Storm Marvel Pearl

Storm has re-released the popular Marvel Pearl bowling ball. This ball originated in 2011 and has been a hit on the lanes ever since. Storm created this ball and is re-releasing it because they were looking for a ball that offered a strong move to the pocket. The Centripetal Core used in this ball was designed for players that need low, stable spin with forgiveness, the extremely low center of gravity allows this. The core also features cascading channels that help maximize mid-lane control and produces a easier direction change down lane. The R2X Pearl coverstock creates a midlane reaction that suites various bowler's styles. This is a go to ball that won't let you down.

Question:


I have one of the original Marvel's and I really liked it. It was drilled conventional. For some reason I went away from the Marvel and currently have a Storm Rebel and a Scandal both drilled fingertip but both seem pretty strong. Would re drilling the Marvel to finger tip be a good solution for me.

Two questions: am new to bowling. Would this be a good ball for a beginner? I've only ever used a house ball. Second question, would you recommend conventional or finger tips holes for a beginner getting this ball? Proving this would be a ball recommended for a beginner.

11/16/2017 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


If you are a beginner bowler, we recommend looking into either entry level balls or mid performance balls. This ball is a high performance balls. A good line to look at is the Brunswick Rhino series.

Is it a good hook ball

12/2/2017 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


The Marvel Pearl is not the most aggressive hooking ball Storm makes, but it does have a good bit of hook. It has more length then what you would get out of a ball made just to hook. Check out the videos to see it in action.

Question:


Would this ball be good for a low rev\low speed player?

12/18/2017 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Yes, this should work well if you needed a good ball for medium to heavy oil. The polished finish and pearl coverstock give this ball good length which matches well with your lower ball speed and the hook rating is pretty strong so even though you have lower revs, it will still give a decent hook potential on the backed.

Question:


Is there any difference between storm lights out and the marvel pearl

7/12/2018 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Yes, there are a few key differences between the two bowling balls. The Marvel Pearl has an R2X Pearl cover and the Lights Out has a R2S Hybrid. The R2X cover is stronger than the R2S cover and also the Marvel has a stronger weight block so the Marvel would be strong enough for Medium to Heavy Oil while the Lights Out was more suited for medium oil and some lighter oil conditions.
