Translated from Japanese: Shapelock HD core with polished NRG pearl cover. The return of the blockbuster "VG Nano Pearl" that surprised the bowlers with its run + kire + big bend.
NRG Pearl Coverstock
The Ion Max Pearl features Storm’s trusted NRG™ cover formulation in a polished pearl finish, engineered to provide a clean look through the front of the lane while maintaining midlane traction. Finished with Power Edge, the NRG™ Pearl delivers a faster, more decisive response at the breakpoint while maintaining control through the pins. This balance of cleanliness and traction allows the Ion Max Pearl to perform consistently across a variety of lane conditions and playing styles.
Shape-Lock HD Core
This shape can power through just about anything. “HD” is short for high density, which lowers the RG and raises the differential of the weight block. A higher differential translates to more flare potential, so every time the ball makes a rotation it exposes a fresh portion of coverstock material to the oil.
