Storm Super Nova vs Nova Bowling Ball: House & Sport Patterns

This is a comparison of the Super Nova to the Nova on both house and sport to show how they compare and complement each other!!

Storm Super Nova Bowling Ball

The Super Nova is extraordinary by design. Showcasing the new and dynamically intense Ignition Core, the Super Nova features a tour-inspired design that enables better versatility on a wider array of oil patterns. Weight blocks like the Ignition Core rev up fast and finish strong with a more aggressive movement down lane. Need some extra oomph? Then look no further. The Ignition Core pumps out more than 6” of loaded flare potential! That’s more than enough differential to amp your adrenaline levels.

Weight blocks like the Ignition Core rev up fast and finish strong with a more aggressive movement down lane. Need some extra oomph? Then look no further. The Ignition Core pumps out more than 6” of loaded flare potential! That’s more than enough differential to amp your adrenaline levels. NRG™ has become a staple in Storm’s lineup of coverstocks for nearly a decade. It’s due time for an upgrade! NeX (Nano Extreme) is Storm’s earliest reading cover to date. NeX Solid was remarkably earlier hooking than NRG on any pattern, or any surface we tested it on. Our standardized durability and longevity tests showed NeX created 11% more entry angle and 9.6% more overall hook after 50 shots compared to a fresh NRG cover. Simply put, NeX gives more midlane read than ever WITHOUT sacrificing any backend! Wow.

hello and welcome to a comparison of the

Supernova versus the Nova and the

outcome of this one is both interesting

and educational so make sure you stick

around for the whole thing we’re going

to be on a house shot and on a sport

pattern to show each Ball’s strengths

and weaknesses but also how they

complement and support each other

looking at the tech they’re obviously

both the asymmetric ignition core 249 RG

which is about as low as they get that’s

going to make the ball roll early and

rev quickly it’s got a big differential

at o52 lots of flare so gonna be getting

plenty of fresh cover exposed to the

Lane for dig and an o19 intermediate

differential which supplies a lot of

torque to help make it firmer at the

break point the big difference is in the

cover stocks as we see Illustrated on

the chart here the super is NEX solid

any X is Storm’s strongest cover of

course and then way down towards the

bottom of the middle third of cover

strengths is r2x the hybrid version of

that is of course on the Nova first up

we’ll look at the house shot for Royal

Crest Lanes in Lawrence Kansas where we

bowl our our leagues and shoot all our

videos it’s similar to Kegel’s easy

street but with heavier volume so it’s

medium difficulty for a house shot it’s

not wide open but it’s not terribly

difficult either like I did in the super

review I’m going to show the quick

comparison between them to set it up and

then we’ll talk specifics the super is

both aggressive and shapes quite a bit I

harp on this in every video but any X is

very clean and sharp for how much it

hooks most balls are going to cover

boards on a house shot so it can be hard

to tell how much they actually hook but

the key is watching where the ball

starts hooking the deeper we get the

super looks the same from straighter as

it does from Deep so it both hooks a lot

and handles angle well with the Nova the

traction difference is very obvious

longer not as much traction and not as

much shape the cover types crowd will

tell you that hybrids should be sharper

and they usually are but more responsive

balls must have the friction to move

when the necessary friction is present

generally pearls are the sharpest

hybrids are next and solids are the

smoothest but this is a good

illustration of how different cover

formulas flip the script there isn’t the

necessary friction for the Nova to

really get going or shape once we move

in a bit the super due to the stronger

cover formula gets the traction to

stabilize and transition properly

through the stages of ball motion so

that when it hits the friction it’s

ready to do something with it the Nova

never gets the traction necessary to

start moving so when it does hit

friction it then has to try to stabilize

change directions and move in a very

short amount of time and it just runs

out of Lane unless James really slows

his speed down despite his higher rev

rate he also has very high speeds so the

super is virtually a cheat code for him

on the house shot there’s really not

much to analyze here when something gets

the kind of traction he needs on the

fresh but also goes this long and shapes

this much it allows him to choose more

comfortable angles the amount of hook

doesn’t force him super deep because

it’s still longer and he doesn’t have to

a milk shape out of it because it’s

still pretty quick stronger stuff is

generally slower than this because it

starts hooking earlier so while you get

a lot of traction you don’t usually get

a lot of shape the Supernova is

obviously a triple threat length shape

and traction from all over the lane now

when we go to the Nova as a step down

from the super rather than an option on

the fresh it looks a lot better they

both still have the tumbly shape so they

they have this kind of chuggy roll butt

that doesn’t really bog or slow down it

isn’t at the same time it isn’t super

Zippy down Lane like the reality series

is for example the reality in the super

have a lot in common but the super is

more stable and controlled on the back

end and through the pocket the reality

picks up and almost cuts through the

pins the reality is a better pick when

the back ends are slow and the super is

a better pick when they’re crispy or

when they’re sharper the Nova really

manages the lane well period he just

needs more friction than we have on the

fresh for it to be in its wheelhouse

which it is now after a few games with

the Supernova it does like more closed

angles than the super in any case but

that makes it a great option for several

different situations and conditions

we’re going to stick with the Nova as we

move to the sport pattern while we’re on

the subject of Lane management our

typical sport pattern 2019 USBC Open

championships doubles and singles

pattern 42 feet which is on the long

side of medium 28.4 mils of oil which is

fairly heavy and at just over a two to

one ratio it’s very flat and challenging

on the fresh so because the Nova like

straighter angles and is great at

controlling and managing a lane it looks

really good here as long as he doesn’t

Chuck it outside five there’s enough

friction for it to play on the fresh the

house shot was lower volume overall but

the majority of the oil on a house shot

is in the middle of the lane with sport

patterns being flatter the oils spread

out a lot more so while the overall

volume is higher a lot more is closer to

the gutter and there’s less of it in the

middle as long as he doesn’t try to

shape it too much he’s gonna have plenty

of friction towards the middle part of

the lane to work with however because of

the medium strength cover it takes a lot

less oil to get the ball down the lane

so he can actually play Closer to the

head pin or he can cut his angles down

he doesn’t have to give it a lot of room

to get it down the lane so he can

actually execute a nice normal shot and

get a lot of control it still doesn’t

want to get left though it’s not a ball

that likes to cover a lot of boards

regardless of the situation or

conditions you can make it cover boards

if you want to but it’s not something it

naturally wants to do onto the super and

I think this this is where the surprise

is at the Box surface of 2000 we did

film the regular review on the house

pattern before this so we reset the

surface before filming on the sport

pattern so it is starting at 2000 and

not whatever was left over from earlier

filming with the super being both

stronger and more Dynamic than the

original Nova it almost presents the

same same problem he had with the rstx3

the core strength here matches what the

cover wants to do better so it’s not as

up and down as it was with the X3 but

the look with the super is actually

worse on the sport pattern than the look

with the Nova it’s strong and sharp

enough that misses in just want to take

off but the amount of room he has to

give it to the right to get it down the

lane versus the amount of recovery he

actually has to the right is a very very

fine Edge traction on tougher stuff is

definitely important but not when

there’s also this much shape with it

this is a perfect illustration of that

because while the Nova isn’t quite

enough traction it’s definitely the

right amount of control the super is a

better level of traction but obviously

doesn’t have the same level of control

keep in mind though that this is for

James for someone with more speed and a

lower rev rate the Nova just isn’t going

to do much on this this kind of volume

and Link so you’ll need both action and

the response of the Supernova however I

think obviously if you have a higher rev

rate you need control more than traction

and shape so the Nova might be the

better choice this was a very

interesting look at these two balls they

really do work well together and

complement each other so if you have one

or the other and we’re worried about

overlap I think there’s obviously no

concern there once again thanks to my

outstanding patreon members and Discord

Community thank you for watching and may

the strikes be with you
