I was immediately impressed with how smooth off the breakpoint it was reacting for a strong pearl. Long pin or not, our league shot has pretty fresh backends and was hoping the ball wouldn't look like it was kicked left. After the intial read, however, the ball seemed to gather a ton of momentum towards the hole. Hard charging arc that I hadn't seen in a pearl in a long time. I've been having a lot of success with a couple of brunswick pin-down pearls that have a LOT more midlane and a little less backends. So, this ball was going to be a work in progress.
Or, so I thought.
232-300-247=779
Evil good. Sick. Two 10-pins the entire day. Awesome carry and continuation through the pin deck. All of this and the ball looks absolutely second to none. It hits the pocket every bit as good as the damned thing looks, and that's saying something. I'll be looking to get another one of these pills and drill it with the pin under the ring with a tamer MB position to see how it stacks up against the Big B stuff I'd been killing 'em with.

This, along with the rapport I've developed with tekneek, really helped me make an informed decision on a great piece.

revTrex, it was your video of the Break & Break Pearl that pushed me over the edge on this ball. Our games are quite similar. The way the ball looked in your hands helped me pull the trigger.

Eh, so what, Steve? I've now had two people say video = encourages ball purchase = 300. I must be doing something wrong...
...I haven't shot a perfecto yet with mine. I just keep telling myself, though, that I'm saving the next one for the Open (come on, Albuquerque!!!).--------------------

I must have had six people try to get me to pick one of the bad boys up over the past month. I guess they just thought it would match up well with my game. I was too busy enjoying the success of other pieces of equipment that I failed to see the need for yet another pearl in my arsenal. Now, it's eenie, meenie, meinie, moe...which ball do I use to kill da' hole?
