Storm Summit Bowling Ball

I was super excited to get this ball with the new A.I. (Amplified Inertia) outer core, and wow was I not disappointed! This ball is now the first out of the bag, no matter what the conditions. The Summit is very clean and smooth through the heads. With the low RG and the higher differential, the ball picks up perfectly midlane and is strong and continuous through the back end. This ball will definitely work great for all bowlers of various styles. I dropped weight a while ago to 14lbs and have been worried about carry ever since. This is definitely no longer a concern. For me the ball moves and hits just as hard as the 15lb balls I see on the lanes.

The Summit has a low RG value of 2.46 a medium differential of 0.056 making it the strongest symmetric ball to date from Storm. Starting on the inside, the Centripetal HD weight block is surrounded by the ALL-NEW A.I. (Amplified Inertia) outer core. This new combination drives the RG down and the differential up ensuring this ball spins up fast. Paired with the TX-23 Hybrid Cover, the Summit provides enhanced oil absorption for even better grip on those slick conditions. Which in turn gives you the bowler the ability to open up the lanes more I did a ball comparison to the 900 Global Zen Master, Storm Absolute and the 900 Global Reality Check at 42 ft house shot, 25 ml of oil. The layout chosen 15 x 5 5/16 x 25. In comparison to the 900 Global Zen Master, the Summit starts up quicker and is more aggressive off the spot verses the Zen Master that’s a pinch cleaner and more rounded off the spot. Through the shots you will see how the Summit and the Zen Master are very similar even going 5 and 3 left they both keep up with each other. It wasn’t until I went deep inside where the Summit out hooked the Zen Master. In comparison to the Storm Absolute, The Summit starts up quicker and overall hooks way more. The Absolute has a R2S Deep Hybrid cover with a similar RG of 2.48 verses a 2.46 of the Summit and a lower differential of 0.050 verses a 0.056 so in retrospect of numbers the Absolute should hook more but the TX-23 cover is a lot higher on the strength scale verses R2S an in turn hooks more. In comparison to the 900 Global Reality Check, the Summit also starts up quicker and stronger off the spot. The Reality Check is a much cleaner option even being an asymmetric ball with a more rounder shape verses the Summit with a more sharper shape that climbs the hill much stronger on the heavier conditions. As per the surface adjustments, the Summit at box surface is 3000 grit which will be strong a continuous and round off the spot At 2,000 Polish the ball will go a little longer and sharper off the spot In the bag, will be the Reality, Eternity, Summit, Dark Code, IQ Ruby

Storm Summit is one of Storms strongest symmetricals to date! Using the Centripetal HD weight block wrapped in the all new TX-23 hybrid cover and don’t forget this ball also has the new A.I. (Amplified Inertia) outer core. This ball has become one of my favorites in the bag this summer. It’s the perfect blend of heavy roll and down lane motion. I’ve used this ball on a variety of patterns but seems to really shine on the longer higher volume patterns. When my Reality starts to burn up or can’t get any further in without leaving corner pins, the summit stores more energy and I have no problem crossing boards with it. It also seems to handle carry down and cliff very well. I have total confidence knowing this ball will hook on anything! If you’re looking for something on the stronger side but don’t want something high performance, give this ball a try. Can you reach the Summit?

The Summit is the newest addition to the Storm line and for the little bit that I have thrown it so far, I can tell that this will be my go to before the Phaze II for a long time. For me, it provides a little more mid lane read with a stronger transition down lane. This allows me to use it on fresher conditions, after big asym balls like the DNA begin to burn up. I could also see this ball being a good option when polished for when the Phaze II begins to die down lane. I find this piece for interchangeable when it comes to where it could be slotted in the bag. I would recommend this ball to anyone that is looking for a good step up from the Phaze II. Remember to Bowl Up a Storm!!

The Storm Summit has been dubbed the strongest symmetric ball ever to have been produced in Utah. The Summit features a core that has striking resemblance to the Marvel series core, but it is wrapped in the new AI core technology. On the outside, the Summit is wrapped in a unique color combination of the new TX-23 hybrid cover, which is an updated hybrid version of the cover on the Phase 2. I drilled my Summit 4.75x4x4 2LS to get a strong benchmark shape out of it. For myself, this ball was a lot earlier than anticipated given it is a hybrid and hooked quite a bit. While it has been something that has not completely matched up to my game, I see this being incredibly successful for speed dominant or low rev players that struggle to see a ball pick up on the lane soon enough. This ball goes through the pins very well and is already one of the top selling balls on the market. If you need something to get through some of the mucky sport shots or help blend cliffed house shots, this is going to be the ball for you!

The new ball in the Storm family is the Summit. The Summit has the TX-23 hybrid cover wrapped around the modified Centripetal HD core. Centripetal HD weight block is surrounded by the ALL-NEW A.I. (Amplified Inertia) outer core. Shout out to Hank Boomershine, Alex Hoskins and R/D team at Storm for raising the bar in bowling ball technology. I drilled my Summit 4 3/4 x 4 1/2 x 1. I went with a shorter pin buffer to help the response down lane. Lets just say this ball is very strong for a symmetrical. I put a little step 2 on mine and bowled on 45ft Dick Weber pattern, The summit allowed me to control the pocket, and carry well. Its very hard to throw the Summit through the breakpoint which is a good feeling. The Summit is just different especially on off hits. Even since I switched to 14lb because of a bad knee, usually I like to throw the bigger asymmetricals but the Summit is plenty strong enough to go through the pins. I have the summit stronger than the Phaze 2 and below the bigger balls like a RG Gem, Global Reality. If your looking for a strong rolling symmetrical that carries real well the Summit is your ball!

The Summit features the brand new TX-23 hybrid cover wrapped around the modified Centripetal HD core. This combo produces the lowest RG and highest differential Storm ball to date. Ever since I’ve drilled the Summit, I haven’t been able to put it down. It’s giving me the Phaze ll shape that everyone has come to love on higher volumes of oil. The Summit isn’t just a one trick pony, I’ve been able to go very straight with it on higher volume longer patterns as well as being able to shape it on medium conditions. The Summit is now available at any Storm VIP Pro Shop! Review Video: https://youtu.be/JOeU0jYDlJs

Storm Summit ball review VLS 5 x 4 3/8 x 1 3/8 The Summit was a ball I wasn't sure where it would fit in for me. TX-23 Hybrid cover over the Centripetal HD weight block surrounded by the AI outer core. This is definitely a strong symmetrical ball. Right away it has been a great addition to my bag on a variety of conditions. It is also a different look than anything else I have. For me, it fits right between the TNT and Fate as far as the symmetrical pieces I use often. The Summit is much cleaner than the TNT but not as clean as the Fate. It gets through the front but still has the shape in the midlane to go through the pins. It gives me a good bridge between the big early rolling balls I like and the cleaner ones. Often with my Rev rate I get stuck in transition where I need to change but something like the Fate isn't giving me enough yet. It has also been really useful on the medium volume house patterns with a lot of wet-dry. It will roll in the oil but not go too crazy if I get it right. The Summit has also been good when I'm not really sure what I want to throw as it gives me a good, predictable read on the lanes. This is a ball I have seen a wide variety of styles and bowlers have success with. It's for sure a ball that should be in everyone's bag. Dave Adams Storm staff

The storm summit is strong good roll and consistent.

Storm Summit Layout: 4.5 x 5 x 2 Storm Pin Buffer Layout Rev Rate: 325 rpm, 7 degree of axis tilt, 40 degree of axis rotation Testing information: 41 foot THS (medium to light volume) Bowling Center: Fulton Bowling Center Kegel Machine – Brunswick Anvilane The Storm Summit utilizes the new TX-23 hybrid coverstock and Centripetal weight block. We tested the Summit alongside the Roto Grip Clone on a house shot. The Summit has a RG of 2.46, which is one of the lowest in recent memories. The low RG is paired with a 0.056 Diff. What does this combination produce? Well, the Summit is a very useable ball. I threw it at the PBA50 World Series of Bowling on the Weber pattern and had a good look from around 4th arrow late in the squad. I would not have thought a ball with that low of an RG would be good from that deep but it looked really good. I think the Summit will be more versatile than people expect. The Summit hooked about 1-2 foot sooner than the Roto Grip Clone. Visit your local Storm VIP Pro Shop! #Stormnation #SquadRG
