The Equinox Solid surprised me to say the least with how much skid/flip it has. I was able to play my normal line and it did not grip super early as I was expecting it to. Now what really surprised me was that I was able to move left and play 15 at the arrows and got it to recover and continue through the pins. This is something that you do not always see out of a textured solid. I have been loving this ball in tournament play especially when there is significant carry down.

The Storm Equinox Solid is a strong and confident addition to Storm's lineup, featuring the Solarion A.I. Core and the aggressive A2S Solid Reactive coverstock finished at 2000 grit, which is designed to provide a heavy-rolling, mid-lane controlling motion ideal for fresh medium-to-heavy oil conditions. Compared to the original Equinox (Pearl), the Solid version utilizes more surface friction to read the lane earlier and more consistently, delivering a smoother, more predictable arc in the mid-lane while still maintaining the strong, continuous backend that drives through the pins; this makes the Equinox Solid a great benchmark-type choice that fits right between the Ion Pro Solid and a slightly weaker, cleaner ball, and offers predictable traction with plenty of pop at the pocket.

Its coming!! The Cherry Apple Slush fragrance shouldn't be the only reason to buy this ball lol. Storm had a way with the Original Equinox Pearl, and now the Equinox Solid rips up the lanes. Still has the Solarion A.I. Core and now with the Adhesion System Technology - A2S cover. This ball is outstanding on the lanes. To watch this ball go down the lanes, its shape and motion is something to watch with this ball. Of coarse it needs oil, I'm slowly throwing mine to get some lane a little lane shine on it. Its getting predictable, rolls great, reads the back end, and fun to watch! .....It's coming, for you people who are looking, be prepared! It's coming!!

Cover: A2S Solid Reactive Core: Solarion + A.I. RG: 2.48 RG. Diff.: 0.054 Finish: 2000-Grit Abralon Fragrance: Cherry Apple Slush Storm’s new EquinoX Solid is a Solid Asymmetrical piece that is good for Medium-Heavy Volume patterns. PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 400. Speed: 16.5. I drilled this piece with the Pin up between the fingers, CG kicked out 2” from the palm, and 1” Left of the Mass Bias. 5 x 4 x 2 ½. I threw this piece on a Fresh 43’ house pattern. Out of Box ball motion started in the mids with a strong backend reaction through the pins. This piece is good for Medium-Heavy Volume Patterns. I compared this to the EquinoX. EquinoX is 2-2 right of the EquinoX Solid. EquinoX is cleaner through the fronts with a sharper backend motion. This piece will be good for all types of styles. This piece will be a good to start the League/Tournament with then switch to the EquinoX when the fronts starts to go.

When considering the Equinox I wanted a ball to fit my Optimum Idol Solid/Phase II slot for a higher volume house. I drilled mine 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 x 3. What I got was a much stronger and much more determined ball. It comes at a dull 2k finish. For me I’ll be letting this one lane shine for a while and only touch the surface if needed. Out of the box you can expect this ball to crave oil. Unless you have higher speed it will scream at you to move into the middle of the pattern. It’s got a whole lotta giddy up and looks and smells great. If I were to drill another one I would go weaker pin down to decrease the flare and keep it on line longer.

TESTING ENVIRONMENT Type: Lakes Bowl House Shot BALL: Storm Equinox Solid Coverstock: A2S Solid Core: : Solarion A.I. Core Finish: 2000 Grit RG: 2.49 (14 Pounds) Differential: 0.053 (14 Pounds) MB/PSA: 0.017 (14 Pounds) ME: Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 14-15 mph Rev Rate: 220 PAP: 5 7/16 Right 1/8 Down Ball Layout: 42x4x28 So I had a lot of excitement for this ball and watching others throw theirs. I couldn't wait to get to the shop and get holes in it. Fast forward to league and I picked up the ball and started practice. This ball rolled terribly and no matter what I did the ball just looped down the lane. I spent all of my 10 minutes trying to get oil on it and see if that will help the roll. Good thing for me that I was bowling with my PSO and we both talked about what we were seeing……OR not seeing. We decided to break the surface and went 500-2000 by hand and boy let me tell you that made a world of diffrence. We had planned on shooting the video on Sunday so again I was excited to see what breaking the surface did to the ball. With this touch up to the cover it came alive and rolled and did everything that I thought a solid Equinox should be doing. If you have been around and seen my reviews and videos you all know I love to be close to the track. The ball dug in when I was standing on 15 and going up 10. I needed to move and found a happy zone standing around 22 and hitting 13.

Core found in the original Equinox and the latest mixture of Storm's Adhesion System technology, the A2S Solid coverstock, the Equinox Solid is a standalone, predictable powerhouse that any straighter player like me desires in their arsenal. So, let's take a closer look at why the Equinox Solid belongs in your arsenal. The Solarion +A.I. Core was developed in the original Equinox, and from the beginning, the Solarion + A.I. Core proved to be a strong and continuous core that devastated your THS. Now, inside the Equinox Solid, it appeared to me that the Solarion + A.I. Core had become significantly more explosive and alive for my straighter game. Whether it is the combination of the new A2S coverstock or not, I found the Solarion +A.I. Core to read seamlessly in the mid-lane and had a crisp motion off the pattern. I liked that the Solarion +A.I. Core doesn't "wobble" because of my lower-rev rate, and I enjoyed the confidence the Solarion +A.I. Core gave me to strike as I watched the Equinox Solid fiercely stand up off the pattern and then gave me the hard-rolling continuation I needed to kick out the corner pins. As a straighter player, I depend on consistency, power, and continuation to keep my game in play, and Solarion + A. I. Core certainly delivered in the Equinox Solid, so straighter players - pay attention! The Solarion +A.I. Core will bring you results. The new A2S Solid Reactive Coverstock on the Equinox Solid for a straighter player like me is simply outstanding! With the factory 2000-grit Abralon surface, the Equinox Solid lit up the lanes for me from my first roll. I loved the smooth, predictable traction the A2S gave me in the mid-lanes. Further, when a solid coverstock generates a crisp, angular motion off the pattern, especially on a big asymmetrical ball, it is a straighter player's dream come true! Further, one of the best features I found in the A2S solid coverstock is its overall texture. The A2S Solid Coverstock is not "chalky" or so porous that the Equinox Solid will only last for game one; instead, with its well-blended composition, the A2S Solid Coverstock delivered a consistent and predictable motion for my straighter game all night. Storm says the A2S Solid is part of their evolving "Adhesion System technology." Well, if the A2s is part of that evolving technology, I can't imagine what the future holds, because the A2S Solid Coverstock is fantastic for a straighter player like me. In closing, I found the new Equinox Solid to be an outstanding new ball release by Storm. The Solarion + A.I. Core will bring any straighter player the power and continuation they seek, and the A2S Solid coverstock will provide the traction, shape, and precision straighter players rely on. So, if you're a straighter player like me, the Equinox Solid makes a great choice. The Equinox Solid is like an Ion Pro on steroids, but with its own unique dynamics that set it apart from the rest of the competition. So, stop into your local Storm VIP Pro Shop today and see where your Equinox Solid fits in your arsenal! You will love the results!

Layout: 4 1/2 x 4 x 2 1/4 Surface: 2000 Abralon Rev Rate: 470 Tilt: 13* The Eqiuinox Solid brings back the Solarian AI core but this time paired with the new A2S Solid Coverstock. This ball line was designed for those house patterns from 38 to 42ft and the Equinox Solid gives added traction where the original Equinox was a little too clean. I got to try this on a typical 42ft house pattern. My first impressions of the ball were actually how strong it was. My anticipation was for it to be a little earlier and smoother than the original. This ball picked up strong in the midlane and hooked a little more in the front then I had expected. On the fresh, it actually forced me a little further left on the lane than I wanted to be. My idea of a fresh ball is to keep my angles more in front of me playing around that 7-10 board at the breakpoint. I had to move into about 20 with my feet and play about 13 to 8 to have the right ball motion. As the lanes transitioned, I still saw adequate continuation. I was able to get as left as 25 with my feet to still see good motion through the pins. As I moved left of 25, I can tell that the ball was using too much energy too quickly. This is when I would change to the Equinox Pearl. My overall impression was that it is a very good ball on the fresh that is not as strong as the Ion Max. It handles the middle part of the lane very well and isn't overly strong in the front part of the lane. I think some may see a distinct distance difference between the solid and pearl versions. A change of surface for either the Solid or Pearl will make the two balls a little closer together in terms of length. I recommend this ball to someone who uses the Equinox pearl a lot and wants a better option for the fresh. This could be a very good ball down for those who like the Ion Max and prefer to see a strong and smooth shape on the lanes. For those who bowl on low oil volume, this may be too strong overall. A Phaze 2 or Ion Pro Solid would likely be a better fit.

The Storm Equinox Solid is a reliable choice for bowlers who want early traction, smooth control, and strong continuation. For a tweener-style bowler on house shots, it’s a confidence-building piece that performs well on fresh and transitions gracefully. If you’re looking for a ball that blends power with predictability, the Equinox Solid is worth adding to your lineup.
