Suggestion(s) for a very angular Pearl needed
« on: July 06, 2009, 02:20:08 PM »
Let me start by saying that I know that ball motion is most influenced by release, coverstock, and drilling.

What I am looking for is the combination of core and covertock (in a current ball) that offers really good potential for a ball that goes long and makes an immediate left on the dry. I'm talking about a ball that has a very angular move as soon as it hits the dry and can cover a lot of boards in a short time. (Note: this ball will be for my brother; specs and game are similar to mine). Conditions will be medium oil house shot, 35-37' long. Ball specs will be 14 or 15 lb, 3 inch pin.

Company manufacturer unimportant - we'll consider all reasonable suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

Although recently discontinued, the Brunswick Swarm sounds like it could fit the bill.  Reasonably priced ball, with a hard snap off the dry.

The Rattler is more angular for me than my Swarm, but both are nice. You can polish a Wild Thing, too. This ball is amazing!

The 715 isn't pearl.  You may be thinking the 505.

The ball that goes longest and snaps like a mother for me is the Emerald Vibe.
When I throw it my team mates say I thought it was never coming back. Its ok for med to light oil. On a sport shot you must stay up the back or it will skid to much. I have bowled 300/805 with it. and best thing low priced about $120. so it payed for its self many times.

How about the Reign? I haven't seen it thrown myself, but I talked to Rhino Page in Vegas and he said its a good long ball with a great back end.

I would say go for a Visionary New Breed Pearl or a 900 Global Break Point Pearl. These are two of the most angular balls I have ever seen.
