Paradigm Domination vs T-Road
« on: March 28, 2007, 06:06:48 PM »
Im new to storm balls I usually use ebonite but I have been interested and I have a chance to get either one of these free. I want to know which is more versatile I want a ball I can take on the road yet use on a THS without problems and still maintain carry. I also wanted to know do storm balls have a long life line. Would appreciate the advice.

the domination is a stronger ball but the t-road pearl is a much more versatile ball. the domination can handle a little more oil than the t-road. you won't have a have a problem with carry unless there is a lot of carrydown because the domination does not like carrydown. storm balls last a looooong time. my fired up has almost 800 games on it and my paradigm has about 500 and both are still as strong as the day that i bought them.

I am with Storm on this as he stated that the T-road is very versatile.  I have one drilled RICO and i have used it on a decent amount of oil playing a down and in shot and used it in league on THS swinging it.  

The cover takes adjustments good also, i have sanded mine to 2000 abralon and also highly polished it up, the highly polished surface just seemed to work better for me.


I had the Domination and that ball was just to jump and angular for me on the backends.  Left a few weird leaves with the angle i was coming in at and ended up getting rid of the ball.

I haven't had the opportunity to throw a T-road Pearl yet (it's getting drilled this week.), but I tend to agree with the consensus here that it'll be a little more versatile.  The Domination needs a fair amount of oil to get to the break point correctly.  It also doesn't like carrydown very much as was stated earlier.  When the conditions are right for the Domination, it's a monster but it's probably a little more condition specific than you're looking for.  I'll be able to tell you more when I get my T-Road this weekend but if I were you, that's what I'd go with.

Threw my T-Road Pearl this weekend several games with some more "senior" bowlers.  This ball is versatile as advertised, I had my drilled 4" pin to PAP with what looks like a label drill with the MB under the thumb. This ball is the one of the most versatile balls I've thrown period.  The first game or so I played a slight swing shot (standing 19-20, targeting 9-10) with great success it was very smooth and hit the pins very well. But because of who I was on the pair with, I knew the shot wouldn't hold up. So I made about a 5 and 3 move to the left with a stronger hand position and this ball became a monster that was throwing pins everywhere.  Now that I've thrown the TRoad, I definitely agree with the consensus here about it being a more versatile ball.
