I personally like this ne better than the original. The Jet Black pearl cover makes this ball get down the lane cleaner (for me... 2 feet longer & 5 boards stronger in the backend) with a bigger backend than the previous Nail.

Very versatile cover to add to this ball... If yu don't have the original Nail, gotta get this one for sure!

How would this ball compare with the Black Widow Pearl ?

About 2-3 feet longer with a little angular backend motion. For me, the BWP was not flippy in the backends for me. Kinda smooth motion. The new Nail with the Jet Black Pearl cover, helps the ball clear the front part of the lane with ease & offer a nice backend motion for recovery.

Hope this helps...

How does this ball compare to the Arson Low Flare?
I'm thinking pretty close or am I way off base?
Thanks

The ALF has a different type of roll compared to the Nail that is more length with angular motion in the backends.... the ALF is smoother overall shape on the lane. I currently use the ALF on the fresh league pattern (wet/dry reaction) then when the lanes open up, I use the new Titanium Nail to open up the lane.... Hope this helps!

Thank you the quick response.
Looks like one will be headed my way.
