Title: Whip Lash Pearl......Anyone Used it?
Post by: Spider Ball Bowler on August 18, 2006, 01:36:34 PM
I was just curious if anyone had ever thrown or known someon who had thrown a Whip Lash Pearl?

I'm pretty interested to see results of using this ball.

Thank You!!

Take me back to the mid 90's, when Columbia 300 was the RAGE, Ebonite was slangin' dem WOLF tickets, Brunswick had ATTITUDE, and El Nino was in the eye of the STORM.

I have two of them. Drilled mine pin between and above the fingers. Ball gets through the heads very easily while still maintaining a good midlane read. Mine works well on medium light to light oil. The hit isn't spectacular, but it seems to carry a ton for me.

I got them cheap as well, it was a very good investment.

I've had 4 of them. Shot a 300 with the first. It cracked, so I got another one. Shot 299 with it. I still have 1 that I use and 1 that is NIB. Works well polished, or with just a little surface. You can not go wrong for what you can get one for now.

Thanks, but I have a similar ball already; I was just "yanking his chain".
