- Flash Point

First Impressions
With the Flash Point, Storm brings a fascinating new development to the market that impresses above all with its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Flash Core, which with a 2.54 RG and a 0.042 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 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 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 is exceptionally harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the Flash Point with the Storm Tropical Surge, the glaring differences in backend reaction stand out immediately. The Storm Tropical Surge tends to read somewhat earlier, while the Flash Point holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts far more aggressively to the dry area. That characteristic makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Tropical Surge starts losing energy in the pocket or entering too flat. Although both balls have a similar orientation toward lighter oil patterns, the Flash Point offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is the ideal solution for situations in which the Tropical Surge 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 broken in a bit and transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction in the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which produces maximum, explosive carry. As the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, the ball allows you to move systematically further inside and attack the pocket from a much deeper angle. It is very well suited to medium to dry conditions and an excellent choice if you are looking for a clean, responsive cover. Thanks to 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.
