Black Pearl Reactive One Bad Ball
« on: November 07, 2008, 02:02:56 AM »
Well I got my slightly used BPR redrilled last night and headed out to the lanes for a few throws on a pretty fresh house pattern that typically has alittle oob on the outside. WOW, I could literally stand any where and throw anywhere and it was making it back with plenty to spare. Now that I've go that out of my system.

My PAP has moved substantially over the summer, I was at 5" over 0 up. I am now at 3.5" over and 1/8" down. Kindof interesting, looks like I'm coming over the top of it a wee bit. But hey what ever knocks all ten down will work for me.

I had it drilled like this:

o o

   @

This is a new drilling for me that I wanted to start using mainly due to my higher speed, trying to get alittle earlier roll and time to hook. Everything I have heard so far is how consistent this ball is and I can't argue there. I only was able to get in about a game. On Monday I will throw it in league and see how it does. Once I've got a couple weeks on it in league I will give it a review in that section.

I must sing praises for this ball once again. Monday night I used it exclusively playing a very tight line to the pocket 14 at the arrows out to about 11 or so. I had never played this line before, nothing else would be able to handle the amount of oil in that part of the lane and turn the corner with enough power to carry. The only 10 pins I left were if I missed out, it just carried too much angle and that was not the way to carry that night. Because of it's newness to me I wasn't able to play it very accurately, but I did get the only 600 series out of the pair that night, with two 220+ avg bowlers on it. No one else could find anything that would carry consistently enough.

I think what really impresses me about this ball is it's ability to handle oil. No other polished ball I have thrown are as consistent and strong.

But hey just my two cents.
