- Glow

First Impressions
With the Glow, Storm brings a fascinating new development to market that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Glow Core, which with a 2.56 RG and a 0.038 differential ensures a very clean motion through the front part of the lane. The pearl reactive cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The nature of the surface with a polished finish supports this characteristic massively, letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually it's a real eye-catcher and immediately conveys that this model was designed primarily for later and sharper direction changes. The technical match between core and cover is extremely harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the Glow with the Brunswick Rhino, the glaring differences in backend reaction jump out immediately. The Brunswick Rhino tends to read a bit earlier, while the Glow holds its energy a crucial fraction longer and then reacts noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. That characteristic makes it the perfect complement in the arsenal when the Rhino starts losing energy in the pocket or entering too flat. Although both balls have a similar orientation toward lighter oil patterns, the Glow offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It's the ideal solution for situations in which the Rhino no longer develops enough drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength once the lane has been played on a little and the transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction in the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which delivers maximum, explosive carry. When the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, it allows you to move systematically further inside and attack the pocket from a considerably deeper angle. It works excellently for medium to dry conditions and is an excellent choice if you're looking for a clean, quick-responding cover. With its forgiving nature on shots missed to the outside, it should keep scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
