I prefer the solid......but overall not much difference with the same surface.

I'm LH around 14.5mph, not a high rev guy, what I am looking for is something to play deeper on the lane. I start the night with my BW Legend and by the last game line is burnt ( 2nd arrow) but don't have anything allowing me to move in that will turn the corner and still get the 7pin out.

The solid at box finish will go long like plastic. I had to really adjust the surface to get a decent look. The pearl at box finish was a much better ball for me. Id consider trying the Score

I would recommend the Yeti Uncaged for what your describing. I use mine for that type of situation/condition and have had good success with it.

RB, just curious to know if the Uncaged takes well to surface changes?

I get the impression it's a pearl solid in the mode of the original Reax Pearl, the latter being what Phil once described to me.
Ball speed avg. (18.25 mph)
Rev rate avg. (400-428 rpm)

I haven't done any to mine but if I remember correctly, from one of our conference calls, Tom Hess did change the surface on one of his and loved it.
If you are wanting to stay in the Reax line you could pick up the Gusto. I use mine when I run into lighter patterns or high friction surfaces.
