNA line. This being a pearl coverstock pairs perfectly with the original DNA. The DNA Coil is great for when you start to see your DNA burning up and losing energy. Unlike many pearls, the DNA Coil isn’t just a one-trick pony. You won’t just see a big backend motion like every other pearl bowling ball out there. The thing that I really like about this ball is the versatility. This ball can play a variety of angles and lines and still see a great reaction all over the lane. I find myself using this ball a lot during the start of league or when the lanes begin to change at tournaments. With the bigger core it allows me to use this ball early in league. The coverstock is also very good when changing the finish. I have thrown the ball at box finish and have taken it to 2000 sanded and have had success adding additional versatility to this great ball. If you loved your original DNA you are going to really enjoy throwing this ball, make sure you pick yours up today! Will Tefft Storm Staff Member will@parklanes.net www.strombowling.com #Stromnation

The Storm DNA Coil features the EXO Pearl Reactive cover, Supercoil Core, and reacta gloss finish. The coil is the second ball in the DNA line with the first being a solid. I was not sure about this ball but it is surprisingly good. I have the Coil as pretty clean though the fronts and plenty of shape down the lane, more of a hockey stick hook. I compared it to the Blackout and have the Blackout overall a touch stronger than the Coil. The Blackout was earlier and a bit smoother than the Coil. When the Blackout is picking up too early and you need something to get down the lane further but still strong when it sees the friction, the Coil will be a great option. Another great ball in the Storm catalog! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBm7e5mGHNA Tobias Myers #Stormnation

The Coil is the first use of EXO Pearl that we've seen. This ball is heavy rolling and fits near the top of the bag. I can see myself using this ball to blend out the cliff on a high friction surface, or slow hooking this ball on a slightly higher volume condition. This ball fits right below the Magic Gem for me, it's similarly early and rounded but stores a bit more energy for the back part of the lane. If you're looking for a really strong compliment to solid asyms like the Harsh Reality or Eternity Pi, the coil fits just below those without being as clean and sharp as the Virtual Energy Blackout or the Attention Star -Chase Valenzuela
