The Next Factor brings back the spirit of one of Storm’s most iconic asymmetric designs, reviving the energy and attitude of the original X-Factor from 2002. Featuring the RAD-TQ™ core, this modern reinterpretation uses a high RG, high differential, and a moderate PSA to fly through the front part of the lane and unleash a fierce, unmistakable backend motion. Paired with the R3S™ Pearl Reactive coverstock—positioned perfectly between R2S and TX-16—the Next Factor delivers the rare blend of control and angularity that made the X-Factor legendary. Finished with Power Edge™ and poured in a deep Midnight hue with a Dark Berry fragrance, this ball is built to open angles and create devastating backend shape when the lanes call for it.
