Ion Max Element Max A.I. - Unleash Unprecedented Flare Potential
Element Max A.I.: The Science of 50% More Flare
The Storm Ion Max bowling ball features the Element Max A.I. Core, an asymmetrical core designed to produce significant flare potential on heavy oil conditions. It has a low RG (Radius of Gyration) and high differential, meaning the core is dense and the weight is distributed unevenly, leading to a more angular ball motion. What sets the Element Max A.I. Core apart is the inclusion of an additional weighted disk, extending the mass along the X-axis and resulting in 50% more flare potential compared to the Ion Pro’s core.
