Heavy Oil Conditions
The new Crusher is a strong asymmetric ball that the Ebonite line has been missing, and it is not afraid of oil. The Crusher has a low RG, high differential, and a strong intermediate differential, which translates into a strong roll, lots of flare, and great continuation. The core, along with Optimize Hybrid cover and a dull 2000-grit Siaair finish, makes the Crusher an excellent choice to combat heavy oil conditions.
The throwback balls for Columbia 300 continue to bring performance to the lanes that capture the attention of the bowlers. Columbia 300 has worked hard with every throwback release to use attributes from the balls that made them successful in their era and infuse new technology to make them leading products in today’s environment. The Cuda line is a great example. We started with a similar core shape as the original Cuda/C, and we replaced the non-drillable ceramic nugget with PowerCOR for the same results but in a driller-friendly version. The major upgrade to the line has been the coverstock technology, and the Super Cuda PowerCOR uses Formula 1 Hybrid. This cover was chosen because of its strength in oil and how it provides Columbia 300 with a motion unlike anything else in the current line.

Introducing the ice-cold devastation of the new Subzero Forge.

The outcome is inevitable: pins left shattered and your competition frozen in fear. Embrace the cold and conquer the lanes with the Subzero Forge.
At the heart of the Subzero Forge is the Detonator core, a formidable combination of low RG and high differential. This dynamic duo offers unparalleled control and traction. The fast-spinning low RG provides unparalleled control, while the high differential delivers the raw strength needed to plow through the heaviest oil like a glacier carving its path. The Detonator is a proven winner, relentless on higher volumes of oil.

This isn't just another coverstock; it's an incredibly strong surface that maintains its texture longer than any before. You'll feel the ice-cold precision of the Evoke, but with an updated ferocity that true MOTIV enthusiasts will recognize as the Forge Flare’s fierce evolution.
ong Anticipated Combination!
The Stealth balls have filled a big gap and have been extremely effective when a symmetric bigger core ball is needed, and bowlers have been very successful with the Stealth balls. Adding a Stealth Hybrid to the line should be no surprise; the solid and pearl were exceptional, and combining the two has been long anticipated. The new Stealth Hybrid is shiny, just as the pearl version was, and the combination of a hybrid HK22-Prime Response cover and the Stealth core design makes this a great ball when there is still some oil on the lane and bowlers need good length and recovery.
The Summit Ascent is designed for forgiveness, helping bowlers ascend to the top and achieve peak performance. Experience seamless transitions from skid to hook to roll as the Summit Ascent’s strong backend ensures a predictable yet potent arc, minimizing surprises and maximizing consistency shot after shot. With Storm’s renowned R2S Solid at 4000-grit Abralon®, this ball strikes the perfect balance between grip and glide, providing enhanced command over both the length and shape of your shots. Usually, the solid hooks the soonest in a line, but with the R2S cover at 4000, this ball is unique and cleaner than a normal solid. Featuring a brand-new scent, Cream Soda, the Summit Ascent is ready to help you reach your personal summit of success in bowling.

The S.H.A.R.P. Hybrid is the next generation to the very popular S.H.A.R.P. cover used in the Incognito line. This new chemistry reflects the advancements our chemists have made in setting new levels in coverstock performance. We found that this new formula, combined with the very popular Rattler core, delivers a strong benchmark performance. Compared to the Deadly Rattler, you can expect a stronger mid-lane motion and more overall hook.
The Hitter Pearl is an extension of the very successful Hitter line. The original Hitter used a derivative of the HK22 Solid cover called the Utility cover. The Hitter Pearl takes the performance to the next level with the use of this HK22 base called HK22 Utility Pearl. This cover and core combination yields a cleaner motion and a significant increase in backend reaction. Where the original Hitter had more mid-lane motion, The Hitter Pearl is cleaner and sharper down-lane, making it a perfect complement to the original Hitter.
As seen on… nope, wait a minute. You have probably seen this… nada, nope, wait just one minute. Truth is, YOU’VE NEVER SEEN A VERSION LIKE THIS! For all of you keeping score at home this marks the very first time in the domestic market we have released an IDOL series ball featuring our MicroTrax Pearl coverstock. Yes, you read that correctly. Never in the history of ever have we matched our nanoparticle pearl coverstock on this legendary core shape. Why you ask? That’s a good question. But that’s neither here nor there. The time was right, and that time is now! We felt following up the original solid with a pearl that provides the optimum traction footprint in oil while providing plenty of responsiveness down lane was exactly what the world needed. It’s ok, you can thank us later.
