I would put the Warrior Elite as earliest and smoothest, followed by the Warrior, and then the GB2 Phenom Pearl.

Warrior Elite has 13.3 hybrid
Warrior has 13.3 pearl
Phenom Pearl has 11.2 pearl

In theory the Elite will be strongest and smoothest while the Phenom Pearl will be longest and most angular of the 3

And that's how they roll.  For me the phenom pearl is about 3 weaker in the front than the original warrior.  Its' about as much on the back as well.  I'm normally 5 or 6 left of the warrior when I throw the elite.  It's pretty strong for a hybrid.  Of the 3, the phenom pearl is my favorite, it's a really good piece.

Thanks for the replies.  I have the Red Warrior and the Elite.  For me, with my slow speed, both are very strong.  The Red I have at 3000 Abralon and heavy polish and it works fairly well if I move left.  The Elite I had at box but with a lot of polish and it's still too strong.  Today I removed the polish and changed the surface to 4000 Abralon.  I'll see how that works tomorrow in league.  If not, back to square one.

I'm thinking that if I can't get the surface changes to work, I may look into the Phenom Pearl.  Sounds like it might be just what I'm looking for.

Thanks again.
