Storm Typhoon Bowling Ball

Review by Nicholas Hogan on the Typhoon Alright, they claim this has all the makings to be like the old Tropical Heats, one of my favorite balls all time from Storm. Checkmark one: Good low price point! Checkmark two: Over perform that price point! Checkmark three: Strike a lot! Honestly my first shot with this ball besides a few in practice during league was game 3 in league...moved left threw it out the window a little and expected it to not recover, and this ball said "nope I got you" turned left and flushed it. I drilled mine 5 1/4 x 3 1/2 x 2 3/4 which essentially puts the pin directly above my bridge. The Typhoon out performs the price its being sold at and it definitely reminds me of the Tropical Heats from way back when, so if you miss that shape this is an easy choice to pick up as a replacement.

Storm Typhoon - Hot Line Coverstock: Reactor Pearl - Power Edge Core: Atmos A.I. RG: 2.53 Differential: .042 (15 lbs) Fragrance: Grape Punch Layout: 5 x 5 x 2 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 Lane Surface: HPL The Typhoon is the latest release in the Hot Line and it was designed for light to medium oil conditions. It has been a while since we have seen a ball in the Hot Line and the Typhoon does not disappoint. I was a huge fan of the Tropical Heat and that’s where Storm found the inspiration to design the Atmos A.I. core which has been combined with the Reactor Pearl cover. The Typhoon provides length through the front part of the lane with a controlled and consistent back end reaction that can help bowlers of all styles. The Typhoon gave me a good look sliding on 22, looking 13 at the arrows with my breakpoint around 6-7. I was able to move further left by decreasing my ball speed and it continued to look great. When compared to The Road Warrior, the Typhoon was a couple boards weaker and had a smoother back end reaction. The Typhoon may not be the first ball out of my bag for league or tournaments, but I can see it being very useful for lower speed players or high rev players later in blocks or when the lanes are really hooking.

The layout on my Typhoon is 50 x 4 1/2 x 40. I was looking for a ball motion I can predict and rely on when the lanes get drier during the transition or on high friction lane surfaces. I have actually found the ball in this Storm Typhoon! For my lower ball speed and tilt, this ball matches up with me very well with me. I can use the Typhoon for straighter angles with more end-over-end roll, and I can play a little more left to right with side rotation to create the perfect consistency of hook and roll. It gives me “HyRoad Pearl” vibes (especially with the scent), so I definitely have found my replacement. This Typhoon is the first ball in the “Hot” line since the Electrify series, but I’m excited to throw this ball on the typical house shots. This ball will fit all bowling styles and will not disappoint! Devon R. Storm Staffer
