[@brackend1936]

Been waiting on this video! Yes, please do a comparison!

[@LuisNapoles]

Will do!!

[@steveg7018]

I picked mine up on Thursday. I really like the clean look and the movement off the friction. Fits perfectly in the bag for transition. I laid it out: 4 1/2 x 4 x 4 1/8. Thanks for your take Luis!

[@LuisNapoles]

Thats awesome to hear!

[@larrylacroix3944]

Enjoyed it. Storm rep at my house was sorta impressed with it also first night last week in league. It tour would be a good comparison ball. As always enjoy

[@LuisNapoles]

Sounds great! Thanks!

[@thadrand2875]

Just picked one up and can’t wait to throw it!!

[@LuisNapoles]

Nice! I hope you love it!

[@traviskirk3834]

My dad had the of yellow back when it came out and he bought the new one and i told him look at the spec solid on the sun storm and look at the gravity evolve same cover . I even told him i love how the sum storm has the vintage storm s on it.

[@LuisNapoles]

Yea I’m loving that ball

[@jkirkerx]

I bought one. Just a sucker for the core and cover. I figured it would be so smooth and boring, perfect for the no brainer sweeps in Vegas. Thanks for the preview!

[@LuisNapoles]

It def is! I hope you love yours though!

[@jkirkerx]

@@LuisNapoles I won't really have a chance to drill it up for awhile, got too many end of year things to do. But your video made me feel like I drilled it and rolled it down the lanes. Mine isn't as nice as yours, the red stuff over the etchings is terrible. And I still don't know how much it is, was afraid to ask. I'll have to compare mine to my Pro Motion, sitting on a new one as well. I'm funding you on Patreon for 2023, and I might double the amount for everyone.

[@SkittlzYT]

Great video, I feel that it would be a really good ball for playing straighter on the fresh

[@LuisNapoles]

Agreed 100% with that

[@thomasworrilow4228]

I'm a lefty, and for the 500 games I threw it before it started to feel a little lazy, my pro motion was my favorite benchmark ball ever I think. The motion never really changed no matter what you were bowling on, just front to back where it started up. I have a sun storm sitting at the proshop waiting to be drilled and can't wait.

[@LuisNapoles]

I LOVED the pro motion! I really wanna get a new one

[@kobek5272]

As a lefty looking to get my first ball, any recommendations?

[@thomasworrilow4228]

@kobek5272 I would say a hustle USA, or if you want to go a little higher in price an original IQ tour solid. But for a beginner I would say the hustle.

[@TarzanSpeedruns]

Also a lefty in the collegiate bowling space, I’m hoping this ball will be as good as I hope. This might be another ball to put 1000 or 500 on just to get any smooth reaction from it on a sport condition

[@waynecooper7147]

Very smooth. I could use a ball like that on the left side. Well played with the pineapple jersey lol

[@LuisNapoles]

Glad you liked it LOL

[@zjellsey24]

This video talked me into putting holes in a yellow. Thanks.

[@LuisNapoles]

Glad I could help!! Hope you love it!

[@KennyGrinols]

You forgot the Gravity Evolve, but most people want to forget that release. I have over 200 games on my Crux Prime, I absolutely love that ball. SPEC in my opinion was Storms first iteration of "Tour-ethane". Spec loves straighter angles, parallel to the lane. It doesn't jump, snap, or overreact. It's extremely smooth and just does its thing almost no matter what's on the lane. It's a master of control. It might not always have the best carry, but it will keep you in the pocket the entire game and you'll always know exactly what it's going to do, once you get used to it. That cover is really special, but today's league bowlers want to see balls check mark down lane, so SPEC is a hard sell. They need to market it as a urethane \ reactive blend do people have the right perspective going in.

[@altonrobinson8402]

I still have my Gravity Evolve!

[@jaywhey8822]

The only ball I have ever bought more than one of was the Pro-Motion, and it was because of SPEC. I wish they would put it on more balls, and not limit it to 'Limited Edition' runs.

[@BigJim5754]

I love dumping up 10 arrow straightish. My local "pro" said the spec wasn't liked much, I never tried 1. Your desrciption sounds like I'd love the spec. Super Nova 1st game crushes for me most nights. Considering a Marvel Maxx Tour (NEX hybrid) as my 1st symm ball out the bag since theres no strong core spec balls out right now. The Sun looks so close to my iQ nano Pearl.

[@LuisNapoles]

Ahh yes the gravity! I was thinking I forgot one

[@andrewforrest3]

I got my hands on one and it reminds me of my promotion with how smooth it was

[@LuisNapoles]

yea a weaker Pro Motion!

[@johnyarbrough9280]

Thank you for making this amazing video from you friend

[@LuisNapoles]

Thanks!

[@nunyabisness4300]

Wanted one till I saw the price tag. I also really enjoy watching multi color bowling balls go down the lane, I can ID ball motion much better.

[@LuisNapoles]

Yea I hear that! I prefer the solid looking balls

[@zackwagner9665]

It’s the Spec cover that makes it so good

[@michaelmonkii679]

I bought one and it is perfect for me. Outside or inside it reads great for my game. I have another waiting for me to pick up.

[@LuisNapoles]

It’s a good one for sure!

[@BigJim5754]

Most nights I love my Super Nova on the fresh and then drop to iQ NanoPearl or iQ emerald (speed dom, up 10 dumper). When the S.Nova is to much and I start w the Phaze2 or iQ NP on the fresh but I think I need more cover strength (iQ NP at 2000). The sun looks so similar to the nano pearl. Might have to pull the trigger on my 1st overseas, the Marvel Maxx Tour w NEX hybrid caught my eye. Or just save money and hop on the Cosmos lol. Can't wait for the comparison vids!

[@LuisNapoles]

nano pearl will be way quicker than the sun storm

[@LionBowler17]

​I could see this being a good benchmark ball for those who like to play straighter and find the Phaze 2 to be too much.

[@LuisNapoles]

I would agree with that1

[@BassRacerx]

Yellow is my favorite color. I wish they produced more of these balls.

[@LuisNapoles]

I am hearing they were extremely limited in materials to make the cover

[@TheOGDerk]

I’d love to see a comparison between the Sun Storm and IQ Tour

[@LuisNapoles]

Coming soon forsure!

[@72kbobert]

I ordered one, and it will be here on Friday! I'm not sure how I'm going to punch it up, and I may sit on it for awhile. I'm still loving my Night Road and my new SWAG Joker Maniac. This might be a ball I punch for summer league. Or, it'll sit with my !Q Tour Pink and wait for a rainy day.

[@LuisNapoles]

when you need that cash flow LOL

[@airiqtibbits2387]

Awwww, I miss the game! It's been almost 5 years since I retired from the game... My last set was 836(257-290-279)... At the time it was the 2nd highest series in RedWing, MN... Working overnights makes it hard to bowl(for me)!!! I have a buddy that will keep me in mind if he needs a sub... This Sun Storm looks like a ball that would fit my game perfectly--my game a half decade ago... I enjoyed this video! Thanks for reminding me about the sport of bowling!

[@LuisNapoles]

Come back to bowling! We miss you!

[@airiqtibbits2387]

@@LuisNapoles We'll see... Thursday will be 5 years since I last bowled. I'm going to run down to Bierstube Bowl to visit the guys... I'll bring my equipment just in case someone needs a sub...

[@dansciglimpaglia6102]

Just if you want to for content compare to an iQ Tour and a Pro Motion.. I think the with the 2K finished it will be very similar to the Pro Motion but the iQ will be quicker and a little bit more forgiving on the House shot.

[@LuisNapoles]

yea I am gonna do it

[@photobombchamp]

I managed to get one but it wasn't right for the shot they had out on my league on Sunday, hopefully get to throw it Wednesday and might hit it w 2000

[@LuisNapoles]

YEa I dont LOVE it with the OOB finish

[@TheBPHero]

Comparison video would definitely be cool!

Need a IQ Tour and SunStorm comparison. Same layout and finish

[@LuisNapoles]

Will do!

[@infospot4119]

👍🎳

[@dabolts2185]

Spot on. The IQ tour is cleaner and quicker from what it looks like. Cool ball, but the tour is the goat in my book. Hard to beat it.

[@LuisNapoles]

nothing is beating an !Q tour any time soon LOL

[@entropicdoom8018]

Not thrilled about the lack of torque on this ball but I bet this ball would make you look good on a sport shot. Another thought is to try this on game 4 in your league Luis.

[@PatientBoat]

A guy in my sport shot league was throwing this on a shorter pattern last night, looked good.

[@AyoMrB]

Would make a good ball for rev dominant players learning 2H!

[@LuisNapoles]

im thinking this is gonna be MONEY on the higher friction shots

[@joehoenig7596]

@@LuisNapoles So while the comparison to the IQTOUR vid is one I'm eagerly looking forward to, with all the comments about the Sun Storm looking urethane-like, in terms of shape, while I don't completely agree, could you add the Zen U to that comparison vid, please?

[@caseymaxted6279]

Got mine and shot 300 game 3 with it! Had to hit mine with a 1000 in practice because I thought it was just too clean.

[@LuisNapoles]

WAY to clean at 4k fast IMO

[@slydewayz84]

Lord Field has a ball called the Blizzard Frozen. This ball reminds me a lot of that. Reactive ball, that has urethane performance. And remember, this is a remake of an older piece, so it's going to manipulate the look of a ball from that era of the game. This will probably be good for down and in, up 10 style bowlers. Or someone looking for that gap between urethane and reactive.

[@LuisNapoles]

It's just the name thats been brought back. This cover is substantially stronger than the OG cover

[@slapdog1833]

I got this ball because of the core, same core as the Super Soniq my favorite ball of all time. Always first ball out of the bag.

[@LuisNapoles]

Two different cores. Super son!Q is 2.47 .047 and the sunstorm is 2.49 .029

[@slapdog1833]

When I said core I misspoke and meant the weight block.

[@J002]

Honestly I would like to see that. I have multiple tours and very curious about it. Side note, what was the item you put on the sanding pad and does it help? I normally clean and do a wet sand

[@LuisNapoles]

thats just a cleaner to make the pad wet

[@GorillaGlueEnthusiast]

I'm guessing you can't be caught dead with a motive ball anymore but have you had the chance to throw the carbide tank yet? Another limited edition ball that looks really good!

[@crimNS]

Considering he's on staff with Global, he'll probably be throwing SPI only for a while.

[@bcw_arctic914]

He can't.... wish he could throw motiv equipment bc I'm considering ordering a motiv ball in the future

[@LuisNapoles]

I cant throw one but I am seeing great things from it

[@infospot4119]

Motiv bowling balls made In my State of Michigan. I like Sigma core in Motiv Forza & Rogue balls. 🎳🎳

[@garybryant1225]

Luis, Could you maybe do a review on discontinued balls like you did with the Marvel S. People on EBay are selling a lot of them. I bought a Hammer “Bad Ass” ball the other day and it’s a good ball for my game. I also bought. Marvel S that I need to get re-drilled. Great shows. I’m a huge fan of your channel.

[@LuisNapoles]

Yea I would LOVE to do more of that I just can't afford that with the new baby I had!

[@matzilla14]

My wife got me the Storm Sun for Christmas!

[@LuisNapoles]

Oh man thats so awesome!

[@danwaltz7527]

I can tell you the original Sunstorm felt like it was 1 pound lighter than it's true weight with it small but dense core. Moreover; the original revved up like nobody's business. I didn't use my thumb back in the day and the original Sunstorm did met me play outside up the boards with very high rev's. I don't have high hopes for this one even though I am getting one.

[@LuisNapoles]

I never had one ! I would love to try one out!

[@Xbowler900]

What board do you stand on for the sun storm for two handers

[@isaaclasekan6726]

I picked mine up last Thursday (I had to use a 500 grit Trucut pad before the motion began to make sense). So when would you recommend using it on a typical house shot?

[@LuisNapoles]

On the fresh when the backs are flying

[@timmcintyre5226]

Thanks Luis! Do you think you would keep it around 2000 for a THS or let it lane shine from here?

[@LuisNapoles]

2000 for the fresh every time!

[@tylerhernandez5207]

Come to my town. Our proshop dealers have roughly 10 sitting around. People ordered them but dropped out last second

[@LuisNapoles]

[@albatson5308]

Please do comparison with IQ tour I just purchased it about a week ago and have 5 games on it. I would like some comparison to other balls to improve my shot or know my expectations

[@LuisNapoles]

Yea I def will!

[@TWRhinoman]

the bowlersmart description has it as a reactive urethane, but the coverstock as reactive. explains the urethane like reaction

[@LuisNapoles]

Spec solid is a reactive cover stock. Not urethane you might be looking at the older sun Storm into sheet

[@TWRhinoman]

@@LuisNapoles yeah you're right. I wasn't looking at the limited edition listing.

[@joehoenig7596]

Lou--yes, please do a comparison vid of the Sun Storm and the IQTour. I love my IQ, and bought this one because well, hey, I love yellow bowling balls and when has Storm ever done a vintage re-release?! My PSO feels that the Sun Storm is close to being a yellow IQTour, but is this accurate?

[@LuisNapoles]

I will know more once I compare them but they are going to be wildly different!

[@joeanderson9267]

Yes, IQ tour and Sun Storm please! 🌞

[@LuisNapoles]

Will do!

[@hersheljones9467]

I really wish i could have afford getting one spec is my favorite cover from storm i have the crux prime pro motion and gravity evolve

[@paulkailas4526]

I'd love to see you compare the Night Road and Fate. I'm trying to decide on which one to get.

[@LuisNapoles]

The Sun Storm will fit way different roles in the arsenal than this

[@porkyen8490]

Is this ball stronger and earlier than the phaze 2¿ thinking of getting a new solid benchmark ball, choosing between sunstorm, p2, iqts, how would these 3 suit me as a rev dominant 2 hander? Thanksss

[@LuisNapoles]

It won’t be stronger than a Phaze 2 no

[@feddyvonwigglestein3481]

Spec is a very interesting formula.

[@LuisNapoles]

Yea it is!

[@dunceatron581]

Wait what side are you supposed to use for the pad? The red side or the grey side? Cause I've been using the grey

[@LuisNapoles]

grey side!

[@TheDoggieluver123]

I feel betrayed! Finally my exact favorite core, with the exact favorite cover stock combined and I can’t get one. Extremely loyal storm patron here. My gravity evolve and my IQ series balls without a doubt all that I use. Now they combined them, and I can’t find one. (At least for under $400) they’ve all been bought up to scalp. Anyone know who’s still got one for sale?

[@LuisNapoles]

I am seeing them all over Facebook groups for well under $400

[@grneyebndit]

I don't think that you can play lane 2 the same way. But it looks good with a little surface. Have you tried keeping your elbow in more??

[@LuisNapoles]

It's something I am working on.

[@brianlevandowski3167]

Compare it to the iQ nano pearl or solid if you have one.

[@LuisNapoles]

I dont =(

[@enz3008]

Hi Lou, How would you think this ball would compare to the IQ tour fusion?

[@LuisNapoles]

Substorm will be significantly earlier and smoother

[@andrewweltlich9065]

I think it's less of a stronger iQ tour and more of a baby ProMotion.

[@LuisNapoles]

yea I can agree with that!

[@efrainsantiago888]

Did South Point change the Bowling Center pattern from 41 to 43 ft.

I am all for Limited Edition releases, it gives a little bit of diversity to the sport. However, I feel it should be used to peddle the weird combinations of Core/Cover that wouldn't, from a marketing point, be well received. Putting one of the most famous Cores inside a Cover that has as been as desired as SPEC just seems like a bad move. I agree, this ball would sell thousands with how many people I personally know who are obsessed with SPEC.

[@elijones692]
