For me, it works nicely when my Action Packed is a little too strong off the dry, the UTPP will smooth it out and give me a more predictable motion in the mid-lane. I've struggled with this ball when the oil gets down the lane, but then again I have a bag full of balls that I struggle with on that condition so it's probably more a limitation of my game than a limitation of the ball. I really liked the Wow Pearl and this ball gives me a similar motion, just cleaner through the front and a little stronger move off the spot. I also had a Formula that I shot 300 with, but I never really cared for the ball that much because carry was so inconsistent and, in my opinion, bears no resemblance to the UTPP. I recently drilled an Action, Action Packed, and U-Turn Particle Pearl with the UTPP being my favorite and the most versatile for my game. Hope this helps.
