Further, because the Typhoon is above the entry-level market, it is an excellent choice for those looking to get into the sport of bowling. As a new bowler, you can “grow” into the Typhoon and then build your arsenal around it, making the Typhoon a great first ball. So, let’s take a closer look at how the Typhoon will be a good fit for your arsenal. The Atmos A.I. core brings a smooth and stable motion to the Typhoon. I liked how the Atmos A.I. core generated a good amount of energy as the Typhoon went down the lane. I found the Atmos A.I. Core provided a stable mid-lane motion, yet built a lot of momentum for that core size and shape. And, I have to admit, I was surprised at how the Atmos A.I. core unleashed its stored energy at the pins. The Typhoon hits harder than you would think, as it gave me an explosive reaction through the pins. I would say she A.I. technology surrounding the Atmos Core certainly brings that extra punch we straighter, low rev players like to see and keep us striking. So, I would tell you Storm did a good job developing the Atmos A.I. Core. The Reactor Pearl coverstock gave me a bit of a struggle at the beginning. The factory Power Edge Finish certainly provided a clean look to the Typhoon. Still, I found the Typhoon to be a bit “jumpy” off the pattern for my down and in style. So, I took my Typhoon and started sanding it from 1500-grit Abralon all the way back up to 4000-grit Abralon, to see how the Reactor Pearl would react. And to my surprise, the Typhoon came alive for my game! With this surface change, the Typhoon on a burnt house condition and much drier conditions was smooth, clean, and most of all predictable off the pattern without sacrificing the energy you would normally lose with more surface. So, whether you are a seasoned bowler or a beginner, having the surface adaptability of the Reactor Pearl coverstock, the Typhoon will make a great ball choice that you can tweak to fit your style of bowling and the conditions you want to use it to bowl on. In closing, Storm has done an excellent job of designing the Typhoon. I found the Typhoon a superb choice for down-and-in players like me who need that smooth and consistent motion on drier lane conditions. And for those looking to get into the sport of bowling, the Typhoon is an excellent choice for your first ball as the Atmos A.I. Core and Reactor Pearl coverstock will deliver exceptional results that will help you grow as a bowler!

The new addition to the Storm Hot Line is the Storm Typhoon. First off must say the Typhoon has great shelf appeal and great Grape Punch scent. I drilled my Typhoon 4.5 x 4 x 1 3/4 pin up. The Typhoon has the Atmos A.I. Core with the Reactor Pearl coverstock. The Reactor coverstock was used recently on the very successful Tropical Heat series. Which was great low end bowling balls with good mid performance value. The Typhoon is very clean and smooth roll for a .042 diff core. I have used the Typhoon on our wet/dry house shot. Straighter through the fronts was a better reaction for me. As our house shot has a lot of friction to the right. When the Typhoon hits the friction it wasnt sideways but a very strong response to the dry. For me and my unique roll I really need to add some surface to the Typhoon to blend it out a little. The Typhoon has more motion down lane that say a Exponent Solid and is overall stronger than the RG Hustle Series. For me I can see the Typhoon getting used during the 3rd game of league or later blocks in tournaments.

The Storm Typhoon and Road Warrior serve very different purposes on the lanes. The Typhoon, with its Reactor™ Pearl coverstock and Atmos™ A.I. symmetric core, is designed for clean motion through the heads with a smooth, controllable backend—perfect for light to medium oil conditions, especially late in league blocks or on dry house shots. In comparison, the Road Warrior features the R2S Deep Pearl cover and Inverted Fe2 A.I. core, making it a bit stronger that the typhoon, I could see these balls being a good 1-2 punch at the end of league nights or late in tournament blocks when the lanes break down. The all new Typhoon is a great option for bowlers who need a go-to piece when their stronger equipment starts to read too early or lose energy. Got to your local VIP proshop today to get yours!

Storm Typhoon Pattern: 43’ House Shot Layout: 40 x 4 x 40 Finish: Box (Power Edge) The Storm Typhoon marks the return of the “Hot” line but with a more modernized edge. The combination of the Reactor Pearl coverstock and the signature A.I. core technology finished with Power Edge makes this ball deliver even more performance than you’d expect from the original hot line that bowlers have been accustomed to. When throwing this on a typical house shot, it presents length with a strong, controlled motion on the backend. It was a lot stronger than I expected, however, this is a good transition piece. Throwing it on a fresh house shot made it struggle to turn the corner but as the lanes opened up, the Typhoon would come off the spot nice and clean… 10 back! I could see this ball being in play for all styles and all weights. Trevor Kopas Storm Staff Ambassador Pro Shop Operator #Bigboybowling

Storm Typhoon Ball Specs: Atmos A.I. Core with Reactor Reactive Coverstock Cover Finish: Storm Power Edge Layout: 6 x 6 x 1 My updated specs: Rev rate 420’s, ball speed 15.3 to 15.8 mph off the hand, axis tilt of 16 degrees and axis rotation of 70 degrees, PAP is 3 15/16th up 3/16th. Tested on Pro-lane surface on a 44 ft house pattern with lower volume used for the junior and senior leagues, a 44 ft house pattern with larger volume, and patterns that ranged from 33 ft to 39 ft sport patterns. What the Typhoon is all about: While looking into the specs of the recent release to revive the HOT LINE from Storm, I came across the new Atmos A.I. core is derived from the Tropical Surge core that has been around for several years and the core shape reminds me of my MOST favorite Roto Grip ball of all time, the DareDevil. When I saw the core picture, that took me back in time to the 2016-2017 season where I had my best season of all time mainly because of the Roto Grip DareDevils. So I took my current specs, compared them to my specs from 2016-2017 time and laid out the Typhoon with a 6 x 6 x 1 layout to give a similar but stronger backend compared to the DareDevil I used 80 percent of my league matches back then. The overall reaction is a little sharper than the DD but the length downlane is close if not identical. The check-mark reaction is still predictable and the direction change is strong, not as strong as the new Roto Grip Ultimate Wrecker but when hitting the heavier oil in the pattern, the ball does lose some of its “punch” but the drive is still there. A step up from the Tropical Surges and the Hustle lines, the Typhoon fits nicely into all three brands of SPI’s line ups. It's not overlapping anything currently in our lines and it is awesome to see the HOT LINE back and full of power!

TESTING ENVIRONMENT Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): USBC Queens BALL: Storm Typhoon Coverstock: Reactor Pearl Core: : Atmos A.I. Core Finish: Power Edge RG: 2.53 (14 Pounds) Differential: 0.039 (14 Pounds) MB/PSA: NA (14 Pounds) ME: Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 13-14 mph Rev Rate: 210 PAP: 5 1/2 right 1/4 up Ball Layout: 60x4½×30 What do we have here…..This is Storm’s newest ball from the HOT line, the Typhoon. I tend to not show off a new ball under a sport pattern as many players are looking at these reviews and videos and do not throw on harder shots. Well regardless of the condition this ball is thrown on it will be a great starter ball for a new bowler and will also be in the bags of advanced league bowlers and tournament players. I used my Exponent Sold as the test benchmark ball and this ball is about 3 boards weaker and very clean down lane. This ball had me moving right until I was able to find the perfect strike line to the pocket. This ball will be in my league and tournament bag.

Ball Specs: Storm Typhoon Coverstock: Reactor™ Pearl Reactive Power Edge Core: Atmos™ A.I. Core (Symmetrical) Color: Royal Purple/Steel Scent: Grape Punch Review: Everyone loves a good mid level pearl bowling ball. This has been a long time coming to say the least as we have not seen a hot line bowling ball since the Electricy a few years back. We drilled this ball with our normal layout: tweener, 350-375 revs, 16.5mph, layout of choice is 4x4x2 (pin is above bridge). This is a ball that is in play for a long period of time because of its versatility. Changing covers on mid level balls is also very popular for that reason. From what we have seen many people are experiencing great success with taking the power edge off if you experience more of a traditional house shot, or a house shot that puts a lot of volume down. If you loved the Electrify Pearl but need something a bit stronger this is a great compliment. It really does almost give off HyRoad Pearl vibes with similarity and smell, although we know nothing will ever replace that ball.

Ball Specs: Storm Typhoon Reactor Pearl Reactive Symmetric Atmos Core Power Edge Polished Layout 4 x 4.5 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: I have always been a fan of balls like the Electrify or Match Up and believe the new Typhoon fits into this category. When I tried the new Storm Typhoon, I noticed how this ball did not skid up front on the fresh but still got down the lane very well and had a strong move at the break point. It seemed the Typhoon was revving up but not reading the pattern too early. I really felt like the A.I. core addition aided in the hit of this ball. I struck on some light and high shots that I thought were likely to leave something, but it was nice when everything fell. The pearl cover works great with the Power Edge finish on this ball. The new Typhoon also has a nice grape scent. I would put this ball over my Surge pearl but under my Equinox in total hook. This ball should be a great addition in my line up for when the lanes start to burn up or when faced with a light oil situation. Summary: The Typhoon gets down the lane easy and has great back end motion. This ball hits hard and has great carry. The Typhoon will be a great ball for lighter patterns or high rev bowlers.

I drilled the new storm Typhoon 4.5x4.5x1 to give me a pretty strong rolling layout. Out of the box this ball smells amazing and looks amazing. The resurrection of the storm hotline and reactor cover stock from the tropical heats was enough to catch my attention! My first reaction of this ball is it is incredibly clean and slow for a low-end pearl ball. It reminds me a stronger hustle in a way. This ball is prefect for clearing the fronts but still reading the middle and providing enough control to crush the pocket. If you are a fan of the hustle line or tropical surges (midnight and solid purple) then you definitely need to grab one of these to upgrade your bag. 10/10 from me!

Designed for light to medium conditions, Typhoon will be one of the weaker balls in your arsenal. I have found this to be a step down off the IQ AI and will be utilized if I am seeing tons of hook and need to tame the reaction or if I am looking to move back right as this ball will easily clear the front part of the lane without hooking early and provide a controllable shape down lane without overreacting.
