#2 - Storm Phaze Zero bowling ball
Storm Phaze Zero Bowling Ball
The Phaze line got off to a slow start with the original Phaze, but when the Phaze 2 dropped it quickly became a staple in everyone’s bowling bags.
Storm introduced this Phaze Zero earlier this year in Asia and it was a huge success. The GI-17 cover and the Velocity core used in the other Phazes gave this ball a similar motion to the Phaze 2 but the GI-17 cover is a touch stronger than the TX-16 Solid from the Phaze 2. This Phaze is sure to make anyone who loves their Phazes drool…
Core: Velocity Core
Coverstock: GI-17 Reactive
RG: 2.48
DIFF: 051
Finish: 3000 Abralon

Sapphire would be a nice ball to add to my bag
Top Gate would be a nice ball to add on my arsenal. Actually all of them are nice to add
Actually had the Gate in an earlier pearl version about 3 yrs ago great ball. Would love to get the Top Gate if it became available.
