Try taking the initial out-of-box shine off the ball. Mine was a bit weak too , but once I used it for a good number of games and burnt off the shine, it rolls much stronger.

The reason the ball skids futher then you want is because it is a pearl. When you get a pearl reactive it skids further then any other reactive. Now when you get a pearl partcile it will react like a weakly drilled strong reactive. Think of it like this. If you take a action and drill it pin over middle and cg stable, and you take a uturn pearl and drill it with pin under cg kicked out it will react more like the action drilled with the above drilling. Rather then it starting up and early rolling like a normal particle. You can sand it down but you are taking away from what the ball was made for. It is made for people who like the arc a particle ball gives but want it for medium oil condidtions. Now if you wanted the uturn for oil you should have gotten the normal particle. When ever any ball is pearled it will want to go longer no matter what the cover is. Look at the action and action packed. The packed is a pearl type version. Hope that helps.

and I said "PLEASE, I ONLY WANT TO GET ONE MORE BALL." he responded "THAT WAS WHAT 12 BALLS AGO." I said back "WELL, YA BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT."

I guess it all depends on your arsenal, but for me the UTPP is a great compliment to the Action Packed.  Being a little longer and smoother off the dry, it's a nice step down from my AP.  I was actually thinking of drilling another one without a hole because I like the first one so much.
