So some of you may know me but im a lane #1 Staffer.
Bowler: Henry Trutwin
Rev Rate 500-550
Speed 17-18
Ball: Pearl Panther drilled 4x4 with a 2-3 inch 15lbs
Surface: OOB
I had my Pearl Panther for about 3 weeks now and i will say, this is my favoit ball now. The Pearl Panther really reacts well to the dry parts of the lane. On wood Lanes i have more snap and synthedics i have less snap but over all the hook is about the same on both wood and synthedic. The black panther and my Buzzbomb carnage are my go to balls for heavy oil and when the lanes start to burn up the pearl panther is a life saver but i can use this ball on heavy oil as well. The pearl panther is a cool looking ball, and it hits like a truck. I would say this ball would rank close to the top for the best Lane #1 balls.
Now this ball is very consistant and works well on kegel and sport shots. i was think it would have a sharp snap to it since it pearl and it kinda dose but thats cause of my rev rate. I would say that the pearl panther dosent read my mid-lane as much as the Black Panther and Buzzbomb Carnage which gives it a edge when the lanes are starting to transition for oily to dry, the Pearl Panther compliments the Balck Panther with the BP reading the mid-lane and being able to handle heavy oil, and the Pearl Panther more of a mid oil ball.
So i would rate this ball 10 out of 10
