Storm announces 4 new bowling ball launches: Alpha Crux – Phaze – Fight – Pitch Blue
The word โalphaโ can take on a few different meanings. It can imply a beginning or launch of something. Additionally, it can reference social dominance. However you look at it, the introduction of the new Alpha Crux is sure to help you impose your dominance on the lanes.
For eight years running Storm has dominated professional bowling, winning more titles than any other brand. Why? Superior performance. With a strong, consistent motion and exceptional power at the pins, Storm bowling balls are like no other.
It features exciting new technology in the coverstock which is sure to take the lead in many categories. Immaculately finished with a 2000-grit Abralonยฎ pad, the new Alpha Cruxis the perfect vessel to showcase the GI-16โข solid reactive coverstock. Following up on the GI-15โข (Game Improvement-2015) coverstock introduced on the Lockโข, the solid GI-16 is a force to be reckoned with. There is discontent for oil in its veins. In its DNA lies caverns of porosity and cliffs so deep that the shell acts like oars on a canoe helping your ball turn the corner on command.
The proven Catalyst Core featured in the original Crux and Crux Pearl has left bowlers wanting more. More strikes, more hook, and more winning. Itโs a dynamic asymmetrical design that really stands on its own. And itโs powerful, relentless, and unforgiving. It never backs down and, with the Alpha Crux in your hand, neither will you.

Phaze
Stormโs relentless commitment to the pursuit of perfect ball motion fuels our research and development team. We donโt just think outside the box, we question why the box was even there in the first place! 
The new Phaze features both innovative core andcoverstock technology, proving again that Storm is the leader in bowling innovation. And we can all agree that while new technology is always interesting, it really only matters to you if it produces something that helps you score better. After all, no one wins a tournament based on anything other than pinfall!
Advancements in the core shape are easily seen with the naked eye. This fast-revving shape, the aptly-named, supercharged Velocityโข Core helps you crush pin after pin as it produces more ball motion than any other shape in our Master Line.
So, whatโs this new coverstock, you might ask? Itโs a shell like no other โ just one look and you can see itโs completely different. The AX-16โข pearl reactive has a new additive that alters the texture of the surface, creating gripping power that refuses to step down. The new Phaze is up to any challenge thrown its way, just like you. And with a Storm ball in your hand, thereโs nothing that can phase you!

Fight
With 25 years of manufacturing and R&D experience, Storm has been a growing and thriving company dedicated to serving bowlers across the globe. In fact, the Storm name still continues to grow throughout the world today.
We are ‘The Bowlers Companyโข’ for a reasonโ we are vigilantly looking out for our customers’ best interests each and every day. We work hard crafting unique and special products which help you, the bowler, knock down more pins and achieve higher scores. And we’re sure you’ll see the benefits of this consistent effort the very minute you get your hands on the ferociously innovative Fightโข.
The pins aren’t always going to willingly lay down for you. Sometimes they put up a fight. So in development of our new Fight bowling ball, we explored some engineering concepts related to corevolume, and were able to show through testing that this concept worked in creating a different break point position and shape. The difference with the Iron Crossโข weight block is that it is the largest weight block Storm has ever developed. And while it was challenging to create this much flare potential in a design which retains this much axis rotation, we’re confident you’ll see the benefits.
– Coverstock: R4Sโข Solid Reactive
– Core: Iron Crossโข
– Finish: 3000-grit Abralonยฎ
– Fragrance: Candy Apple
– Recommended Oil Conditions: Medium Oil
– RG: 2.62

Pitch Blue
โThe Bowlerโs Company.โ Youโve heard the tag line before, right? To us itโs more than just a catch phrase, a few words to try to hang your hat on. Storm truly is the bowlers company because, through and through, we are a company of bowlers like no other. We know bowling, and we have a passion for excellence both on and off the lanes. 
And sometimes those lane conditions can get quite tricky! If the lanes are really dry and itโs hard to control the pocket, many top competitors put down their reactive balls in favor of traditional urethanes. Stormโs new Pitch Blueโข combines proven technology principles of yesterday with modern day science. The result is a new Controllโข Plus pearl urethane coverstock that is cleaner through the heads than the original Pitch Black and more responsive at the break point. Itโs a must for every tournament player.
The symmetrical and stable Capacitorโข Core helps regulate your flare potential with thunderous results. Let Stormโs Vector Layout Systemโข help you choose the proper layout for your game and your lane conditions. After all, isnโt it really all about you?
