Fury Pearl Replacement
« on: January 09, 2009, 04:22:54 AM »
Anyone have a good replacement for a Fury Pearl.  I switched to 15 lbs after the Fury Pearl was discontinued.  I have tried a couple balls to try to get the same reaction and have not found anything to come close.  Any ideas?  Brand does not matter.

Yah I know I can get one off of ebay but I was just wondering if there was a newer ball that has close to the same motion.

Just a thought.  You may could take a Wild Ride and adjust the cover and put a rolly type drilling in it.  Would you put the Fury Pearl between the Smash Zone and Wild Ride?

Taking the surface down on a Rattler could get you pretty close to the reaction of the Fury Pearl.  I've thrown the Rattler in box finish, and it gives me a very similar look to what I get from my polished Fury Pearl (drilled identically, 5" pin-to-PAP above fingers), except it doesn't wiggle quite as much in front, nor does it break the lane down as quickly as the Fury Pearl tended to do.

I was looking at the Hammer Psycho or Toxic.  Both seem pretty similar.  But after reading, and doing research, I think I am just going to have to order one off of ebay.  2 tournaments in a row now I was kicking myself for not having one in the bag.

Are 15 pound Fury Pearls that hard to find? Pretty sure a shop here still has a 15 pounder.

Twisted Furys are working great for strokers with less hand on the right condition if drilled properly. With the help of asymmetry, I believe Wild Ride can be drilled and prepared to replace Fury Pearl.

However, I too prefer to drill a Fury Pearl to replace a Fury Pearl, since it was one of the best matches in terms of core-coverstock and versatility. Most unfortunate that it faded out under the shadow of the Solid Fury's bad reputation.

..  Also, Brunswick has not had good luck with higher rg balls since the first infernos came out. .


They tended to ignore mids and seemed effected from carry down much. On the other hand, for strokers I've drilled for, they worked great WITH rougher surfaces. Mainly 2000 abralon or 4000 abralon and rough buff over something 220-400 US range.

If I were to speak of Brunswick's "long & strong" balls, which, almost everyone of them were hit-miss for most
Not everyone of them were, actually, high RG balls but mid-low RG balls.
Blazing:
RG-min: 2.531
RG-diff.:0.033
Activator
This ball was great IMO, only it should have been drilled a bit stronger due to the lower diff for most with relatively less hand. Just like in Twisted Fury Pearl. (I'm not talking about harder surface ones. That's another story)
Intense:
RG Min: 2.529
RG Diff: 0.046
Activator Plus
Worked great with 2000 abralon for speed dominants and 4000 abralon for average bowlers.
Smokin: (very close to Fury Pearl's core specs)
RG-min: 2.497
RG-diff.: 0.042
Activator Advanced
Again worked with 4000 abralon or rough buff over something 220-400 US range.
Radical: (stronger core than Fury Pearl)
RG-min: 2.463
RG-diff: 0.050
Octane
Seemed to work with rougher surfaces like 1000 abralon on oiler conditions. However, to be honest, I tended to not prefer this ball with any of the surface preparation..

Not to include in this category but to compare core numbers:
Fury Pearl
RG-min:   2.471
RG-diff: 0.044
