My Top 3 Favorite Solid Reactive Bowling Balls That Are Still Available

The Storm !Q Tour Solid, Storm Phaze 2 and the Roto Grip Gem are the ABSOLUTE best solids I have in my arsenal and here's why! Was even able to pop off 300 while filming!

I always stress about using the right tool for the right job! Today we are talking just that! My top 3 solid reactive bowling balls. 

 

Roto Grip Gem Bowling Ball

Brilliant. Extraordinary. Magnificent. Call it what you will, but we prefer to call this beauty exactly what it is, a GEM™. Not only will its breathtakingly good looks mesmerize your competition, but its overall performance will as well thanks to the inner treasure known as the Defiant™ LRG Core – (the lowest RG asymmetrical core Roto Grip has ever created.) Which means this is by far the fastest revving asymmetrical core we have ever produced.

And well, we couldn’t just stop there, so we wrapped this monstrosity of a core with the most aggressive solid coverstock we make known as MicroTrax™ Solid Reactive. Making this ball dazzle on those Heavier Oil Conditions.

DEFIANT LRG CORE
With recent more in-depth studies of flare migration and core tendencies we circled the wagons back to the Defiant Series of bowling balls which featured a core ahead of its time regarding flare migration in order to create a longer constant motion. Upon further review and testing, we found that by altering the composite of this core shape, we were able to create the fastest revving, strongest continuing, lowest RG asymmetrical core we have ever offered in the history of ever now known as the DEFIANT™ LRG CORE.

MICROTRAX™ COVERSTOCK
The MicroTrax (Micro Nanoparticle Traction) Coverstock offers the optimum balance of midlane traction and responsiveness to friction thanks the blend of nanoparticles throughout the coverstock. This formulation maintains its surface profile texture longer to ensure you get maximum performance while displacing oil at an above average rate compared to other coverstock materials on the market today.

Storm Phaze 2 Bowling Ball

“Phaze 2 is amazing, one of the strongest and most versatile balls I have ever thrown.” – Mike LeViner – BowlersMart Charlotte

The new Phaze II features both innovative core and coverstock technology, proving again that Storm is the leader in bowling innovation. Advancements in the core shape are easily seen with the naked eye. This fast-revving shape, the aptly-named, supercharged Velocity Core helps you crush pin after pin as it produces more ball motion than any other shape in our Master Line. It smooths out the backend reaction without over-reacting and avoids creating an undesirable last-second movement.

TX-16 (Traction-X 2016) is what emerges from countless hours in R&D to develop the finest coverstocks on the planet. This solid reactive blend leaves an incredible footprint on the lane. The marriage between the core and the cover produces the strongest motion of any symmetrical Storm ball to date.
