Description
A Straight-Shooting Polyester Spare Ball
About the Lightning Clear
When a straighter option is imperative, look no further than polyester. The Storm Lightning Clear not only looks good, it will always perform exactly as expected: a clean, straight reaction that takes the oil pattern out of the equation so you can focus on picking up your spares.
The Lightning Clear pairs a simple, low-flare 3-piece core with a clear polyester (plastic) coverstock. Hooking at spares can be challenging on tougher patterns, and the Lightning Clear removes that variable entirely, the dependable straight-line tool every arsenal needs.
Understanding the 3 Piece Core and Polyester (Plastic)
Storm built the Lightning Clear to go straight. Specifically, the simple 3-piece core has a high RG and almost no differential, so the ball produces essentially zero track flare, while the polyester cover generates very little friction with the lane. As a result, the Lightning Clear holds a true, predictable line regardless of the oil pattern, exactly what you want when shooting spares.
A Simple, Low-Flare Core Built to Go Straight
The Lightning Clear uses a simple 3-piece core with a high RG and almost no differential, numbers that produce essentially zero track flare. That is exactly what you want in a spare ball: the core resists hooking, so the ball holds a true, predictable line straight to your spare.
Because it does not flare, the Lightning Clear rolls on a straight path regardless of the oil pattern. You can throw the same straight shot at every single-pin and corner-pin spare and trust it to get there.
A Durable Polyester Cover With Minimal Friction
The Lightning Clear is finished with a clear polyester (plastic) coverstock. Polyester is the least aggressive coverstock material, so it generates very little friction with the lane. The result is a clean, straight reaction that ignores the oil and goes where you aim it.
That minimal friction is exactly why plastic is the standard for spare shooting. The Lightning Clear pushes straight through the fronts and resists the hook of a reactive ball, so you can line up your spares with confidence. Polyester is also extremely durable, making it a long-lasting, dependable tool in any bag.

Good to Know Before You Buy
·Ships polished: The Polished finish runs clean and long out of the box. For an earlier read on heavier oil, take the surface down at your pro shop.
·Colors vary: Actual colors vary somewhat from the photos shown; no two balls come out of the mold exactly alike.
·Tiny pit holes are normal: A few tiny pit holes in the coverstock are a normal part of the manufacturing process.
·Sold undrilled: Ships without finger holes, so it can be fitted to your hand and span.
BowlersMart Tips: Where the Lightning Clear Fits in Your Storm Arsenal
Where It Fits in Your Arsenal
Every complete arsenal needs a dedicated spare ball, and the Lightning Clear fills that role. Where your reactive balls hook to the pocket, the plastic Lightning Clear goes straight, so you use it for corner pins and single-pin spares where hook only adds risk. It is the simplest, most predictable ball in the bag, and one of the most important for protecting your score.
Surface Adjustments
There is rarely a reason to change a spare ball’s surface, but your pro shop can re-polish the Lightning Clear if it ever loses its shine. Keep it clean and polished so it continues to travel straight through the oil.
Coverstock Care
Wipe the polyester cover with an approved ball cleaner after use. Plastic is durable and low-maintenance, so a quick wipe keeps the Lightning Clear shooting straight for years.
