In my opinion, the Storm ThunderStruck Solid is a must-have for any bowler! This bowling ball is one of the most predictable balls I’ve ever thrown. It’s an absolute life saver if you bowl a lot of tournaments and run into tough lane conditions. With its combination of the Reactor Coverstock and original Thunder core, the Thunderstruck Solid gets through the heads easily, reads the midlane great, and has a very smooth arc on the backend. This bowling ball isn’t going to hook off the lane, but it’ll allow you play many different lines with ease. Who can argue with Norm Duke? A lot of the time, straighter is greater! I’ll give the Thunderstruck Solid the best compliment I can give any ball: It reminds me of my favorite ball of all-time, the Speed Zone. Nothing I’ve thrown since that ball has come as close as the Storm ThunderStruck Solid. Just like my Speed Zone, I can throw this bowling ball on lots of different conditions, and I know what the ball is going to do. It’s great to have a bowling ball in your hand that you know is going to react the same each and every time. The Storm Thunderstruck Solid is just that ball. So if you want to make those tough lane conditions look easy, or you want a ball that will kill a house shot, pick up a Thunderstruck Solid! Thanks again Storm for another great bowling ball!
Bowl Up a Storm!!

This review is on a great overseas release, the Storm Power Agent!
The Storm Power Agent uses the proven EMC that has been used in the entire Agent line, as well as a solid/pearl hybrid of the R2S coverstock. It’s basically a Secret Agent (my favorite Storm ball ever) without the particle. This is gonna get it down the lane easier than the Secret and make a harder turn on the backend. However, since it is a hybrid, it will start up sooner and be a bit smoother than the original Agent. The Storm Power Agent is the perfect ball to fit between the Secret and Original Agents! This ball really hooks, so if you need something for medium-heavy oil or longer patterns, the Power Agent is a great choice! It’s unfortunate this ball wasn’t released to the American public, but fortunately here at Airport Lanes Pro Shop you can get one! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to pick up this rare and awesome ball!
As always… Bowl Up a Storm!

This review is on the newest addition to Storm’s Master line of bowling balls, the Storm Dimension.
Knowing that this ball is a hook monster and being a high rev player, I used my favorite layout. 5 1/2x 4 1/2 which put the pin above my middle finger as I am right handed. I wanted this layout to do what it always does for me and give me a smooth and consistent reaction. I got exactly what I wanted. I believe this ball can handle any amount of oil you will find. When they say this ball is a hook monster, it is the Sasquatch of hook! I used the Storm Dimension on the PBA Shark pattern, and it felt like a house shot. I think all of you Storm fans should buy 2, leave one at box finish and another one with some polish to get it down the lane and give you more backend. It would be an amazing start to an arsenal! If you’re looking for hook, hit and durability then the Dimension and as always Storm is the way to go!

I’d like to share with you a review I wrote on one of my favorite balls of all time, the Storm Secret Agent :
Pin to PAP(4 7/8 over x 1/4 up) - 5 1/2″
CG Placement - 1/2″ right of grip center
Balance Hole - None
This put the pin under my middle finger.
Surface Preparation - 1000 Abralon
What I Was Looking For In This Layout: I went with my favorite layout. I wanted this ball to react evenly as I wanted it to be the first ball out of my bag, my benchmark.
What I Ended Up With In This Ball Layout: Exactly what I wanted and more. To say that this is my benchmark ball would be selling the Secret Agent short. I throw this ball on everything but extreme dry.
I’ve had many balls in past that I would consider ‘condition specific,’ meaning that the ball needed the right condition for it to shine. Well the Secret Agent, for me, is the complete opposite of condition specific. I’ve never had a ball that I’ve seen so many different reactions out of. On everything from Heavy Oil to medium-dry, this ball has been all I could ever ask for. The Secret Agent seems to change its reaction according to what is needed on a certain condition. So I guess you could say, for me, this ball reads the lane better than anything I’ve ever thrown.
I know I’ve put the Storm Secret Agent on an extreme pedestal, but…
I believe that if you try one, you won’t be disappointed! It may not be the all-around monster that it is for me, but the Secret Agent will definitely find it’s place in your bag. And if you’re like me, your heart.
Thank you Storm for continuing to be ‘The Cream of the Crop’!
Here’s a great video on the Secret Agent:
