Storm EquinoX Solid Bowling Ball

The Equinox Solid is the next installment to the Equinox series. Padded out of the box at 2000 grit, this solid asymmetrical piece features the return of the Solarion AI core that was found in the Equinox Pearl and paired with the A2S solid cover stock. These pairings make the Equinox Solid Storm’s heaviest rolling ball to date! It stands toe-to-toe with the Ion Max but delivers a dramatically different shape and ball motion. The color and design of this ball is also refreshing as well as the Cherry Apple Slush Fragrance. Ball layout: 70 x 5 3/8 x 40 in comparison to my Ion Max. The Equinox Solid tends to read a little bit longer through the front part of the lane, something that the Ion Max doesn’t tend to do with its shape. Both with striking results, the Equinox gives a more versatile result when it comes to attacking the lanes on those medium-heavier lane conditions. The Equinox Solid can perform well when the Ion Max is too early and loses its backend reaction, the Equinox Pearl is too long, and the Ion Pro Solid does not create enough shape. If you’re looking for a ball that is needed to contest on those heavier lane conditions, then the Equinox Solid is the choice for you.

The Solid version of the Equinox features the same Solarion AI core that powered the original equinox but this time paired with a stronger/earlier cover called A2S Solid. This cover makes the ball very diggy in the mid-lane, giving you earlier motion where you need it most on heavy oil-patterns. I tested the Equinox solid on our House Pattern after a session of senior league. I wasn't surprised at how far left I had to start. The seniors don't tend to beat the pattern up much but the front panels hook here so most aggressive solids make you start much further left regardless. I was very surprised at how well the Equinox solid continued. I got further left in testing than I had expected to without losing carry. The ball sees the mid-lane aggressively and has a pretty long transition window, giving you a predictable arcing move that doesn't get forward as fast as many of the big solids. I do feel like the extra teeth on this cover takes a little bit of the versatility away compared to the original equinox. I could make the original look smoother or quicker with hand position changes. This cover is too strong for this ball to ever really look quick, but it's also incredibly consistant on where it reads the pattern. I could bomb this through the front without feeling like i needed to help it read. I feel like this ball is definitely going to be a favorite of speed dominant players but I feel as though it is in play much longer for lower speed bowlers like myself than say a Ion Max or RST Hyperdrive. The best comparison I can think of would be the 900 Global Eternity Pi. This could work for those speedsters as a ball off of the Max and Hyperdrive or very well as a first ball out for people who are matched to a bit more rev dominant.

The Storm Equinox Solid pairs the A2S Solid Reactive coverstock with the Solarion A.I. Core and a 2000-grit Abralon finish to create a motion that delivers a rounded, slower, and continuous motion — perfect for bowlers who need a smooth midlane read without the sharp downlane pop of stronger, more responsive pieces. Its shape is rounded rather than flippy, allowing it to blend wet-dry conditions effectively while maintaining strong and continuation through the pocket. In overall strength, it sits below the Hyperdrive and Ion Max, aligning more closely with the X-Cell in power but offering a smoother and less angular motion downlane, making it an ideal choice when you need a controlled, stable reaction. Another home run from Storm! Tobias Myers #Stormnation

Storm EquinoX Solid - Premier Line Coverstock: A2S Pearl - 2000 Abralon Core: Solarion A.I. RG: 2.48 Differential: .054 PSA: .018 (15 lbs) Fragrance: Cherry Apple Slush Layout: 5 x 5 x 3 PAP: 6" Right, 1 3/8" Up Axis Tilt: 16° Rotation: 51° Rev Rate: 450-500 Speed: 17-18 mph Location: Vista Lanes - Yorkville, NY Pattern: Kegel Carbon (Current Conditioner) Lane Surface: Anvilane The EquinoX Solid has arrived and it’s ready to HOOK! The EquinoX Solid has been specifically designed to fit between the Ion Max and EquinoX. It features the new A2S solid cover with a 2000 Abralon finish and the Solarion A.I. core. The cover/core combination will generate maximum hook potential with an angular downlane motion, which will make it uniquely dynamic. The EquinoX Solid gave me a great look sliding on 25, looking 16 at the arrows with my breakpoint around 9-10. There is a drastic over/under on our current league pattern and it did an excellent job blending it out and providing me with a more consistent reaction. When compared to the Ion Max, the EquinoX Solid cleared the fronts better and provided a stronger change in direction off the end of the pattern. The EquinoX Solid will be earlier than the original and be a great choice when the EquinoX is going too long. When the Ion Max starts to quit downlane, it will be the perfect ball to go to on medium/heavy to heavy lane conditions, especially in tournament play. Within my bag, it will be a step down from the Ion Max, but above the Ion Pro Solid and EquinoX. Stop by your local Storm VIP pro shop to check it out! Available on October 17th.

RICO Layout The Equinox Solid features the A2S Solid cover wrapped around the Solarion + AI Core. I drilled this ball Rico to combat wet dry conditions at my local center. This layout on a strong asymmetrical ball gives me a smooth controllable reaction that will not over react if I miss left or right. Although this is not a traditional layout for me this ball fills the gap between my Ion Max and Rockstar. If your looking for a strong asym solid this may be the ball for you. Bonus points on how great it smells as well.
