Storm PhysiX Blackout Bowling Ball

The PhysiX Blackout is the latest release in the long line of PhysiX balls, but the first to feature the Atomic AI Core. I still have a hard time believing the PhysiX Blackout has the NEX pearl coverstock, with it sanded to 2000, it looks just like a solid ball - and behaves much more like a solid than a pearl. I drilled it up with my new favorite asymmetric layout, 5 x 5 x 4 that puts the pin in my middle finger. The PhysiX Blackout is extremely smooth and controllable. I was absolutely shocked to see how well the ball performed through all 3 games of league, something I’ve rarely been able to do with either dull or asymmetric pieces. Layout: 5 x 5 x 4 My Specs - Speed - 16 mph, Rev Rate - 315. PAP 5 1/8 x 7/8 Up. Youtube Link: https://youtu.be/A1Ph8WAJzNU

The Physix Blackout is Storms newest premier line release. The Physic Blackout features the AI Atomic core wrapped in NEX pearl. Anyone who loved the Proton Physix should be ecstatic as the Physix Blackout is a true pearl version of that ball. The Physix Blackout for me is the perfect ball down from my Harsh Reality and Ion Max. The Physix Blackout has been an awesome game one piece for league as well. The Physix Blackout is now available from any Storm VIP Pro Shop! Review Video: https://youtu.be/EtmFWSdtpsg?si=PyehdPPLb9mGPfa1

TESTING ENVIRONMENT Length:42 Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): House Shot BALL: Storm Physix Blackout Coverstock: NeX Pearl Coverstock Core: : Atomic A.I. Core Finish: 2000 Grit Abralon RG: 2.52 (14 Pounds) Differential: 0.054 (14 Pounds) MB/PSA: 0.016 (14 Pounds) ME: Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 13-14 mph Rev Rate: 210 PAP: 5 1/2 right 1/4 up Ball Layout: 4.75x4.5x2 The PhysiX is back in black!! There are a few lines that come out each year and as a huge fan of the PhysiX line I couldn’t wait to get holes in this one. First thing is that the fragrance is Pineapple and has a really good smell. Now onto the ball….The PhysiX BO comes at a surface of 2000 and is a very strong rolling ball. If you find this to be too strong give it some time for the oil to get into the ball. Like any new ball it will tame down just a tad and you will know what this ball is all about. I found it to be a higher volume ball as the center I bowl at is a higher friction surface and needs some oil to really shine. Speaking of that I have seen others that have shined theirs and this ball looks fantastic on the house shot. So back to my session I started standing on 15 and going up 10 and the ball took off. I jumped 5 left with my feet only and again the ball jumped onto the headpin. Moved 5 again with my feet and 5 with my eyes and now the ball started to look really good. Of Course there was no hold when I missed and it made me feel like I had to be perfect. I have another session with this ball with the surface before I test it with Polish. Seeing that the all new Level is soon to be released and might be on paper a better option to keep surface on that ball.

This ball gives me more area then any ball I have ever thrown. It is so smooth on back end yet hits like it turning hard into the pins the carry is unreal whether I miss left or right. Great job Storm

Physix Blackout https://www.youtube.com/shorts/n8NFbT7Nrj0 Attention Star S2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3G-wOwqjv0&t=1s... Road Warrior https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8T_lgwG4BM&t=1s Origin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFs8AQas00g&t=1s Ball Reviews: Physix Blackout: The Physix Blackout has become one of my favorite balls. It is usable on a variety of conditions and has become the first out the bag on THS in different centers which play entirely different which shows some of the versatility of this ball. The pearl cover with the 2000 finish allows the ball to be clean through the front of the lane yet smooth off the breakpoint and allows plenty of continuation down lane when it is needed most. I have been able to play with my angles closed and opened as well as get a little deeper into game 2 than other asym options that would typically burn up by this point. This ball, also, was good on sport. Bowling on 45' where my angle was closed towards the pocket this ball provided plenty of motion through the pins given the longer distance and higher volume of what I was bowling on. This ball is a must have for the competitive bowler and is another great rendition in the Physix line. Attention Star S2: The hybrid version of the Attention line is out with a much more controllable smooth motion compared to its predecessor the Attention Star. The S2 is great for those medium to heavier oil conditions when control is needed. I found this very usable on sport conditions when my angles needed to be closed and I wanted to keep everything in front of me and control to the pocket. This ball is slower responding than the original which allows you to use this on the fresh. When the lanes begin to hook up front and a cleaner reaction is needed you can piggy back onto to the original to continue to allow your ball to angle down lane without sacrificing energy and hitting power at the pins. Road Warrior: A new iteration the the popular Road line is back with the Road Warrior. This version is a pearl with the R2S deep cover. It is much slower than the original HyRoad pearl, which makes it more controllable. When you need a cleaner reaction than the stronger asym or symmetrical's the Road Warrior will be a good option to go to. Origin: New core, new cover and tons of power. The Origin is great for those medium to heavier oil conditions. At first, I found the ball a little too clean so I adjusted the surface to 2000 to get it to pick up sooner. The surface adjustment made all the difference in seeing the ball motion I was looking for. I found success on THS when the lanes play tight and I want to play more up the track area. Origin reserved tons of energy as it exited the pattern and continued well through the pins. Also, saw success on sport when my angles needed to slowly open up this ball was strong enough to dig into the deeper part of the lane where oil was still present yet provided strong continuation down lane that didn't sacrifice carry. The Origin will be a good option on on fresh or transition.

Likes: What is there not to like about this ball? For me, its in my bag! his ball rolls so good, I'm really happy with it. I never had a Physix, but this ball is black, so I had to give it a try. I was a little worried being 2000 out of the box, but once I threw it, it had a spot in my bag. For me, it reads the mid lane VERY WELL. Then it reads the back end, but it doesn't snap when it hits the dry. It works, say the Virtual Energy Blackout snaps to hard, or the Lightning Blackout doesn't hook enough, This ball is perfect right in the middle, but even more. With the new cover NeX Pearl, to me it feels like it blends the lane, Even works on drier lanes for me and you can move deeper to play the middle of the lane, or play a little straighter when that lanes are oily. I'm very happy with it. Dislikes: Not sure yet, This cover cleans up very well, I was looking for maybe some lane shine on it? But the cover cleans up very well...So...nothing to dislike about it lol

I put a light shine on this ball, it is very strong off the pattern and it hits hard

The Storm Physix Blackout features the NeX Pearl Reactive cover, Atomic A.I. Core, and Sanded at 2000 Grit Abralon. This is the newest ball in the Blackout line from storm and using NeX cover on a ball that we have not seen in a while. This ball is strong and wants to read really early out of the box with a fresh cover. As it lane shined up it did not read so early as it gave me more of that down lane pop. But with a fresh cover at 2000-grit or lower, this ball could be one of the biggest balls in the bag sitting just below the big sanded solids. Right now during the winter months the oil seems to be a little heavier or more volume so the Blackout is first out of the bag ball. I have not shined it up but the few I have seen seem like an earlier and stronger VEBO, if you went that route. This is going to be a great ball for higher volume and another great release from Storm Ball review link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzDmc3ykJPE&t=7s Tobias Myers #Stormnation

Physix Blackout - Ball Specs Cover Stock: NEX Pearl Reactive Finish: 2000 Grit Core: Atomic A.I. Core Layout: 50 x 5 x 40 RG: 2.47 Differential: 0.055 Intermediate Diff: .018 Review The Physix Blackout is the newest addition to Storm’s premier line. This Physix Blackout has the Atomic A.I. Core with the NEX pearl reactive cover stock. The Blackout has a slightly lower RG 0.47 and higher Differential 0.055 than the infinite physix. This gives the Blackout an earlier midlane reaction with a bigger backend. Plus the 2000 grit pearl cover and along with the AI enhanced core allows the Physix Blackout ball reaction to be more consistent and reliable. As mid to low rev player l am able to play to the right of the track area on heavy oil patterns and stand left of center on the typical house pattern. This ball will be in my bag for league and tournaments. Order one from your local pro shop today! My ball review videos are posted on YouTube channel Stanley Waite.

Storm PhysiX Blackout Coverstock: NeX Pearl Reactive Finish: 2000 Grit Abralon Core: Atomic A.I. Core (14pd) RG: 2.52 Differential: 0.054 Int Diff: 0.016 Layout: 4 3/4 x 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 - 2LS Tester: PAP 6 1/2 R, 1 1/4 D Review: The PhysiX Blackout takes the well designed Atomic Core, adds in A.I. and wraps it with the NeX coverstock that was used on the Storm Axiom. The 2K Abralon finish adds the right touch for most league and tournament bowlers. For my review of the PhysiX Blackout I tested the ball on two fresh house shots at two different centers along with an Infinite PhysiX (15pd) which is also a sanded pearl reactive. For me, the PhysiX Blackout did not require any surface adjustments on the two house patterns I tested it on. I was most impressed that the ball strength did not overtake my ball speed which is on the low side for a thumbless player. I did not throw the Physix Blackout through the breakpoint which on occasion I have tended to do with some pearl offerings. I learned that the PhysiX Blackout if drilled strong for a player can tend to be a hook monster for some players. The balanced layout I chose makes the PhysiX Blackout a definite starter in the THS bag. I tend to like balls that have that traction type look and this ball provides that for me. The entry angle I have been able to create with the PhysiX Blackout has been a definite plus and provides me some room to keep moving inside and not lose pin carry. The Infinite PhysiX for me did the same during its time period. I'm really excited to see how the PhysiX Blackout performs over time and on an array of sport patterns too. Be sure to start off the new year with your PhysiX Blackout. I have a feeling you will not be disappointed in a ball that gets the job done.
