Storm Summit Peak Bowling Ball

The summit peak is THE 1-2 Punch with the Summit. Where the summit is early and wants to pick up in the midlane and be very forward not angular. The summit peak is the super angular compliment. It maintains all the strength of the Summit itself. If your looking for something to play in the sludge with but be super angular off the pattern. This is the ball for you.

Layout: 5 x 4 x 2 1/2 VLS The Summit Peak is the pearl version of the original Summit that was released in the Summer of 2023 and quickly jumped to my ball of the year for 2023. The original Summit definitely hit a wall when the heads started to dry up, so I was really looking forward to a pearl version to get a familiar shape, but get further down the lane and the Summit Peak didn’t disappoint. I was surprised to see how much more angular the Summit Peak was compared to the original. It’s been a great ball down from the original Summit when it starts hooking a bit too early.

One of the newest additions to the Master line at Storm is the Summit Peak. After drilling a few of the original Summit’s and having success with it, I was excited to see the brains in Utah create a pearl version. Not only does the Summit Peak smell like Apple Pie, but it rolls great too. Using the pearl TX-23 coverstock and the A.I. core technology, the Summit Peak has been extremely successful on multiple surfaces from multiple angles. I’ve drilled one so far and really like it. It’s mapped out as 6 x 4.5 x 2. This puts the pin above my middle finger with a good-sized shift of the CG. I’ve left the surface alone since, for me, the goal for the Peak is to be a ball to use after my Eternity-Pi, Gem, or Absolute Power start to see the front of the lane too much and I need something to fly through the front but still pick up the mid-lane and run over the 8-pin. No doubt about it, this ball is strong, so you could probably get away with drilling it a little weaker than expected. The response time is quick and this ball has been really good on multiple occasions. It compliments the line extremely well and I look forward to having more success with it. #StormNation

The Storm Summit Peak features the same Centripetal HD inside the A.I. core as the original Summit, however the Peak is wrapped in the TX-23 pearl reactive coverstock. At 15 pounds the rg is a very low 2.46 with a .056 differential. I drilled mine at 5x4x2 which puts the pin above my middle finger. Don’t let the pearl coverstock fool you, this ball hooks. The low rg core gets the Summit Peak revving very quickly out of the bowler’s hand. This helps the Summit Peak from “missing the spot” at the end of the pattern. When this ball sees friction, it responds very quickly. The Peak has a very strong, sharp backend motion, and the A.I. core sends pins flying! This ball is great for fresher conditions where there is a defined hook zone. The Summit Peak is a ball where you can throw it to the dry and watch the ball make a left or right turn back to the pocket!

The Summit Peak features the Centripetal HD core (A.I Technology) wrapped with TX-23 Pearl cover. It’s a great compliment to the original Summit. The Summit has one of the strongest covers so it tends to burn out if not enough oil. The Peak will still store energy while keeping a similar shape. Don’t get me wrong the Peak still needs oil it’s not a traditional long and flippy pearl it still digs earlier but once it makes its move it doesn’t stop! This is a ball I like to use when they are cliffed or longer patterns when they breakdown. Higher speed lower rev players will love this ball! Andrew Smith Storm staff LH Rev rate 420+ Speed 16.5

This thing is really fun to throw and it smells AMAZING. Summit Peak HOOKS. This ball right here never misses the spot. This thing sees the midlane and is very strong down lane. When the original Summit came out, It was billed as the strongest symmetrical Storm ball, to date. When you pair the centripetal HD core with the TX-23 cover, you get a hook monster. I need to use this ball on the fresh because that’s when it gives me the most room to miss. Once the pattern gets more defined, I have to ball down to something that doesn’t see the friction so hard. Don’t get it wrong, just because this is a “Symmetrical Pearl” doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be the first ball out of the bag. This one is one that I push a lot of people to check out. Not to mention the scent is perfect, Apple Kiwi Pie!

The Storm Summit Peak features an early rolling Centripetal HD A.I. Core and the pearl version of the TX-23 coverstock. This is an interesting combination as the low RG core wants to start up early, but the clean coverstock forces the bowling ball to skid further. I have not thrown the original Summit, but I do like what I see out of the Summit Peak. I drilled my Summit Peak with my usual pin-up layout: 65 x 5 x 30. The bowling ball does flare quite a bit and certainly revs up quick. Since the core does feel early, the backend reaction is very rounded. I do like the smooth, controllable backend reaction with a cleaner coverstock as it allows me to stay a little straighter through the front part of the pattern, especially on worn lane surfaces. I do think this Summit Peak will work great on medium patterns that don’t require too much launch angle. I think this will be a great ball when patterns go through their first transition, a little more friction appears, and the stronger asymmetrical bowling balls become too strong. For my higher ball speed, I put a little bit of surface on my Summit Peak and that created an even more predictable and rounded ball motion.

Summit Peak Cover Stock: TX-23 Pearl Reactive Finish: Reacta Gloss Core: Symmetric Fragrance: Apple, Kiwi Pie Review: The Summit Peak is the latest addition to the Summit line and the new generation of AI core technology. With the pearl cover stock, the Summit Peak likes to get through the front part of the lane and create a sharp backend motion that many players are looking for in a ball. I tend to switch to this ball when equipment like my Absolute Power or Harsh Reality becomes too much and I need something that will clear the front parts of the lanes that are fried. When bowling in my league this is generally the first ball out of my bag, being that house shots can be less volume than a tournament shot. Besides the performance of this ball, the appearance of this ball is stunning and will stand out on the lanes. Will Tefft Storm Staff Member will@parklanes.net www.strombowling.com #Stromnation

And with combining the proven Centripetal HD-A.I. Core with the TX-23 Pearl Reactive Coverstock Storm has created a fantastic rolling ball that belongs in any straighter player's arsenal! So, let's take a closer look at what makes the Summit Peak – all that good! The Centripetal HD-A.I. Core was developed in the original Summit and is a symmetrical powerhouse. As a straighter player, I love how the Centripetal HD-A.I. revs with a brisk and well-defined motion in the mid-lane without being overly aggressive. And what I find most appealing about the Centripetal HD-A.I. core is how it responds off the pattern. The Centripetal HD-A.I. is smooth and clean, coming off the spot like you would expect with a symmetrical core. However, the difference is Centripetal HD-A.I. creates a strong angular motion we straighter players love to see. And with its relentless continuation through the pin deck, the Centripetal HD-A.I. makes the Summit Peak an excellent choice for straighter players like me. The TX-23 Pearl coverstock serves the Summit Peak quite well. With its crisp and responsive nature, the TX-23 is an excellent choice for straighter players. However, I struggle with Reacta-Gloss, so I took my Summit peak to 2000 grit-Abralon to start my review. And if you want to talk about being energized, my Summit Peak came alive and performed exceptionally well. I found the Tx-23 Pearl grips in the front part of the lane without sacrificing energy as it progresses through the mid-lane. And if you are a straighter player, you will enjoy how the TX-23 briskly responds to friction without being overly jumpy or squirrelly! And lastly, late at night, when the heads are burnt up, and the backends are full of carry-down and spotty conditions, I loved how the TX-23 Pearl blended the conditions and still provided me with a smooth and predictable motion I could count on all night. So, in conclusion, the Summit Peak is an excellent new release by Storm. With the combination of the Centripetal HD-A.I. core and the TX-23 Pearl Reactive coverstock, the Summit Peak makes an excellent choice for any straighter player like me! And with the correct surface adjustment for your game, you can expect the Summit Peak to deliver results you can count on.

Ball Specs: Storm Summit Peak TX-23 Pearl Reactive A.I. Symmetric Core Finish Reacta Gloss Polished Layout 4.5 x4 with 1.5 Pin Buffer Bowler Specs: Right Hand. PAP 5” Over 1/2 up Rev Rate 300. Tilt 20. Rotation 50. Speed at release 17 Review: The Summit Peak is another very strong pearl ball by Storm. The original Summit was smooth and predictable, the Peak is different. The Summit Peak is very responsive to friction and this creates a very powerful angular shape. This ball hooks almost as much as my Exotic Gem but more than my Zen Gold Label. Even though this is a symmetric core, the ball has a very strong mid lane grab that does not quit. The hit and carry of the Summit Peak are excellent and I am getting extra messengers even with my lower rev rate. The look of this ball gives it great shelf appeal. The Apple Kiwi Pie is a nice scent but is a little faint compared to some of the other scented balls. This ball hooks a lot but does not quit. This ball is already very popular and the results for different styles have been very good. I sometimes feel the Reacta Gloss needs to be adjusted on some balls like the Journey but it is a good choice for the Peak. Of course do not be afraid to modify surface on any ball these days, as the covers are easily tuned to your specific needs. I am really enjoying rolling the Summit Peak and the energized hook motion it provides. Summary: The Summit Peak hooks plenty and has great back end motion. The Balls colors are scent are very appealing. If you need a strong angular pearl, try the Summit Peak.
