Storm Level: Future of Bowling? Thane vs Level

[@TajirisBallReviews]

Comment if you think this will be better than the 🟣

[@xxGlitterGunz]

THANK YOU STORM for making a reactive ball that fits a pinch above urethane! I think we will see this rock on tour constantly, especially for the higher rev players. Will definitely fit right below my Physix Blackout. definitely buying 2 of these

[@monicatajiri750]

Definitely going to be my next ball! ✅

Seeing Pro Motion shape. Used my Pro Motion in the spot this ball is designed for. Wish the Pro had fast oil absorption like this!

[@Memo-nz5un]

I love the ball reaction it’s so smooth off the spot 😮

[@marcx9176]

Seems like a niche ball. Will be interesting to see where Storm goes with this new Lab line.

[@joshuab1707]

I think this is exactly what I've been looking for. I've been looking to try to find a good ball to fit between my Pitch Black and Hustle RIP/Hyped Pearl. When i don't want a snappy backend, but also need to avoid the early hook. This seems like it will fit perfectly.

[@TajirisBallReviews]

Sounds like this it the perfect fit for you

[@calebgilmore3327]

So we should call it microcell polymer or a nu hammer storm equivalent?

[@nordattack]

I was a little confused on how you were playing the short pattern. Normally on something like this I expect players to get way right and play direct up the 3/4 board with a low grit early urethane ball and a up the back delivery. They get that ball to hook early and set and then roll with perfect control to the pocket. Opening angles up with a urethane ball on a short pattern is not recommended and kind of was an unfair test of the IQ78 and Pitch Black. The "Level" is obviously another attempt by Storm to create a "urethane like" ball and we know how all their past experiments with that idea have turned out. So if the "Level" is too reactive to play in a urethane zone and too weak to play in traditional resin zones, what is its purpose?

Looks like Storms attempt at a Motiv Tank. At the end of the day. I'd still rather have a Purple or a Black Hammer.

[@gorillafsoccer]

any surface change on the 78u? that thing PICKED UP lol

[@TajirisBallReviews]

78U I threw it at 1000 grit same finish as I had on the Level

[@TrandafirRuby]

I will be really upset if it's worse with surface than the mcp from motiv. Had to hit it with 500 every 3 games cuz it was only good for maybe a game and a half before it went 60ft

[@redcat5697]

Stay away from motive then lol 😮

[@TraumaER]

SPI needs to focus on balls like the Phaze 2 and stop trying to compete with the Purple One. As far as the Level, looks like it hooks just a little more at the end than Pitch Black that will eliminate some flat 10s. However, seems overpriced if that is all it does.

[@TajirisBallReviews]

I agree. Storm Is missing that Newer version of balls like a Phaze 2. I'm sure there's something in the pipeline coming in the future this year would be my guess..

[@RysterARCEE]

Seems to be a direct competitor to the NU balls by Brunswick. Not really sure this is needed for league bowlers. It's more a niche tournament arsenal piece...and an expensive one at that.
