- Striking Out Breast Cancer Clear Poly

First Impressions
The Storm Striking Out Breast Cancer Clear Poly presents itself as a transparent polyester ball with pink accents and was first released in a limited run in spring 2021. The Clear Polyester cover is paired with the proven Hex Core, which carries a 2.66 RG and a minimal 0.018 differential. The surface comes from the factory at a 3500-grit polish, which provides maximum predictability and minimal friction. The clear base color with its signature pink elements makes this ball a visual highlight that serves an important purpose at the same time — proceeds from every sale go to the X Out Breast Cancer Foundation in support of cancer research.
Comparison
Compared to other spare balls such as the Columbia 300 White Dot or the Brunswick Target Zone, the Storm Striking Out Breast Cancer Clear Poly shows the characteristics typical of polyester balls. The Clear Poly cover and the Hex Core should deliver increased predictability no matter who throws it, serving beginners and pros alike as a reliable spare converter. While other polyester balls often rely on a traditional 3-piece core, the Hex Core offers additional dynamics compared to a conventional 3-piece core while maintaining an even, predictable motion. Against reactive balls like the Storm Phaze II the difference is clearly noticeable — where reactive covers respond to oil and develop hook, this polyester ball stays consistently straight.
On the Lanes
This ball is the perfect choice for situations that call for a straight shot, and it should help you avoid the complications of hooking on spare attempts under difficult lane conditions. It is ideal for recreational bowlers learning the game as well as for experienced bowlers who need a consistent spare ball. The low-friction properties of the polyester cover make it the first choice on split conversions and corner-pin situations, where precision matters more than hook potential. Combined with the durable polyester cover, the Clear Poly should provide the control, durability and confidence bowlers expect from Storm. The advantage of the straight ball motion shows up especially on heavily used or unpredictable lane conditions — the ball takes the oil out of play and allows consistent, predictable results regardless of the current lane conditions.
