New ball to add
« on: November 08, 2021, 03:39:07 PM »
Looking for something that will handle more oil than the Marvel Pearl. I love the MP and have 2 of them, however sometimes I need a ball on fresh that is stronger but similar in shape. I was thinking of the Zen, Axiom Pearl or the Phase 3. I really want to stay with a symmetrical core and either a hybrid or pearl. I already have some solids, but they do not carry for me like the MP. I am leaning toward the Zen, as I have heard nothing but great things about it. I throw 14 lb. if that makes a difference. Any input would be appreciated.

I would definitely go with the Zen. I just got mine and love it. Personally I never throw a pearl on a fresh shot due to the fact that you're trying to break the lanes down.....not push oil around.

I always start with a solid. If you're that worried about carry.....makes sure your solid is highly polished! The Axiom is not a bad choice either. I don't think its as dynamic as the Zen but it carries well.
Some days you're the bug....some days you're the windshield...that's bowling!

Go with a Zen and knock the shine off if you want even a little more separation

Another vote for the Zen. I have the Marvel Pearl, Axiom Pearl and just got the Zen. The Zen is a great and versatile ball. My favorite of the 3.
