The Ignition Core’s dynamic shape forms elongated imbalance that visibly stretches from top to bottom on all four sides. The Big Gate allows you to stay straighter longer without over-reacting when the lanes begin to break down so that you can stay ahead of the transition. The gleaming 1500-grit polished R3S Pearl coverstock gets the Big Gate through the front part of the lane with ease and is engineered to do just that: minimize traction in the heads and maximize grip down lane!

R3S Pearl Coverstock
Type
Pearl Reactive

R3S is the third generation of Storm’s flagship coverstock: Reactor cover material. This shell has a measurable porosity that is higher than its predecessor. This increased porosity reads the lane slightly sooner than Reactor or R2S and smooths out the overall reaction. Blending out lane transition is one of R3S’s best features.

Weight blocks like the Ignition Core rev up fast and finish strong with a more aggressive movement down lane. Need some extra oomph? Then look no further. The Ignition Core pumps out more than 6” of loaded flare potential! That’s more than enough differential to amp your adrenaline levels.
