Storm bowling balls

Storm bowling ballsStorm bowling balls are viewed by many as one of the most progressive bowling ball makers around. Because the company is constantly redefining what a bowling ball is, there are some terms associated with these balls that some may be unaware of.

In an effort to better understand the technologies that are going into Storm bowling balls, this mini-glossary has been included for your use.

Accu-Tread

Accu-Tread is Storm bowling balls war-proven coverstock that was introduced in the late 1990s. By many accounts, it set the standard for the coverstocks used by most serious bowlers today.

Cadmium

Cadmium is an extension of Accu-Tread. Cadmium is a base coverstock material plus an exclusive particle. Cadmium helps Storm bowling balls gain more traction as they fly down the lane.

EOX Technology

Because Storm bowling balls are seen as some of the most progressive balls on the market, the company is constantly trying to create a better bowling ball. EOX Technology represents the company’s newest attempt at perfection. This technology produces more early friction so that by the time the ball gets to mid-lane, it will roll better. This works especially well on heavily oiled lane conditions.

Monsoon

Monsoon is a very aggressive reactive coverstock. This coverstock, which is found on Storm bowling balls, is soft and allows a wide footprint between the ball and the lane. On drier back ends, this ball gives the bowler the best traction.

Reactive Urethane

Reactive Urethane Storm bowling balls are blended with a number of different additives. This coverstock adheres very well to the lane and thus creates a lot of backend action. It also features the least amount of deflection and the hardest hitting power of any coverstock manufactured today.

Learning and understanding these terms that relate to Storm bowling balls will help you when you choose what kind of ball you need for a number of different lane conditions. The ball for you most likely exists, but you have to know the terms to be able to find it.
