Silver Streak Pearl vs. Eraser Blaze vs. Messenger Ti Pearl
« on: July 01, 2003, 11:24:59 AM »
which would you choose for medium oil conditions?

I'm going to move up to 14 lbs and have been thinking in getting one of the above. Please let me know what you think of each. I also welcome other suggestions

I'd have to look to make sure they all use a good core in the 14 pounders.  Some companies use modified cores in their lighter equipment.  I think 14# is safe.  Silver Streak Pearl will be the strongest, Blaze second, and the Ti Messenger the weakest.  SSP is the snappiest, and the Blaze can be made to arc the easiest because of the light particle cover.

Your profile says you already have the Blaze?  With your slow ball speed the Ti Messenger would be my choice.  The SSP is a great ball, but hard to control unless you're pretty accurate and can repeat shots.

Thanks Strider and back-end!

Yup, I currently have a Blaze (13 lbs) which has around 200 games in it. I like the ball alot, however, I would have to agree with back-end that the Blaze reaction does get weaker the more you use.

By the way, I forget to include that I'm looking for a skid-snap ball. I usually play between the 1st and 3rd arrow (I'm a right handed). Haven't really gotten the comfort of playing past the 3rd arrow so I guess any "arcing-type" ball is out of the question

Anyone else?

SSp is the way to go. I have a 14 that I throw and it does carry well.  Also skid snap

I have a 14 lb messenger Ti pearl.  Not sure if you are looking at the Messenger Ti or the pearl version of it.  I have mixed feelings about this ball.  Many times, the ball just won't react, even on light oil.  And I get so angry with it I tell myself I am going of get rid of it, but then the next week it will do wonderfully.  Make sure you keep this ball polished, and I would say this ball is a medium to light oil ball.  I have a label drilling on it I do believe.  So overall, I'd say this ball is wonderful if on the exact lane conditions it's meant for, very condition specific.
