Big time pearl is much more flippy than energy is, the energy i have with a 3 1/2 x 4 drilling was super smooth. You might want to consider a smoothier ball in the new Overtime i have it a 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 drilling and it is nice moving ball with polish i suspect it would still be less flippy than the big time pearl.

I also have 2 big times 1 at 1000 abralon and ebonite factory finish polish and 1 at 2000 abralon no polish, these balls are both very strong backend movers. As you can tell i am not a huge fan of big time pearl from watching at 10 bowlers using it versus polished big times which everyone i know use with great success.
