Thunderstruck Pearl....?
« on: October 10, 2006, 03:22:51 AM »
We have a guy around here just lovin his Thunderstruck solid.

Now I see the lovely Clara Guerraro with the Thunderstruck Pearl looking may I say...very very good(her bowling too!).

Not too many comments out here.

I have the Hot Rod Super Sport pearl and think the world of it...Same coverstock, similar core (but different) and more flare on the Thunderstruck pearl.

Any thoughts or comparisons?  

REgards,

I want to do is echo the 'lovely Clara Guerraro' comment.  I got smacked by my wife for saying that out loud yesterday.

I have seen both and I would recommend the solid.  Basically the difference is that the pearl goes a couple of feet longer before making its move.  

I bought the solid for my wife (before she smacked me) as a step down ball from her Paradigm.  Last night in league she switched from the Paradigm to the Thunderstruck solid as the lanes were breaking down from the 2nd to the 3rd game.  Last game - 256.  In case you are interested she is a high speed (17-18 at the pin deck) medium rev. (13-15) power stroker.

Hmmm... based on the fact that I was smacked for my earlier remark I think I'll let this one pass.

Actually my wife throws harder and with more revs. than Clara.  If only she could hit the same spot twice

Keep going and she may hit that spot she smacked once already twice!
