Is there really enough of a gap between the Cell Pearl and say the Venus?

Given that neither of the balls are drilled way too differently to make them react differently than what they were designed for.

I know the Illusion line (and soon to be the Nomad line) actually is the line that is right between these...

But I mean really, if you are on a shot and using the Cell Pearl and then the ball starts to come up high, is there really a need to go down to an Illusion Pearl or would you just be better off going from the Ceall Pearl to the Venus and skipping the Illusion Pearl? Because if you do go to the Illusion Pearl, the ball might only work for 2-3 frames before you end up having to go to the Venus. And that may do more harm than good?

It just seems that if the Cell Pearl is hooking too much, that the Illusion Pearl (and possibly the Nomad Pearl - since it is supposedly the line that is replacing the Illusions) will be "similarly" strong also, and you may not get to use it but 2-3 frames before you have to change to the Venus anyway... so why even pick up the Illusion Pearl?


So in essence of what I am saying... most people would have this Arsenal (and possibly too much Clutter and Overlap):

Cell
Rogue Cell
Cell Pearl
Illusion Pearl (Nomad Pearl)
Venus
Neptune


Where as, it may be more effective when you are in an actual competition in the heat of the moment to have this as your Arsenal (with good seperation bewteen each ball):

Cell
Cell Pearl
Venus
Neptune



Thoughts and Opinions?

Would you need to change balls at all? Could you not just move a little left or increase your speed?

I buy a lot of stuff but not a whole lot from one company. I like to mix it up a little.

You could buy three of the same pearl ball and drill them to roll differently to progress though as you bowl and the lanes break down. Not to mention having one with more polish then the previous ones for when the lanes get drier.

Start the first pearl with a leverage pattern. Have the pin below your right finger, the cg kicked right and a weight hole on or around your PAP.

      X  X
         0    
           CG  WH
       
        X    

Do the next with the pin above the right finger and the cg in the palm on or close to your center grip line. Or maybe above the bridge with the same cg location.

        0
      X   X

        CG

        X

The last put the pin negative below the middle finger and either keep the cg in the palm or kick it a little right and put a weight hole down from your pap closer to the thumb


     X   X
     O
       
          CG

       X      WH


O= Pin  WH= Weight Hole CG= Center of gravity.

That gives you an earlier aggressive roll, a later skid snap roll, and a longer length aggressive skid snap roll.
