Title: Black Pearl specs are SICK.... hmmm
Post by: Hand of God on October 17, 2006, 06:16:22 PM
The ball-talker cards, and flyers from LM/L website show the BP as a medium to medium heavy oil ball, with a strong arc reaction and prently of power and traction... and it obviously will get through the heads like a dream since its pearl.. so.. that being said

I am gonna drill one up real soon and I am gonna drill it strong, stacked leverage for playing deep on those medium house patterns.

Anyone else thrown one yet?  

Anyone drill one strong?

Tell me all about it please?

I'm a righty stroker 235 rpms off my hand, 17 mph ball speed, axis rotation is 75-80 degrees, axis tilt is 15-20 degrees,and my PAP is 4 3/4 and 1/2 up.
Here's my BP:
Black Pearl: 3 oz TW and 3 1/2" pin, 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 layout,
             pin above & right of the ring, cg 3/8" above the midline, OOB

Check my earlier posts on the BP for my feedback and impressions ...

It's strong. On a medium THS it is 4-5 boards stronger than my World Class R, both drilled stacked. It is a strong arc, very nearly skid/snap.

For you people that have thrown both the WCR and the Black Pearl, does the Black Pearl.....

1. Turn the corner on less dry than the WCR?
2. Handle carry down better than the WCR?
3. Is the BP more versatile and will it handle a larger variety of lane conditions than the WCR?

Well it seems as though the BP is very close to the Terminator.. even on the spec sheets... so I may want some thing that goes long and gets through the heads, with a strong back end...  and since the Big R Bang is a solid that gives me a little more faith in it... for medium oil, when my Terminator starts reading early on the outside after the secoond game.  My Big Bang checks up when I switch to it, because its partical...''

So I think maybe the Big R Bang will be my medium oil ball.... since I got decent speed and alot of revs, I am hoping for somethaing that will open up the lanes when they start to break down, and something with enough strength in the back end to recover from deep shots.

any thoughts?

Thanks Robb. Although I do like my WCR and it is a great ball under the right conditions, I just want something similar but more Versatile than it is.
