Title: Got a couple of VBP toys sitting around I might Drill..
Post by: JamminJD on March 16, 2013, 10:26:23 PM
Got a Gladiator and Glad Pearl that I might drill up this week, only thing is deciding how to drill them.
Glad has over 3" pin and the Pearl is a little over 2.

Oh, decisions, decisions....

The Gladiator Pearl is still my favorite ball right now...hands down.  That ball has bailed me out of so many bad lanes....great ball and perfect benchmark ball for me!!

If you decide not to drill the Glad Pearl I will take it. Nice looking ball yes I will take if you wanna move it

Pretty sure Johnny is looking to drill it up, but there is one on eBay:

7-8 games though and the lettering is already falling out?  Not sure about that.  But my Glad Pearl has easily 100 games on it and many more to go....and it's still going strong.

Depending on your style Johnny, thinking the Glad Pearl is one you are going to love.  Lets see some pics on what you did with the drilling.

My style is 15-16 speed at backend 400 + revs and here is the pics of them drilled. Used the Glad Solid First game shot 246, half the second shot broke down lots of 10's went to Classic with 4000 abralon and struck out 193 then 231 for 670.

Glad solid is 4.5 pin and the Pearl is middle finger drilled out which is 6" pin for me, I don't know the angles but I think I am going to like both..
