Storm DNA Review

The next big hook monster is the DNA. Featuring a new cover/core combination we see a strong low RG asym that doesn't quit. I am beyond impressed with this ball and think it will be the next big thing and go down in Storm's history as one of the most popular asym solids of all time. Think of your Alpha Crux, Sure Lock and Code X level of popularity and this is where I believe the DNA will be in line with. I have thrown this ball a few times and am impressed with how much it continues even as the lanes transition forcing myself deeper and deeper into the lane. Historically, these bigger solids tend to quit as we see a lot of transition although I have yet to see that with the DNA. In league, I have been able to throw it all the way until the end of the night and it continues as well as it did in game 1. This ball will be very versatile and adjust well to different surface changes. This will be great for a variety of lane conditions as well.

Dual Angle Layout: 55 x 3 x 70 Storm Vector Layout: 3 x 5 1/8 x 2 ¾ 300 game one out of the box and fresh off the press. The DNA is strong in the mid lane and continuous on the back end. Out of the box surface rolls similar to the Super Nova but a bit cleaner. I love the way this ball reads the lane in the oil. Haven’t thrown it on a patter yet but I would imagine this ball will be a staple on tour this season. Can’t wait to see how good it is with a bit of lane shine, thinking it only gets better from here. This ball may be my go-to ball on the fresh for quite a while. Bonus point for the scent, this ball smells good, only 2nd to the new IQ Ruby.

The Storm DNA features the EXO Solid cover, the Supercoil Core, and comes at a 2000-grit surface. The DNA is the newest solid ball in Storm’s lineup. The first time I threw this ball I was thinking it was going to hook at my feet but I was surprised at how well it got through the fronts. It has plenty of shape down lane once it sees the friction. I compared the DNA to the SuperNova and Reality. For me, this ball sits in between them. The Reality was earlier and stronger off the spot while the SuperNova was longer and a bit smoother off the friction. I think it will fit well when the Reality and Gem are too much ball but you need a solid that is a touch weaker. Another great addition to the Storm catalog. Tobias Myers #StormNation

Storm’s newest premier line ball is the DNA of what they stand for. This ball features a brand new cover and core combination, starting with the Supercoil weight block that yields an RG of 2.47, Differential of 0.053 and PSA of 0.023 and is wrapped around the EXO Solid coverstock. I drilled mine 5.5 x 5 x 5 and when I first got this ball I was super excited for it because I have had such success with the Proton Physix and Super Nova. Looking at the numbers I thought this ball would be as early and kinda lazy on the back like the Roto Grip Gem was but after throwing this ball for a little bit I was shocked on how much this ball actually continued on the backend. I would say its more of a stronger/earlier version of the 900 Global Reality more than the previous balls I mentioned. I can see myself using this ball as a number #2 ball right after my Proton or Super Nova because its going to be just as strong but offer me a touch more continuation and before balls like the Zen Soul and Eternity. If you feel like solid asymmetrical balls haven’t matched up to your game because they are just too strong but still want to give it a try your going to want to grab a DNA because it gives you the best of both worlds.

Cover: EXO Solid Reactive Core: Supercoil RG: 2.47 RG. Diff.: 0.053 Finish: 2000-Grit Abralon Fragrance: Strawberry Short Cake Storm’s new DNA is an Asymmetrical Solid piece that is good for Medium-Heavy conditions. PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 400. Speed: 16.5. Drilled this piece with the Pin up between the fingers and CG kicked out 1” from the palm and 1/2” Above of the Mass Bias. Out of Box ball motion starts in the mid lane with a smooth motion on the backend. I took a 2k and 3k Abralon afterwards and it was still started in the mid lane with a few boards more on the backend motion. I compared this to the Storm Super Nova & IQ Tour. Storm Super Nova cleaner through the fronts and is 2-3 stronger. IQ Tour was a similar line but stronger on the backend. If you are looking for an Asym Solid that gets length and smooth backend this is the piece to have in the bag.

Storm DNA Coverstock: EXO Solid Reactive Core: Supercoil Factory Finish: 2000 grit Layout: 5 x 4 x 4 Storm’s new Premier line ball is the DNA. I drilled my DNA exactly like my Infinite Physix with a 5 x 4 x 4 layout putting the pin in my middle finger. After some practice, use in league, and use on a 40 ft sport pattern, the DNA and Infinite seem to have similar overall hook potentials. The difference I see is in the covers, which were both at 2000 grit for comparison purposes. The new EXO Solid Reactive cover on the DNA seems to have a larger footprint and definitely bleeds off energy earlier than the Infinite. Although I hit the Infinite with 2000, its ReX Pearl cover seems cleaner and a touch quicker on the backend. I expect that the DNA will have more use on the fresh and as the fronts dry up and/or push a bit, the Infinite Physix will come into play. The DNA is going to be a perfect fit for rev challenged and/or speed dominant players. I also think it’s going to be great at blending lanes and controlling sport patterns.

Storm DNA ball review VLS layout 4 1/4 × 3 3/4 ×3 Coverstock: EXO Solid reactive Weightblock: Supercoil core Surface: 2000 grit Abralon I am always a fan of the big asymmetrical solids so I was exited for the release of the all new DNA. This is a strong ball that needs to see some oil. But when it does, it gives me that strong roll that I am looking for. I find it to be a little cleaner through the front of the lane than my Super Nova, with the DNA being more continuous through the back of the lane. Overall I can play similar parts of the lane with them, but with different shapes. I feel the DNA is unique among the solid asymmetrical balls in how it keeps its shape when I move left. Normally, I like this type of ball when my angles are straight but they tend turn burn up if I move left and throw to the friction. The DNA is more continuous from that spot, giving some recovery if I miss right into the dry, without using all its energy. This ball will be best for me on tighter patterns, but definitely will see use on medium ones where I want to keep the ball on a straighter angle. Overall I'm very happy with the way it rolls and plan to drill a fresh one for the upcoming trip to the Open Championship. Dave Adams Storm staff

The DNA has been a great addition to the bag. Often times, my Reality or Gem were too strong for the shot, but the step down was too weak. Well, this DNA has filled that slot. For me, it rolls like a stronger phaze 2, with it being a tad earlier and more hook overall. If you need a good first ball out of your bag on house, or a good 2nd ball on sport patterns, I'd give the DNA a shot!

For those that are looking for a similar motion to the Storm Proton Physix or the Super Nova will enjoy the DNA, which provides a new look for your bigger asym solids. At recent MatchMaker events the DNA has sparked bowling enthusiasts. For my review I left the 2000 Abralon factory finish on this ball. I was pleasantly surprised how much the DNA glided through the front part of the lane in comparison to the other balls I mentioned above. After a little lane shine built up on the DNA I was even more surprised and impressed with the results. One aspect I really liked about this ball is it didn't quit or get into the roll phase too early. I'm excited to use this ball on heavier to medium volume THS and some sport patterns. In comparison to my Super Nova where I took a fresh factory 2000 finish and hit the ball four sides with a new 4000 pad to get through the fronts better, the DNA surface did not require an adjustment. For me, my slower ball speed generally has me surfacing balls up slightly to clear the front part of the lane. If my situation is similar to you, you will notice in a few games your new solid will calm down from the oob finish. In regards to transition, I really enjoy what the DNA has to offer. The DNA allows a great deal of forgiveness and it is easy to see when you will need to make a change. The Super Nova along with the DNA make a nice one two punch if you desire a two ball combination out of a block of bowling on heavier volume patterns. Be sure to try out a DNA and fill that gap for fresh league and heavier volume tournament patterns. I'm definitely excited to use the DNA more in tournament competion.

hey y'all.... Stefanie Johnson here.... well I have thrown the Storm DNA enough to say that it's a MUST HAVE in my bag for tour season. I see this coming out of my bag on medium / higher volume patterns. It's very midlaney but yet super continuous. Really excited to WIN with it!

The new Storm DNA features the all new EXO solid reactive coverstock finished at 2000 grit abralon and the new Supercoil Asymmetric core. The 15 pound DNA has a low RG of 2.47 with a differential of .053 and an intermediate diff of .023. I drilled the DNA at my usual 5 x 4 x 2 for my slower ball speed and higher rev rate. I was a little skeptical at the release of another “big” asymmetrical, I mean how different could it be from the Super Nova, Nova, or previous releases. Well, this DNA is different. For me it is much more playable, and what I mean by that is I can throw this ball longer than previous asymmetricals if given enough oil. The DNA needs oil, that’s a given. However this isn’t just another big ball where once you need to open your angles, it needs to find its way back into your bag in favor of another ball. The DNA has more downlane motion than the Super Nova and Nova, probably due to the difference in the core. On errant shots to the right I could usually expect a weak ten pin with the Novas, but the DNA seems to have an extra gear that gets it not only back to the pocket but gets it to go through the pins the right way. Don’t misunderstand me, this isn’t a stand left, throw it right and watch it hockey stick back, but this ball does seem more forgiving on the heavy oil, longer patterns than most of its predecessors.

My new ball review on the Storm Bowling DNA. Layout: 55 x 2 1/2 x 35 at box condition of 2000 grit Abralon. Supercoil core with the new EXO solid reactive coverstock. Tested and used on older HPL and newer SPL at two local bowling centers, Colony Park Lanes and Hanover Bowling Centre. Practiced for over 2 hours with the DNA, the Storm iQ Ruby, and Roto Grip TNT. Was able to use the DNA on the fresh conditions and when I beat up the pattern with these three different balls. The Supercoil core is very potent when it comes to performance of getting the ball down the lane without pushing the ball too far down the lane. The new coverstock - EXO solid reactive is an intense solid reactive coverstock because of the chemical reaction when the material goes from a liquid form to a solid. The reaction is called: exotherm. For me the DNA was a HUGE step up from the other reactive solid I am currently using, the Roto Grip TNT, the motion off the pattern was stronger and bigger movement the TNT. The DNA did not quit on me at any point during my practice sessions and in league. I cannot believe this ball is this GOOD!. The surface has held up very well on the demo balls in the Storm Matchmaker set I have used over the past few months. Easy to keep clean and is a great choice for any level and style of bowlers out there. Please see your local pro shop for your new ball!

DNA is the new big solid asym in the Storm family. For me, this ball is in the same vein as the Reality. While being big, strong and early, both still manage to store energy and maintain a high carry percentage. The DNA is a touch cleaner and more dynamic overall, making it a great balance of control and continuation. DNA allows me to play more in the oil and create more traction and control, but i don't have to sacrifice any pin carry or throw a ball that is "slower". Overall, the DNA is quickly becoming my go-to big ball.

United States

User Specs: Left handed, 375 rev rate, 17mph speed, 45 degree angle of rotation, 7 degrees tilt Layout: 4 ¾ x 3 ½ x 3 ½ Keywords: INTENSE, COARSE, POTENT The DNA is the newest asymmetrical solid in Storm’s Premiere line. It features the new EXO coverstock that is now the strongest cover formula in production. The core is also new in the Supercoil, another single density core that’s nearly the strongest they make as well, even stronger than the core from the Gem and Exotic Gem. The core design also helps to retain most of the predrilled specs (for righties) due to a cutaway in the side, in addition to creating a heavy midlane roll for more control and stability. I tried using the DNA at the box surface of 2000 grit, but I’ve never had a ball hook less out of the box before. It seemed to be burning up on the first couple shots, but after 4 to 5 shots, like the Reacta Gloss balls it got slick, the oil wouldn’t absorb or wipe off without ball cleaner, and I decided to resurface it to 1000 on a resurfacing machine and then polish it with Storm’s Step 2. With my softer ball speed and heavier roll, I rarely use asyms to begin with, let alone super strong sanded solids, so a shinier surface was going to be the best option anyway. The result was night and day from out of the box, strong but extremely stable and controllable. Currently, the Reality Check and Rubicon UC3 are the only asyms in the SPI lines that are usable for me, the rest are too strong, too early, too sharp, too much torque, etc., but the DNA uses the asymmetry for midlane control and stability rather than for torque or shape so it reacts more like a super strong symmetric ball. The DNA has an INTENSE amount of midlane control, which makes moving around on the lane extremely easy because it does the same thing front to back in the same place regardless of where you’re at left to right. At a rougher surface, the COARSE finish helps it dig in and create traction to go along with the extreme strength of the core to create an incredibly POTENT ball reaction that will dig through the heaviest of oil volumes. For me, the DNA doesn’t overlap with any other big solid asym in any of our lines right now, it’s strong without being early or heavy rolling, and firm at the breakpoint without being sharp or jumpy. It really reminds me of the Alpha Crux, it’s fairly clean up front and then just rolls and rolls off the friction while maintaining the utmost amount of stability and control.

The newest addition to the Premier Line at Storm is the DNA. With new technology from our wizards at Storm, they’ve created the Supercoil weight block and wrapped it with the EXO solid coverstock. This provides an RG number of 2.47, differential of .053, and PSA of .023. What this means for the bowlers is an extremely strong asymmetrical ball that doesn’t quit down-lane. I’ve drilled two so far and have had a lot of success with both. The one I’ve used the most is mapped out as 5 x 3.5 x 3.5. This puts the pin below my bridge with a decent shift of the CG and the mass bias is below my thumb and to the right. When drilling this ball, my goal was to make it the strongest ball in my bag. By hand, I hit the DNA with 1000 pad to make the ball read sooner. On longer patterns or patterns with heavier volumes of oil, this DNA has been a slam dunk. I recently bowled a regional on a longer pattern and I was able to create a nice shape when sliding in the left gutter and getting it to 9/10 down lane. If you need a strong, asymmetric piece that won’t quit down lane, the Storm DNA should be the next ball you drill! #StormNation

Here is my opinion on the DNA. I hope it helps if your thinking of getting one. 1st I had mine drilled 4 3/4 x 4 x 2 3/4. All I can say I love the DNA in my hands! The 1st night, the ball right out of the box with the 2000-grit Abralon surface, no surface changes. I shoot 290 (with a 4 pin) 236-235 for a nice 761. This ball reads the lane SO WELL...from front to back. If you watch your ball all the way down the lane, this ball is very easy to read. This ball over the 900 Global Reality, it does hook more both mid lane and back end. This EXO Solid Reactive cover with the Supercoil core...its such a great rolling ball. I do enjoy having this ball in my hands, highly recommended. It does need oil though, especially the way mine is drilled. It has a spot in my bag for sure. It's nice to have a ball...lol, that you can work around other bowlers if you need to. You need a ball to get a little deeper, this ball rolls so well in the oil!

It features a brand new coarse cover stock called EXO solid. At it's box 2k finish this ball GRABS at the front of the lane. To complete the intense hooking power of this ball the new core Supercoil gives it a big motor on the inside too. The result is a ball made to conquer heavy oil. I first tested the DNA in league on the normal high volume house pattern. The front of the lane beds in my home center feature a lot of friction so the volume has been increased to counteract. The 43 ft of oil makes it a requirement to have a strong first ball out of the bag. The DNA's potent early hook is tailor made for this condition as it never seems to miss the front, so it can't get too far right down-lane the way so many other balls seem too. I was very impressed with the pin action I saw from the DNA. Of the other balls that I would put at the top of the hook potential list I would put it between the Gem and the Reality although much closer to the Gem. In-brand the best comparison would probably be the Proton Physix so it should work well as a replacement for people who miss that ball. Obviously people who are speed dominant/rev challenged are going to love this ball, but take it from a guy who's on the lower end of ball speed, the DNA is fantastic when the lanes are oily.

We tested the DNA following the state tournament team squad so probably not the best testing environment. However, the DNA showed signs of strength. The ball definitely rolled early and had a smooth overall ball reaction. I don’t feel the DNA was quite as early as the Gem, but was earlier than the Reality. Therefore, I feel the DNA falls in between those two iconic balls. Time will tell if the DNA produces the success those two balls have. Visit your local Storm VIP Pro Shop! #Stormnation #SquadRG

The New Storm DNA has the Exo Solid Coverstock and the Supercoil Core. When I got the DNA, it impressed me with the shape it made. A lot of midlane control and wasn’t too angular through the pins. When I compared it to my Absolute with the same layout, I saw that they both complimented eachother. Read the same part of the lane, just in fractionally different spots. While the DNA hooked earlier and more forward towards the pins, the Absolute read the spot more angular. I have very high hopes for this one and want to see a lot of success with the DNA!

Storm DNA VLS 5x3.75x3 I drilled this ball in mind for the wet/dry conditions I see at times during the second transition of league, obviously transition depends on so much, including who you bowl, lane topography etc. My 1st thought when I threw this ball was how easy it push thru the fronts but how strong it was in the mid lane and just continued with a crazy amount of energy retention. Basically the SUPERCOIL weight block revealed itself just like it was designed for, it allowed me to play straighter angles through the fronts when the lanes got wet dry. Usually we see wet dry is the ball will bounce off the friction and over hook and when we miss in the ball never slows down to go thru the pins correctly. The DNA gave me a little freedom to the right and it didn’t over hook it blended the lane and when I missed in due to the bigger weight block and cover it cut through the carry down like butter! This is exactly what I wanted to see with this layout to try and match up the characteristics of the Specs of the DNA. This to me is like a PHAZE II on steroids!

United States

Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck…not a duck No seriously, The DNA looks like a Phaze2, Rolls like an Asym. Phaze2…Definitely NOT a Phaze2. The DNA has the all new combo of the Exo solid Cover and the Supercoil core. This ball defines smooth, predictable, hard hitting. The pins seem to stay low all the way through the pin deck. As long as the lanes aren’t hooking too much in the front, This ball is such a great benchmark ball. I know exactly where I need to go after this ball starts burning up in the fronts, which seems to be the typical thing for it to do. I actually smoothed the cover to a light 4000, just so I could stay in it a bit longer! This one should not be passed up! I used my typical pin up layout: 5x4x2 Balls getting a lot of play Infinite Physix: 5x4x2 Eternity: 5x4x2 Phaze4: 5x4x2 Fate: 5x4x2

United States

Layout: 60 x 4 5/8 x 35 The biggest compliment that I can give the DNA is that it rolls like a stronger, beef-ed up Phaze II. Indeed, I see a similar motion between the two, with the DNA being 2-3 boards stronger overall. Even though this ball is a touch cleaner in the front part of the lane than the Gem or Super Nova, it can still handle any heavy or fresh oil conditions. The DNA has a massive amount of midlane roll without detracting from its entry angle. The DNA fits perfectly between balls such as the aforementioned Gem or Super Nova, and the strong shiny asyms such as the Exotic Gem or Absolute.

United States

It’s in our DNA. The all new DNA is a brand new ball with a brand new cover and core combination that we have never seen. The all new Supercoil weight block was developed to create a super low RG shape with a greater undrilled intermediate differential. This combined with the new “Exotherm” coverstock that will give you the traction that you are looking for in a strong asymmetric bowling ball. I have seen a lot of great things out of this ball so far. For me this ball is stronger and quicker off the spot than a ball like the Reality. I find myself using this ball early in blocks and/or on longer or high volume oil patterns. Make sure you go out and get yours today. Layout: 40 x 5 ⅜ x 25

I was SUPER impressed by the Storm DNA. Coming off a high end release that I got to use a ton in the Super Nova I was excited to get something a little bit different in the DNA. I drilled it with a stronger 4 inch pin placement and this ball never disappointed no matter when I took it out of the bag. On the tougher oil patterns it dug through and turned the corner and on the house shots during the week it let me keep everything in front of me and wasn’t afraid that if I upped my ball speed it would get past the break point. I drilled a fresh one for some upcoming summer tournaments and I’m excited to get it started even sooner.

The new solid Asymmetrical ball in the premier line is the DNA. The DNA has a brand new Supercoil weight block and wrapped it with the EXO solid coverstock. I'm normally not a big fan of big strong Aysm. solids as they just don't match up with my ball roll. But the DNA is an exception, as for solid the DNA has a lot of motion downlane! I drilled mine with a 4.25 inch pin up. I used the DNA first on the house pattern, and was very impressed. The DNA got down the lane better than expected and had a lot of backend motion. The DNA handle the puddle with ease and it didn't quit or labor when it hit the dry outside boards. I have used the DNA with Storm Step 2 and while bowling on sport patterns I have added 2000 pad to help the ball motion with good success. I have the DNA below the Reality and Gem, but to me it rolls like a beefed up Phaze 2. Its not flippy at all, but just a strong rolling arc. Really a different motion in the SPI line. Great Addition!

I drilled 2 DNA’s. (5 x 4 x 2 ¾) and (5 x 4 x 4) Both reactions are similar, but the pin up one rolls more forward down lane which is good on more oil and the pin down one is good when the lanes are a little drier. I don’t use the DNAs on Fresh, I use them when I move left and need the ball to slow down in oil. Most of the sport conditions I bowl on are flatter in the middle when moving left, so I use the pin down DNA to control the Midlane. I have never used the ALPHA Crux, but it feels like this is a similar shape but with more down lane. Compared to the Super Nova, the DNAs over all hook less which is not always a bad when needing an asymmetrical ball to be controlled. The colors are like the Phaze 2, so it is sometimes hard to see which bowling ball is being used, but overall, it is a staple ball in my bag.

For me the DNA has been a really good step above a Phaze ll. Once it got a little bit of lane shine on it which happened pretty quickly it immediately gave me Phaze ll vibes. Although the DNA is crazy strong cover and core wise as soon as it lane shined it was getting down-lane just like a Phaze ll would for me but the only difference was the DNA is a touch more forward but not a lot! I also enjoy it a lot when I put it back to 3000 or even 2-1000. Then it becomes a comparable option to a reality for me. Overall for a ball of this strength it can still be pretty clean and can still open a lane up pretty well!

I am a higher speed, rev challenged 220-250ish, high tilt, high rotation, and super low track player, I drilled my Storm DNA 5x3x2 using the Storm VLS and my axis point is 3 ¼ right and 7/8 up. The Storm DNA is a very strong asymmetric ball that reads the midlane well and has continuation through the pins. However, I did drill a 14lbs ball equating to a higher RG and smaller diff, which does not serve me well. If I were to drill another ball I would consider drilling a 15lbs ball, so I can get the benefits of the lower RG and bigger Diff. Overall, the ball is responsive and I see myself using this on heavier to medium volumes of oil. My YouTube video of the ball can be found at: https://youtu.be/HBRwxdeByaE

This ball really has movement. I love it because I normally don’t throw with a lot of revs and it gives me a ton of action on the lanes.

This is my new favorite ball. First night shot an 847! Followed that up with an 808 for the late night league! Great predictability,

I was looking for something stronger and this fit perfectly. This is the first ball out of the bag during league. Drilled it 5•4•3 witch gives me an early strong smooth arc with lots of control. Bowled a 268 with it Thursday night. I'm very happy with its performance. Balls in the bag DNA•Absolute•ZenSoul•Phase4•Ice

Daughter loves this ball. Almost shot her first 700 with it a few weeks ago. Her go to ball right now but she was going up in weight so had to get one before they were all gone. Too bad they aren’t making them anymore.

A strong continuous ball motion that isn’t finicky with carry-down on the back-end. Mine is drilled no thumb in the 4/4/4 neighborhood, my pin to pap is 5&13/16” over, 16-17 mph and 500 rpm. The motion will be smooth, predictable, not too bitey yet not prone to 2-10 or washout families, and good carry. Threw 237 with it out of the box on 2023 Dragon throwing cross-lane. Also viable on house shots. Definitely a mainstay in my arsenal. It’s too bad this ball is retired. Definitely worth the money, pick one up while you still can if you need something strong and continuous for heavy/long oil in your arsenal.
