Hi all! There's this T-Road Pearl with specs of 14 lb 5 oz and a 2-2.5 inch pin that I'm looking at. What would be the ideal layout if I wanted a lengthy reaction with a sharp turn at the backend out of this ball? Thanks!

depends on your specs but mine is 4 1/2 pin to pap 2 cg to pap with a hole 2 inches past the val.  If you're looking for basically the epitome of skid/flip then yeah the pearl is what you want.  This ball lets loose at the end of the pattern, but that's just for me with my specs and the layout.
