Core – Asymmetric Performance, Multi-purpose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Storm Ion Pro Pearl features the Element Tour A.I. Core, a midweight asymmetric weight block that delivers a stable, controlled reaction with consistent continuation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Element Tour A.I. Core is a low RG ball with a mid differential of 0.035 and a PSA differential of 0.014, combined with a 15-lb RG of 2.47, giving a manageable but responsive ball flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow RG allows the ball to get into its rotational motion efficiently and the moderate differential helps balance track flare with overall hook potential. The asymmetrical design provides versatility in drilling and supports a defined response down-hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorm developed this core to respond well to changes in ball speed and hand position so that bowlers have the ability to change their approach to adapting to changing lane conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are a bowler looking for an asymmetric ball with medium flare potential and predictable backend motion, the Element Tour A.I.

Core to make a powerful, confident push down lane and maintain a predictable overall shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis balance makes the Ion Pro Pearl especially valuable as stronger bowling balls start to read the lane too early or become too responsive as oil conditions change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coverstock helps to retain energy throughout the front part of the lane so the ball can create a strong back-end reaction without sacrificing the control that makes the Ion Pro Series so successful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ion Pro Pearl is a versatile and high-performing controlled pearl reactive bowling ball that is a strong backend for bowlers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e4,000-Grit Abralon Finish – Smooth Finish, Defined Backend\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ion Pro Pearl is factory finished with a 4000 grit Abralon finish so it’s already smooth without polishing compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Storm, this is the smoothest surface preparation the company can produce without using polish or compound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory finish works well with the NRG Pearl Reactive coverstock to create a controlled reaction, yet still be able to confidently respond to friction downlane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ion Pro Pearl is designed to give a more balanced motion with an aggressive but controllable backend as opposed to the very polished pearl bowling balls that can give a more abrupt change of direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface characteristics make it a good option for bowlers who want the benefits of a pearl reactive coverstock but don't want an overly angular reaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerformance Level: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discountbowlingsupply.com\/collections\/high-performance-bowling-balls\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"High Performance Balls\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHigh Performance\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bowlersparadise.com\/collections\/high-performance-bowling-balls\" title=\"High Performance Balls\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Amethyst Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore: Element Tour A.I.
