I was just wondering what ball in the radical lineup  would be similar to the melee jab. I was thinking the intel pearl. any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance

If you can, I would look for a Cyclops Pearl. Staffers and Mo Pinel had that as the closest ball to the Jab in the Brunswick line up.

I got an Edge Pearl NIB off eBay for dirt cheap. They have the newer coverstock base. I haven't drilled it yet but my new league house shot it very pearl friendly so I might give it a try. It seems to be a beloved ball from staffers.

Depends on what "stronger" means to you. I would say no, it's a pinch weaker. Still a very good ball and fairly similar especially on a house shot.

I'd get an Intel Pearl, the cyclops line didn't do much good like the Intel's are.

October is usually a new release month for the Brunswick family, I would say they're probably due for a replacement of the Cyclops line.

The Brunswick Edge Pearl was a copy of the Jab.
