Storm Ion Max Pearl

The Storm Ion Max Pearl was built as the natural follow-up to Storm’s premier heavy-oil weapon. When the original Ion Max begins to read the lane too early, the Ion Max Pearl steps in to maintain control while adding a quicker, more decisive backend motion. Featuring Storm’s trusted NRG coverstock in a polished pearl formulation, the Ion Max Pearl offers a clean look through the front of the lane without sacrificing midlane traction. Finished with Power Edge, the NRG Pearl creates consistent read in the midlane and a sharp, controlled response at the breakpoint, allowing the ball to open up the lane as conditions transition. At the core of the Ion Max Pearl is the Element Max™ A.I. Core, one of the lowest RG asymmetric cores Storm has ever engineered. Designed to rev quickly, it produces powerful torque and a strong, defined midlane roll that blends seamlessly into a dynamic downlane motion. The core extends mass along the X-Axis, increasing flare potential by over 50% for enhanced continuation through the pins. The Element Max A.I. Core is also highly layout-sensitive, giving pro shop operators exceptional tuning capability. Drilling closer to the PSA increases intermediate differential, allowing bowlers to precisely shape ball motion and match a wide range of styles and lane conditions. From league play to tournament environments, the Ion Max Pearl delivers the perfect balance of cleanliness, traction, and control. It retains the oil-handling strength of the Ion Max while providing a faster, more responsive breakpoint—helping you stay ahead as lanes break down. Find your moment. MAXimize your game.
