Nearly a decade after its release, it is still one of the most trusted symmetric benchmark balls in the sport, proof that a great core and cover combination never goes out of style.\n\nThe Phaze II pairs the symmetric Velocity Core with Storm's TX-16 Solid Reactive coverstock at a 3000-grit finish. The result is a strong, controllable, endlessly readable motion for medium to medium-heavy oil, the kind of dependable shape that has kept the Phaze II in arsenals for years.\n\nUnderstanding the Storm Velocity Core and Storm TX-16 Solid Reactive\n\nStorm built the Phaze II to be a strong, readable benchmark. Specifically, the symmetric Velocity Core revs up cleanly and reads the lane predictably with strong flare, while the TX-16 Solid cover at a 3000-grit finish grabs the mid-lane for traction and continues smoothly to the pocket. As a result, it delivers a powerful but controllable shape that handles medium to medium-heavy oil and repeats shot after shot, exactly why it has lasted so long. The full per-weight specifications are listed below.\n\nA Strong, Readable Symmetric Core That Has Stood the Test of Time\n\nAt the heart of the Phaze II is the symmetric Velocity Core. At 15 lb it measures RG 2.48 and a strong .051 differential, numbers that produce heavy flare and a powerful but readable motion. As a symmetric core, it reads the lane predictably and repeats the same shape shot after shot, giving you strong hook with the control and forgiveness of a true benchmark.\n\nThat blend of strength and control is why the Velocity Core has lasted nearly a decade. The high differential delivers the flare to clear medium-heavy oil, while the symmetric design keeps the reaction smooth and repeatable. It is a strong ball that stays easy to read, the foundation of one of Storm's most enduring releases.\n\nA Strong Solid Cover for an Honest, Traction-First Read\n\nThe Phaze II wraps that core in Storm's TX-16 Solid Reactive coverstock at a 3000-grit finish. The TX-16 solid reads the mid-lane honestly and grabs the oil for strong traction, then continues to the pocket rather than snapping. The 3000-grit surface keeps the read clean and even while still providing plenty of grip.\n\nThat strong, controllable read is what makes the Phaze II such a dependable benchmark on medium to medium-heavy oil. It tells you what the lane is doing without overreacting, so you can trust it shot after shot. Leave it at the 3000-grit box surface for the classic Phaze II read, or adjust the surface at your pro shop for more or less traction.\n\nPhaze II Specs\n\nRG and differential vary by weight. Specifications provided by the manufacturer.\n\nWho This Ball Is Right For\n\n✓Tournament Players: A strong, readable symmetric benchmark that handles medium-heavy oil and holds up through transition\n\n✓League Bowlers: A powerful but controllable shape, ideal as the first strong ball out of the bag on house oil\n\n✓Higher-Rev Bowlers: The strong Velocity core rewards revs with heavy flare and a continuous, controllable backend\n\n✓Arsenal Builders: A decade-proven strong benchmark, the reliable medium-heavy piece your bag is built around\n\nGood to Know Before You Buy\n\n·Strong, aggressive motion: This is a high-flare piece built for traction. If you want a controlled, lower-hook reaction, a lower-differential ball will suit you better.\n\n·Ships at a clean box finish: The 3000 Grit finish is a smooth, sanded surface that still gets down the lane. Take it lower for an earlier read on heavier oil, or polish it up for more length.\n\n·Colors vary: Actual colors vary somewhat from the photos shown; no two balls come out of the mold exactly alike.\n\n·Tiny pit holes are normal: A few tiny pit holes in the coverstock are a normal part of the manufacturing process.\n\n·Sold undrilled: Ships without finger holes, so it can be fitted to your hand and span.\n\nBowlersMart Tips: Where the Phaze II Fits in Your Storm Arsenal\n\nWhere It Fits in Your Arsenal\n\nIn the Storm lineup, the Phaze II is the strong, readable benchmark for medium to medium-heavy oil. It attacks fresher, heavier volume with a controllable read, sitting below your strongest asymmetric traction pieces and above your cleaner pearls. As a symmetric ball it reads the same way shot after shot, making it an easy reference to build the rest of your bag around, and its pearl complement, the Phaze 2 Pearl, adds length and angle off the same core.\n\nSurface Adjustments\n\nThe 3000-grit finish is the classic Phaze II surface. Take it down with a lower-grit pad for an earlier, stronger read on heavier oil, or polish it up for more length as the lanes dry. Have surface changes done at your pro shop for an even, consistent finish.\n\nCoverstock Care\n\nWipe the TX-16 Solid cover with an approved reactive ball cleaner after every session, and deep clean it periodically. A solid cover absorbs oil, so keeping it clean preserves the strong, honest read that has defined the Phaze II for years.\n\nEarn points on every Storm purchase through the Striking Rewards loyalty program.
