In order for the new Marvel to live up to its name, we used the reputable R2Xcoverstock, a strong solid reactive blend made famous on the original Virtual Gravity. With the chosen 2000-grit Abralon finish, R2X manages the midlane like a champ, and if you listen to Norm Duke's interviews you will hear him talk about “transition” and “break point.” These key points are DIRECTLY related to the surface of the ball, the most critical part as it actually touches the lane! Looking inside the new Marvel, the Centripetal core's unique shape has several advantages for both ball driller and bowler. Pro shops love the fact that this core produces similar motion with a variety of layouts. At the same time, bowlers love the fast-revving, low RG design that creates more total ball motion.

R2X Solid Coverstock
Type
Solid Reactive

Slightly more aggressive than the famed R2S coverstock material, the R2X is right in the middle of Storm’s reactivity chart. It is the perfect balance of porosity and durably. It doesn’t grab too early, but doesn’t go too long either. Its versatility can benefit numerous bowlers of various styles.

Centripetal Core
Storm Centripetal Core

Custom-engineered for the player who desires low, stable spin with forgiveness, the Centripetal Core features a center of gravity that is extremely low. The innovative cascading channels engage the circumference of the weight block and maximize mid-lane control with a smoother change of direction downlane.
