Storm Phaze 2 X-Comp Bowling Ball

A Decade-Proven Benchmark Solid

About the Phaze II

Storm releases dozens of balls every year, but few earn a permanent spot in bags the way the Storm Phaze II has. Nearly a decade after its release, it is still one of the most trusted symmetric benchmark balls in the sport, proof that a great core and cover combination never goes out of style.

The Phaze II pairs the symmetric Velocity Core with Storm’s TX-16 Solid Reactive coverstock at a 3000-grit finish. The result is a strong, controllable, endlessly readable motion for medium to medium-heavy oil, the kind of dependable shape that has kept the Phaze II in arsenals for years.

Understanding the Storm Velocity Core and Storm TX-16 Solid Reactive

Storm built the Phaze II to be a strong, readable benchmark. Specifically, the symmetric Velocity Core revs up cleanly and reads the lane predictably with strong flare, while the TX-16 Solid cover at a 3000-grit finish grabs the mid-lane for traction and continues smoothly to the pocket. As a result, it delivers a powerful but controllable shape that handles medium to medium-heavy oil and repeats shot after shot, exactly why it has lasted so long. The full per-weight specifications are listed below.

A Strong, Readable Symmetric Core That Has Stood the Test of Time

At the heart of the Phaze II is the symmetric Velocity Core. At 15 lb it measures RG 2.48 and a strong .051 differential, numbers that produce heavy flare and a powerful but readable motion. As a symmetric core, it reads the lane predictably and repeats the same shape shot after shot, giving you strong hook with the control and forgiveness of a true benchmark.

That blend of strength and control is why the Velocity Core has lasted nearly a decade. The high differential delivers the flare to clear medium-heavy oil, while the symmetric design keeps the reaction smooth and repeatable. It is a strong ball that stays easy to read, the foundation of one of Storm’s most enduring releases.

A Strong Solid Cover for an Honest, Traction-First Read

The Phaze II wraps that core in Storm’s TX-16 Solid Reactive coverstock at a 3000-grit finish. The TX-16 solid reads the mid-lane honestly and grabs the oil for strong traction, then continues to the pocket rather than snapping. The 3000-grit surface keeps the read clean and even while still providing plenty of grip.

That strong, controllable read is what makes the Phaze II such a dependable benchmark on medium to medium-heavy oil. It tells you what the lane is doing without overreacting, so you can trust it shot after shot. Leave it at the 3000-grit box surface for the classic Phaze II read, or adjust the surface at your pro shop for more or less traction.
