I tried out my new Thunderstruck Solid in league last night and (as predicted) it was perfect. I got a new league best series total which is nice. I really feel that I am going to do a lot better with this ball overall because it is so smooth and is easy to make adjustments with.
I practiced with this ball 3 nights in a row before league and I have to say once you figure it out it is pretty exciting to use. I have tried it on a variety of lane conditions now. I wouldn't use this guy on really dried out lanes, but other than that I would say it is the "go to guy" from now on. Next week in league I am just going to bring this ball and my Blue Dot.
This seems like the perfect ball. Very smooth but will still make a big arching hook when you need it. I am able to play deeper with confidence with this ball if I need to (that's a first for me by the way). Go up the back and play up the sides and it will turn in nice.
Unfortunately, there was something in the pit or ball return last night which has put big nasty holes in my brand new ball. Isn't that the best? Only a couple are on my track so I hope it won't mess up the ball too much. Don't harm my new purple baby!
Purple is the new gold?
