Storm Phaze V Review

this brand new phase five has my stock kind of starting drilling up here a tall five to five about a five and a quarter inch pin for me uh obviously it's about two inches from my uh Val uh like I said this one smells like blueberry crumble uh the one thing that is very different about this is it has the brand new reactive gloss finish on it so it is polished again and uh let's see how it looks on the lane I'm going to do my traditional one game uninterrupted I'm going to talk my way through it you can watch it go down the

lane I'll explain what I'm seeing and maybe help you see what some of the same things and at the end I'm going to throw it up against some of the best balls on the marketplace so you can decide where this fits in not only for me but for you in your overall Oceano whoa that's in new house shot here at Lewisville for those of you that watch the night Road

video this is uh there's probably 30 percent more volume on the Lane right now than there was and the puddle has definitely gotten deeper so uh well the night Road hooked I was probably five or six left with the night Road on that house shot on this here uh it would go pretty straight actually

so like you said traditional low RG big flaring core uh a Hallmark of not only the phase two which one of the best balls of all time but uh a lot of the greatest balls ever made tend to be those same type of numbers low RG cores that are symmetrical they roll good on a lot of different things and that's something that's definitely different on some of the other house shot stuff that I've bowled here when

you used to get it there it uh it would either hook a lot or hook not at all so we stayed away from that now the puddle's pretty deep so you actually want to get around it one of the biggest differences about this than any of the other phases is that it has the new reactor gloss on it his 15 are polished same thing we've seen a lot storm line but we haven't seen this reactive gloss yet and this is what replaces the old polish that uh

that came under Fire that one I got a little too far right a little quick and with the fast eight on the Hop which is not really my best effort so far trying to hit about 13. that was a win

you see that puddle's really deep now this is a this is a little bit unusual for uh for what we see here it's a 20 year old hpl surface actually almost 30 year old now uh so it tends to hook a little bit in the front especially these wood approaches so it's cut back into it once you get past it tends to be pretty tight that's even further in ah

just an execution Wizardry right now so hey you want to see what a ball does when you miss this I'm going to show you all of it right now Miss way right and we left all right I'm gonna move five left and throw it slower so you can get an idea of what this does obviously that doesn't work

that's it welcome to Louisville oh well the good news is this ball still retains energy has that long continuation window that we've seen a lot in the phase line in general and really in a lot of balls coming out of the storm plant for quite a bit

foreign even though it's slowed down and rolling and obviously I don't play as much angle as some of the younger guys do but it continues that shape and it's still going that way even through the pins so that's a shape I really love to see now I'm sliding 30. looking about 17. so

a little bit still made it through the puddle so that's good news foreign more like 12 13.

there you go that was almost on purpose she might be able to tell I'm breathing hard now because the whole game of bowling does that to me but uh you notice in the reviews not everyone's in Peak physical condition like the beef and bargie channel so they can't all bowl like this I'm gonna move another three right and get firmer so you can get an idea what this does too

okay it's just a little bit a little bit too strong in the front need a little more time in the back there you go 236 with a phase five well the most obvious ball to throw up against a phase five is a phase four when the marketplace very long also 1500 polish just a different polish obviously it has a lot of yellow in it which in theory historically would tell us would make it hook a little bit sooner but

let's see what it looks like foreign that was in the puddle a little bit and that's where the face five got a little bit longer that one rolled through it now let's try and throw it a little bit right see what it looks like when you get it to the bump

wow came off of it got going forward pretty quick so I would say definitely the phase four rolls a little sooner than the phase five uh these balls I think it's it's going to be an easy you're going to hear a lot that it's basically a phase five uh that the phase five is a phase four replacement it's exactly the same ball I'd say even from those two shots by itself you could tell that's not really the case I'm gonna go ahead and move five left now and then see what it looks like when you move in

got a handful of that now I think it probably rolls in the oil a little bit more but it's going to be a little bit smoother off the dry so overall a little less continuous and uh in the big scheme of things I think the phase five is going to go a couple of feet longer and probably end up about the same amount of overall hook but you're going to have more angle through the pins with the phase five now another ball to test up against the phase five is the Zen and this has very similar core numbers uh within a point basically either way with

both RG and with differential so a Polish 1500 this is uh this is one that came 4K fast that I put polish on we're going to stay in the same place that we did with the phase five and see what it looks like foreign maybe just a touch sharper off the dry there this ball has been one of the best balls

well it's been one of the best selling balls in the history of 900 Global for sure that in the reality uh a shiny bow that hooks as much as a rare thing indeed so we're gonna move our eyes just a little bit left and see what happens a little longer a little less responsive or a little more responsive but in this time in this case it responded to that oil uh my early thing after just two shots would say the Zen is a touch more

responsive uh and gets just a little bit longer than the phase five now we're going to take that same move where we move five boards left and we're going to go around a little bit and see what this ball looks like on that again a little bit longer so in this

case I'd say the phase four is a little bit earlier is then the phase five and I'd say the Zen is probably a little bit longer than the phase five and so far that's where I see these balls kind of fitting together right now another good ball to test up against this end Soul we've seen a lot of this lately in some cases we're seeing people compare it to a phase two and that's kind of where I've used it as myself this one's become Lane polished so it's uh basically that fifteen hundred two thousand and uh and it's Lane shine now so I was

starting that same spot with the other balls what you're seeing in general is I think that one starts up a little bit sooner uh than probably the phase five uh the phase four and the Zen in general which you kind of expect it doesn't come polished so it's probably not a super big surprise

similar core numbers again in the 248050 range I'm going to move a couple boards left now and let's see what it does on this and that's in the puddle that's where the stronger a Little Bit Stronger cover stock a little bit duller color for stock comes into play so a little bit better on the wet dry uh we'll move in five more on this last shot and get an idea what it looks like from in there

again this is a couple more left of where we were with the phase five so overall I would say the Zen Soul probably hooks two to three boards more than the phase five it's going to be two to three feet sooner and a little smoother so if you're in some place where they're a little drier uh got some hook in the front the phase five will be much better I think the Zen sole will probably come into play if you have more oil in the front more volume overall that duller cover will help you get

through that five from Storm 248-051 1500 polish with reactor gloss and smells like blueberry crumbles watch this in more videos and see how this ball compares to everything else in the lineup on the beef and Barney Channel we'll see you next time
