Storm Pitch Black 78 Urethane Bowling Ball
The Storm Pitch Black 78 brings a new generation of urethane performance to the lanes, featuring the Stabilyze™ Solid Urethane coverstock and proven Capacitor™ Core.
Designed to create early friction while offering greater versatility in ball motion, the Stabilyze coverstock features increased elasticity that allows bowlers to shape their shots more effectively than previous urethane iterations.
The Capacitor Core produces medium-low flare, helping the ball stay on line longer while maintaining a controlled, predictable reaction. Finished at 1000-grit Abralon, the Pitch Black 78 offers reliable control for bowlers seeking a smooth urethane reaction.
Classification note: Mid Performance is my recommended retail category. Storm's technical sheet does not specify a performance tier or exact lane-condition range. The lane-condition recommendation is inferred from the ball's urethane construction and design intent.
