First Impressions
The Storm Domination War steps up as an international heavy hitter with its solid design. At the center works the massive asymmetric RAD+ core, equipped with a 2.490 RG, a substantial 0.047 differential and a strong intermediate differential. This core is wrapped in a high-performance solid reactive coverstock finished with a matte surface. The low RG lets the core rotate extremely quickly, which in combination with the heavy cover should make the ball grab extremely early and produce an incredibly strong, rolling motion.
Comparison
Compared directly to the classic Storm Domination Drive, which has a cleaner shell, the Domination War shows a drastically earlier and far rounder, more controlled reaction. Compared to the Storm Alpha Crux, the War behaves very similarly through the midlane, but offers a somewhat more asymmetric backend motion in oil thanks to the RAD+ core. Once the transition sets in during a block and friction increases on the outside boards, the solid surface loses energy extremely quickly.
On the Lanes
The Storm Domination War was developed specifically for use on heavily oiled lane conditions. It allows you to generate the hook needed to cross boards effectively even on extremely fresh oil. The asymmetric core should optimize carry through a steady, heavy entry angle into the pocket. For dry or dried-up conditions this ball is completely overqualified; it burns up its energy in the heads and reaches the pins only weakly.
