Storm Phaze 2 Is The GREATEST BOWLING BALL OF ALL TIME! 300 Alert! GOAT!

Storm Phaze 2 Performance Test

The Storm Phaze 2 has been in competitive bowling bags since 2016. Few balls that age still earn that spot — and fewer deserve it. The Velocity Core's low RG and high differential produce one of the strongest symmetric ball motions Storm has ever built. This is THE benchmark.

Performance Analysis

Performance Analysis

There’s a reason the Phaze 2 is still in production nearly a decade after release. The Velocity Core’s low 2.48 RG combined with a .051 differential creates a ball motion that is both powerful and predictable — the definition of a benchmark. The TX-16 Solid Reactive coverstock at 3000 grit reads the midlane early enough to create a strong, arcing motion without being uncontrollable.

In our lab testing, the Phaze 2 consistently delivered the most repeatable motion of any symmetric ball we’ve tested. It doesn’t have the flash of newer releases, but it has something more valuable: reliability. Frame after frame, game after game, this ball hits the same spot with the same motion.

Who Is This Ball For?

Everyone. Seriously. The Phaze 2 is the ball that every competitive bowler should have in their bag. Beginners benefit from its predictable motion and easy-to-read ball path. Advanced bowlers use it as the benchmark — the ball they compare everything else to. At $149.95, it’s also one of the best values in high-performance bowling. If you own one ball for league, this is it.

I love this ball! And should have purchased it a long time ago. The delivery is smooth & very predictable. All I do is aim and let the ball work.

I have several friends who bowl with the Phaze II, and they all love them. I was looking to upgrade from a weaker ball so I chose the Phaze II. I’ve been delighted with it!!! It’s a great ball and handles nicely. I tried to find this ball at other online retailers but it’s not easy to find. The ones that had it were mostly overpriced. BowlersMart came through.
