Like you, I was looking for a “strong†pearl urethane, and opted for the asymmetric Pathogen Plague Pearl. It has been a great performer, and the quality/workmanship seems good as well.
Beautiful ball.
Since then, I have gone back to an all Brunswick lineup, EXCEPT for this one. Since nobody else offers anything similar, this one stays in my bag for those tough shots with flying back ends. Ball hits and carries great on the right pattern.
Would have no problem using more of them. A few years ago, I used the ELITE/BOWLERS PARADISE stuff (also made in China) stuff for an entire season, and still averaged over 200 for the year, and I believe that Pyramid is just as good as anything else out there on today’s house conditions.
