bowl on a 40' blend older bruns synth. Righty,pap 5over-1/2dwn,pure tweener,prefer to swing/slightswing shot.

O.S. Drilled-3.5X60* pin even and right of ring tried every imagionable cover prep. When it gets there WOW other wise leave it at home for a heavier shot w/some drier backs.

O.P.1 Drilled-3.5X5 oob, pin down and right of ring. Best Damn pearl I've ever put on my hand and I have had all of the hype balls just no comparison. Have not shot huge #'s 257 HG,660-680 series so I'm not complaining. Strength is the consistancy of this balls reaction. Pricless.

O.P.2 Drilled 5X4 oob, pin over bridge up 1.5", mb 1 1/2" right thumb, Perfect compliment to the O.P. above 3' longer slightly sharper. can get a squirty on carry down.

O.SS  Drilled 4X60* pin over oob, On a run of the mill THS this ball is awesome just needs dry to preform at top capicity not as snappy as I had thought but very strong and powerful. If the shot gets burnt and dirty this ball will shine as long as the carry down is mimimal. Don't use it as much due to having a B/G Centaur that I have taken as strong a liking to as my O.P's.

O.K. to the quick: O.P. best of the Ogres by far for me,then SS,lastly O.S.

very interested in what this new particle is gonna be Pearl or Solid if it's a pearl I'm on it like stink on dooty.

Yes I do, The Ogre Pearl, for me isn't as skid/flip.  It's a little more predictable.  Both balls are drilled very similar too, pin over the ring finger and the cg kicked out.

Power tweener, revs with minimal effort (leverage and timing).
Lane conditions are medium to medium light.
3 honor scores so far between the 2 balls.

I have the Pearl and the SS, both drilled pin over ring and CG stacked below.

For me, the Pearl is a true benchmark ball. I have used it playing anywhere from 28 to 10 with good results. Works well with different hand positions and speed changes. I have recommended it to 3 of my friends and they all love the reaction and carry it provides.

The SS is my go to ball when the lanes are opened up a bit. It can get a little touchy when the lanes transition so I normally put it away when that happens. An ABSOLUTE monster on swing shots with a defined bank area. Ball's hit is second to none on the right condition.

I like the Pearl more of the two because it is more versatile for me. But the SS is a close 2nd based on what it can do when the lanes open up.

Thanks Scott.

A month ago I would have said the SS was my fav, but after a few games on different conditions, the Pearl has won me over.

I started with a Mystic drilled pin over middle finger and cg in palm yesterday in shadow( LOL, does anyone remember shadow, warmups without pins??) I was on the strangest pair in the house (1 and 2). Lane 2 always has a hang spot and muddled backend. Lane 1 always hooks 5 boards more and the backend is like sandpaper.

The Mystic was money on the left lane but a huge hit or miss on the right. I pulled out the OP and it really toned down the reaction on lane 2. Like someone had stated, it is almost like it is a particle pearl. It definitely makes a move, but doesn't charge off the bank like some reactives.

I am considering drilling another a bit stronger.

The Ogre line is a real hidden gem.
