And here's the Match Solid!  With the Match Pearl I got pretty much what I expected, and it's great, don't get me wrong, but this one definitely "has a great personality."  Surprisingly good.

Luke,

I haven't compared your solid video to the pearl video directly, but it almost seems like you're getting more and a more pronounced backend from the Solid than the Pearl.

Were both balls at the stock surface and used on the same condition?

Very nice videos, by the way. Thanks.

Yes, both were same surface, same layout, and you're correct.  I get a "sharper" breakpoint out of the solid than I do the pearl.  At first the pearl was very snappy, but after a couple games it smoothed out.  The solid also hooks 4-5 boards more than the pearl.  Like I mentioned in the video, it reminds me of the Tour Solid in a very odd way.  It's a BIT longer and a BIT sharper, but overall it has a lot in common with the Tour Solid despite the differences on paper. 

I probably should have included a comparison between the two in the videos . . but they're both fairly different looks.  Great compliments for each other, and legitimately could be a two ball league arsenal though.

Match Peal looks GREAT in person, however that's why I said the Solid has a "great personality," because it's definitely a butter face . .

Charlest,

I know this was the case for me with the Tropical Heat series. The reactor solid and hybrid with surface produced more pop that the pearl at box. I just wish the colors were a little better on these. I'm not seeing any shelf appeal for the average customer.

Well played! The Pearl reminds me of a Soul Mate
