The Storm Next Factor bowling ball revives one of the most iconic names in Storm history, re-imagined for today’s modern lane environments. Inspired by the original X-Factor, this high-performance asymmetric pearl delivers clean front-lane motion, explosive backend flip, and relentless continuation through the pins.

Designed for medium to medium-heavy oil conditions, the Next Factor blends nostalgic skid-flip motion with advanced materials and modern performance technology. It’s built for bowlers who want to open their angles, create sharper entry angles into the pocket, and maximize pin carry without sacrificing control.

This is a true power pearl — engineered for dynamic backend motion while remaining stable enough to handle transition.

Coverstock

The R3S Pearl Reactive coverstock is strategically positioned between R2S and TX-16 in overall traction. It provides clean midlane travel with a defined, angular response to friction.

This balanced pearl formulation offers easy length with controlled flip, making it ideal for medium to medium-heavy oil patterns where bowlers need strong backend motion without unpredictable overreaction.

Core

The RAD-TQ Asymmetric Core is a modern evolution of the original Radical Accelerating Disk (RAD) design. Featuring high RG, high differential, and moderate PSA strength, it promotes easy length while storing energy for a decisive, powerful move at the breakpoint.

This asymmetric design produces the signature skid-flip reaction that made the original X-Factor legendary — now optimized for higher-friction surfaces and contemporary ball speeds and rev rates.
