- Total Anarchy

First Impressions
The Storm Total Anarchy presents itself as a standout option in your arsenal for demanding conditions. Built around the Anarchy Asymmetric core, this ball delivers an extremely stable foundation for heavier oil patterns with a 2.51 RG and a 0.054 differential (intermediate differential: 0.018). The solid reactive cover provides outstanding traction in the early phase of the lane. Thanks to the factory 2000 Abralon surface, the ball reads the heads very early and develops consistent rotation through the midlane. The look is very appealing and immediately signals its focus on heavy oil and maximum control. The combination of the asymmetric design and this strong cover means this ball loses hardly any energy in the pocket and shows an impressive presence.
Comparison
Compared directly with the Roto Grip Gem, the Total Anarchy shows a noticeably smoother and more controlled reaction. Where other asymmetric models often react too aggressively to the transition, this ball maintains a consistently predictable path. The Roto Grip Gem does offer a bit more length through the first two thirds of the lane, but it lacks the sheer traction the Total Anarchy builds up in the boards. If you find the Gem too jumpy, you'll find the necessary stability and predictability here. It forgives release mistakes better than comparable strong balls, yet still keeps the power needed to clear the pins extremely effectively. It shows its undeniable strengths especially on changing lane conditions.
On the Lanes
For practical use on the lanes, this ball is recommended above all on long, high-volume oil patterns. When the heads are sufficiently oiled, it can unfold its full potential and delivers a continuous hook toward the pocket. It picks up the friction at the end of the pattern gently but decisively, which leads to outstanding carry. If you throw the ball fast, this is the perfect choice for hitting the pocket safely and repeatably. Should the lane dry up as the session goes on and the transition set in, it's advisable to plan a ball change early, since it could react too early on dry boards. It's an excellent ball for wet conditions that fully lives up to the expectations for modern performance characteristics and should consistently deliver high scores.
