50% MORE FLARE – Element Max A.I. Core
At the heart of the ball is the Element Max A.I. Core, a low RG asymmetric design built to rev quickly and create a strong, defined midlane motion. Its design extends mass along the X-Axis, adding over 50% more flare potential and creating a more dynamic overall motion. Layout choices play a significant role, with drilling closer to the PSA increasing intermediate differential and giving pro shop operators precise control when dialing in reaction shape.
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.
