I've only seen the Dark Thunder, and the guy throwing it used it for spares, so I'm not really sure how well it would match up. From what I've seen, a T-Road Solid/Pearl combo would work well.

I would lean to the Troad line over Dark Thunder personally.  I think they would be more versatile.  Plus Storm & you tube have clips on the Troad line you can watch.  Haven't seen any of the Dark Thunder clips.  Plus isn't Dark Thunders a re-release?  Pretty sure it is.

Yes I like the reaction of both balls. I was on buddies proshop watching the video.

I don't own the Dark Thunder pearl, however I do own the Dark Thunder and it is my favorite ball. I keep the coverstock at 600 grit and can use this ball on most medium to heavy conditions. I bought a Special Agent for Nationals earlier this year because I had read how that ball was really tearing it up on the slicker Reno condition. But, for me the Dark Thunder and my Shift both outperformed the Special. I would highly recommend the Thunder, for the price it can't be beat. However, for a pearl counterpart I would go wth the t-road pearl or Agent. I would like to also say that what works for me may not work for you, as I mentioned above, most people love the Special Agent including my wife and two of my teammates. So, it would probably be best to ask a trusted pro shop person who either knows your game or at least can watch you throw some.

Thank you everyone. I will be going with the T- road combo. I talked it over with my driller. But I am going to get the Dark Thunder too. Our Anchor man have that ball and it's a beast. I guess once a ball junkie always one.
