Looking a skid flip ball below my Hy-Road.
« on: April 05, 2009, 07:39:06 AM »
What options am I looking at, T-Road Pearl, Street Rod Pearl or Rapid Fire Pearl? Is the 2nd Dimension too strong to give me a different look than the Hy-Road which is drilled pin up and scuffed a bit?

Second Dimension is definitely not a skid/flip ball.  It rolls earlier
than most shiny or pearl balls.

oob T-Road Pearl with the same pattern should give you more skid and more flip on the backend. That would be simple and not too big a jump from your Hy-Road.

For a Skid/Flip reaction go with the rapid fire pearl or t-road pearl

The street rod pearl is an awesome ball, and with proper layout can be somewhat skid/flippy, but by nature that ball is smoother than the RFP or TRP

I'm kind of looking for the same thing right now. The back ends at my friday house are really hooking. I've taken my old X-Factor up to 4000 abralon and polished it with an extender polish and am still getting more hook than I like to throw. I saw a Jolt Pearl on sale and was wondering how that would work?

I have both the Hyroad the the RFP.  The Hyroad is drilled pin down and the RFP is drilled pin up, both around 4 3/4 from my PAP.  They move almost the exact amount (total hook) just in different parts of the lane.  They compliment one another great depending on where the oil is.  The RFP gets down the lane further and turns the corner much, much harder.  I had the RFP at 4000, until I got my Hyroad, and it did the exact same thing as the Hyroad.  

I have the Spitfire drilled pin up as my ball just under my Hyroad. It is the ball I would say you are looking for if you can get one.  I really like the twin v core for skid flip better than the Fe2.  That being said, the Pros appear to overwhelmingly prefer the T-Road series over the Fire line.

We have 2 local guys looking for that same reaction and we gave them both Street Rod Pearls with short pin bufffers (2" or less) and that ball is WHIPPY down lane.

If you really wanted to, you could drill a second Hy-Road w/ a higher flaring layout and some polish to accomplish the same thing.  Really with the right surface adjustment and layout, the T-Road Pearl or Street Rod Pearl would do the trick.  The 2nd Dimension is probably a little too strong,  but without knowing what you bowl on and how you bowl, it's difficult to say.
