The Parallax is more controllable than the Astro Physix in the mid lane and on the backend. The Omega Crux might stand up a little quicker than the Parallax but the hitting power of the Parallax is unbelievable. The Parallax has more continuation on the backend than the Omega Crux. The Storm Parallax fits into the Premier line perfectly. Use the Parallax on the right lane conditions, and it will be a fantastic ball! Thank you for reading my review of the Storm Parallax. I would recommend using the Parallax on lanes that have cleaner backends, and are more on the medium side with the volumes and lengths. The Parallax is a unique ball in that it introduces the consumer to the Aeroflow core. Comparing all the different surfaces, the Parallax rolled best at the box finish using it on the right conditions to make it successful. Adding even more surface, the Parallax looked great with a green scotch brite pad on higher volumes of oil, but lane shined a bit too quickly to want to keep at this low of a grit for heavier oil. Trying to find a little more pattern coverage, I sanded the Parallax with a slightly used 2000 grit abralon pad, and lost some of the backend pop and got the ball to slow down sooner making the ball's reaction just a bit too lazy. With these conditions, the Parallax rolls great, and has a very high carry percentage, even when not hitting the pocket perfectly flush. The pattern had to be of a medium volume, with fresh backends, and around 37-41 feet in length. I found the Parallax useful on very specific lane conditions. Out of the box, the Parallax has a defined move off the spot, with a sideways but forward roll toward the pins (hockey stick type shape). I drilled the Parallax using the Storm VLS system, with a 4.5 X 3 X 4 layout. The color combination of marine, steel, and black make for a very attractive ball. The cover on the Parallax is called Traxion X7 hybrid and comes from the factory polished to a 1500 grit finish. The Parallax uses the all new Aeroflow core which has a void that allows for lighter material to “flow through” the core which produces an Rg of 2.52, and differential of 0.054, and an intermediate differential of 0.019 in 15lb balls. Cranker started near 30 with his laydown point, crossing between the third and fourth arrows while using board 10 as his breakpoint.The Parallax is the latest high end asymmetrical ball in the premier line from Storm, the Bowler's Company. He started his ball on board 15 off his hand, crossing 11 at the arrows and using eight as his breakpoint. Stroker saw a difference in shape, but he lined up almost on top of where he was playing this pattern with the Phaze II. The quicker response to the friction is not surprising from the polished hybrid cover, but the testers were pleasantly surprised with the amount of total hook this ball creates.Īll three testers saw the best reaction on the fresh medium oil pattern. The Phaze III’s R3S Hybrid coverstock from the Intense Fire comes out of the box at a 1500 grit polished finish to push this ball farther down the lane than the Phaze II, while offering a bigger and stronger move off the dry. The low RG, high differential Velocity core design is identical in the three Phaze bowling balls. The Phaze II is loved for its versatility, especially on tougher lane conditions, and the Phaze III’s motion complements it nicely. The Phaze III is the highly anticipated follow-up to the popular Phaze II in Storm’s Master line.
