First Impressions
The Storm Pink Clear Poly comes in a striking transparent pink design that stands out thanks to its clear polyester shell. Inside works a traditional symmetric 3-piece pancake core, characterized by an extremely high RG and a minimal differential close to zero. The coverstock is pure, hard polyester/plastic, polished to a high gloss. These specs mark the ball as an absolute specialist for spares. The combination of hard plastic and weak core should make the ball pass through the heads and midlane completely without reaction.
Comparison
Compared to typical reactive benchmark balls such as the Storm Phaze II, the Clear Poly has practically no hook at all. Against a urethane ball like the Pitch Black, the Clear Poly offers far less traction still and completely ignores any kind of friction on the lane. When the lane transition is well advanced, this ball remains entirely unaffected and consistently delivers its dead-straight path. It is not designed for strikes or steep angles.
On the Lanes
The Storm Pink Clear Poly performs at its best as a spare ball for all spares, or on extremely dried-up lane conditions where any reactive ball would overreact drastically. Because it doesn't read the lane, it gives you the option of playing an uncompromising straight line across the boards without the ball wandering off the targeted pins. Carry is completely secondary with this ball. That makes it an absolute must-have tool in the bag for precise spare shots in any situation.
