After talking to gsback, seeing him thow the ball and reading the great reviews on this ball, I called Jason and ordered one up for myself.. I have really started liking pearl covers over solids, they just seem to work out the best for me.

Jim,
I asked you before but you did not answer. Are you a Test Staff member?
I think you will like the OP....it's my fav from this last couple of years.

I am sure the Ogre Pearl will be great as much as I have read about it..

Jim good choice! I love my Ogre Pearl. For me it fits right under my Break Pearl.
Basically the only 2 balls I throw. I can't wait for the new Break!!!

Same here. I like my Ogre Pearl more each time I take it out of the bag. I also have the Gladiator to go over the Break Pearl.

Jim you will not be disappointed with this ball...out of all the balls i have tested, nothing at the same pricepoint reads the midlane and still finishes as strong as the ogre pearl for me...most under rated ball on the market in my eyes! This thing has gotten me out of so many jams its unreal, always has a spot in my bag

Will check with what two polishes and exact grit was used tomorrow, it was like a whole new ball it was on it's final outing if it failed again.

Exactly Britton. Great ball for many conditions from sport/flatter to THS.
Mine must have 200+ games on it already shows minimal wear but I haven't used it on much old wood. I think I've got to get another one.

He used 500 entire ball slow speed on a spinner.
Followed by polishing the entire ball with Storm Proacta shine
Then followed by polishing the entire ball again with Storm Moon Shine
All I know it is a whole different ball that was going to get sold off but now it stays.

The only other ball right now I am seeing for me that falls into this exact same category is the Violet Gargoyle.
Tuesday, down and in and swing the Gladiator and Ogre Pearl were resulting in some nasry leaves. I pulled out the VG and threw the same down and in line, but without hand in the ball....finished with 3 strikes and proceeded to shoot 480+ for the next 2 sets without moving at all.
