Stärken:  What we liked the most about Furious was its ability to handle larger volumes of oil. The R2S cover takes surface adjustments with ease, allowing it to work on any medium pattern as well.

Schwächen: The box finish limits Furious to medium and oily patterns. Those with higher rev rates might even be limited to only oily patterns. Luckily, the box finish can be adjusted to tame down Furious, if need be.

Insgesamt: Furious offers a rather large hook potential for the price point. The change in cover to R2S gives this ball the ability the handle more oil than Street Rod Solid could.

Comments: With the release of Furious, Storm has produced an improved version of Street Rod Solid in their Hot line. Furious features the R2S cover, where as Street Rod Solid came with the Reactor cover. Both of these balls featured the Turbine core. By using the R2S cover, Furious offers more traction not only in the oil but at the back end as well. The 2000 Abralon finish of Furious allows it to handle both long and oily patterns equally well. We found Furious to match up the best with our oily pattern, which is considered to be a long oil pattern. This pattern allowed Furious to be rather clean through the front, despite the rather dull box finish. The length of this pattern usually tightens up the back end reaction for most balls, but the 2000 Abralon finish of the R2S cover allowed Furious to find the pocket with ease. The medium pattern forced all three testers approximately an arrow deeper, due to the extra friction at the back end since this pattern was a few feet shorter than the oily pattern. All three testers were able to find the pocket with ease while this pattern was fresh. Cranker had a bit of trouble, due to his higher rev rate, after this pattern started to break down. We applied Storm's Step Two to all three test balls to see what a small shine would due to Furious on this pattern. Cranker benefited the most from this surface adjustment. The extra length this surface adjustment provided allowed Furious to be cleaner through the front. with some extra pop and continuation at the back end. The dry test pattern didn't offer much of a look for our testers. This pattern is rather short in length and doesn't offer much hold area. Those bowling on this type of condition will want to go with longer pin-to-PAP layouts, combined with a polished finish, which should allow Furious to push far enough down lane before it makes its move to the pocket. Stroker had the best look on our sport pattern. His lower rev rate allowed him to play straighter through the front part of the lane and have a controlled move to the pocket at the back end. Those with medium to high rev rates will need smoother transitioning layouts if they wish to use Furious on sport type conditions.
