I can't wait to see how it compares to my SR300.

I thought about an Immortal Solid 5 1/2 pin to PAP but think I will replace my original FM Gryphon with another.

So far I can play this ball down and in, but I can't really swing it out. It needs a bit of dry to bounce off of, but it's not as angular as I thought it was. My SR300 in its OOB was much more angular than this ball, but now that I hit it with 1000 scotchbrite with Track Clean N Sheen, it is a lot earlier and smoother. The Immortal Pearl gets a good bit of length before it makes it's hockey stick type motion.
The ball is definitely a winner so far. I can see myself pulling it out when my SR300 is checking up early.

Great ball by Visionary, now I'm debating which the next ball I will buy is! Either the new Dyno-Thane Threshold NGS or the new Ogre.

Got my Ogre punched tonite. Thought I'd see what it's like OOB. Seems like it too much surface for me but I want to see what it's like. Will roll some tomorrow after work.

I took this ball to my proshop today when I noticed a weird track line perpendicular to my grip line right above my thumb. I don't know if it's supposed to track like that, but my pro shop guy determined that the x-hole on it was 2 inches past my PAP, and with such a high-flaring ball it is rolling over the hole right before it makes its drive into the pocket. Maybe this could be why I can't swing it out at my regular house (I threw this bad boy at the house with my pro shop today in league, and there's considerably less oil, so I could play a nice swing here. Man, this thing revs up!!! Shot 184, 246 but switched to my Tropical Storm after the 2nd game and finished up with a 210.)
I'll post another update (review will be delayed since I will be plugging and re-drilling a new x-hole.) when I can get whatever it is fixed!!!

X holes should be drilled on a ball like the Immortal Solid because it flares so much after your driller sees where you track and flare.....never before IMO.

I know that now
. There was no way I could do that before on this ball though, cause I won it in an auction from ASB-Joe and he drilled it up for me.--------------------

I bought an OGRE from AllStar Joe .. he drilled it and I had delivery yesterday (Monday 5 Feb). Took it to league today .. shot a clean series 676! Ball rolls with a nice arc to the pocket. CG is in my palm pin is about one inch above and one inch to the right of my ring finger (right handed).
Great ball!

I love my Immortal Pearl from what I have seen, and I hope that fixing the weight hole problem will help my ball recover through the oil more (I could only play down and in on a medium condition). Joe drilled mine up great, but I didn't know my PAP at that point, so he's not to blame about the x-hole. It was free too, so I don't mind spending $10 to fix it
