Gladiator Le short review.
« on: December 23, 2009, 12:44:05 AM »
I drilled mine 4x2 , the pin is in the ring finger. I left it box finish, this thing is alot stronger then i thought it would be, atleast off the dry. Just as the Gladiator Pearl it clears the heads really easy while reading the mids good to, Once it hits the dry left turn . It does need some dry to make a big move. After 2 games we started getting some carry down and it was sailing past the break point. The hit & carry was very good .

I will try to give some more reviews after i get a few more games on it. With the holidays i will not be bowling much. But after the first will be back to normal.

So far overall , this is a good ball to start with if you have backends but if you see carry down you might want to put it away.
It can be used for all 3 with some adjustments.
Compaired to
Ogre Pearl - longer and sharper
Ogre SS drilled same , a little Longer but about the same backend

That's the same thing as below.....LOL!!!


Lloyd: What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a girl like me... ending up together?
Mary: Well, Lloyd, that's difficult to say. I mean, we don't really...
Lloyd: Hit me with it! Just give it to me straight! I came a long way just to see you, Mary. The least you can do is level with me. What are my chances?
Mary: Not good.
Lloyd: You mean, not good like one out of a hundred?
Mary: I'd say more like one out of a million.
[pause]
Lloyd: So you're telling me there's a chance... *YEAH!*
 

Sorry....just couldn't resist since it was on the other night.

So it sounds like the LE will fit between the B/G Centaur and the Ogre SS?

My take on the B/G Centaur and SS Ogre.  For me and me alone with my rev rate and stats.  I can get in deeper with the SS Ogre and carry from deeper angles than I can with the B/G Centaur.  B/G Centaur for me carries better in the track area.  

SS Ogre can work from outside.  Most Visionary pearls don't handle lots of carry down well.  Here the B/G Centaur on carry down would work better.  I am still looking for a Visionary ball that will handle carry down from poly and old urethane. NBPP is not it I've tried it all with that ball.

From what I hear C 2.5 is the one ball that works decently and ignores carry down. That's a very strong ball though.

I could have a use for this once I get my BGC and see how it reacts at 4000ab.  If it's as weak as my Too Hot at 4000ab was then the LE may come in handy above that.
