This ball fills the gap between over reactive mid-performance and lame-hitting low performance. Dispurses backend power after breezing through broken heads. On drying conditions, this ball gives control and power. That's all you need.

Well i had this ball drilled up 9-10-02 and it was so i had something when the lanes are super dry, which is what they are putting out for the three leagues i bowl on.  The oil pattern is a simple Top Hat 38ft, i believe, and dry backends and dry outside 10. I was using a Trauma drilled weak, with the CG and MC2 in the weak position, with the pin under my fingers. I had the big hit drilled Storm #2 layout, with the pin under my fingers and CG kicked out in the Positive
to make it able to turn the corner, and a 1oz of negative taken out to kill it. i know it sounds weird but, well the ball still turns the corner when it hits the dry backends, or dry outside.  But i will say that this ball does hit with power! i left several solid 9's but, for someone who has alot of hand, and bowls in a house that has dry backends, or uses short oil patterns this ball is good for it. And i myself only payed 80$ for it. So i look at it this way, at least i didnt pay 250$ for it! But anyways i was bowling on lanes that was oiled for women, and it was after leagues was done, so i will post another message, monday night so i can see how it works on my saturday league and monday league. But so far i like the ball because it gets down the lanes and makes a nice smooth but big turn. But this ball is gives you more than what it seems, and the 80$ you pay for it is well worth it!

Ok, well this is my second review on this ball.  Well I havent used on a league since the first time, but i have been using it in practice, and i notice that when the temp drops and the oil doesnt move as much, the ball works great and i can play how i intended to with this ball.  And when i could play 15-10 the ball does hit with power, the problem i had was, the night i used it i was playing 4th arrow out to 10, and it was losing its power when it would make the turn, because i had to throw the ball harder than i wanted to, when it was warmer out, because the oil in the house i bowl in was breaking down fast. But anyways this ball is great for playing inside of 3rd arrow, thats where the ball will be most effective.

needed a ball for dryer condition,with screaming backends
picked up a b.h.p. with 4 oz. top drilled with pin over bridge for length.
ball gets down with very little effort,but has a good strong move back to pocket.
very surpised for a 80.00 ball. off the drill press started league with 1st 9 and a nice pocket 7-10....
but if you run into a dry house can complain for the money.
dont expect the hit like your gonna get from the traumas and erasers,
but it is a hard hitting ball for the condition you are on.

This Big Hit pearl is an excellent ball for the price goes long, enough backend consistant roll with impressive carrying power. On 8-13-02 shot a 300 with it not bad for 70.00 ball

I've been looking for a reactive ball for fried lanes for a loooong time, and man have I found it. Drilled mine with pin over middle finger and cg close to center of palm. I can almost play up the boards on toast with this thing. Example: Using a polished ultra hot drilled pin over ring finger, played 17 to 5 at break point. Same lanes, was light playing up 10 and hitting it. Perfect ball for what its drilled for. Any cranker will love this ball with this set up.

Thought for the day: If Half and Half goes bad, which half do you blame??

This ball is good for dry lanes. I've had the ball for about a week and it goes down the lines with a big backend hooks. my pin on the ball is 2- 2.5
