I picked up a used one off here a couple months ago.  Honestly, I haven't had a chance to throw it much because I only bowl 1 Sport league during the summer.  When I practiced with it on a house shot, the lanes were too dry to get a good read on the ball.  I did get to use it on some decent oil last weekend.  To me, it's your basic skid/flip resin.  Nothing about it stood out to me.  I could of course change my tune once I have used it a bit more.  A couple games is not enough to judge a ball.

Pretty strong for a pearl.  It's best on medium oil, and not any less.  Needs a fair amount of head oil.  Very strong on the back end, almost sideways fresh out of the box.  Handles carrydown pretty darn well.  When the condition is right, I doubt you'll find a better ball.  It's not real condition specific, but you'll know when to put it up.

I've been told this is the same ball as the Winning Streak, an overseas release. I have the Winning Streak and the Silver Streak SE.

Both balls have just a ton of backend. Even on my sport league this summer, I've had to put those balls up when the backends fly too much.

Overall, I like them both. If you need a pearl and need something extra on the backend, either ball will do.
