Incinerate Pearl vs. Solar Flare
« on: November 12, 2013, 12:13:55 PM »
Anyone able to give me input on both these balls? What's similar and what's different? I know the difference in core/cover, I'm just looking for some real world input.

I'm looking for a pearl to step down to from my Bounty when the heads start to go. Right now, my step down is a weak layout Crossroad that is smooth and doesn't have enough in the backend. In short, I'm just looking for a step down that will be clean through the heads and have a good amount of recovery on the backend.

For me the Solar Flare gives more length and slightly more recovery. The incinerate pearl ended up being a little smoother for me due to the stronger cover. You might want to consider the Vixen too. The Vixen gives me even more in the back on a medium volume THS.....

Thanks tdub

That's what I was expecting, except most people(ads) tout the Incinerate Pearl for big backend. I like the Eagle Pearl, but I feel like the Solar Flare will fill my gap and not give me very much overlap

Usually for me I start with the eagle pearl and once its time to make a move I can switch over to the solar flare and keep striking. The Vixen probably let's me get the deepest of all the new stuff.
