![]() ![]() What winds up happening is a fair bit of overlap in ball reactions for Bryan’s style. It has an angular tip downlane relatively speaking. It gets downlane very easily, maybe a little too easily for consistency on fresh. He had a nice little slot near the second arrow going up the boards. I would say he also saw similar reaction. Ultimately it was a reliable shape that my eye liked.īryan is back testing the Parallax. It’s maybe a touch less angular than the Nuclear Cell but there is a fair bit of overlap for my game with these two balls. The ball is angular as you expect from Storm but also readable. ![]() That 1-2 feet earlier read made a huge difference in consistency. Has a clean shape and gets downlane easily but now the core transition matches better the bite of the cover so it’s not so far past the breakpoint. You can see what a difference it made in terms of breakpoint consistency after the scuff. So about 10 shots before and 10 shots after. But what buys me a little more consistency is scuffing a touch with an old 2000 abralon pad so I can’t see my reflection like a mirror. ![]() You can see the shape, same as the Nuclear Cell. Out of the box, it is a little finicky for me with the good ole’ 1500 polished finish. Watch the ball reaction and adjust the surface to find a spot for the ball. It just shows you that it doesn’t really matter solid, hybrid, pearl. It’s a strong hybrid cover and it’s certainly possible if you put as much surface as the Omega Crux, it would overlap into the Strong Defined category. That’s also where the Storm Parallax fits. I liked the Nuclear Cell Reaction and slotted in the Mid Defined Category. Sure there are nuances but being a shiny asym, it had very similar characteristics. What do we have with the Parallax? The quick hit on it was it feels quite similar to the Roto Grip Nuclear Cell. The Storm Parallax uses the Aeroflo™ Core (Asymmetrical) core inside the Traction X7™ hybrid coverstock.ġ5 pound = RG of 2.52, diff of. Your driller will alter the shape to suit your game.” “Keep in mind that coverstock accounts for 70% of ball reaction, but the core creates the dynamic shape of the reaction. Don’t forget to check out Haley’s Pro Shop for world class drilling and coaching! A big thank you to Jeff Miller and Ron Hoppe. Let me introduce our new partner Haley’s Pro Shop. Cranker started near 30 with his laydown point, crossing between the third and fourth arrows while using board 10 as his breakpoint.The Storm Parallax is typical Storm shiny asym goodness. He started his ball on board 15 off his hand, crossing 11 at the arrows and using eight as his breakpoint. Stroker saw a difference in shape, but he lined up almost on top of where he was playing this pattern with the Phaze II. The quicker response to the friction is not surprising from the polished hybrid cover, but the testers were pleasantly surprised with the amount of total hook this ball creates.Īll three testers saw the best reaction on the fresh medium oil pattern. ![]() The Phaze III’s R3S Hybrid coverstock from the Intense Fire comes out of the box at a 1500 grit polished finish to push this ball farther down the lane than the Phaze II, while offering a bigger and stronger move off the dry. The low RG, high differential Velocity core design is identical in the three Phaze bowling balls. The Phaze II is loved for its versatility, especially on tougher lane conditions, and the Phaze III’s motion complements it nicely. The Phaze III is the highly anticipated follow-up to the popular Phaze II in Storm’s Master line. ![]()
