Jolt Pearl ...Any users ?
« on: November 20, 2006, 04:51:45 AM »
Looking for some drier lane alternatives and have
heard things through the grapevine about the Jolt
Pearl. Any comparisons to other equipment would
be helpful.

Thanks,

Jolt and Jolt Pearl (not a user, but my daughter throws both) are stronger than you may expect.  

Jolt Pearl to me reacts very similar to an original X-Factor with a little less angle on the backend.  I'd say it is stronger than a Tropical and just a little less than a Thunderstruck Pearl.  

It is probably a great companion ball to a Spit Fire.  Both give you great length - but the pearl Accutread can get down in the dry a bit better.

Bottom line is that a Jolt Pearl is a good medium-Light ball, but don't expect it to be a true dry lane ball.

What I can tell about Accu-Tread is that it behaves, compared with current Reactor, much like Brunswick's PK18 vs. Activator. AT reads the lane quite well and has IMHO less length and snap at the breakpoint once it hits the dry. But it does not make the coverstock "weaker" than Reactor.

You'll surely need some oil for the Jolts to work, and the good reading ability of AT is probalöy the reason why Storm only put a low diff. core into them. With a Fire line core, AT would still rock the house and you might get some reaction like an Agent from such a ball.
