Dark Thunder pearl
« on: October 03, 2006, 03:10:14 PM »
I threw my friend's Dark Thunder Pearl today and it didn't move much at all.  I threw it when the lanes were already fried outside 10 and left a two pin.  I blame his choice in drilling over the ball itself.  He put the pin under the middle finger and the cg down and over so he could use a low weight hole.  That puts the pin at 6" from my PAP, and being a high tracker it's a miracle I didn't clip.  Still my viz-a-ball hooked more today.  Not that this is a bad thing, could definite use on fried lanes.

Well...new posting...threw it on hooking wood lanes and the ball had a decent amount of backend...but still...this ball...like kman said...does not hook up like i thought it would and i am no way rev challenged...just wondering zonepro...what kind of pin(from cg) does yours have...mine is 3.5 - 4...maybe that is making a difference

No way rev challenged??...they call me THE HAND for a reason...where's your nickname???...lol...I witnessed SunStorm tossing this rock a bit as well...didn't have the booming backend I thoguht I was going to see...but seemed to roll well...isn't one of your original Dark Thunder's set up like the DTP?  Or very similar to that?

I had a Hot Rod Pro Stock Pearl that shares the Monsoon Pearl cover.  It was drilled pin under bridge (5-1/2" form PAP), with a flare-increasing weight hole.  THAT ball hooked a ton, all on the backend.  I could use it on medium to heavy conditions if the backends were clean.
