Comparing the Extreme Solid and Pearl is fairly straightforward with a couple of nuances in general. As mentioned previously, these balls are not designed for going sideways.

Today I want to compare the Roto Grip UFO to the Motiv Alpha Jackal. This is like the clash of the titans. Both balls are the theoretical strongest balls in their respective lineups. Both use probably the strongest solid cover each brand has had. Core specs are very similar. Differentials are identical at 15lb. Intermediate … Continue reading Roto Grip UFO vs Motiv Alpha Jackal Bowling Ball Comparison
Let’s spend a bit of time comparing the UFO to the Halo Vision. The UFO has a new core which has a very different shape from the Halo. The light bulb like ET vs the blocky Centrum.

I frequently mention that I typically like to “crack the factory polish” on many out of the box polished balls. This is not an exclusive thing to Storm just to be clear.
