Halo Pearl or Idol Pearl
« on: March 04, 2019, 01:06:02 PM »
I'm looking for a ball between my Trident Abyss and Code Red.  Mainly because at my league shot when i need to transition from my Abyss, my Code Red wont pick up will leave washouts.  So i was looking into either the Halo pearl or Idol pearl.  I wanted to make sure that these would still be a good upgrade and give me more hook than the Code Red since it is a hybrid and these being pearls.   My style is a stroker about 16-17mph.

Halo Pearl would be the one between them, it's not Abyss strong, but the Code Red is still asym and a bit stronger than the sym Idol Pearl.

I don’t understand why asym r2s (code red) would automatically be stronger than any symmetrical ball including the idols. Cover is like 70% of ball reaction iirc. It’s like saying that an aggressive drill idol solid is weaker than the hot cell or the asym plastics simply because the latter balls have asymmetry. That said I do think the halo fits better in this case

The natural step down from an Abyss would be a Golden Jackal.

I was considering the Halo Pearl, but after watching Luke's review of the Super Idol I picked up a Halo Burn (MTrax Pearl Cover) instead. Not sure why my PSO randomly had two of them lying around but he did (I'm in Asia, but not Korea/Japan).

Great ball!
