Just by looking at the numbers, they are very close. The biggest difference in my opinion would be the cover strength. F55 vs. F62. I wouldn't see why you couldn't get the Solar Flare to replace the Double Clutch.

Just as an alternative option, if you are set with a pearl for your benchmark ball, then go for the Solar Flare. However, if you would be interested in a solid for your benchmark ball, then you might be interested in the King Cobra. It has the same cover as the DCP (F55) but will roll a touch earlier and has a little bit less flare. I think it is the closest ball to the 900 Global Favorite from a few years ago, but better. Seems like it gets better every time it comes out of the bag. Just an idea for a solid or something that would compliment the Solar Flare or DCP. Either one or both, I don't think you can go wrong.

That's interesting, because the Favorite was my benchmark ball until I replaced it with the dcp, and I loved it as well.  Only reason I replaced it was because it was 14lb (experiment) but decided to stay with 15lbers.  I have heard that the sure thing was the favorite replacement?

The sure thing is a bit stronger than the favorite.  The king cobra is a great benchmark piece that is for sure. It has been my go to ball since it was released.
