The Summit Ascent is designed for forgiveness, helping bowlers ascend to the top and achieve peak performance. Experience seamless transitions from skid to hook to roll as the Summit Ascent’s strong backend ensures a predictable yet potent arc, minimizing surprises and maximizing consistency shot after shot. With Storm’s renowned R2S Solid at 4000-grit Abralon®, this ball strikes the perfect balance between grip and glide, providing enhanced command over both the length and shape of your shots. Usually, the solid hooks the soonest in a line, but with the R2S cover at 4000, this ball is unique and cleaner than a normal solid. Featuring a brand-new scent, Cream Soda, the Summit Ascent is ready to help you reach your personal summit of success in bowling.

Summit Ascent is a Banger!
Storm Summit Ascent Cover Stock: R2S Solid Finish: 4000 Grit Abralon Core: Centripetal HD A.I. (14pd) RG: 2.46 Differential: 0.056 Layout: 5 x 4 x 3 1/2 - 2LS Layout Extras: 2 1/2" Finger Depth, "X" - 4 1/2 D and 1 Inch Left Tester: PAP 6 1/2 R, 1 1/4 D Review: The Storm Summit Ascent features the Centripetal HD weight block and is paired with the newer Amplified Inertia outer core. What this means to the bowler is more length and more motion off the spot. Compared to the original Summit you can anticipate more length with the R2S coverstock in this offering. Something that folks may not be aware of is the RG and Differential values are the same for 14 to 16 pounds in the Summit Ascent. For my review, I rolled the Summit Ascent at the OOB 4000 Abralon finish. Also, I prepped a Summit Peak with a 3K Abralon by hand for comparison purposes. The Summit Ascent and the Summit have a 5 x 4 x 3 1/2 - 2LS and 5 x 4 x 4 - 2LS layout applied. Basically, both are very close. My Summit Peak I changed the layout a bit and went with a 2 x 6 x 5 - 2LS and also drilled the fingers a touch deeper to get through the fronts a little bit more on your typical THS patterns. In comparing the Summit Ascent to the original Summit and the Summit Peak I was pleased the Summit Ascent went through the front part of the lane a bit easier for me. As a slower two-handed player the Summit is a higher volume sport pattern ball for me. The Summit Peak OOB Reacta Gloss finish definitely increased length. The Summit Ascent with R2S increased length as well, but provides a touch more control compared to the Peak. I will say to the eye the A.I. technology does benefit on light hits. I had a few balls that carried when missing right a touch. You will see this when the video comparison is posted. Also, for me, I left my Summit Ascent at the 4K OOB finish and I am very satisfied with it.
