The Storm Lights Out gives you great length and a predictable backend motion. The Lights Out was more than I expected from this line. The layout that I used was pin over the fingers with no X-hole or 70 X 5 ½ X 40 for the dual angle people. My rev rate is about 300 and my ball speed is roughly around 15 to 16 mph. I have very little tilt and I am very comfortable going up the lane.

The first pattern I used the Lights Out on was the Masters Pattern. The Lights Out went way too far with the OOB surface so a scuffed it up with 2000 grit. That my friends was the perfect choice. I was able to play to the right and keep the ball in front of me the entire night. The Lights Out gave excellent me length and fantastic recovery. Like I said before “the Lights Out is more ball than I expected!”

The last pattern I used it on was a house pattern with very little volume and the Lights Out was unbelievable! The Lights Out gave me room in either direction as soon as I moved to the right a touch. My Rev Rate and No tilt is sometimes a problem with house patterns…. Over/ under until the carry down happens! The lights Out enabled me to play straighter and when I missed in, I still had a chance at striking!

The Lights Out is a must for any level of bowler. Generous length with decent recovery.
