Title: T-Road Pearl vs. Rapid Fire
Post by: stormfanken on April 23, 2008, 02:34:31 AM

I need some help from some Storm fans that have thrown both, I am just wondering what the difference is between the T-Road Pearl and the Rapid Fire?? I realize that the Rapid Fire is a solid ball. But on other sights those balls are rated about the same so I wondered what the difference in reaction is.

Rapid Fire is quite a bit stronger than the T-Road Pearl.  With the same layout, my move is about 5 boards further left with my feet with the Rapid Fire off whatever line I am playing with the T-Road Pearl.  I was amazed at how much the Rapid Fire hooks personally.  Outhooks the Gravity Shift on most conditions.

Does that mean that the Rapid Fire is a good ball for an oily condition?? Or is it just that the T-Road is not that strong?? I read somewhere on here that they were comparing the T-Road Pearl to the Black Widow Pearl. So I am assuming that the T-Road Pearl isnt tame.

The Rapid Fire is kind of like the Gravity Shift in that it's super strong, but it's not what you'd call a skid/snap ball like the T-Road Pearl and the Domination.

It depends on more what you want the ball for, because the Rapid Fire is also a highly polished solid while obviously the T-Road Pearl is a pearl.

Both are very good balls, but do very different things.

So then for a medium oiled house the T-road might be the better choice??

Yeah after throwing the Rapid Fire I'm pretty sure that for the Storm Staffers this ball will be their Cheetah King. I could pipe this ball to the 1 board and it just turned, set, and drove with no over reaction. What a nice piece of equipment.
