I agree with DLY here....
quote:
I do believe the Black Thunder storm was able to flare upto 13inches....


I had a Black Thunder that flared over 9". In the day and age of that ball that was HUGE...considering the fact that my rev rate was about 1/2 of what it is now.

The black Thunder Storm and Pacific Storm flared crazy amounts, as people have mentioned. I could get the Thunder to flare near the entire ball as well. Of course we know that doesn't mean a whole lot.

Another ball that was like that was the LaneMasters balls with the American Flag on them. Those you could see the flag logo migrate around the ball very easy.
