As a reminder, I am more up the back of the ball than other staffers so please remember this review is about a ball I threw and how I saw it. So let’s move on to what I know and what I can share. I had the same “issue” with the original Phaze. I don’t mind multi-colored balls just every once in a while one makes my eyes have a hard time reading it. So first thoughts seeing the ball go down the lane was it tricked my eye a bit because of the colors of the pour if you will. I wish that I had thrown the original Parallax to give a more in-depth comparison between the balls with all things being equal, but I didn’t so I will treat this review like a new brand ball. 019 with an incredible Orange Coffee Cake smell. In 15 pounds this ball is wrapped in the TractionX7 Pearl Reactive Coverstock and comes 1500-grit polished with an RG of 2.52, Diff of. Hey everyone, I’m back with another ball review, and this time it’s for the Storm Incite!.
#Parallax bowling ball upgrade#
I really think this ball is an upgrade on all fronts from the Parallax, it even needs an upgrade in oil to show its true colors! I just feel like I really have to throw it away from the pocket to keep it right of the head pin, even with the surface. I do like the motion of my pin down Parallax more than this one, though. The Parallax Effect is stronger off the spot than my pin up, OG, Parallax. Now the ball reads the mid lane a bit more and is still strong down lane. I hit the cover with an older 2000 pad and it brought the ball to life. Out of the box, I don’t think this layout and cover matched up. This pin up layout allows the ball to get through the heads with ease and to be strong down lane. It has been a while since I had used this layout on a ball. This ball is stronger than my Incite and Phaze II but less than my Proton physics. I can see this ball working really well on challenge/sport shots or “cliffed” lanes because it doesn’t boomerang on the backend. It worked better if I kept my angles closed a bit more rather than trying to cover the whole lane or swinging it to the ditch. Where my Axiom finished over the 8 pin, this ball went straighter back splitting the 8-9 and tripped a lot of 4 pins. The Aeroflo core didn’t rev up as fast as the Axiom, but tumbled more than the Axiom, which made it go a little more forward off the end of the pattern and through the pins. As the patterns broke down and forced me left, the better this ball performed. I had to keep it closer to the oil line/middle part of the lane to generate enough skid and hold on all the patterns. I was able to throw it on 4 different oil patterns ranging from 39’ to 43’ feet in length with the factory 1500-grit Polished finish, 20 grit finishes. Review: The Pearl TractionX7 cover is surprisingly stronger than the original Parallax. Layout: 40 x 4 x 70 (pin below ring finger) Rev Rate 400, Average Tilt, low Axis Rotation.
#Parallax bowling ball series#
Either way, this is a ball that will be great once the stronger solid covers start to pick up too early, but you still need more overall hook than the Hy-Road series or the weaker balls in our line.Ĭlick This Link Below For All Social Media :Ĭlick This Link Below To Get A Bowlifi Jersey & Save $5 Off Your First Order :Ģ016 PBA Southern Regional Rookie Of The Year I’m excited to see if this ball fits in between my Nuclear Cell and Rubicon UC2, or if it is even stronger than the Nuclear Cell. I compared it to the Rubicon UC2 in my YouTube ball review and the Parallax Effect covers more boards overall. I was surprised at how much this ball hooked down lane and how it never stopped once it started to hook. I didn’t match up well with the original Parallax, so the pearl cover on the Effect helps it a lot. My expectations were exceeded with the Parallax Effect. This ball offers a little more length, backend, and entry angle than its predecessor but a little less mid-lane reaction when on heavy oil.Īll colors do vary somewhat from the picture shown A flip block at the bottom of the core creates a high total differential. This core features an ellipsed hole that is filled with lighter core material which creates a higher RG than usually found in asymmetric bowling balls. This dynamic core surrounds the Aeroflo Core. This coverstock offers durability, backend, slower oil absorption as well as versatility. The TractionX7 combines all of the best features found in Storm's seven most popular coverstocks to date. This ball introduces the Pearl version of the TractionX7 coverstock. Every aspect of the Storm Parallax Effect supports the dynamic performance of this high-performance bowling ball.
