Pearl Ball for med oily conditions
« on: February 22, 2011, 10:45:27 PM »
I have found that some pearlized bowling balls do better than others in the presence of oil.  I was wondering which pearlized bowling balls your readers would recommend that can handle oil better than most.

You're not bowling on oil then...and tThe Anarchy is the most oil sensitive ball I have ever seen.  If you polish a solid it will give you almost the same downlane motion w/o the overskid...like a Taboo.

I've had success with the Mutant Cell Pearl on Med-Heavy.

In my neck of the woods most people these days are using either one of the two Missions out for med to med-hvy oil. The Mission 2.0, or the Mission 250K.

 

Personally I prefer the Nomad Pearl or a Dark Star, but that's just me. A Cell pearl or a Mutant Cell pearl will also handle surprising amounts of oil. But ultimately it's your choice!

From Visionary, New Breed Particle Pearl and reactive Pearl as well as the Ogre Pearl, which is probably the most underrated ball.

Before recently selling all of my Lane 1 balls,  I had really good luck on medium oil with the Lane 1 Blue Death.

I'm gonna put in a vote for the Loaded Revolver. This ball has been absolutely amazing for me. It's cover handles more oil than any other pearl I've used to date, yet finishes strong. I barely knocked some gloss off the cover and wow!

 

I sold one last week to a guy who has been bowling for 40 years and all he could say is that "it's the sweetest ball he has EVER thrown."
