Only show reviews for Storm Lucid
Controlling your ball reaction and knowing how to strike on heavy oil has never been easier than it will be with the Storm Lucid!
Pin to PAP(5 1/8" over 1/8" up) - 5"
PSA Layout - 5" x 4" x 2 1/2"
Balance Hole - n/a
Surface Preparation - Out of Box (4000 grit Abralon)
What I Was Looking For In This Ball Layout:
The introduction of the Lucid was an exciting one for me. Storm is using their new ERG coverstock on this ball, getting the cover closer to a pure reactive resin shell. This should allow a later break point with a stronger motion off that spot.
Compared to the last few releases in the Premier series with the NRG additive, this should be a welcomed ball motion for all bowlers on a variety of conditions. We decided to leave this matte pearl ball out of box. In my world if I was bowling league with this I would throw some polish on there to get a more angular move downlane.
What I Ended Up With in the Ball and Layout:
I really enjoyed the look of the Lucid from start to finish. The new ERG did exactly what Storm said it would do. It offered a smoother look getting down lane and a later break point then the previous release, the Vivid. Off the spot the Lucid was very strong and gave me quite a bit of miss to the right.
Like any reactive cover you still had to find the friction to really see it go off the break point but even when I would get inside of the pattern a little the Lucid still rolled great and recovered quite nicely.
As we expect from Storm the ball looks amazing and hits like a truck. I think the addition of the Lucid to the Premier series will be a perfect combination with all of the other winning balls from Storm so far this season.
