- PhysiX Power Elite Pro Model

First Impressions
The Storm PhysiX Power Elite Pro Model presents itself as the latest development in the PhysiX series, featuring a new NRG cover. At its heart sits the Atomic core with a low 2.48 RG and an impressive 0.053 differential in 15 pound balls. The refined NRG cover blend with new filler materials is meant to reduce unnecessary friction in the heads and produce a smoother roll. The visual design follows the proven PhysiX aesthetic, while the sculpted Oval Bolt at the center of the Atomic core further reinforces the performance characteristics. The ball should require less energy at the release, since the Atomic core offers less resistance to changes of direction than high RG designs. Comparison
The PhysiX Power Elite Pro Model joins the popular PhysiX family, in which the original PhysiX offers one of the most pronounced reactions and the Storm AstroPhysiX follows with outstanding performance once the pattern opens up. Compared to the Storm PhysiX Power Elite, there are differences in surface preparation and core configuration. The standard PhysiX ran cleaner through the heads than the Storm Sure Lock with its strong midlane reaction, but offered less angle than the Storm Code X while providing more traction through the oil. Users describe the PhysiX as a mix of the Storm Sure Lock in the front part of the lane and stronger than the Storm Code X on the backend. The Pro Model version is meant to combine these proven traits with the refined NRG technology. On the Lanes
The ball is said to be usable across a broad range of conditions and is marketed as the ultimate Storm ball for a variety of situations. The heavy Atomic core should keep the ball rolling consistently toward the pins and turn it powerfully into the pocket off the hook point. Based on the technical specifications, the ball is particularly suited to bowlers playing medium to heavier oil volumes. Tweeners and strokers found good reaction to the pocket on medium patterns, since the duller surface cut through the midlane oil easily. Power players sometimes needed surface adjustments, as the dull factory finish could lead to an early hook and a lack of backend continuation. The ball is aimed at advanced bowlers who want to combine precise control with powerful pin action.
