It keeps the legendary Velocity Core that made the Phaze II a benchmark, then wraps it in a pearl cover for a cleaner, more angular look down the lane.\n\nThe Phaze 2 Pearl pairs that symmetric Velocity Core with the TX-25 Pearl Reactive coverstock at a Power Edge polish. Where the solid Phaze II reads the mid-lane early and strong, the Pearl conserves energy through the front of the lane and saves it for a sharper move at the breakpoint, the long-awaited length-and-angle complement to the original.\n\nUnderstanding the Storm Velocity Core and Storm TX-25 Pearl Reactive\n\nStorm built the Phaze 2 Pearl for strength with more length. Specifically, the symmetric Velocity Core delivers the same strong, readable shape as the original Phaze II, while the TX-25 Pearl cover at a Power Edge polish conserves energy through the fronts and stores it for a more angular move down-lane. As a result, it clears the heads more easily than the solid Phaze II and finishes with more pop, which makes it the length option on the same proven core. The full per-weight specifications are listed below.\n\nThe Legendary Phaze II Core, Now in a Pearl\n\nAt the heart of the Phaze 2 Pearl is the symmetric Velocity Core, the same engine that made the original Phaze II a benchmark. 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.\n\nOn the Pearl, that strong core is paired with a cleaner cover, so the heavy flare comes with extra length and a sharper finish. You get the trusted Phaze II read with a more angular backend, the length-and-angle complement bowlers have been requesting for years.\n\nA Polished Pearl for Clean Length and an Angular Backend\n\nThe Phaze 2 Pearl wraps that core in Storm's TX-25 Pearl Reactive coverstock at a Power Edge polish. The pearl additive and polished surface conserve energy through the front of the lane, so the ball pushes cleanly through the heads, then makes a sharper, more angular move when it reaches the friction. It reads later and more pronounced than the sanded, solid Phaze II.\n\nThat length-and-angle shape is what makes the Pearl so useful as the lanes transition. When the solid Phaze II starts reading too early, the polished TX-25 gets the ball down the lane and still finishes with the strong backend the Velocity core supplies. Leave it polished for the most length and angle, or take the surface down at your pro shop for an earlier read when the oil increases.\n\nPhaze 2 Pearl 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 symmetric pearl with clean length and an angular finish as medium-heavy oil transitions\n\n✓Higher-Rev Bowlers: The strong Velocity core rewards revs with heavy flare and a sharp, hard-driving backend off the dry\n\n✓Stronger Stylists: Benchmark power with the cleaner length of a pearl, for patterns that have started to open\n\n✓Arsenal Builders: The length-and-angle complement to the solid Phaze II, the pearl you move to in transition\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 polished: The Power Edge (Polished) finish runs clean and long out of the box. For an earlier read on heavier oil, take the surface down at your pro shop.\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 2 Pearl Fits in Your Storm Arsenal\n\nWhere It Fits in Your Arsenal\n\nIn the Storm lineup, the Phaze 2 Pearl is the length-and-angle complement to the iconic Phaze II. Where the solid Phaze II attacks fresher, heavier oil with an early read, the polished Pearl steps in as the lanes transition, clearing the fronts and finishing with a more angular backend. It pairs naturally just above the solid Phaze II and below your cleaner, weaker pearls.\n\nSurface Adjustments\n\nThe Power Edge polish is a length-and-angle setup out of the box. Take the surface down with a lower-grit pad for an earlier, smoother read on more oil, or re-polish to restore length. Have surface changes done at your pro shop for an even, consistent finish.\n\nCoverstock Care\n\nWipe the TX-25 Pearl cover with an approved reactive ball cleaner after every session, and deep clean it periodically. Keeping a polished pearl clean preserves the clean length and angular backend that define the Phaze 2 Pearl.\n\nEarn points on every Storm purchase through the Striking Rewards loyalty program.
