Product Description
Storm’s Phaze II has earned its reputation as one of the most consistent, tournament‑proven symmetric balls ever produced, and it continues to be a staple for serious league and competitive bowlers. Built around the fast‑revving Velocity core, Phaze II offers a low RG of 2.48 and a high differential of 0.051 in 15 lb, creating strong flare potential and a powerful mid‑lane roll that blends today’s higher volume house and sport conditions.
Wrapped in TX‑16 (Traction‑X 2016) solid reactive in the iconic Red/Blue/Purple color and finished at 3000 Abralon, Phaze II digs in earlier than shiny symmetric pieces while still providing a smooth, continuous backend that avoids “jerky” over‑reaction. That blend of traction and control makes it a true benchmark ball—one you can confidently start with on medium‑heavy patterns to see the lane, then decide whether to ball up or down. TX‑16 also responds extremely well to surface changes, so you can tune Phaze II anywhere from 1000‑grit for heavier oil to a higher‑grit sheen for more length, without losing its readable shape.

Storm Phaze II Bowling Ball FAQ
Q: Who is the Storm Phaze II designed for?
A: Phaze II is built for league and tournament bowlers who want a strong, readable symmetric benchmark ball for medium‑heavy conditions—something they can trust on fresh and use as a primary “read” piece on tougher patterns.
Q: How does Phaze II compare to the original Phaze?
A: Both use the Velocity core, but the original Phaze used a smoother, more skid‑friendly cover, while Phaze II’s TX‑16 solid and 3000‑grit finish give it more traction, less mid‑lane skid, and a more controlled motion at the breakpoint. In testing, Phaze II was 2–4 boards stronger overall and slightly more angular than the original at similar surfaces.
Q: What kind of ball motion should I expect from Phaze II?
A: Expect a fast‑revving, heavy‑rolling motion that picks up in the mid‑lane and continues strongly through the pins with a smooth, rounded backend—strong enough to handle volume but without the over‑reactive, hockey‑stick motion of some asymmetrics.
Q: What lane conditions does Phaze II work best on?
A: Phaze II is ideal on medium‑heavy oil and fresh house or sport patterns where you need the ball to read the mid‑lane and control the back of the lane; with surface tweaks, it can be used from heavier volumes down to moderately light patterns.
Q: Is Phaze II a good first “real” ball or benchmark ball?
A: Many coaches and reviewers call Phaze II a great benchmark for a wide range of styles, because it quickly tells you if you should move to something stronger or weaker in your arsenal. It’s powerful but controllable enough to serve as a first high‑performance piece for bowlers who are ready for a serious reactive ball.
Q: How does Phaze II respond to surface changes?
A: TX‑16 is very surface‑friendly; bowlers successfully use Phaze II at 1000, 2000, and box 3000 finishes, adjusting the ball to read earlier or get a touch more length while keeping its core motion intact.
Q: Why is Phaze II considered a “must‑have” in many arsenals?
A: Since its release, Phaze II has been praised as one of the strongest and most useful symmetric solids Storm has ever made, and it has become the company’s #1‑selling ball in history, outlasting many other releases while staying in constant production.

Great benchmark ball! One of the best Balling ball I've ever owned, in my humble opinion! Very predictable and strong on many oil patterns. If you're in a slump, or are lost on the lanes, throw this ball and you'll be back on track!
