Storm Pitch Black Bowling Ball

A True-Rolling Urethane Control Weapon

About the Pitch Black

Technology of yesteryear, with the spin of today’s modern game. The Storm Pitch Black is the ultimate choice for wood lanes and shorter oil patterns. It pairs the Capacitor Core with the porous, predictable Controll Solid Urethane coverstock for pure predictability at its finest: a smooth, controllable, true-rolling motion you can trust.

The Pitch Black is built for control. Higher-rev players and those with slower speeds love the Capacitor Core, a true-rolling masterpiece with a higher RG and lower differential that produces a long, smooth roll on tougher conditions. Where a reactive ball can be sharp and unpredictable on short patterns, the urethane Pitch Black gives you a controlled, repeatable shape, making you the master of your ball motion.

Understanding the Storm Capacitor Core and Storm Controll Solid Urethane

Storm built the Pitch Black for predictable control on dry and short patterns. Specifically, the symmetric Capacitor Core has a higher RG and a low differential, so it regulates flare for a long, smooth, true roll, while the Controll Solid Urethane cover reads the lane gently and predictably rather than snapping like reactive resin. As a result, it delivers the kind of controlled, repeatable motion that wood lanes and shorter oil patterns demand.

A True-Rolling Symmetric Core That Regulates Flare

At the heart of the Pitch Black is the symmetric Capacitor Core. At 15 lb it measures a higher RG of 2.57 with a low .022 differential, numbers that regulate flare for a long, smooth, true-rolling motion. That higher RG and lower differential are exactly what produce the controlled, predictable shape the Pitch Black is known for.

Higher-rev players and slower-speed bowlers especially love the Capacitor Core, because its true roll keeps the ball from over-hooking and makes the motion easy to repeat. It is pure predictability: a core built to make you the master of your ball reaction rather than a passenger to it.

A Porous Urethane Cover for Predictable, Controlled Motion

The Pitch Black wraps that core in the Controll Solid Urethane coverstock at a 1000-grit finish. Urethane is a porous, milder material than reactive resin: it reads the lane gently and predictably, so the Pitch Black holds a controlled line instead of snapping hard at the breakpoint. That smooth, even reaction is exactly what you want on dry, short, or worn surfaces.

On wood lanes and shorter oil patterns, that controlled urethane motion is a real weapon. The Pitch Black gets a smooth, repeatable read where a strong reactive ball would jump, giving you a dependable shape shot after shot. Take the surface down for a bit more grip on the driest lanes, or polish it up for more length, with surface changes done at your pro shop.
