Translated from Japanese:

The second in the Absolute series.

The coverstock is made of oil-resistant pearl material to enhance the stability of the trajectory.

Created with a single specific gravity, the unique shape of the "Sentinel ™ Core" gives it a straight trajectory in front of the lane, creating a constant change of course and persistence from the middle to the end of the lane.

The bend of the backend is a strong-arc trajectory that goes close to the pin, and it bends smoothly with high rotational force.

Even after hitting the pin, the trajectory does not shift, causing a strong pin action.

It is also ideal for bowlers with low rotation speeds, and is finished in a product that can handle a wide range of lane conditions.

In most cases, an extra slug, or weighted disk, is needed to create enhanced dynamics, but the evenly weighted masses at both ends of the Sentinel Core upgrades this effect more than a single slug ever could. This ensures the Absolute will change direction and continue through the pins better and more consistently. This is the first single-density asymmetric core in the Storm line since the Lucid. The R&D team has also reduced the amount of weight block mass near the area where the thumb hole is typically placed. The inward angled edges increase the intermediate differential prior to drilling and allows the dynamic integrity to be preserved after drilling because the thumb hole misses the weight block. The extra intermediate differential makes the Absolute respond to friction on the lane more effectively and won’t miss the spot.
