Title: replacement for the Ti Pearl
Post by: thedjs on April 30, 2005, 08:27:43 AM

What would be a good replacement for the Ti Pearl?  Maybe a Drive or a Detour?

Thanks

There are no equivalents that I know about.
Therefore, I just bought a Messenger Ti B/S/P from Ebay.

I kind of like my Ego; recent aquisition. Seems to go a little longer
and flip a little harder in the back end. Lots of (Super-Flex) power like the Messenger Tis. (Technically it uses UFD, which I am positive is a tweaking of Super-Flex.)

Has the Ti Pearl been officially discontinued?  I still see it listed for sale on online sites.

I have the Ti Pearl and a Drive. ...  I actually bought the Drive to replace the Ti-Pearl and a Game pearl that I had. The Drive isn't as good as either of these balls, at least not for me. It seems that when I have a good shot with the Drive, I have a better shot with the Ti pearl. The TI pearl is definately more versatile, too. ... The Ti-Mess Pearl is without a doubt the best ball that I have ever thrown.

There's something special about that combo of the Ti nugget, that core shape and the Super-Flex Coverstock.

I am also in the midst of picking up a Messenger Ti Traction. (Forget that dull cover; I'm going to sand it to 600 grit, then polish it up to 1000-1500 grit. Make a real ball out of it!)
