Storm Summit Ascent Bowling Ball

Layout - 45 x 5 x 30 The Summit Ascent is the first solid in the Summit line. While you might think "even stronger and earlier than the original Summit?", it fits right in between the original Summit and the Summit Peak. While the Summit is a hybrid, it was a very strong cover that used an updated version of the Phaze II cover formula. The Summit Ascent, however, utilizes the proven R2S solid coverstock at 4000 grit out of the box. If that sounds familiar, that's exactly the same cover and finish as the IQ Tour! So the end result is a cleaner solid than other similar pieces like the Optimum Idol and the Phaze II. The Summit Ascent is, just... WOW! The R2S Solid cover is a perfect complement to the proven super-low RG Centripetal HD AI core found in the other two Summits. Compared to the Phaze II and the Optimum Idol, it is cleaner with a much more pronounced backend charge. It is VERY strong of the spot and cuts through the pocket like butter. Available August 23. You are not going to be disappointed with this one! Todd Sigeti Storm Amateur Staff

Summit Ascent - Ball Specs Cover Stock: R2S Solid Reactive Cover Stock Finish: 4000 Grit Core: Centripetal HD Layout: 65 x 5 x 35 RG: 2.46 Differential: 0.056 Review The Summit Ascent is the latest addition to Storm’s Master line. The Summit Ascent has combined the Centripetal HD core with R2S Solid Reactive cover stock. This combination gives the Summit Ascent a cleaner read in the midlane for a ball with a solid cover stock, which allows for versatility on house and tournament lane conditions. I tested the Summit Ascent on a 43 feet house pattern. For a mid to low rev player, I was able to play track area out to the first arrow with great success. The R2S solid cover allowed Summit Ascent to get to its break point and store a lot of energy on the backend for a continuous motion through the pins. This is a great ball for all levels of bowlers.

The Storm Summit Ascent stands out as a powerful addition to Storm’s lineup, designed to excel in heavy oil conditions. This ball features the Centripetal HD weight block paired with the new A.I. (Amplified Inertia) outer core, delivering a strong mid-lane read and robust backend reaction. Compared to other balls in Storm’s current lineup, the Summit Ascent offers more aggressive traction due to its TX-23 Hybrid coverstock, which enhances oil absorption and provides exceptional grip on slick lanes. It's particularly ideal for bowlers who want a strong, continuous motion through the pins without sacrificing control, making it a top choice for tackling challenging lane conditions. Whether you’re facing fresh oil or transitioning patterns, the Summit Ascent’s combination of power and versatility sets it apart from other balls in Storm's range, making it a must-have for competitive bowlers.

The Storm Summit Ascent comes with the R2S Solid Reactive, Centripetal™ HD -A.I. Core, and 4000-grit surface. This is the newest ball in the Summit line. This Summit is the cleanest of the three so far and gets down the lane with plenty of pop. This ball reminds me of a symmetrical Absolute Power or in that area as I see it. I think this is the weakest of the 3 summits as the original summit and peak are a bit stronger. I compared it to both the Power and Peak and felt like a ball just below the Power/Peak. The Ascent seems to be a stronger IO Tour Solid due to the core being stronger with a bit more midlane. I am already liking this ball and it's going to be another home run from Storm!
