At the heart of the Next Factor is the RAD-TQ, a reengineered version of one of the most influential asymmetric cores in Storm history. Originally introduced as the RAD (Radical Accelerating Disk) in the X-Factor, this modern revival preserves the core’s defining traits—high RG, high differential, and a conservative PSA strength—while utilizing updated internal materials for enhanced efficiency and stability.
The result is a core that clears the fronts with ease and stores an exceptional amount of energy for a devastating backend move. The RAD-TQ brings back the iconic motion that helped shape the Storm brand, now optimized for today’s higher-friction surfaces and modern bowler styles.
