Got my hands on a Storm Spectre and we put these ball to the test.
Storm Revenant Bowling Ball
There is a certain level of expectation that comes with drilling up a new Storm bowling ball. You expect it to have rich, vibrant colors and a pleasant fragrance. You expect it to ignore the heads which often gets worn and dry, especially late in the day. You expect it to turn the corner and charge aggressively through the pocket. You expect it to carry the corner pins, and everything else for that matter. But if you think your expectations are high, you should see ours. Know that each Storm bowling ball is a result from decades of smart design and continuous innovation. From the moment you drill up a Storm ball, you are sure to feel the power inside.
It’s risen. R3S Pearl is together anew with the Vector Core, but with a fresh veneer and more reaction where it matters most: at the pins. Reacta Gloss is cutting-edge when it comes to surfaces. Using an all-new polishing agent, Reacta Gloss maintains its profile longer and more consistently than any previous Storm polished finish before it. Go ahead. Grip it. You’ll immediately feel a difference to the touch. The Vector Core has some extra post-drilled asymmetry built into it if the driller chooses to use it, a feature unique to this design of symmetric core. The mid-range RG should appeal to those who are fans of the ever-popular Hy-Road™ and Trend™ series but crave something in between.
The cutting-edge Vector Core
The cutting-edge Vector Core was designed to be used by the most scrutinous competitor. The mid-range RG should appeal to those who are fans of the ever-popular Hy-Road™ and Trend™ series but crave something in between. With roots tracing back to the Incite™, there’s extra post-drilled asymmetry built into the Vector Core if the driller chooses to use it, a feature unique to this design of symmetric core. If you don’t use a thumb, be sure to utilize the all-new and innovative 2LS™ system for no-thumb players to layout their new ball.
The development of the next installment of the Thunder™ Line franchise was always going to be a tricky balance – long-awaited fan fulfillment versus something genuinely fresh.

The 1500-grit polished R3S coverstock gives you the control needed to attack each shot with confidence, knowing that you’re going to get just enough skid to push through the front part of the lane cleanly without sacrificing the traction needed to control the midlane and break point. Oh, and let’s not forget about the icing on the cake – candy cane cookie – the fragrance that makes the Spectre smell as good as it looks and rolls!
