How would a polished Over Time compare to a big time pearl. I am thinking of getting a new ball and I was wondering how these would compare.

A 299 is good, but doesn't it make you mad you were so close to a 300

Medium to medium heavy.  Driller recommended for me to add a ball with a strong back end. He said the Over time would be to much of an arc. So I was wondering if the over time polished would give a strong back end instead of an arc shaped reaction.  

My Atomic charge is very weak and polished, so it is great on med to med dry.

I'd definately recommend the XXcel for good carry and strong back end. It doesn't react as soon as the XXXcel, and is a whole lot cheaper than The One right now. The One would probably be ideal for the strongest back end reaction, but I hear so many mixed reviews about whether you should keep the OOB coverstock or and it down to 1 or 2 thousand that I'm just not sure. They were right about the Over Time though, it's just a stronger version of the Apex Obsession in my opinion. It has a long smooth arc.

Look for me in the upcoming PBA Tour! I'll be the guy in the back row with the foam finger singing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" during the 7th inning.
