Overview
An asymmetric RAD-TQ weight block drives the Storm Next Factor, modeled on the original X-Factor core. Storm dropped the outer core and wrapped the dense inner block in a thick shell, then covered it in a pearl reactive shell for a strong, classic reaction.
Bowlers who liked the old X-Factor shape get that motion with a modern pearl cover suited to tougher corners. No box finish, RG or differential figures are given, so lane matching takes some guesswork.
Who it's for
Experienced bowlers with some rev rate get a classic asymmetric motion. New bowlers still learning to throw straight would do better with a polyester spare ball first.
Pros and cons
- Classic asymmetric core shape
- Pearl cover reads tougher corners
- Thick shell around dense core
- Storm warranty included
- Box finish not listed
- RG and differential not listed
- Drilling not mentioned
Performance notes
The asymmetric block sets how much the ball flares and how hard it turns, and the thick shell around it gives a smoother, more classic shape. The pearl cover falls between two other Storm covers in traction, so it pushes through the front and reacts at the corner. Surface prep and drilling layout will change the motion.
