Threw my T-Road Pearl this weekend several games with some more "senior" bowlers. This ball is versatile as advertised, I had my drilled 4" pin to PAP with what looks like a label drill with the MB under the thumb. This ball is the one of the most versatile balls I've thrown period. The first game or so I played a slight swing shot (standing 19-20, targeting 9-10) with great success it was very smooth and hit the pins very well. But because of who I was on the pair with, I knew the shot wouldn't hold up. So I made about a 5 and 3 move to the left with a stronger hand position and this ball became a monster that was throwing pins everywhere. Now that I've thrown the TRoad, I definitely agree with the consensus here about it being a more versatile ball.
