Please compare a dark thunder & atomic charge
« on: September 11, 2006, 06:25:39 AM »
I walked into the pro shop last week and bought a dark thunder.  I really like this ball, first ball I ever bought that I shot a couple 220's from the start.  Looking at the atomic charge it looks to me that I would probably get a similar reaction as my dark thunder.  Since they are all over ebay right now, I was wondering if anyone could give me a comparison.

They are very similar.  I had both, and both were drilled about the same.  Pin above the fingers on the center line, and the cg kicked out slightly to the right, just above my center of grip.  I did not have much success with the box finish.  I just did not really care for the reaction.  I put a light coat of polish on them, and what a difference.  The Dark Thunder is a heavier rolling ball than the Atomic Charge, and reads the midlane a hair earlier than my Atomic.  Overall hook was about the same for me.  Hope this helps.
