Storm Typhoon Bowling Ball

Storm brings back the popular Hot Line with the release of the Typhoon. This new release features the Reactor pearl cover with the Atmos A.I. core. At 15 pounds the Typhoon has a medium RG of 2.53 with a differential of .042. I drilled the Typhoon at 5x5x2 putting the pin above the bridge. The Typhoon with its Power Edge finish, glides easily through the front part of the lane and has a strong continuous motion on the backend. For me it fits in between the Road Warrior and the Electrify line of balls which was released a few years ago. The Road Warrior is about 4 to 5 boards more hook with a much quicker response on the backend, and the Typhoon is about 2-3 boards stronger than the Electrify solid with a much stronger backend motion. This ball is an excellent option for drier league conditions as well as later in tournament blocks when you need a ball to get down the lane, as well as bowlers with lower ball speeds and higher rev rates. Bowlers have been asking for the Hot Line to come back, and Storm listened and delivered another winner!

The Typhoon is the newest medium RG symmetrical pearl in the Storm line. Anecdotally, this one reminds me a lot of the Revenant. Clean, smooth, and a little lopey/slower response overall. This combination is unique to the market because you get the length and downlane motion, but its far more controlled and less sideways. This shape is a great way to battle early friction and calm down quick backends, when you typically have to pick one or the other. This ball has quickly made it into the middle of my bag, it fits just ahead of the Hustle line in a gap that has long-needed to be filled! -Chase Valenzuela

The newest addition to the Hot line at Storm is the Typhoon. After hearing the news of its development and seeing how the Typhoon was built, it was easy to figure out that this ball is designed for medium-to-lighter oil conditions and/or older surfaces. Our engineers at Storm had the old Tropical Heat ball in mind when designing the Typhoon, and if you remember the Tropical Heat, that ball was excellent. With an RG of 2.53 and differential of .042, that tells us that this ball wants to fly through the front of the lane, still provide some flare, and come off the a spot with a quick response time. I’ve drilled one so far and it rolls great. It’s mapped out as 4.5 x 4.5 x 2. This puts the pin above my ring finger and a stacked CG. After my X-Cell, Ion Max, and Origin are done working hard, the Typhoon is a nice ball to open up my angles and create more shape. With surfaces getting older and rev rates increasing, the Typhoon could be a great addition to your bag. Go drill one! #StormNation

Drilled my Storm Typhoon (4 x 4 x 2). Medium Rev rate and medium speed bowler. The Storm Typhoon is silky smooth through the front part of the lane storing energy to make a strong angular movement coming off the end of the pattern smashing the pins as the Storm Typhoon drives through the pin deck. The Storm Typhoon will be a great ball for lighter oil pattern or after the transition has settled down and the pattern has started to break down. #stormnation #SquadRG #strikingworldwide

The Typhoon is Storms newest hot line bowling ball. The Typhoon features the Atmos AI core wrapped in Reactor pearl. This creates a motion that perfectly bridges the gap between the Zen 25/!Q Tour and the Hustles/Tropicals. The Typhoon reminds me a lot of the old school Storm reaction. The Typhoon feels almost like a carbon copy of the 2Fast which just so happens to be the first ever Storm ball I drilled! Review Video: https://youtu.be/Jv0YEUa5CXs?si=ROFJJI7ITCqo5TrJ

The new Storm Typhoon features a new core called the Atmo AI that is inspired by the core in the Tropical Heat line. The Reactor cover has been a staple in Storm's cleaner releases and you can count on the Pearl Reactor cover to give you great length on even dry lane conditions. I was excited for this release as the Tropical Heat solid was one of my all time favorite balls. The core/cover combo alway let me stay closer to the friction. The Typhoon gave me just what I hoped for. I tested it first on a fresh house pattern. I started playing right up the track, just letting the ball do the work. The ball is clean and what really sets it apart is it's motion down-lane. Where most cleaner balls now tend to over-react off the friction, causing you to open the angles sooner, the Typhoon gives you an even, continuous roll. With a small change to add some tilt however, it will give you a bit more angle making it very versatile in the window of playing nearer the friction and allowing it to be useful throughout the lane's transition. This ball is a great addition to the bag for anyone who is rev-dominant or struggles to create the ball speed to deal with drier lane conditions. It's also incredibly useful in tournament bags and I'd recommend trying one when the lanes get tough.

The Typhoon for me is a great ball when the lanes are torn up. The first time I had tested the ball was after 2 shifts of league on a Friday night. The ball got through the front part of the lane with no issue at all and was relatively steady throughout the entire shot. The overall motion I wanted originally was smoother and more controlled, well this ball delivered that.

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!
