Storm Monsoon Review

Storm has announced the rocket AI and monsoon and they will be releasing on May 1st. I'm going to attempt to get you up to speed on what they are and what's going on, but of course the website once again is making that significantly more difficult than it needs to be. Starting off with the Monsoon. It's a simple one. It's a solid Typhoon and that sounds amazing. Typhoon I think is one of the best light to medium oil balls on the market. I've been singing its praises since it came out. It always gets a mention when we're talking about great lighter oil balls. Same Atmos AI core at a 253 RG and an 042 differential in 15

pounds. Very consistent numbers 14 through 16. Uh they're moderately strong numbers for where it's supposed to fit, but bowlers are getting better. Oil volumes are getting higher and that also places balls like the Typhoon and Monsoon right in the middle of league ball territory. The cover is regular reactor solid at 2000 grit. So, if you found the Typhoon to be a great game two or game three ball in League, but typically needs something stronger to start the night with, here you go. This is going to be a great fresher condition ball on lighter to medium lane conditions and should look great on our

testing pattern. I don't think Tobias is getting one, but I'm pretty sure Zach will. Uh Tobias never gets down this far in his arsenal, so no real need for him. Pretty excited about this one myself. Uh Storm actually used to have a cover stock called Monsoon that was on the Supercharge, among others. Uh, the supercharge was one of my favorites way back when, and the colors kind of remind me of the El Nino Gold, also going way back. The scent is grapple, which I'm imagining is grape apple. That should be amazing, too. And this this just looks like another winner here. Next, Rocket

AI. Another one I'm kind of excited about. I was a big fan of the original Rocket line. Absolutely perfect league balls, very useful at tournaments. Uh, just great stuff. Loved all three. Threw them a bunch. This one gets a couple upgrades. Uh, first of all, they've added the AI outer core to buff the core up to a 253rg and an 048 differential. Not a ton different from the Monsoon and Typhoon. Just a little more diff here, which probably won't be noticeable to be honest. Again, pretty consistent numbers, 14 through 16, but the cover is

what's going to separate this one from the Typhoon. Uh, A1S Pearl from the original Equinox and Hy Road 40 is featured here. It's polished with Power Edge. Uh, so definitely a couple steps up from Reactor. The High Road 40 hasn't been that popular, but the Equinox has been really impressive. So, I'm expecting this one to lean more the Equinox direction. I think it's going to be a good one. This is also kind of a Belmo ball. It's not Belmo Ball priced, so that's nice. It's probably a little high for what it is, but it's definitely nothing unreasonable. It's something

that's going to fit between the Monsoon/Typhoon and something like the Phase 2 Pearl, and it's priced right between them. So, again, no worries there. I believe I remember Belmo being a big fan of the Rocket line. Uh we we know he always liked the high roads. The Rockets all had the same cover formula, just a little tweak on the core. So definitely in the same zone. Uh not surprised to see the collaboration there. The ball looks kind of plain in the photo, but I think it's going to be sharp rolling down the lane. Uh Frosted Berry is the scent, so kind of a throwback feel to that as well. I think they have another

couple winners here. again, uh, they've been putting out a bunch of great stuff over the last year and a half, and I don't expect anything different here. However, I don't think I can ever expect anything different when I go to the website to look some information up either. I don't know why the biggest name company in the industry can't ever have a functioning website. It's so frustrating to be prepping for videos and checking references and, oh, hey, this web page isn't there. That web page isn't there. This one is, but only half of it exists. There's no core info or downloads available. Then a handful of others take me through the stupid

marketing presentation thing when I'm just trying to get to the regular product page to doublech checkck information so that I can make a video promoting their product. I don't know what their deal is and why they've always gone so far out of their way to make it so much harder than it needs to be on people that are just trying to promote their product or buy their product. If you try to go to their website right now to find anything out, you're just going to hit roadblock after roadblock after frustration after redirection. And it's just insane how much more difficult it is to make a video for their stuff versus everybody

else. Everybody else makes it so easy and it's just a constant fight and time drain to make any video for this company. Thankfully, my whiskey cabinet's looking pretty sexy right now. But anyway, May 1st for these two. Uh really looking forward to them. Think they're going to be great. Probably be a couple weeks before you see reviews, but we'll get them up as soon as we can.
