5/12/2023 0 Comments Code zero bowling ball![]() But, what happens when you have a ball that’s capable of offering both?” What this boils down to is a high differential and lower RG core that wants stability as soon as you release it wrapped in a higher friction pearl cover. Others glide through the front part of the lane with ease, saving all their energy for an explosive backend reaction. “Some bowling balls immediately sink their teeth into the lane in order to provide traction in oil. This direct quote from Storm explains the design intent behind the Dark Code. The Dark Code features the Rad 4 core found in all the previous code balls but is now wrapped in REX pearl.

Today I will be bowling on a standard medium volume house shot. This ball has a lot of motion for a polished ball. The Dark Code rolls well on a variety of patterns and hits hard. If you are looking for a strong Pearl or a Code Black upgrade this should fit the bill! Summary: The Dark Code is an upgrade on the original Code Black. It is as strong as my Parallax Effect but I prefer the shape the dark code gives me. I would put it above my Axiom Pearl in total hook. I have used this ball a lot at two houses toward the end of our summer leagues with great success. Some people are Leary to roll polished balls when the lanes are oily but the new polished balls I’m seeing from Storm are very strong. I feel what helps this is the mixture of the R2S additive in the pearl cover. The Dark Code provides a large amount of hook for a polished ball. My customers who have rolled both report the Dark Code is an upgrade on the original. If you had a Code Black you will see a similar roll just more of it. We had a good number of people pre order this ball at our shop. Speed at cameras 15.5 Review: The Storm Dark Code is another great addition to the Storm Line. I found a great ball to use in this center at the start of this coming bowling season and it is the DARK CODE.īall Specs: Storm Dark Code Pearl Reactive 1500 Grit Polished Asymmetric Core Layout 50 x 5 x 35 Bowler Specs: Right Hand. I tend to have over / under there when using benchmark balls like Idols and stronger ASYMS like The Nuclear Cells in this center and seemed to always be "between" balls. The DARK CODE did not over hook on the pattern like similar balls I used in that same house. Went to another center that has newer SPL with a longer length house pattern and found the Dark Code worked so much better on the fresh. More control without losing any carrying power through the pins. Storm Dark Code: Coverstock: ReX Pearl Reactive Weight Block: RAD4 Core Finish: 1500-grit polished Layout: 4.5 x 5 x 2 Testing on a 43ft THS with recent changes to the amount of reverse oil to help calm down the early hook that the center's lane panels have, I first found it quite challenging on the fresh to develop a good clean look, a little earlier hook then I was expecting, but once the pattern started to develop a little push of oil down lane, the overall performance of the ball became quite amazing. This would be a great addition to anyone’s bag! Very Predictable. For me this ball would fit in between the 900 Global Altered Reality and the Wolverine. On the fresh I found that using a 3000 abralon pad to knock the shine off the cover and it is very user friendly from game one through game 3. Leaving room for a whippy change of direction down-lane. It’s a tad weaker cover and allows for a clean entry angle through the fronts. The role of the Dark Code is to roll a bit smoother and save energy with that R2X Cover. Like some I went into the first few fresh shots, thinking of the Code series of balls and I feel that is a slight mistake. Seemed like for me the ball was hit and miss on fresh until the lane developed more. ![]() ![]() In my first initial thoughts, I felt like it would be a great game 2 or game 3 ball when rolling it. A lot has changed but not the motion you get out of them. You see it’s been 10 years since I have actually thrown the SPI products. The Dark Code was one of a few I was able to test out in my initial looks at the 2020-2022 Storm Products.
