Storm Lights Out Ball Review

After only drilling a couple Tropical Heat’s and one Tropical Breeze, I had my expectations set as to what the Lights Out was going to be like. But, I was pleasantly surprised on how much this ball hooks! For a ball in our “Hot” line, I feel like it definitely a step up from the Heat series. When the lanes really start to hook and your angles are forced really far open, the Lights Out will be a perfect match. I have always been hesitant on drilling balls with smaller cores and weaker covers because I’ve noticed they don’t go through the pins very well. The Lights Out is anything but that and goes through the pins great for a ball with a tremendous amount of length.

I drilled mine 4 ½ x 4 ¼ with a tiny hole on my axis approximately 3’ deep. I made sure to put a weight hole in this ball to ensure the ball will flare enough and the flare rings would be far enough apart. Out of the box, I feel the Lights Out has a very quick response time to friction. I recommend lightly grazing the surface with a 2000 or 3000 pad just to knock the original shine off. This will help the ball hook in oil and not be so quick off the friction. If you are looking for a piece when the lanes hook a lot, if your center has an old surface, or simply a replacement for one of your lower/mid-range balls, a Lights Out will fill that gap nicely!

What do you think would be a better in-between ball between a Frantic and Tropical Breeze? Lights Out or Freak'n Frantic?
