I don't see many posts about the Counter Strike.  I am looking for a particle pearl.

Side by side comparison vs. the Yeah Baby and NS2.....how does the Counter Strike stack up for strength?  

Strengths and weaknesses?

Thanks Barry.  Great minds think alike I thought about a Mystic also.  

I do like LM/L stuff so I thought about the Counter Strike.

Thanks Pat.

I had a Sting as was not all that impressed by it's strength.  Yeah Baby on same line was much stronger same drill and same cover for me by about 3 boards.

I am looking for a particle pearl for inside lines when heads go with carry down present.  Knowing that I'd polish the CS and not leave it OOB for this type of line.

My CS vs NS2 comparison isn't quite side by side - since they're drilled differently, but I go to the CS when my NS2 or Terminator is threatening Brooklyn.  I don't see it having many problems w/carrydown with my style of play.  (a la Norm Duke - just taller and not quite as accurate).

Hate to say anything negative about a Lanemasters ball, but the Counter-Strike just didn't do it for me.  I have a Yeah Baby and had a NS2 (sold it when I moved to the mainland), and the CS just doesn't stack up to those two.  Perhaps it's because it has filler between the core and coverstock, perhaps the conditions I was bowling on weren't right, or maybe I was just bowling crappy.  It just didn't compare to even my Sure Strike, which had a considerably better look on the same or similar conditions.

Just my $.02 (I highly agree with the recommendation for the original Black Pearl...one of the best balls evere made IMHO).

220...221...whatever it takes.
