Storm Ion Max Review

welcome back to the Channel storm productss is bringing you to a whole new level you could say the max ion max effective we'll find out I will to cross the city to you cross the city

[Music] so first time I've hit the pocket all day first we had ion Pro now we have ion Max what's the difference I'm going to show you in this video so the ion Max features a cover that we've used before very similar to the proton physics this one's a little different it's weird because normally balls with the same name have the same cores but this Ball's got way more differential than the original ion Pro which means it's going to hook low RG hook High differential hook this one's got like baby

intermediate differential so it's not the maximum amount of hook we could look for but this ball is going to hook as my ball goes live when we talk about hook we're talking about front to back so this ball is going to hook really early compared to your Ion Pro which just going to get much further down the lane before it hooks it's going to stay on line a lot longer because of the low diff I on pro pro typically

means low diff low diff means control now we have high diff which I guess you can think of as out of control this ball smells like strawberries I move to the right all my cannot hide I will run to you cross the city

to cross the C that's 313 shots shout out to Gold Co shout out to the Ming and he oiled for us they did a lot for us today actually that we could bring to you the best barall review possible but we've got 43 ft out here don't know the ratio they don't feel super hard but their normal house shot was hooking way too much and it's very flat I probably would have had to get in front of the ball return we don't want that ion Max where does this fit asymmetric piece again very baby intermediate that's one step away from being probably the strongest ball we

make which I think is the gem so this is going to be a slight step down from the gem probably comparable in cover but the biggest difference is the cover is a lot stronger than the ion Pro and the differential is a lot higher so that just means hook AK early as you can see now that's left haven't thrown one there yet that was close based on what I've been seeing all day so far bowling on other lanes let's take a chunk to the left and

we'll see what happens so these really really strong bowling balls typically not great for the house shop for players like myself I'm a little more on the Rev dominant side not saying I have a High Rev rate but my rev rate ratio compared to my speed is on the Rev rate side how do you find that out kind of just experience you look at it and go okay yeah speed dominant yeah rev dominant yeah I you just kind of throw some shots figured out based on what other people do but uh here we're taking about 7 to the left going to open up the [Music] lanes also

left yeah this thing [Music] hooks lanes are pretty fresh too I'm going to assume they're not super high ratio it's kind of on the sport shot side I would guess so I probably don't need to throw it that slow or R my hand around it that much from there yet so I'll throw another one and hopefully hit the pocket we'll hit the pocket this time [Music] or we [Music]

won't if you're not hitting the pocket and you feel like your ball's looking too much and you're moving left you're moving left you're moving left you could be getting too far outside the window of what the pattern's asking for here I think I'm too far into the flatness of the pattern so I'm going to move back to the right and then in a few shots when I finally start throwing some strikes we're going to go to the ion Pro and you'll see the the difference is it's actually a really big difference between these two bowling [Music]

balls I've gone High every Miss small hooks a lot I've also missed left probably more often than I should at the moment so like I said small hooks a lot it's got very bright pigments which also means ball is going to hook more than if it was just all purple [Music] the lane man asked if I wanted 50 ft and

I said yes but they took it out of the machine Gold Coast is notoriously known for hooking a lot so ball that hooks a lot house that hooks a lot not the best combo but if you need a ball that hooks a lot cuz you don't hook it a lot this is probably the ball for you no more messing around we're going to start making this ball look better hopefully the ball starts making me look better all right here we [Music]

go okay gosh this thing is strong I was told it's called the baby proton almost identical to the proton physics just with that a little less intermediate diff that mass bias number so if you like the proton physics you are more than likely going to like this one is it a complete replacement I would say no this is probably the closest thing we got I'm going back left cuz that's just what I do there we [Music] go just kidding I think this ball is way too strong for what's out there right

now there the other one the ion Pro I wouldn't be surprised if the ion Pro was too weak on the other side but I also wouldn't be surprised if it looks really good so both of these are pinned down I think the ion is uh 4 1/2 by 4 1/2 by 4 and 1/4 this one's pretty close to the same might be a 5- in pin but here I'm going to showcase for you how different they

[Music] are clearly we need a weaker ball right now cuz that looked fantastic that was the same spot pretty much just the same 710 and we didn't leave that 710 because our ball didn't hook we left the 710 cuz our ball hooked so much in the front didn't have enough energy to hit the pins down the lane this one was in the same spot red the lane perfect this is just what the lanes are calling for right now am I saying the ion Pro is a better ball than the ion Max no I believe every ball has a time and a place to be used this is just not the time for unfortunately the ion Max considering this is the ion Max video

that sucks that's bowling that's how it is so we'll throw one more with the ion Pro and then we'll throw the two-handed one [Music] [Music]

yeah the I probably looks way better right now this house hooks so much in the front of the lane that any strong ball that we roow typically doesn't look very good here so hopefully that'll change in the future where we can bowl somewhere where all the balls look better two hands much fresher surface here 5x 5x three I scrib my uh layouts into the ball I'm going to move left I'm going to try to throw it to the right because this Ball's going to hook I can see this ball looking way better to right now than one

[Music] [Music] so this is the weakest layout I've put on a ball so far two-handed cuz I knew this ball was going to hook a lot I actually got to the other this ball at storm we kind of ran into the same issue we were trying to find a pattern that I

could throw it on that would have enough oil that was flat enough their normal test pattern hooked way too much it forced me so far left that this ball just looked horrible because it's really strong reads really early and the window of use is typically a little smaller for balls this strong for a player like me at least if you throw it harder or your rat's a little lower it'll probably look much better for you when they're hooking this much but for me this is just not the right time to throw it

I didn't throw that one very good as you can see I'm sliding in the left gutter I'm throwing it way right and it's just covering the entire Lane s you guys one more shot two-handed with the ion Max this ball hooks a lot this is definitely going to be the first ball in my bag moving forward I do think it's pretty good I haven't thrown it in the field yet obviously because it's brand new and as we're shooting this not allowed to throw it anywhere else oh this shot feels nice I haven't even thrown it yet [Music] the wind keeps M and the waves keep

[Music] rolling away come [Music] away away come away it's early that one was pretty good but yeah this thing is early the biggest thing that the ball wizard Alex Hoskins wanted me to mention is because this ball has so much more diff you can drill it pined down typically with the really low diff balls if you drill them pinned

down you're drilling them even weaker so now they're just going to stay on line even longer sometimes they just shoot through the back of the pattern I recommend drolling ion Pros a little bit stronger than you normally would but with the ion Max because it's got more differential which means more hook drill them weaker you can I drilled my one-handed one weaker hopefully it'll be in play at some point and uh because I threw that last shot so good I'm going to throw another one two hter for you guys that one wasn't as [Music]

good usually when we strike on those I go that's why you're both two-handed but it's just not striking because it's way too early so I hope that's a lesson for you guys watching out there if you're learning about ball reaction let this be an example I'm not getting ripped off I'm not getting tapped my ball is just hooking way too early so sometimes if you have a really strong bowling ball and it's going straight it's just hooking way too early it might be a little confusing if you're too pinning with a strong ball throwing that weaker ball might be the solution more times than not it is I need Redemption with the one hand so I'm going to throw a one-handed shot this has been ion Max

it's coming to you worldwide September 20th 2024 max out the game [Music] bang maxed out the Game Bang

I threw that pretty bad maybe I wasn't far enough left thanks for watching we'll see you in the next one
