How Does Urethane Bowling Balls Affect The Lane Pattern & The Oil
Today we are talking about Urethane and how it affects the lanes!
Balls featured are the Storm Pitch Black, Rot Grip Rubicon UC3, Storm Pro Motion, 900 Global Zen Master and Storm Nova on the PBA Viper Oil pattern!
Storm Pitch Black Bowling Ball
Storm has created the Pitch Black, a solid urethane ball, for their Thunder Line. This ball is intended to provide control on lighter and shorter oil conditions. The Capacitor core gives this ball a straighter but strong delivery.
-Coverstock: Controll Solid Urethane
-Weight Block: Capacitor Core
-Factory Finish: 1000-grit Pad
-Ball Color: Pitch Black
-RG:2.57 (for 15# ball)
-Diff:0.022 (for 15# ball)
-Recommended Lane Condition: Light Oil
Roto Grip Rubicon UC3 Bowling Ball
The Rubicon™ UC3 (Ultimate Concept 3) takes Tour Level performance to a whole new level. We first focused on core specifics and decided that the mildly asymmetric Rondure™ Core was the ideal core shape in order to generate adequate flare.
From there we engineered the Tour-ethane™ Pearl coverstock to maximize performance and control on those higher friction patterns and lane surfaces. This core and urethane cover combination changes the game!
Tour-ethane™ Coverstock
Sometimes in the search to find the answer to modern day situations, you are forced to take a step or two backwards and investigate pre-existing alternative options that in the end, just may hold the answer to what you are in search of. Such is the case in the development and creation of our new Tour-ethane coverstock material. This material was derived as the result of this new direction of thinking and formulating. Our R&D Team followed the chemistry path of pure urethane from yesteryear in order to find the answer to the modern-day struggle in terms of excessive friction. Whether it is due to friction in the oil pattern, friction in the lane surface, or a combination of both. To that we say – Fear Friction No More!

The Titleist ProV1 is the #1 selling golf ball due to watching so many pro golfers play this ball. If we watch PBA bowlers throw all urethane in the weekend finals then where is the incentive for me to buy a $200 bowling ball if it is not good enough for a PBA bowler which will have the effect of fewer Reactive balls made by ball companies. The turnover time on ball names is already ridiculous. You see a ball in leagues and decide to get you one and good luck finding one other than used or maybe EBay.
The market is flooded with balls by the major companies. They seem to come out with new models every few weeks, or so it seems.
