I polished (1500) my Lucid before drilling and the ball is going to long and not recovering. I was afraid to leave it in OB surface thinking it would start too early. The ball is drilled with the pin above the fingers and the CG and PSA slightly to the right of the palm and thumb. My ball speed is about 16mph and I have a low track. The place I bowl has a Storm Surface Factory so this week I am going to have the polish removed so the ball is back to OB surface (4000-grit Abralon).

rollingthunder. if you can upload a video and compare it to another ball that you have in the video. tell the surface finish and the polish added to it. i will be able to closely guesstimate your pap, tilt, rev rate, speed, and rotation, so dont worry about that.. i want to visualize what you are talking about. my rev rate is over 400 and my ball speed is 19.5-20.5 and the motion you are talking about is something i personally love and need on specific patterns by kegel and usbc.

No issues with either lucid.  One is 50* 5" 65* and the other is 50* 4 3/4" 20*.  As it was said before, strength and predictability unlike any asymmetric ball I've ever thrown.

I have tried mine 1500 polished and OB. Polished On fresh THS it went too long and didn't recover. OB it did better but still went a little longer than I like and not a very strong move that I am used to with Storm balls. Wish I hadn't sold my Anarchy.

Took mine to 3000 abralon and it's been great for me. I've finished it by hand with Clean N Dull and I've used a spinner too. By hand it's a little duller and a little more aggressive and the spinner puts a nice sheen kinda half shine on it. Didn't like the OOB or polish either. The ball still goes long for me, but still maintains the backend and hitting power.

Threw mine on fresh and bagged it after 2 frames...its STRONG.  All i got was like a super hockey stick motion similar to my critical theory...but it seems about 3-4 stonger than my critical...and 7 more than my vivid.  Sounds rediculous, but im 15.5 mph and rev dominant.  Solids are usually tame & contollable and pearls hook feet for me.

Im going to throw it again tonite..hopefully we got some head oil LOL

Doesn't matter what the surface or the layout this ball is strong....VERY strong.

Even with a 90x5x35 layout, a P1 hole and large quantities of polish over a 4000 grit finish, this ball is still too strong for our house pattern (41 feet, 80 units in the center, 8 units on the edges).....

Youre preaching to the lucid choir.  i had to polish the hell outta my critical just to use it, and it still is a 9 pin leaving, 4 pin trippin' mofo.

Anyone else care to chime in on this? Thinking of picking one of these up here in a week or so.

I won a Lucid from the Storm online contest.  Our league house puts down what I would consider a medium to medium heavy house shot so I can actually use it.  I have only used it 4 weeks and like it so far, I can move farther left with it than my Theory would allow.

What else are you throwing? Love mine. Thinking about getting another one! It's a monster! Since getting it I have shot 680 2 times  and 700 3 times, only 5 sets with it. Using it out of box @ 4000. Stronger that my critical theory, marvel and fringe.
