I am in need of a strong pearl ball, I have one pearl which is a buzz, and it is still up in the air if I match up with it well. The house I bowl at for league use to be a heavier shot, until they started having a league before us so we get second shift, and they are playing more medium than before. my ball I have been using is my Hawgzilla and some nights it works for a little bit, then starts to leave more tens than I would like and if I go to far right it will hit like a wet noddle or roll out and hit the 3-6.

My buzz doesn't seem to want to finish possibly because of the weaker layout I gave it, and I feel there is gap in my arsena; that needs a styrong pearl that will get good length and not read the mids to much, with a hard turn in the back. I have been wanting this so that I can open up the lanes, with enough energy and turn to make it back without leaving the 10 pin as much.

The 2 balls I have narrowed it down to is the Roto Grip Illusion, and Black widow Pearl. I have heard nothing but good things so far about the Illusion, and many good things about the BWP, with a few that weren't so good. I am trying to find out which ball has more steam on the backend, but still gets nice length to it. I will say I am sorta leaning to the BWP but It is still in the air.

Any help you guys could throw in on these 2 balls would help, and which one might suit me the best. Thanks

The Immortal Pearl would not be hard to layout at all.  Due to that high flaring core and you being a power player, pin over the ring finger with the cg stacked and no weight hole and you are gravy.  You will not have to drill it exotic simply because the core already flares enough for you.  Plus, with your high track, track flare is really important.  The IP is the ticket.

SPider ball bowler, I guess I haven't been paying attention to my signature, about 6 months ago i was bowling with my friends using my absolute power, and goofing off i tried throwing it over the gutter into the lane next to me trying a trick shot which was stupidity, it came out of my wrong and landed on the edge of the gutter hard and took a 2 inch chunk out of the ball right in my track area, so the ball was then useless, so we shot it with a gun a few times, it is now deceased.

I really like the black widow pearl, I just need some more info on it, I am worried that is even being a pearl is going to be a sponge like the original, I clean my balls after every set with Lanemaster cleaner, and clean and dull on a regular basis, but over time the widow still needs to be hot water bathed to bring it back to its original reaction, i don't like having to deal with those things as often as you do with that ball. If the sister is less spongey as the original that would be awesome.

I have been really interested in the Nsane LevRG since hearing about it the other day, never tried a Morich ball and have been tempted to.
