Been a storm roto guy for awhile now and just bought my first global ball since the bounty hunter( which I thought was a turd). I bought an ordnance pearl based off a teammates success with the drift. I hope it’s as good as it looks in the videos because I would love to buy some more balls from global in the future. Has anyone thrown it and have some solid insight on it?

I was looking at the flux as well, but just got a physix in a summer ball league so I wanted a different shape and reaction. I can say the new global stuff looks really good and is reminding me of the stuff storm was putting out 10 years ago that made me a fan of them

Welcome! I was a Storm & Brunswick guy for ages, and then I got turned into Global. IMO, Global rolls a lot like Roto Grip stuff.

I'm a fan of Global covers - they have the widest variety of cover strengths out of any brand or family of brands. I highly suggest their benchmark balls. The Truth Tour and X2 are two of my favorite balls, and are great balls for grinding out a game when the lanes aren't cooperating.

Well the ball just came and although the box was marked 3.5-4 inch pin the ball inside has like a 2-2 1/4 inch pin. Will I still be able to lay it out pin up?

Yeah, you're good. The CG (center of gravity) affecting drills & reactions is an urban legend. Use any pin distance with any top weight however you want!
