Hey everyone, I recently recieved a Jade Pearl Piranha from a very generous and great guy from here on BR.

I left it with its current drill, and drilled thumb hole out a little just so it would fit.


I had no expectations from this ball being as it is around 12 to 15 years old.

I have been throwing it on my typical house shot.

I have been shooting 220's & 230's with it! I've bowled 10 to 15 gmaes and I would say the lowest game is prolly a 170. Atleast 10 were 220+. Its insane.

The best part is, I cna use it when the lanes are fresh. When they break down, I just move my index finger in adn I am golden.


I almost believe this ball is magic! LOL.


Anyone use to own this ball? Please share your thoughts..


Anyone still throwing one??

Thanks for reading!

Kyle

I bet a great ball in the lineup with similar specs and performance is the panic!

Beautiful on medium fresh for a near straight up the boards and then subsequent small swings!

Sweet!

If the panic is truly similar. I may look into buying one in the future. I love this ball! I have not put it down since I got it!
