Welcome back Chris! Looks like this is competing with the Motiv Black Venom and the Hammer Envy Tour, both in specs and color! These benchmark Asyms are versatile indeed!
This is of course, me being super picky because if I'm gonna spend $200 on a ball, then why not be picky? I thought the ball motion looks fantastic, especially when revs applied!
@BowlersRant yeah for sure ball motion wise this thing looks like it will be usable for pretty much everyone especially the pros. If I get this I will re-color all the etching, probably either a yellow or a green.
Welcome back Chris. I have yet to get an Asymm Storm/SPI ball, but I am interested in this one since I am a fan of the Phaze 2. Dark colored balls are my preference. This one looks good with the asymmetry and AI Core technology.
Never really matched up with a phase 2, my best results have always come with Asyms like my Reality. Maybe the mild Asym in this ball will be just what I need....
Just subscribed! great video. I agree with you I do wish they would have thrown a bit more color into the thing, but at the end of the day it's all about what the ball does. I was REALLY looking forward to a newer generation IQ, I love my Tour solid and my Ruby, also my 78/U but having a next gen IQ in the bag is something that I had hoped they would have done. already ordered this thing at my pro shop so we'll see..
Can you make a video about the discontinue list of SPI balls coming and what we could see in the near future? Maybe one of those marvels coming from overseas 👀👀👀 with AI tech?
@@BowlersRant I understand cores are different...I do wish that like Storm did with The Road, The AI, and 14-16 having the same specs... wish that was possible for this piece
@@BowlersRant That's why at 14 lb I try to seek out the balls that usually just raise in rg marginally, but the diff stays the same... have to avoid balls like Eternity and Jackals
Tour dynamix wasent a flop everyone on tour uses those. And as far as shelf appeal the better bowlers will tell you they want a darker colored ball. Personally I’d love it if all the balls were jet black. Obviously that won’t ever happen but people don’t want balls that look like the evoke. Some do but for the most part better bowlers never do
@@BowlersRant I don’t like it in general. Idk some people really love motiv and say they last absolutly forever but idk what it is for me. I bought my first two this year black venom and evoke and both for about the first 12 games rolled amazing I couldent miss with them. Then the evoke for what ever reason stopped hooking like it did and I couldent get any 10s out anymore and the black venom lost it to. Tried resurfacing them and it’s just weird it’s like they lost something. I’ve seen a few other people comment in motiv groups the same thing after about 9-12 games for them and other people say they last years. But after that I think I’m done with them and am sticking to storm because I’ve never really had any of their stuff die completely on me like the motiv stuff did.
This gonna be another flop, just like the tour dynam-x, also there’s no way this ball is anything above an F- for shelf appeal, tour Dynam-x looks better and I’d give that ball a C at best
So sad you didn't like the Tour Dynam X but it wasn't a flop, just because you couldn't match up or don't match up with equipment doesn't mean it's flop. Good luck!!
@@jerryalexander8803 I agree with you partially, not everyone will like the same balls, but the reason why it flopped is why it matters, the ball loses its reaction and needs a resurface after about 2 games, so why spend money on a ball that can’t even hold its reaction enough for league night
How bout a long lasting cover? Storm is the worst as far as cover life on there equipment after about 100 games there equipment takes a dive ⤵️ and no amount of resurfacing evere brings it back to the way it was when brand new and sure you could say that happens to all equipment from any manufacturer but it's my opinion stom stuff is the worst as far as longevity.
This is also true for Brunswick brands. I have drilled 5x more Brunswick balls than Storm and they all wear out relatively fast. It's just bowling in general now with thicker oils.
Great to have you back! No one does it like you.
Congratulations on five years!
Thank you!
Glad your back Beans nobody does reviews like you do
Thank you Kevin, appreciate the kind words and love bro :)

Exactly! And thank you!
Welcome back man! Been waiting for you to return and I hope your feeling better. Keep em coming!
Thank you bro, will do!
Definitely agree that they should have done a higher contrasting color for the logo, would have made it stand out even more.

Welcome back Chris, missed your ball review content
Thank you Dennis! Felt great with a new intro and some new graphics too. I like to keep it fresh & cracklin hot!
mah man! welcome back!
good info.
thank you sir!

Indeed and thank you!
Thanks for making more content my guy, hope your doing well
Thank you! I’m working out 4-5 times a week now and blood work is vastly improving
Glad to have you back brother
Thank you!
So glad you’re back @bowlersrant! Miss the snarky reviews and slamming of swag bowling
Thank you!
Welcome back, hope it was a nice break!!
It was! Felt great to shoot this and cover this release!
It's basically an updated Physix core...they look almost identical....not saying that's a bad thing, I loved my Infinite
You know, I was wondering about that...
Never really matched up with a phase 2, my best results have always come with Asyms like my Reality. Maybe the mild Asym in this ball will be just what I need....
I love my phaze ii which is a lefty redrill. But sometimes it’s not enough, so kinda with you on this one
Got my hands on a dark physix because of your review. Glad to see you back!!!
Sweet! How’s it roll bro?
@@BowlersRant took a month to get delivered so haven’t gotten around to punching it up yet but I’ll def let you know once I do
Please tell me where you order one from, I been trying to find one but nobody have them
Finally!!! I’ve been having to scroll through the usbc list myself.
hahahahah no problem
Just subscribed! great video.

Thanks for the sub and the comment!
LEEEEESSSSSSGOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Glad your back bro!
yes sir! Glad to be back!
Nice to see you back
Thank you sir!
다시 돌아와 반가워요!
그렇군요, 시청해주셔서 감사합니다!
Can you make a video about the discontinue list of SPI balls coming and what we could see in the near future? Maybe one of those marvels coming from overseas 👀👀👀 with AI tech?
Good idea, stay tuned....
I don't know if I'm crazy about these numbers for 14 lb...I like the specs for 15... I'm thinking hybrid Envy Tour
I like the specs for 13lbs. The secret to house shots is that you can strike with 13-16. Angle of entry is everything.
@@BowlersRant I understand cores are different...I do wish that like Storm did with The Road, The AI, and 14-16 having the same specs... wish that was possible for this piece
@@michaeljamrozy4299 Me too bro. i'd love it if numbers were uniform across all weights with weight blocks
@@BowlersRant That's why at 14 lb I try to seek out the balls that usually just raise in rg marginally, but the diff stays the same... have to avoid balls like Eternity and Jackals
Going to be a pearl envy tour... when they put a better tx20 solid on it.. the ball will be good
Its a hybrid, so possibly best of both worlds. time will tell
I feel this would have been a nice fit in the Global lineup but instead...ball 842 in the storm line.
Thanks for commenting bro
The best one is back, 🎉 I believe that this ball will be too similar to my Envy Tour Solid in terms of ball motion cool looking ball though
That is exactly the class of ball this is. and thank you for the kind words!
so another middle of the bag ball with a top shelf price, same thing they did with the lightning blackout i’ll pass lol
Yep! A $200 plus Assym too strong for typical House
I love everything about the Blackout besides the price
Jamz I feel this. I may drill a 13lbs for no thumb
Welcome back
thank you
So it’s a more expensive motiv black venom?
Same class of ball, but covers matter
@@BowlersRant absolutely. I’m guessing the ion cover fits in somewhere between the envy tour and black venom as far as strength goes
@@2handlife200 Im guessing Charles Hutcherson will do something along this lines. I do love a good comparison vid!
Heard Storm balls don't last as long as Motiv
ok but now it's time to see what balls they discontinue now.
a boat load, more on that coming soon ;)
Love you beans..great.vid.man
word up bro!
What do you think this would react in 14
14 will be nice, 13 will be an absolute animal and is likely what I will drill for a nothumb ball. Yes, 13lbs can absolutely shred racks
Love that TX-16 cover. Between Phaze II, Journey, and this a 3 ball arsenal should cover 90% of house shots youre likely to see.
Agree. I have a Phaze II that I recently drilled and with this piece, I love the idea of better layouts
Off of pure esthetic it kinda reminds of the Storm Prodigy
Nice
Welcome back Mr. Kotter!

No scent?
It's Kiwi Tart
kiwi tart, sorry i forgot!
Cool video tech bowling ball storm ion pro bowling ball with ai technology in the bowling ball more strike and spares hitting power at times
Thanks Scotty
@@BowlersRant your welcome
Interesting… launch this one day while communicating the discontinuation of ten balls the next.
Think in terms of the calendar. What comes in June?
New post……who dis
another Dynamax, different color
Maybe
Brunswick beat them to this with the Envy Tour 🤷🏿♂️
It’s def not a race but in terms of first to market, I don’t think anyone is questioning this
It's so weird to just call something a benchmark ball. That's for consumers to decide. Lol wild approach
I think some people have the idea that benchmark means symmetrical.
This gonna be another flop, just like the tour dynam-x, also there’s no way this ball is anything above an F- for shelf appeal, tour Dynam-x looks better and I’d give that ball a C at best
So sad you didn't like the Tour Dynam X but it wasn't a flop, just because you couldn't match up or don't match up with equipment doesn't mean it's flop. Good luck!!
Speaking of the Tour Dynam-x, a Storm Staffer has confirmed it’s being discontinued, along with a bunch of other SPI balls
@@bowlingdude2995 isn’t that normal, all ball companies discontinue a bunch of balls after a year or so
@@jerryalexander8803this. It comes down to how well the ball fits and your release. Any ball strikes. Any ball gutters.

Storm will be out of business in the next 5:years
Not a chance
