![]() ![]() The excellent finishing of the ball makes it ideal for achieving great performance. You can even use it as a spare ball if you want. It is not just a good looking ball, but it also performs well on the lanes.Ĭertainly, the ball is perfect for striking a straight shot. If you go in understanding this is a prototypical Storm shiny asym, you can’t go wrong.If you are new to the bowling game and looking for the best bowling ball for beginners, you can start rolling with Brunswick Tzone Deep Space. Or at least pushed down potentially into the mid late category. That ball had a weaker cover which made it cleaner and more angular and at the same time less usable for me in my arsenal. I think this is where I like stronger shiny asym reactions to be as compared to say an AstroPhysix. I think that touch of smoothness will make it pretty versatile. Clean with strong downlane shape, if not absolutely sharp. Would have to play around with it a bit.įor me, the Parallax as is basically fits in the mid defined category. It might make sense to be a little more aggressive with surface changes but sometimes that changes downlane shape too much. Test out around 7 to 5 and it doesn’t make it to the headpin. Small variations of 10 to 8.5 vs 10 to 9 made a difference in downlane reaction. It’s partially the pattern and partially the ball and it’s finish. You can see some area checks and it’s fairly sensitive. He had to be in a fairly specific slot to get the shape and reaction he wants. Ultimately, Bryan had a decent reaction but didn’t feel like he had lots of room. Sport shots will spread the balls farther apart but just something to ponder as you think about building your arsenal. ![]() Are they different enough for Bryan to have both in the arsenal? Maybe. For example, is the Parallax and Trend different, yes. Again, there are nuances but if everything “shiny” Storm plays almost identically, he needs to create variation with surface or just pick his favorite reaction. What winds up happening is a fair bit of overlap in ball reactions for Bryan’s style. It has an angular tip downlane relatively speaking. It gets downlane very easily, maybe a little too easily for consistency on fresh. He had a nice little slot near the second arrow going up the boards. I would say he also saw similar reaction. ![]() Ultimately it was a reliable shape that my eye liked.īryan is back testing the Parallax. It’s maybe a touch less angular than the Nuclear Cell but there is a fair bit of overlap for my game with these two balls. The ball is angular as you expect from Storm but also readable. That 1-2 feet earlier read made a huge difference in consistency. Has a clean shape and gets downlane easily but now the core transition matches better the bite of the cover so it’s not so far past the breakpoint. You can see what a difference it made in terms of breakpoint consistency after the scuff. So about 10 shots before and 10 shots after. But what buys me a little more consistency is scuffing a touch with an old 2000 abralon pad so I can’t see my reflection like a mirror. You can see the shape, same as the Nuclear Cell. Out of the box, it is a little finicky for me with the good ole’ 1500 polished finish. Watch the ball reaction and adjust the surface to find a spot for the ball. It just shows you that it doesn’t really matter solid, hybrid, pearl. It’s a strong hybrid cover and it’s certainly possible if you put as much surface as the Omega Crux, it would overlap into the Strong Defined category. That’s also where the Storm Parallax fits. I liked the Nuclear Cell Reaction and slotted in the Mid Defined Category. Sure there are nuances but being a shiny asym, it had very similar characteristics. What do we have with the Parallax? The quick hit on it was it feels quite similar to the Roto Grip Nuclear Cell. The Storm Parallax uses the Aeroflo™ Core (Asymmetrical) core inside the Traction X7™ hybrid coverstock.ġ5 pound = RG of 2.52, diff of. Your driller will alter the shape to suit your game.” “Keep in mind that coverstock accounts for 70% of ball reaction, but the core creates the dynamic shape of the reaction.
