The Storm Tropical Heat has probably been the most popular bowling ball in my shop. It is really hard to beat the performance you get from this ball for $109.99. This new solid release is going to almost create a arsenal out of this line. I have drilled these balls for all types of players and I have yet to see a person not like it. I cannot wait to get my hands on this ball.

Are you ready to set the lanes ablaze? Well now you can with the new Storm Tropical Heat!



First, Storm added a Solid version of the proven Reactor reactive coverstock, known for such balls as the Thunderstruck and Street Rod. Next, they wrapped it around the Turbine Core, the engine inside the Fast, Furious and Natural. This combo is HOT! Whether this is your first reactive ball, or you're an advanced player looking for an option on drier conditions, give the Tropical Heat a shot!

The Storm Tropical Heat Indigo/Violet is currently selling for $94.99 and rates a 168.9 on the bowlingball.com Perfect Scale®.


The new Storm Tropical Breeze is going to be the the ultimate ball for drier patterns. Rev dominate players are going to LOVE this ball. I myself plan on drilling at least 2 of these. It is going to be nice to be able to play in the track area on a house shot for a change.

Scoring has never been such a BREEZE! The new Storm Tropical Breeze is bringing entry performance to a new level! Featuring the new Camber Core, the Tropical Breeze will be perfect for those beginners looking to step up to reactive resin. Advanced players looking for options on drier conditions will benefit greatly from this new cover/core combination. The Pink/Purple model is infused with the fragrance of birthday cake as well!

The Storm Tropical Breeze Pink/Purple is currently selling for $82.99 and rates a 118.5 on the bowlingball.com Perfect Scale®.

Here we go!! New cover, new core with a strong design than the Cell series. This ball is going to create some entirely different for Roto Grip fans. I know I am looking forward to this release as much as everyone else.
Put this THEORY to the test. The evolution of the bowling ball never has reached a level this advanced!

The Theory we are bringing to you is based on an exciting new interior shape called the Triliptic Core.

It's a triple elliptical shape that has a myriad of benefits from consistent axis migration to the ease of drilling and predictability of ball motion...it's all there! It takes lots of engineering to come up with a design this intense, and you can literally FEEL the blood, sweat and tears that have gone into the creation of this Theory.

This is a ball that a lot of people have been waiting on. The Rotary Core wrapped with a hybrid cover. This ball will fit nicely between the solid and the pearl and will quickly become favorite among all bowling styles.

Cut the heart out of your opponent with the Roto Grip Nomad Dagger!

Looking forward to the new Nomad Dagger, we are relying upon the proven Rotary weight block design to carry the success of the series into the future. This unique core shape fits so many different styles of bowlers! Strokers, crankers, and tweeners alike have found success with the Nomads...in fact, the Nomads have come to be must-haves in Wes Malott's tournament arsenal, too.

And with an Ultra Vision Hybrid coverstock, the Nomad Dagger comes prepared with a 1500-grit polished finish. Matched with this Rotary core, it's a lethal combination. You need this ball.

Copy and paste the following:

As a follow up to the C-system 3.5 Brunswick releases the C-System 4.5. With this core being symmetrical and the addition of the Chemical Friction Technology in the coverstock, this ball is sure to give one of the biggest backend motions of any Brunswick ball to date.

CFT v4.5 Coverstock

CFT v4.5 is the next progression in Chemical Friction Technology. The CFT v4.5 coverstock has a lower friction factor than CFT 3.5 which improves length through the heads and mid-lane without
sacrificing the quick response and improved traction on the back-end.

I-Block Symmetric Core

The new I-Block Symmetric core was created by modifying the original asymmetric I-Block core (which has a symmetric base and an asymmetric flip block) to have an asymmetric base. By creating an asymmetric base with an asymmetric flip block on perpendicular axes the two asymmetries cancel each other out making the core shape symmetric. The core shape was also thinned and stretched to increase the RG min while maintaining the overall differential.

Ball Motion

With its Rough Buff finish, the C(System) v4.5 will offer a lower friction factor with similar response time to friction alternative to the C(System) 3.5. The new C(System) v4.5 is best used on medium to oily lane conditions when you need to use a breakpoint further down the lane with a quick response motion to increase pin carry.

Reaction Setup

The C(System) v4.5 can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for symmetric bowling balls.
Lightweight Engineering

The unique core shape of each Brunswick ball is used for weights from 14 to 16 pounds. This approach to lightweight ball engineering provides bowlers with consistent ball reaction characteristics across this weight range. The same drilling instructions can be used for 12- and 13-pound balls. This is because Brunswick uses a generic core shape with an RG differential that is close enough to the 14-16 pound shape.

The Brunswick C (System)4.5 is currently selling for $99.99 and rates a 211.8 on the bowlingball.com Perfect Scale®.

I was a really big fan of the Dimension Series due to the Symmetrical core and strong cover. I have no doubt that the Prodigy is going to be one great ball due the same characteristics. The core inside of the Prodigy should provide a motion that is going to be able to be used by many different players on many types of lane conditions

prod-i-gy (n) - something wonderful or marvelous a wonder. The Prodigy is the new cornerstone of Storm's Master Line with a Centripetal core featuring a lower center of gravity to create stronger ball motion.

Our first enterprise was to build the new weight block from the ground up. Showcasing the Master Line, the Prodigy features an all-new Centripetal core design that would make even the most demanding engineer proud.

The shape of the new Centripetal core allows for consistency of dynamic design after drilling. What this means is that you can drill the Prodigy with a variety of layouts and guarantee consistent, predictable results from break point to pocket.

As for the cover, we encased the new core shape with a multitude of options and found the aggressive and reliable R2X Pearl material with E.T.M. (Enhanced Traction Mica) gave us the desired results. Having proven itself with the Second Dimension as Rhino Page will testify, the R2X Pearl with E.T.M. increased the surface profile as verified with the laboratory-quality profilo-meter.

And with a 4000-grit Abralon finish, you are sure to get a clean glide through the heads without sacrificing control of the midlane. You've got the best of both worlds!

In conclusion, Storm continues to develop innovative technology combined with fine workmanship. That's why we are The Bowler's Company.

The long awaited release of the Mutant Cell Pearl is now upon us. This ball is absolutely amazing! Compared to the Mutant Cell it is cleaner through the fronts and A LOT more angular. It gives a similar motion to the Cell Pearl for me but with more overall hook. The Mutant Cell Pearl will definitely make a run for ball of the year!


The Evolution of Technology continues to Mutate! Introducing the Roto Grip Mutant Cell Pearl.

The newest addition to the Cell series and the ever popular Crown line is showing what technology can really do for ball reaction.

The Nucleus II core with its higher RG value and increased intermediate differential creates a much more defined breakpoint than the original, but still features the predictability that has made the Cell line so popular.

Enhancing that motion even further is the Cytoplasmic XL pearl reactive coverstock. The combination of increased surface topography and enhanced friction values delivers stronger mid-lane traction with extreme entry angle to the pocket.

Get ready for the most radical Cell of them all!
