Thunder Struck & Dark Thunder?
« on: June 01, 2006, 04:05:35 AM »

Is the Thunder Stuck ball a wide release version of the Dark Thunder, only purple?  I was hoping they would release the Dark Thunder as a main release...  It is one sweet ball.  I own one and it looks like I am going to have to get some more before they go away for good.  

It looks like there are some slight variations, the Thunder Struck comes polished to 1500 and has some slightly different numbers.  It looks like it has the same core, but the Thunder Struck has a solid reactive "Reactor" coverstock and the Dark Thunder has a solid reactive "Monsoon" coverstock.  

Do you guys know the difference between these two balls?

The Thundestruck is NOT the Dark Thunder. The Dark Thunder was made exclusively for Cal Bowling Supply. It is a modified Thunder core with the monsoon coverstock. The Thunderstruck has a different core with a Reactor coverstock

Oh I thought I read that it had the same core but a different coverstock.  That solves that!

Can Storm make another supply of Dark Thunders for My Bowling Supply?  Just kidding.  Please?

Thunderstucks Are bassically Going to be a thunderroad with a reactor cover...............Hope that helps


So they are similar then?  Now I am totally lost.  Let's review:
Dark Thunder is Thunder Road w/Monsoon coverstock (black)
Thunder Stuck is Thunder Road w/Reactor coverstock (purple)

So you could say that they are similar but not the same?

yes similar but the reactions can be completely different as the cover is the biggest difference in how the ball reacts, the core not so much (very important but cover is the most)

MAgic Is right The Cover Difference will make the balls pretty different.If you had a thunderroad and a thunderstruck I would think they Would both Rev up in the same manner But the Thunderstucks breakpoint will be down the lane further with some kick.And If I remeber Right the Bark Thunder Is a Origanal Black thunder Remake not a thunderroad Remake.And btw those who havent thrown a black thunder and a thunderroad they Rolled Very Different Even though The weight Blocks were similar


Interesting!  Thanks for clearing that up.  I can't wait to see what these balls do when they come out.

$124 for the case?  What a deal!


Yeah, if I didn't bowl with 14lb equipment I would definitely buy a case for 124.
