Don't know much about the Nano or Infinite Theory but I own an Encounter and would have a hard time categorizing it as a strong pearl. For me it's a very good ball for medium to medium heavy shots. I know two guys who own the Taboo Dark electric blue/ Silver pearl and it's a beast on heavier, longer shots. You might want to look at it.

Remove Infinite Theory (hybrid)
Insert Critical Theory (Pearl)

^ What he said ^. The Critical Theory is as strong a pearl as you will find.

My point is that the Infinite is not a pearl. It's a hybrid.

The Marvel Pearl fits in there too. Very strong. When the Nano Pearl was pinging 10 pins, the Marvel Pearl carried the world for him.
The new Track 811A SE also seems to fit somewhere in this category. Some videos show promise, still not sure exactly how strong it is. Good review in new issue of BTM. Extremely flippy, though.
The new Radical Slant Hybrid seems to be very similar to the Infinite Theory (polished solid/pearl combo with asymmetric core) , so throw that into the mix as well.

I haven't tried an Encounter but I have an Omen that rolls real good.

my infinite is an amazing ball, very effortless thru heads (almost freaky easy) then a smooth but hard hitting backend, never jumpy. love the infinite, fanatastic on lanes starting to wear and move too much for stronger stuff

What about the Seismic Raging Bull Charged, pretty strong pearl but is not too jump off the spot.

Even tho the infinite is a hybrid, it does act like pearl...more so than the critical...the critical is a flippier solid on steroids....aka pearl without polish...
My strong pearl vote will go the infinite hands down its the most versatile pearl/hybrid I've owned since the Hyroad...
