I have been wanting to try a pearl badger for a while now. Since buddies has them on sale, I figured I would get one. What is the shaoe difference these balls? Also which ball is friendlier for a ths?

In order of strength, teal is strongest, gold is in the middle, and whb is weakest. The WHB will probably be the "better" ball on a ths because it's symmetrical (more rounded shape downlane) and won't be as sensitive to release variations.

The HBs Aren't that assym though.

I'm having the opposite reaction that you describe. You punched all 3 doom?
Teal is strongest in oil got it
Honey gold is the weakest for me of the polished set.
WHB is super skid snap, like super duper. Not very round at all off the spot for a symmetrical core.

Agree with DOOM, I have them all and basically laid out the same, and the white hot badger is the smoothest of them all, but it does still have skid flip reaction just not as much as the  others. In my opinion.
