On the Shelf..... At first glance it looks similar to the Dimension bowling ball Storm released earlier last year. The look is very appealing with this color combination and a new fragrance and neat logo.
On the lanes… This ball is a monster in every way. I, recently, had started having trouble on some of the new Anvilane surfaces getting my ball to read the lane early enough with my speed and rev rate in today’s scoring environments. With this ball, I can get back to where I need to be. I can get back to my "comfort zone" and start the invasion of strikes! The Invasion seems to rev up a little quicker on the lanes but still has a lot left on the back part of the lane. This Invasion has tremendous power when it enters the pocket. Pin carry is just phenomenal!
In conclusion… The Invasion has stepped the game up again with Storm’s new core (Origin) and a newer version of their R3X Solid Reactive cover stock. Strokers will love the free hook that they will receive with this ball and start to feel like they have more room on the lane then in the past. Tweeners will have to find some oil in order to not have this ball maximize its potential. Crankers will need to find oil to be able to keep this ball on the lanes. I suggest using some what weaker layouts for this style of bowler or touch the surface with some polish. All in all, this new Invasion will be the new standard in creating midlane ball reaction with strong back end motion and tremendous pin carry.
