- Lights Out

First Impressions
With the Lights Out, Storm brings a fascinating new development to market that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Turbine core, which with a 2.55 RG and a 0.038 differential ensures a very clean motion through the front sections of the lane. The R2S Hybrid cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The surface, with a 1500-grit polished finish, massively supports this trait by letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction too early. Visually the ball is a real eye-catcher and immediately conveys that this model was designed primarily for later and sharper changes of direction. The technical match between core and cover is exceptionally harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the Lights Out to the Storm Electrify, the striking differences in backend reaction are immediately apparent. The Storm Electrify tends to read a bit earlier, while the Lights Out holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. That trait makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Electrify starts to lose energy in the pocket or enter too flat. Although both balls have a similar orientation toward lighter oil patterns, the Lights Out offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is the ideal solution for situations in which the Electrify no longer develops enough drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength once the lane has been broken in a bit and transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction in the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which produces maximum, explosive carry. When the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, the ball allows you to systematically move further inside and play the pocket from a much deeper angle. It is very well suited to medium to dry conditions and an excellent choice if you're looking for a clean, responsive surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on misses out to the outside, it should keep scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
