Firmly ensconced at the top of the Storm performance heap is the all-new Atomic Core. Yes, it officially boasts a 0.053 total differential in a 15 pound ball, and the rest of its prodigious oomph accepts credit from the strategically placed inlets surrounding the oval bolt and greater mass displacement along the z-axis creating an enhanced intermediate differential.

Sources and method

Specs. Storm published specs, as shown on BowlersMart’s original Storm Atomic core page (2022), as published by the manufacturer.

Baseline. The baseline is 265 in-stock, published reactive and urethane balls. Plastic and polyester covers, 2-piece, 3-piece and pancake cores, missing covers and missing RG or differential values are excluded.

Percentiles. Percentiles are the share of baseline balls with a strictly lower or higher value; ties are not counted.

Nearest cores. Nearest cores are ranked by distance on standardized 15 lb RG and differential, with the same symmetric or asymmetric shape preferred among near ties (distance bands of 0.1).

Mass bias. Mass bias is compared among asymmetric balls with numeric mass bias only.
