Likes: The Modern Marvel has great midlane roll and strong arc on the backend. This is a very strong overall ball from Storm. With the Centripetal™ core's symmetrical shape allows the ball to glide through the heads without over skidding and going through the breakpoint. Very controllable backend motion with great hitting power. The Modern is great compliment to the
Marvel Pearl, as when the pearl goes to long then the Modern is great fit.
I had to apply Storm Step 2 compound to throw it on our THS. But on sport patterns where this ball
rolled the best for me. As the Modern allowed me to stay just to left of the friction and be able to continue
to have the pocket.
Great product from Storm... You have great overall hook from a symmetrical core, wrapped in the R2X Hybrid Reactive coverstock.

I'm a tweener with a higher track and carry a 194 average...pics show layout w/P-Hole. This ball is a great one to throw first on fresh oil and get a good read. Has a nice transition at the end of most 38' - 40' patterns with a strong, controllable backend that just pulverizes the pins. As the lanes break down, I found I had to adjust very little and still kept that same hook shape and continuation with almost no loss of hitting power. Shot 688 out of the box and much prefer it over my Critical Theory. I use it and a Roto Grip Bandit as my primary league condition balls but this ball handles a heavier oil volume in the crown than my Bandit (we have a 39' THS on Pro Anvilane). If you don't have this ball, you ought to!

Hand: Left Ball Speed: 15-16mphBall Weight: 15lbsPAP: 5 left 7/16 upDegrees of Tilt: 17Layout: 5 x 5 x 1The Modern Marvel I drilled up is pin above my ring finger and cg is a little past my midline palm. I am a big fan of mid to low performance hybrids and this ball does not disappoint me at all. With the cover stock being part solid and part pearl I am able to play different parts of the lane and changing my hand position I can get the ball to come back from different angles. The Modern Marvel is right in between the other 2 marvels; not too early rolling and even like the Marvel solid and does not go as long as the Marvel Pearl. The Modern Marvel is one of those balls when you just need a little variance with your ball reaction between the other 2 marvels. It is smooth down lane but has a little angle on the back end which is able for you to have a little room if you do miss your target.I have a video on facebook and youtube!

Comments about Storm Modern Marvel:

Overall I really like Modern Marvel, it gives me a different look than any other ball in my bag. This ball is especially good when keeping the ball in play is important. I don't see this as a ball that will help open up the backend or create pocket area, at least not with the layout I chose. It's great when going up the boards and when you need a predictable ball motion.

I have used the Modern Marvel on the 2012 Nationals patter on a Brunswick surface, a 43' House pattern on AMF surface and a modified house pattern on AMF surface. All lane patterns were fresh. The characteristic of the ball that struck me the strongest was the lack of overreaction or at least less than I would see with high end asymmetric balls making this a ball that is very easy to trust.

I can see the Modern Marvel being a go to ball early on in team event at the Nationals this year.

My layout is 55 degrees x 4/12 inches x 65 degrees.
My PAP is 5 7/8 inches over and 3/8 inches up.

This ball is a monster when it hits the pocket. Not one game below a 200 the 1st time out. Well worth getting.

rolled this ball for the first time yesterday, 4 games, all at least 40 above average, just got back into bowling about 6 months ago and this ball is night and day better than my last. Great hook, and predictable very strong through pins.
