Storm Ion Pro Bowling Ball

Orientation: Right Handed Rev Rate: 400 RPM Speed: 16-17 MPH PAP: 4 ½ over and 1 1/8 up Location: Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO Pattern: High Volume THS VLS Layout: Layout 1: 4 5/8 x 4 x 2 ½ (Pin above bridge) Layout 2: 4 ¼ x 4 x 4 (pin below bridge) The ION Pro is the ball I’ve been waiting for! I wanted a lower diff/Int diff ball forever! The Tour DynamX was really close but it is a little too slow due to the differential being 0.026. It was hard to get that ball into the roll phase if there was too much oil or with too much ball speed. The ION PRO solves that problem! It always gets into a roll. It’s not too strong, or weak, it’s the perfect benchmark ball. I can throw it harder and I can get real straight, or slow down and really send the ball right and it will recover. That’s how I measure my benchmark balls, how many zones can I play! Tour Dynam-X was limited, the ION PRO built on that ball and can do ANYTHING and the carry is vastly improved. Pick one up today!

Cover: TX-16 Hybrid Reactive Core: Element Tour A.I. RG: 2.47 RG. Diff.: 0.035 Finish: 4000-Grit Abralon Fragrance: Kiwi Tart Storm’s new Ion Pro is a Hybrid Asymmetric Piece. This piece is good for Heavy-Medium Volume Patterns. PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 400. Speed: 16.5. Drilled this piece with the Pin Up between the Fingers, CG kicked out 1” from the palm, and Mass Bias 1 1/2” Right of the Thumb. I threw this on a burned up 43’ house pattern. Out of Box ball motion was clean through the fronts with a strong continuous motion in the backend. I compared this piece to the Phaze II (3-3 Right) starts earlier in the mids wth a smooth motion on the backend and IQ Tour (4-4 Right) was more of a smooth rolling piece. This piece fits between the Phaze II and IQ Tour. This is a Versatile piece that fits all styles of bowlers. Check out the Ball motion Video on my YouTube Page: https://youtu.be/a8rq3_4_8PM

The Ion Pro has the TX-16 hybrid cover wrapped around the Element Tour AI Core is able to adapt on multiple lane patterns. The hybrid cover is a perfect balance of pearl and solid components will ensure optimal length and backend will be achieved on all medium conditions. My ball layout is 50x5x40. For a low to mid rev player this ball reads the mid lane very well and does not overreact down lane. I tested this ball on THS 43 Feet with great success playing multiple angles. If you need ball that's gives you a great look on multiple patterns, put the Storm Ion Pro in your bag today! My ball review videos are posted on YouTube channel Stanley Waite.

The Ion Pro features the TX-16 hybrid cover wrapped around the brand new Element Tour AI core. This produces a very stable and versatile ball reaction that’s going to work for a wide variety of styles across all conditions. The Ion Pro reminds me a lot of my older IQ Tours with big weight holes. The increase in differential and cover strength over the OG IQ Tour makes the Ion Pro handle more oil and steeper angles through the front part of the lane.

HAND: LEFT (ONE HANDED) PAP: 4 3/8 OVER / 1/16 UP BALL SPEED: 16MPH REV RATE: 420 AXIS TILT: 20 AXIS ROTATION: 50 LAYOUT: 60X4.5X40 The all-new ION PRO features the new Element Tour Core and the reliable TX-16 Hybrid Cover stock giving you the ultimate benchmark shape for today's conditions. This ball was designed to upgrade the IQ Tour and, in my opinion, they nailed it. I’ve used this ball on multiple lane patterns and surfaces and so far, this ball does exactly what its intended to do. Out of the box I had a little more down lane motion than I'd like to see out of this type of a ball, so I decided to hit it with a 2,000 pad to get the ball to rev up a little earlier on the lane and mellow out the backends. For me this ball is about 2-3 boards stronger than my IQ Tour and it has taken over my Phaze 2 position in my tournament bag. It has a little more torque off the pattern than both of those 2 balls and seems to handle the oil just as well as my Phaze 2. The Ion Pro seems to really bridge the gap between Asymmetrical and symmetrical bowling balls. This ball will do well in both tournament and house shot conditions as it has that benchmark feel which all players of all styles will enjoy.

Storm Ion Pro will bridge the gap between the high end asymmetricals and their stong symmetricals. I compared the ion pro to the Phaze 2 and the IQ tour solid in my video and for me the ion pro had more shape downlane but will great control.I can definitely see the ion pro as my first ball out of the bag with great versatility. I can definitely see different layouts and surface preps on the Ion pro to create some different options. Available June 21st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Storm Ion Pro - Premier Line Coverstock: TX-16 Hybrid - 4000 Grit Core: Element Tour A.I. RG: 2.47 Differential: .035 PSA: .014 (15 lbs) Fragrance: Kiwi Tart Layout: 5 x 5 x 3 PAP: 6" Right, 1 3/8" Up Axis Tilt: 16° Rotation: 51° Rev Rate: 450-500 Speed: 17-18 mph Location: Vista Lanes - Yorkville, NY Pattern: 2023 USBC Jr. Gold Lane Surface: HPL The Ion Pro takes the idea of benchmark ball to the next level. The combination of the brand new TX-16 hybrid coverstock, that was derived from the Phaze II, along with the brand new Element Tour A.I. asymmetric core redefines the expectations of a reliable, stable, and versatile ball. The Ion Pro was specifically designed to allow bowlers of any style to play multiple angles on a variety of lane conditions. The Ion Pro gave me the best look sliding on 33, looking 19 at the arrows with my breakpoint around 8, but if I wanted to play straighter I could get softer with my hand and stay more up the back of the ball. It also looked great further left with more tilt and slower ball speed. When compared to the Summit, the Ion Pro is 4 boards stronger, cleaner, and much more continuous. The Ion Pro will slot below a big solid asymmetric and above a solid/hybrid symmetric in my bag. The Ion Pro is going to be a game changer and a must in everyone's bag!

The Ion Pro is the latest and greatest benchmark type category ball that is released by Storm adding to the success of the Phaze 2 and iQ Tour. The Ion Pro features the all new Element Tour AI core that yields an RG of 2.47, diff of 0.035 and PSA of 0.014 and is wrapped around the TX-16 Hybrid cover stock. I drilled mine 5 x 5 x 4.5 which is also the same drilling I have in my Phaze 2 and iQ Tour. My first impression in throwing this ball was that is like the best of both balls for me. I naturally have the iQ Tour a little cleaner for a solid and I have the Phaze 2 a little more angular on the back and stronger overall hook. The Ion Pro sits directly between the too because for me the first half of it going down the lane reminds me of an Tour but the back half reminds me of a Phaze 2. I believe high rev players going to love this ball mostly because of the forgiveness of it and I can see it being great on the fresh or right after the Phaze 2.

Well my bowling family...It's coming! The release date is 6-21-24. The new Storm benchmark bowling ball. The ION Pro! I received this ball, got to throw it a few times. I'm pretty happy with it. Out of the box finish, I left it how it came. TX-16 Hybrid Reactive Cover stock, this is a asymmetric ball, with a A.I. Core. People who like the IQ Tour or the Phase II...here you go. It rolls so good, I love the color, and the reaction. I can't wait to try it on different lane conditions. This is the first asymmetric benchmark ball ever designed by Storm Bowling and will be the new standard of reliability.

The Storm Ion Pro features the TX-16 Hybrid Reactive cover, Element Tour A.I. Core, and comes at 4000-grit. This is the new benchmark from the Storm brand. This ball has a lower diff which puts it in the range of the IQTS. The Ion gets plenty of length with plenty of down lane motion. This ball is stronger and seems to be a ball up from the IQTS. I compared my Ion to the Absolute Power and the Ion is a touch stronger with more shape down lane. The Power is a ball I would go to when the Ion is becoming too much ball for the lame. Another amazing release from Storm!!! Tobias Myers #Stormnation
