I am looking to replace my black widow pearl with a storm ball. Any suggestions on what ball is closest in terms of reaction to the BWP?

For Asym a Domination would be more similar to the BWP the a Gravity shift, the gravity reads the mid some where the domination pretty much ignores it. personally I would go with the t-road pearl.

That BWP on the video would be really strong with my PAP. I have thrown both and they are more similar then you would think. I found that the T-road I had more recovery and forgiveness on THS. My pro shop guy has almost the exact same specs as me and he owns the BWP and the bite so I get to try out equip I would not normally buy. Also I noticed with his widows is that after a while they started to mellow out (the bite especially). I have a ton of games on the T-road and all I ever had to do is just repolish it.

I'd give the Spit Fire a shot.

2-3 people I've talked to have said the T-Road pearl is probably closest. I would think the Spit Fire would be close too.

My dad just got a BW Solid and BW Pearl. The pearl was used, so I can't really speak for it. But the Solid after about 15 games has mellowed out tremendously in the backend. It's a great ball still, just much different than throw #1.

While I agree that the Storm comparison video is biased, I still believe the T-Road Pearl is the best match for the BWP.

I don't know as well as these other guys. But I've seen the Spit Fire and it is STRONG. I've seen the BWP and it may be slightly more angular....and a little less midlane.....but not much!
