Stronger in what since?  What type of reaction are you looking to get?  Skid-snap or more continuous arc?

If i'm not mistaken the pearl would be more of the skid-snap and the VG would be more continuous right? The problem is i'm not quite sure what type of reaction i'm looking for, just lookin for my ball to move more than what my cell does right now. I'm just not sure. I would consider myself a stroker with a medium to medium-fast ball speed.

Edit: Also i have watched a few ball reviews on youtube.com for the two balls and it seems that the VG seems to move a lot more than the pearl with the same people throwing them. Here are the videos just for reference.

the cell pearl and the vg will both almost skid snap.. the vg pick up a hair more in the mid lane. but imo that's just because its at 4000 not polished like the cp. I think both balls are similar if drillings and cover prep are the same. if tou want more ball than you cell have you ever thought about changing the surface of it? or have you already?

You haven't entered a profile, so I don't know your level of expertise.  Consider treating yourself to some lessons instead of a new ball.  --  JohnP

Thanks for all your other recommendations but all i want is a new ball and i'm having a hard time deciding which one. Also i updated my profile. So does anyone own both of these balls? If so how do they react for you?
