- Fire Side

First Impressions
With the Fire Side, Storm brings a fascinating new development to market that impresses above all with its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Symmetric core, which with a 2.52 RG and a 0.048 differential ensures very clean motion through the front sections of the lane. The pearl reactive cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The character of the surface with a polished finish supports this quality massively, letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually the ball is 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 has been achieved here in an extremely harmonious and purposeful way.
Comparison
Comparing the Fire Side with the Brunswick Rhino, the striking differences in backend reaction stand out immediately. The Brunswick Rhino tends to read somewhat earlier, while the Fire Side holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then responds noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. That quality makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Rhino starts losing energy in the pocket or entering too flat. Although both balls are aimed at lighter oil patterns, the Fire Side offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is 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 when the lane has already been played in a bit 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. As the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, the ball lets you systematically move further inside and attack the pocket from a much deeper angle. It is excellently suited to medium to dry conditions and is an excellent choice if you are looking for a clean, responsive surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on misses out to the outside, it should keep your scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
