- Marvel Maxx Attack

First Impressions
The Storm Marvel Maxx Attack is a visual highlight in red, black and white, carrying on the eye-catching looks of the successful Marvel series. Technically, the ball is built on a 1500-grit polished NRG Hybrid coverstock that provides enough skid through the heads without sacrificing the traction needed for midlane control and the breakpoint. The proven Centripetal Core, with its extremely low center of gravity and cascading channels, provides stability and forgiveness, allows midlane control and delivers a smooth but powerful change of direction. As a special detail, the ball gives off a Red Velvet Cake scent.
Comparison
Storm positions the Marvel Maxx Attack as a combination of the best traits of the Super SonIQ and the Marvel Pearl — the Super SonIQ offers a stable presence in oil, while the Marvel Pearl showed good midlane control with enough backend for continuous strikes. The NRG Hybrid cover is meant to take a middle position between the more aggressive NeX versions of the Impact variants and the more controlled Pearl versions. Compared to the Storm Marvel Maxx Impact with its NeX solid cover, which is considered Storm's earliest-reading surface and picks up earlier than NRG on any lane surface, the Attack should offer a more moderate approach. The hybrid formulation of the NRG cover promises more length than solid versions with a more controlled backend than pure pearl versions.
On the Lanes
The Marvel Maxx Attack is aimed at bowlers looking for confidence on challenging lane conditions who want to attack every oil pattern aggressively. The Centripetal Core makes the ball suitable for various player types and lane conditions, and the low center of gravity is particularly accommodating if you have a low, stable rev rate. The 1500-grit polished surface positions the ball ideally for medium oil volumes, where it combines clean passage through the heads with a controlled midlane reaction. The NRG Hybrid cover should provide enough skid for clean passage through the heads without sacrificing the traction for midlane control and the breakpoint. For tournament bowlers it offers a reliable option between the more aggressive Impact models and the controlled Pearl variants of the Marvel Maxx series, ideal for the transition when stronger balls become too much, or as a first choice on medium lane conditions.
