Title: dirty bomb or pearl cobalt bomb?
Post by: chitown on March 26, 2007, 01:30:07 AM

Can someone compare the dirty bomb to the pearl cobalt bomb?  I'm getting one of these and not sure which to get.  Not the hybrid dirty bomb.

I used to have a pearl Cobalt Bomb and feel it's a very good reactive pearl.  I have never seen a dirty bomb rolled before.

Cobalt pearl is slightly longer.
If I could only have one, it would be the Cobalt.
I use the Cobalt much more often than the Dirty Bomb.

DB handles the oil much better better than the Pearl Cobalt.  the PC will skid too much if there is no dry break point.

DB is a nice (kinda) strong arc .. PC is more like skid-hook-set to me

I would go with the DB for sure.  now if you want to bring in the Solid Cobalt, that's another story

I have them both. DB starts a little later and is stronger to the pocket for me. Cobalt is a little squirrely on me sometimes. I use it for late in the set mostly. DB I have not really given a chance yet, I only got it 3 weeks ago..... and have only thrown maybe 2 games with it..... Just shooting too damn well with my 1-2 punch.... 2 Uranium Pearls. One dull and one sheen finished...... Now I added a XXXL (red) to those....

Thanks for the reply's.  

I decided to pull the trigger on the pearl cobalt bomb.  I owned one when it first came out and thought it was a very good ball.  I will probably use a different layout this time.
