The Beyond Infinity has one of the best shelf appeals on the market today. Fortunately, the appeal doesn’t end on the shelf. The Beyond is a great step down from the larger footprint, heavier oil balls like the Mindset and Ultimate Defender. When the bigger bowling balls start to bog down and lose hitting power, the Beyond is the perfect step down before the Endeavor or Ethos. Although the Beyond is long and angular, it never feels like it is going to miss its move on the back part of the lane. If you like sharp looking bowling balls that perform as good as they look, give the Beyond a try.

Storm Lightning Blackout Review
Layout
VLS 4.75x4x1.5
Dual Angle 48x4.75x23
Storm Lightning Blackout uses a brand new core called Warp with AI technology wrapped with REX pearl coverstock.
The Lightning Blackout is very clean through the fronts with a power and control.The lightning blackout will offer a later transistion ball motion so it will be great when length is needed but still continue on the backend.
I was very surprised on how strong the backend motion it has but thats why the core and coverstock combination is very important.
The Lightning Blackout is going to be a great compliment to The Road and IQ tour so when i feel those 2 balls aren't strong enough on the backend the Lightning is going to be perfect.
I can also see it complimenting the Virtual Energy Blackout when its too strong so the lightning will be a great stepdown.
I can also see adding surface to the Lightning and it will be a stronger IQ tour solid.

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!
