The Lightning Blackout will instantly become a fan favorite for most bowlers arsenals. The perfect transition ball for a multitude of situations from step down off the super strong and medium strength balls; the Blackout will easily clear the fronts and give plenty of continuation down lane. I see the Blackout as a weaker version of the UC2 and with the Hy-Road pearl discontinued this ball will perfectly fit that slot for clean and angular when the heads hook early. Also, for those who fear it may be too weak I saw plenty of grab when I did miss in and the Blackout still read the lane properly and hooked where I needed it to. I did not see over sensitivity to either friction or oil which blended out the lane real nicely for me.

The Storm Lightning Blackout comes with the ReX Pearl Reactive cover, Warp A.I. Core, and reacta gloss finish. This ball has a higher RG at 2.53 and lower diff at 0.029. This ball is clean down the lane and will need some friction. It will not be a ball thrown on the fresh as it will need some lane break down to really shine. I compared this ball to the VEBO and it is a good ball or two down from it. The LBO may be a step down but for me, I feel as if it would be two balls down as it just does not have enough core to be a ball down. The LBO looks good when the lanes break down or there is a lot of friction when you need a clean ball to get down the lane. Another great release in the Storm line!
