Dry is relative.
Last night I couldn't keep the Barrage on the right side of the head pin, by the 3rd game, even throwing as hard as I could with as flat, an end-over-end release.
I had the Crisis Pearl with me and it was fine, for the first game and that was it.
Dry is relative.
The Barrage handles more dry than the Crisis Pearl and is normally my spare ball. But there are times that you need a pearl urethane or a plastic ball for a strike ball. The Crisis Pearl is definitely a full step up from the Barrage in oil handling. Both are great balls.
