Details

The Next Factor brings one of Storm’s most iconic ball lines into the modern era. First introduced in 2002, the X-Factor quickly became synonymous with explosive backend motion and the unmistakable skid-flip reaction that defined an entire generation of Storm performance. Now, more than twenty years later, our Innovation Team—led by CTO Hank Boomershine—has reimagined that legacy for today’s game.

This new iteration blends Storm’s high-tech heritage with the advancements bowlers expect from our strongest modern releases. Clean through the front, dynamic at the breakpoint, and relentless through the pins, the Next Factor is built for when you’re ready to open up your angles and let your ball do the talking. It’s a revival with purpose—honoring the past while pushing performance into the future.

Reviews

For high friction lanes only!

I recently had a PSO put me into the Next Factor. He almost chose a RST Hyperdrive Pearl first, and I wish he had. The Next Factor is an interesting ball, but if you don't bowl on high friction lanes, you might be stuck with a very expensive spare ball. At his high friction alley, this thing was cool, but at my low friction home alley, this thing rolls straight and weak. I think he drilled it weak, too, which gives me little to work with at my home alley. The berry scent is extremely intense on this one. My house and car smell of candy-like berries. It gets annoying. I know that this review sounds negative. I think that this ball could be awesome for the right bowler and conditions. I imagine we'll see a lot of 5 star reviews from those individuals.
