I just got my Ace and Hot Rod Pearl in the mail today. I am going to drill them this week. I will let you guys and gals know what they do just as soon as I get them drilled and put about 20 games on each. I can tell you the Pearl is Silver/Aqua. It comes with a factory finish of 1500 Grit-polish. The ACE is Yellow/Red/Aqua with a Wintergreen fragrance. It also comes with a 1500 Grit-polish. If ya'll don't like the way these balls roll for you, don't worry because at least these two look WAY COOL!!!!!!!!

Just drilled my ACE last night and went out an threw it.
5" pin up RAD Strong. The letter from storm says its Accutread Pearl Particle where I was previously told its was Monsoon Pearl Particle. My bad.
Took the factory Shine off and put my own on that most of the time eliminates the "Burn In" time that C_J talks about.

Any way it does clear the heads pretty cleanly similiar to my Depth Charge and pick up nicely in the midlane with a pretty nice backend reaction and hits like a truck. More angular than my Recharges which i was surprised by a particle. I loved the Reloads and their versatility with shine and length control.
I only bowled 4 games with it (nothing less than 230) and was inside of 20 as it was after a league shift on older wood lanes that had been resurface. Will try to use it at a tournament this weekend on Synthetics and report back here also.

Will be drilling my Hot ROD PS Pearl tonight.
Will give better reports and reviews hopefully by Monday.
