In this video I put Storm’s SPI Tournament Collection to the test on one 42-foot pattern and show you exactly where each ball fits in a real progression. I throw the Concept, Gremlin Tour-X, Vengeance (polished), Bionic, Transformer (lane-shined), and Ion Max Pearl all on top of each other so you can see the differences right away. I also talk surface changes I made to make the lineup fit my game better, because I don’t have a ton of tilt and getting the ball down lane with the right shape matters for me. The Concept is my “stay right” control piece—smooth and predictable, but if I miss right it’s not coming back. The Gremlin Tour-X is a clear step up (about 10 boards more hook for me) and is a great early-day ball when I want to move in and still control the pocket. Polishing the Vengeance made it way more usable for me—more push, a bit more round/tame off the spot, and it gave me more forgiveness left than the Tour-X. My favorite of the six is still the Bionic: strong, continuous, controllable… absolute money on medium-long to long. Then I compare the Transformer’s “keeps hooking” look to the Ion Max Pearl, which changes direction a bit quicker and then rolls more forward—especially useful when the lanes get cliffed. Overall, I like the tournament collection idea, but I’d love to see a few lower-hook options added for when the lanes get torched late in blocks.
