Storm Rocket A.I. Bowling Ball

SPECS: 2HL, Rev Rate: 450, Speed: 17.5-18.0, Tilt: 0 - 8 degrees. Axis Rotation: 30-50 degrees. Layout: 4.75 x 3 7/8 2LS / 60 x 4.75 x 45. My goal was to have a ball that could dig through the oil when I needed to move way inside - especially on more of the 'challenge' type patterns - and this ball easily fit that bill. When the Phaze II Pearl can't get around the corner and a HyRoad cannot get through the pins (and the Hustles are just too weak), I am able to move a couple inside, open up my angles, and know that the ball will see the hook window in the right part of the lane with enough angle going through the pins. The cover complements the very clean core so that it always easily clears the front of the lane but doesn't miss the spot either when there is carry down created by the right handers or when there is a good bit of oil across the middle of the lane.

The Rocket AI is Storm’s newest addition to the Thunder Line. It is featured with the Booster AI Core, along with the A1S Pearl Reactive Cover Stock, and finished with power edge technology. With its medium-high flare potential and a lower RG, the Rocket AI is designed to create a clean, late read ball motion when contesting on medium-dry lane conditions. The color design and the frosted berry fragrance is spot on! Ball layout: 50 x 5 x 35. Test pattern: 42ft league pattern. Out of the box, it didn’t seem clear that I would get proper ball motion with this ball as it struggles to attack the oil, leaving light pin carry and corners galore. Once I was able to open the transition and have more friction to play with, this is where the Rocket AI comes to play. This ball is super clean. No room for error as I didn’t have to adjust my targets right to left playing the friction repeatedly. I could stand 30 with my feet and play across 15-20 at the arrows the entire time without having to adjust. The Rocket AI is so smooth, responsive, and dependable. Truth be told, I only used it twice so far and put up a score of 835 (268 268 299) in one of my leagues. I find this ball to be a great transitional option to add to your arsenal. This ball will likely be in my bag at times during league play and tournament play contested on medium lane conditions. If you are looking to add an up-to-date transitional ball, the Rocket AI is the choice for you!! Head out to your local Storm VIP Pro Shop and drill one up today!!

TESTING ENVIRONMENT Type: Lakes Bowl House Shot (After League) BALL: Storm Rocket AI Coverstock: A1S Pearl Reactive Core: Booster A.I. Core Finish: Power Edge RG: 2.54 (14 lb) Differential: 0.050 (14 lb) MB/PSA: NA (14 lb) ME: Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 14–15 mph Rev Rate: 220 PAP: 6 3/16 → ¾ Up Layout: 60x5x20 I wanted to see what this ball could really do. Before drilling it, I knew it featured the classic Rocket weight block paired with the new coverstock and A.I. core technology. My first thought was that this would be the perfect ball once the lanes started to transition. So what better place to test it than on a burned-up house shot? I started by standing on 15 and keeping the ball in front of me, targeting 11–13 at the arrows. Right away, the ball checked all the boxes by being clean through the fronts and easy length, but once it saw friction, this ball hooked. Then I moved left to around 21–22 with my feet and targeted 14–16 at the arrows. That’s where the Rocket A.I. really stood out. The combination of getting through the heads clean while still using the hold in the middle made this ball look excellent. It created a strong move downlane in a spot where other balls, especially bigger, stronger pieces would either overhook or roll out. Overall, this looks like a fantastic option when the lanes break down and you need something clean, responsive, and dependable. Thanks for reading and watching!
