I bought a Lights out last week as a step down from my disturbed. Drilled it strong and changed surface to 4000. Wow great ball. Clean through the front and nice hard but controlled move. Goes through the pins great. Closest motion I've found to my beloved Nomad. This is a great ball, stronger than advertised. It's a shame you don't here that much about !!  I've thrown it 5 games   228. 235. 238. 233. 248.

Lights Out is not as wacky as a Frantic, meaning it doesn't jump through the face every so often. The LO is a fantastic ball, drill it strong and add surface and it can be a benchmark ball for most people. It is for me.

Frantic was really, really skid flippy. I left a lot of ring 10s, fast 8s (4-7), and hard 9 pins. Just real condition specific for me, part of the reason its in the closet.

Billdozer...think about the light out. One if the better Storm balls I've drilled in a while

I absolutely love my Lights Out. I have that and a IQTP in my bag because both balls are absolute money IMO. Both balls have the same layout but different cores and surfaces. Compliment each other very well.

The lights out is just so smooth, nice strong arc, and predictable. I don't think I've ever seen this ball jump off the dry without some kind of warning. Probably one of the most versatile Storm pieces I've ever owned. While I can't seem to string more than 7-8 in a row it still allows me to still score well.

I'd go with a Fusion, that ball is going to be something else.

A little more... on smoothness.


Lights Out Performance & Shelf Appeal by Zack

 Here is my review for brand new Storm Lights Out.

 I couldn’t have been more excited to see R2S hybrid wrapped around the proven Turbine core. My all time favorite cover (hy-road) combined with a weaker core got my blood pumping :-)

This ball is going to way out perform it’s price tag. I cannot believe how good and how strong this ball is for the line it’s in. If you’re looking for a ball that goes way down the lane and sideways (like somebody kicked it) then this is the one for you. I have been able to strike from a wide variety of angles with this gem. Ranging from straight down the lane or from 5th arrow, it just keeps comin. House shot killer!! I’ll give it 7.25/10

 Now shelf appeal is a bit lacking on this one, black/silver (like tropical heat hybrid) with white labels. I would have liked to have seen ALL black or at
 least much darker to go with the name. I do like the “blacked out” locator pin tho, nice touch! Scent is as good as they come with “apple fritter”. I’ll give it 6.5/10 for shelf appeal.

The kicked sideways quote caught my eye as did this video below which found that for this high speed player the ball really had a very stong reaction off the dry!

Let's elaborate a little  more on the smooth part please.

Thanks,

As this ball has caught my eye!

Thanks for the Response V!

Maybe, it is the surface alteration?.  That video I posted did you see that thing jump?

And that guy is FAST!  Any other thoughts?  V?  or Anyone?  Lights out, Jumpy or Smooth?

REgards,
