The Storm NeXt Factor is a modern throwback to one of the asymmetric weight blocks that helped put Storm on the map. The RAD-TQ core closely mirrors the legendary X-Factor introduced in 2002, combining high RG, high differential and a relatively conservative PSA strength. (High RG – high differential – controlled PSA)
This core design allows the ball to ignore the front part of the lane and store energy for one of the most aggressive, angular backend motions Storm has ever produced. The R3S coverstock—positioned between R2S and TX-16—enhances this shape with a rare blend of control and angularity. (Clean fronts – extreme backend – R3S cover)
The NeXt Factor excels when opening up the lane becomes necessary, delivering explosive backend recovery while maintaining consistency and confidence through the pins. (Open angles – angular shape – strong backend)
