Which one would be better for a down and in player on med oiled lanes? Senior bowler, throws around 15mph down ten or five board.His pap is 43/4 over and 3/4 up. I would like to help him so i told him i would ask this question on this forum because i always have received help when i have had a question about anything to do with bowling. Thanks for your time and help.

alex,

You can delete the other topic so there isn't two.  Also I think either one would be good, but it depends on what type of backend reaction he wants.  The Solid will be sooner and smoother on the backend.  The Pearl will be longer and stronger on the backend.  

If he is set on wanting 1 of those two balls that is really the only question he needs to answer and he will know what ball to get.

Thanks,

hey alex,

the ssp is one of the strongest pearls I have ever thrown.  Mine was drilled label and it had a nice strong arc, not snappy.  really nice ball.  the solid might be a bit more tunable as far as the cover goes, polishes or dulls well.  personally I liked the pearl better.
