Ebonite Thunderbolt Bowling Ball

(3 reviews) Write a Review

An advanced new urethane formulation developed by Carmen Salvino makes the Thunderbolt "bite" into heavy oil lanes to hook sharper and hit harder than any other ball. And the exclusive Power Core increases gyroscopic action, allowing the Thunderbolt to roll farther before hooking for less deflection and more striking power. If you're a "better" bowler who's ready to push your game to the limit --- and beyond --- the new Thunderbolt is the winning choice.

The Thunderbolt continues to be one of the most successful balls ever rolled on the Pro Tour. Ebonite's unique urethane formula "bites" into oily lanes for exceptional control. The dynamically-balanced Power Core increases gyroscopic action for a longer roll, sharper hook, less deflection, and dramatically more striking power. "Better" bowlers can improve their game on oily lanes. Roll the Thunderbolt.

    i got this ball punched up b/c im sick of bowling in tournaments when you have to bowl 6 games and at the start of the 2nd game your up against the ball return. i polished this ball up as much as i could. i love it. it doesnt carry like the new stuff but it still has plenty of hitting power to shoot decent series w/ it. it hooks more than i expected too. this one is super predictable. i like it b/c i can get super aggressive at the bottom of my swing and it wont over react. if you have a chance to get your hands on one of these dinosaurs pick one up. even if you dont throw it in league it will be fun just to mess around with. good ball<scri

    This ball is a great vgo to ball for me sometimes when you get stuck in a oil pattern that the resin balls are overreacting or they are sliding and comming in weak this ball works really great and it hooks a lot too the urethane cover sanded at 600 makes for an even and strong but not over agressive reaction this ball is drilled up to roll early and the combination of the cover and the drilling make a verry consistant ball on a variaty of conditions this may be an older ball but if tou use it right it will bring you great success
