First Impressions
The Storm Code Green stands out as an international release in an extremely bright Green Pearl look. Inside works the massive asymmetric RAD4 core, which is defined by a 2.500 RG, a huge 0.058 differential and a strong 0.020 intermediate differential. For the cover, Storm relies on the R2S Pearl Reactive coverstock, polished to a high gloss out of the box. These specs should make the ball get down the lane extremely late and skid safely through the heads on dry lanes. The cover and the core provide the perfect mix of maximum asymmetry and a brutal snap on the backend.
Comparison
In a direct comparison with the Storm Code Black, the Code Green shows absolutely identical ball motion through the heads, but delivers a slightly more angular reaction at the breakpoint thanks to cover fine-tuning. Compared to the Storm Snap Lock, the Code Green offers a comparably massive but later hook due to its strong differential. When transition changes the lane and dry spots appear, the smooth surface keeps the ball from losing energy at the breakpoint. It snaps hard and huge.
On the Lanes
The Storm Code Green is most at home on dried-up and medium lane conditions. It's an excellent option if you're looking for a clean and hugely angular ball motion when the lanes are heavily played. The asymmetric core creates a massive angle at the breakpoint, which builds confidence when playing deep lines. The ball should secure carry through its late entry into the pocket. On very fresh patterns, however, it can sometimes slide through.
