About Pro Thunderball

History

    Pro Thunderball was created around the turn of the century (1999/2000) by cousins Steve and Bobby in Redford, MI. On this eve, black clouds rolled across the sky. The peace of night shattered by crashes of thunder and brilliant bolts of lightning. The very sky seemed bent on the destruction of the land below it. The cousins quickly devised a strategy to appease the storm. They grabbed thier Thunderball Paddles and raced to the nearest tennis court. These two battled with all the ferocity of the storm that raged around them. After many hours, the storm abated, pleased with the display it had seen. The two Thunderers stood, truimphant over the tempest and in that moment Pro Thunderball was born.
