If anyone has rolled with this ball please help. Is this ball meant for medium or light condidtion? What is this ball's strength...does it go long and move hard on the back... or is a midlane type of ball? thanks!

Lol! A guy was throwing the Silver Diamond tonight! He played down 4 board and the ball went probably 45-50 feet and came in hard and hit hard! It was the third game. so i guess this ball is designed to go long or for a bit drier condition. If you have thrown this ball please help, thanks.

In general, it's for light to medium-light oil in today's environment. PK 18 pearl is still strong, but the ball doesn't flare a lot. Medium to medium-high RG (2.527 - 2.551, RG DIff of .024 - .028.

It used to be for medium-light to mediums, when it first came out, but times and oil change. Your rev rate and ball speed will govern how you use it. I wouldn't drill it too weakly, if I were you. Surface adjustments will alllow some versatility.
