Author Topic: V2 Clean = Solid polished or pearl? (Read 1886 times)

I've seen the Clean and it almost looked like a pearl.

Now I see definition says polished solid.

I've read a bunch of reviews and noted higher rg than the V2 pearl.

Which is longer cleaner etc.?

HOw does one compare them?

Clean is a polished solid and the V2 Pearl is longer and the V2 sweet is also longer. Somewhat because of the actual solid coverstock. Being good freinds with an ebonite staffer and going to differrent demo days I have seen the clean and sweet side by side and I also have seen the V2 pearl many times. In order of length I would say this V2 pearl, V2 Sweet, V2 Clean. Thats longest to shortest. The V2 clean has good backend and length but is generally more archy than the other two mentioned.

I find the V2 pearl is a very strong core and even though drilled with a weak pin(about 4 3/4 to 5) it still even on a long oil shot wants to swing a little with it's strong hard working core.

My eyes tell me that the V2 Clean is a little later and weaker core on a stronger coverstock leading to a little straighter play. Correct?

Yes the Clean will definitely play better with a more direct (straighter) line like I said it is a solid and it is a really smooth rolling ball read the mids very well but it just doesn't maintain as much for the backend as i have seen with the pearl. The pearl does have a slightly lower RG but also has a slightly higher diff. which is I think where you get the extra backend also of course the pearl cover. They are both great balls but different enough to give you some vesatility and viable to have both in the bag.

You're nutz...

Lets see, we have two short (Low RG) cores with fairly strong diffs and almost the same coverstock (trimax & a blended trimax) vs a medium tall core with slightly less diff wrapped in a cover that has an oil-allergy.

hmmmmmmm

earliest and strongest of the 3 is the sweet, followed very closely by the v2 pearl.

the clean is the longest of the three. i see a little sharper reaction in the friction, combined with a little less total hook.

I am not Nutz. There I changed my wording to somewhat because of the solid coverstock I think that better explains my point.

I am also not one to argue and i am not a Guru but every clean I have seen is earlier than the sweet or the pearl. All the V2 pearls I have seen were very lengthy balls. However the sweets Rg is lower than the clean which would make it start up earlier but I am just talking of personal experience it seems to be longer it does have a slightly higher diff than the clean.

Hey I wear contacts and my prescription is current man. I guess it could be the people throwing them and the drill patterns ever think of that

seeing a couple of these thrown by one of our center's better tourney bowlers(w/same drillings)

v2 sweet is definately longer than the Clean(actually he now put a matte finish on his sweet and can get it to turn the corner earlier)

the pearl is real long but ive got a early rolling drill on mine(if i can consistently get lots of forward roll on it, its a BEAST, but on dry dry stuff it hits like a wet sack)
