Storm Marvel Blast | Missing Reaction From Storm Lineup? | Prelude To Summit Pearl?

Speculation About A Potential “Summit Pearl” Bowling Ball

Storm Bowling has released the Marvel Blast bowling ball in Korea, sparking speculation about a potential US release under the name “Summit Pearl.” This theory stems from the Marvel Blast’s use of the NRG Pro Pearl reactive coverstock, which is also found on the Marvel Max Purple. The host suggests that the reaction of the Marvel Max Purple, characterized by a “sweeping arc into the pocket,” is similar to what a Summit Pearl might offer. This speculation is fueled by the popularity of the Summit line and the lack of a pearl option within it.

The Marvel Blast’s performance on the lanes further supports the possibility of a Summit Pearl. The host describes the ball’s motion as “very usable” for “standardly condition” lanes, noting its smooth movement and powerful finish. He compares the reaction to the Marvel ES, highlighting the need for a similar ball in the Storm lineup. The host believes that the Marvel Blast’s reaction, characterized by a continuous arc and strong pin carry, would make it a desirable addition to the Summit family.

For those interested in experiencing the potential precursor to the Summit Pearl, the Marvel Blast is available through overseas retailers. Options include BowlersMart, eBay, and Facebook groups dedicated to bowling ball sales. However, buyers should be aware of potentially higher costs due to shipping and the rarity of overseas balls. The host emphasizes that prices can reach $350 or more when purchasing from private sellers.
