The Next Factor pays tribute to the iconic asymmetric cores that made Storm a household name. Built around the RAD-TQ engine, this modern core shape closely mirrors the legendary X-Factor released in 2002. Featuring a high RG, high differential, and a controlled PSA value, the design clears the heads with ease before unleashing a powerful and defined motion at the breakpoint. To fully enhance this core’s intent, the R3S coverstock was selected—positioned perfectly between R2S and TX-16 for the ideal blend of midlane traction and sharp backend. When the lanes call for increased angle and dynamic continuation, the Next Factor is ready to attack with the aggressive motion bowlers loved from the original X-Factor line.
