In my opinion, the Storm ThunderStruck Solid is a must-have for any bowler! This bowling ball is one of the most predictable balls I’ve ever thrown. It’s an absolute life saver if you bowl a lot of tournaments and run into tough lane conditions. With its combination of the Reactor Coverstock and original Thunder core, the Thunderstruck Solid gets through the heads easily, reads the midlane great, and has a very smooth arc on the backend. This bowling ball isn’t going to hook off the lane, but it’ll allow you play many different lines with ease. Who can argue with Norm Duke? A lot of the time, straighter is greater! I’ll give the Thunderstruck Solid the best compliment I can give any ball: It reminds me of my favorite ball of all-time, the Speed Zone. Nothing I’ve thrown since that ball has come as close as the Storm ThunderStruck Solid. Just like my Speed Zone, I can throw this bowling ball on lots of different conditions, and I know what the ball is going to do. It’s great to have a bowling ball in your hand that you know is going to react the same each and every time. The Storm Thunderstruck Solid is just that ball. So if you want to make those tough lane conditions look easy, or you want a ball that will kill a house shot, pick up a Thunderstruck Solid! Thanks again Storm for another great bowling ball!
Bowl Up a Storm!!

This review is on a great new ball, the Brunswick Avalanche Solid!
If you’re looking for a ball for light/medium lane conditions, there’s no better option than the Avalanche Solid. This ball uses some of the greatest technology of all timeat an amazing price! The Brunswick Avalanche Solid has the PowerKoil 18 solid coverstock that has been used on more balls than any other coverstock in history. The Danger Zone, Monster Bruiser, Zone Red Alert and many others used the PowerKoil 18. The core in the Brunswick Avalanche Solid is from another one of the greatest balls ever, the Teal Rhino Pro. With this combination there’s no doubt that you’ll be buying a winner!
The Brunswick Avalanche Solid brings to mind one word: SMOOTH! This ball will give you an even, archy reaction throughout the whole lane. This is the perfect type of reaction for drier lanes, or when the condition is tough. You want to know exactly what the ball is going to do when you throw it, and the Brunswick Avalanche Solid is as predictable as they come!
Order yourself a Brunswick Avalanche Solid, you won’t regret it!
Thanks again Brunswick for another great release!

I’d like to share with you a review I wrote on one of my favorite balls of all time, the Storm Secret Agent :
Pin to PAP(4 7/8 over x 1/4 up) - 5 1/2″
CG Placement - 1/2″ right of grip center
Balance Hole - None
This put the pin under my middle finger.
Surface Preparation - 1000 Abralon
What I Was Looking For In This Layout: I went with my favorite layout. I wanted this ball to react evenly as I wanted it to be the first ball out of my bag, my benchmark.
What I Ended Up With In This Ball Layout: Exactly what I wanted and more. To say that this is my benchmark ball would be selling the Secret Agent short. I throw this ball on everything but extreme dry.
I’ve had many balls in past that I would consider ‘condition specific,’ meaning that the ball needed the right condition for it to shine. Well the Secret Agent, for me, is the complete opposite of condition specific. I’ve never had a ball that I’ve seen so many different reactions out of. On everything from Heavy Oil to medium-dry, this ball has been all I could ever ask for. The Secret Agent seems to change its reaction according to what is needed on a certain condition. So I guess you could say, for me, this ball reads the lane better than anything I’ve ever thrown.
I know I’ve put the Storm Secret Agent on an extreme pedestal, but…
I believe that if you try one, you won’t be disappointed! It may not be the all-around monster that it is for me, but the Secret Agent will definitely find it’s place in your bag. And if you’re like me, your heart.
Thank you Storm for continuing to be ‘The Cream of the Crop’!
Here’s a great video on the Secret Agent:
