- Reign On

First Impressions
The Reign On from Storm is an absolute prime example of control and perfect readability on the lane. Powered by the proven C.A.M. core, this ball offers very balanced and harmonious core dynamics with a 2.53 RG and a 0.046 differential. Combined with the precisely tuned R2S Hybrid cover, the result is a surface that interacts with the oil in an extremely predictable and consistent manner. The 4000-grit pad finish purposefully ensures that the ball picks up friction early and safely controls the midlane without ever appearing unpredictable. Even the outward appearance conveys great stability and reliability, qualities that carry over seamlessly into the actual roll through the heads. The overall construction is designed to give the bowler clear feedback about the condition of the lane at all times.
Comparison
Looking at the Reign On directly against the Storm Hy-Road, its considerably stronger emphasis on control and predictability becomes very clear. The Storm Hy-Road does offer a somewhat more angular move off the backend, but it can react too sensitively or overreact on difficult oil patterns. This is exactly where the Reign On scores, with its steady, smooth and continuous arc toward the pins. Where the Hy-Road tends to miss the breakpoint, the Reign On provides the traction needed in the pocket to stay safely on course. It closes the gap between extremely strong balls and weaker models absolutely ideally. For bowlers who like the Hy-Road but are looking for a calmer, safer option, this is the logical choice.
On the Lanes
On the lane this ball proves to be the perfect companion for medium to heavy oil patterns, especially on typical house shots or demanding sport patterns. It lets you get through the boards safely and develops a strong but wonderfully round hook that leads straight into the pocket. The smooth reaction to the friction on the backend delivers outstanding carry, since the ball transfers a great deal of energy into the pins instead of wasting it prematurely through an overly hard change of direction. Once transition sets in, the ball can still be used very effectively with small adjustments to your line before a ball change becomes necessary. It is a true benchmark for anyone who wants to build their game methodically, and it should deliver consistently high scores.
