Storm Absolute
The Storm Absolute high-performance bowling ball will absolutely improve your scores! This ball takes a single-density asymmetric core and combines it with the R2S Deep Hybrid coverstock. The core design decreases the amount of mass where the thumb hole is typically drilled. This design function helps the ball respond better to friction on the lane due to increased intermediate differential. The R2S Deep Hybrid coverstock formula allows a cleaner approach through the front of the lane allowing for more angle and aggression through the pins on heavy oil.

Question:
I have the Columbia top speed 300 with this ball be okay with my arsenal I was thinking what is the difference could you just help me a little bit?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hi Rosie, the Storm Absolute is designed for heavier oil and reacts earlier than the Columbia 300 Top Speed. You could add the Storm Absolute as your first ball and then use the Columbia 300 Top Speed for more length as the lanes break down a bit.

Question:
How does absolute work for a lower rev bowler on heavy oil and longer oil patterns
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
If you are a low rev bowling with a slower ball speed this ball should work pretty well as described and give you good length with smoother backend hook. However, if you have lower revs but a higher ball speed then this may give you trouble because it was already designed to go longer on the lanes and it will not have much time to hook on the backend if you have a higher ball speed and lower rev rate.

Question:
I toss the Zen and the Eternity and the UC2 . Do you think the Absolute would be to similar to add to the bag ? I am a stroker low revs and 14 to 15 MPH ball speed and throw mostly on fresh house shots in leagues
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The hybrid coverstock on the Absolute will give you a slightly earlier read than the pearl coverstocks on the other bowling balls you had. All will still have good length and this ball does have a very similar strength weight block compared to the other balls you have. I am not sure there is a big enough gap to justify adding this ball to your other three because they do have a lot of similar features to give them similar length and hook potential with the only noticeable difference being the coverstock material but that still may not be a huge jump from what you have. If your Zen was the 4000 Grit out of the box then I would say that is probably your closest comparison to this.

Question:
I am a senior league bowler currently rolling a 15lb Fireroad with a Hustle as a second ball. I am a stroker type style with a ball speed between 12 to 13 mph. When the lanes start to dry I swicth to the Hustle and it works ok. I would to find a ball that hits like the fireroad in med conditions but in dry conditions. What ball would you recommend to fit a stroker on dry lanes?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
The Fire Road was listed as a mid performance ball for medium oil conditions. It had a pearl coverstock and polished finish to give you good length. The Hustle is a mid performance ball rated for light to medium oil conditions so it is slightly less hook but not a huge step down for when the lanes get light to drier. I think the next step down to get something better in lighter to drier lanes would be something like the Tropical Surge which is listed as an entry performance ball. It is mostly listed as entry performance because it works more in lighter conditions and has a slightly lower hook potential overall. But in dry conditions this may be a better option than the Hustle.

Question:
I am looking to get back into bowling. When I was bowling I had a ball that went straight then hooked on the back end. Will this ball be good for me
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This ball does have good length and a strong backend hook but this ball is a high performance ball designed mostly for heavy oil only. I would only suggest this ball if you planned on having at least a 2-3 bowling ball arsenal as you are going to need something to handle more medium oil conditions and also something more for lighter conditions. Some bowlers like to start with a more medium oil type ball as an all around ball and then later build from that to get pieces as needed. There could be a chance that you very rarely see heavier oil conditions and this ball may hook too much in medium to lighter oil conditions to really get the performance you would need.

Hi Bob! The high performance Storm Absolute is designed for heavy oil and would have more reaction than the upper-mid performance Storm IQ Tour Ruby.

Question:
Will this ball be good for someone who throws 13mph
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This does have good length which can help for a average to lower ball speed. However, you would still need to use this in heavier oil conditions because it does have a higher hook potential.

Question:
Is this ball good for a higher rev bowler with an average speed about 14mph?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
If you are more rev dominant then you may prefer a ball that gives you good length so the ball does not roll out too early on the lanes and not finish well. The Absolute does have a polished finish to help give this good length so it should be a good fit for a rev dominant bowler.

Question:
I have a Venom Shock and will be adding a Hammer Hazmat to my Arsenal. As a stroker with a lower speed and rev rate, will the Absolute still work alright on mid to lighter oil lanes?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Unfortunately the Absolute is a higher performance ball with a very high hook potential that needs heavier oil conditions to work best in. This ball would be too strong for medium to lighter amounts of oil.

Question:
im thinking about either getting this or the absolute power . I am a 300 Rev rate bowler with 14 mph on the ball which is better
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
I think you could use either option but the Absolute will read a touch early for a little smoother reaction while the Absolute Power gives you a little more length if you wanted to play more of a backend angle.

Question:
Good compliment to super nova im a 300 rpm bowler.
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This will read a little later than the Super Nova but both are high performance and both handle heavier oil so I am not sure you would use both of them on the same night. You may could see where other people are playing and go with one or the other to give you a different line but I would not think you could transition from the Super Nova to the Absolute as the lanes break down.
