Description

With nearly 25 years of experience manufacturing high performance balls, Storm is The Bowler’s Company™. In fact, no company today has been making reactive bowling balls longer than Storm. And throughout the years, we have learned a lot. We know what you are looking for since we are bowlers, too, just like you. But know that we are continuously striving to develop new products which will help you roll more strikes and have more fun!

The new Rocket Ship™ is encased with R2S™ Solid Reactive material but is a unique ball with a surface prep that is the first of its kind: 3000-grit Sheen. It undergoes the same process as a 1500-grit polished ball, but we added a final step by quickly and lightly hitting it with a 3000-grit Abralon® pad, the industry standard. This smooths out the surface topography of the ball by lightly breaking up the polish that was applied creating a sanded profile with a smooth sheen appearance. Always with the bowler in mind, we developed this process to ensure an even, controllable, forgiving reaction for whomever rolls it. The Booster™ Core was the perfect option for this new method of surface development due to its mid-range RG and moderate differential values. It will provide a long, smoother option if the Sky Rocket™ were to be too angular. No one does a better job than Storm at filling in the gaps. That is our commitment to our bowlers, and that is why we are The Bowler’s Company™.

Rocket Ship review by Tommy Gollick

The Rocket Ship is the third ball released with the Booster Core in the Thunder Line of bowling balls. The Booster core has an RG of 2.54 and a differential of 0.046 in 15lb balls. Two things separate the Rocket Ship from the Rocket and Sky Rocket, a solid R2S coverstock and a new factory finish of 3000 grit sheen. This finish is polished and then brought back to "scuffed" with a 3000 grit pad. The Rocket Ship has a two-tone purple color combination, with a butter pecan scent. I drilled two different Rocket Ships. The first one is a 4 x 4 x 2 ?? with a P2 balance hole, and the second one is a 4 x 5 x 2 ?? (same layout as the Fight I drilled and reviewed earlier this year), no extra hole. I used Storm step #1 on the second ball. The first Rocket Ship reads the midlane stronger and is sharper at the breakpoint than the second Rocket Ship. The second Rocket Ship without the extra hole is a true benchmark ball. The sharper breakpoint of the first Rocket Ship is still smoother overall, compared to my Rocket and Snap Lock and Fight. I can use the second Rocket Ship on sport and challenge patterns, and it does not overreact to the flatter lane condition. The first Rocket Ship needs some hold area, or some bounce area, as the stronger backend motion isn't as suitable on flatter patterns, until they break down, and the pattern develops some miss area. I really like this new ball, and it will be a great fit in my arsenal. This is a completely different motion than the Fight, but covers about the same amount of boards, for me. Thank you for taking the time to read my Review of the Rocket Ship. As always, Bowl up a Storm!

Rocket Ship review by Storm Staffer Matthew Kemper

The Storm Rocket Ship is Storms newest release in the Thunder Line. The Rocket Ship is covered with the popular R2S coverstock and is finished with the never been used 3000 grit Sheen finish. The core again is the Booster Core which is also found in the Rocket and the Sky Rocket. I drilled my Rocketship with a 45x5x30 layout. I wanted a strong mid lane reaction with good pop on the backend. This ball did not disappoint. The cover handles heavier volumes of oil with ease and the overall reaction is smooth and controlled compared to an Alpha Crux or Lock. The Rocket Ship is a great compliment to the Rocket because it's a few boards stronger and handles heavier oil better but still maintains the smooth overall shape that the Rocket has. I recommend this ball for medium to medium heavy oil patterns. This ball is great for heavier volume house shots as well as medium sport patterns. This ball is very versatile and with the right layout you can make this ball do and handle what you want it to do.
