Thunder Line
« on: July 21, 2018, 02:23:54 PM »
I'm very intrigued by what core they drop in this line. I don't need another R2S Pearl ball, but an R2S Hybrid with that lines core characteristics could be a fun piece for this upcoming season. When do we think the next ball will be announced for that line?

I remember when the Rocket came out and I scratched my head on that; a ball with extra punch in the back. In my area nobody really bought the Rocket but many bought the SkyRocket.

I thought it was the Crossdoad, Victory Road, T-Road or Frantic.

Must admit I would buy a Frantic remake if it was available today.

+1 on picking up a Frantic remake (granted Hot line so sorry off-topic).  Finally got a Marvel Pearl remake and love it so far, so all about the Storm classics and remakes (only newer Storm/Roto ball I have is a Hustle Ink,  rest pre 2015).  R2 forever baby.

Blue Thunder was a very under rated ball.   A pearl that was great on dirt,  and controlled the back ends on fresh flatter patterns.

Loved both of these balls. Orange and yellow pin. Tour edition was awesome.

I have an original blue thunder nib from 1998. 1 inch pin. Had three of them back then. All awesome. Been debating selling it or drilling it. I know some of the storm tour guys would kill for this ball. Off weight though. 15lb.13 oz. I went to 15lbs last yr, so I don’t know how the 3/4 extra lb. would effect me.

Leagues starting very soon, so I must say I'm surprised we haven't heard what's coming yet.
