All,

I'll be posting my specs, pics of my layout, and a description of the reaction in the next few days. Stay tuned.

Thanks Scott.  And Stephen for doing the video.  I just didn't understand the first post.

Thanks again.

PIN to PAP: 5 1/2"
Drill Angle: 70 degrees
VAL Angle: 50 degrees
Coverstock: OOB

REVIEW:

This ball currently sits between my G-3 and my Immortal Pearl with the G-3 being the ball that rolls sooner and the Immortal being the ball that rolls later (see my arsenal by clicking on the link).

What I determined was that this ball is very heavy rolling.  If you've thrown the Ogre Pearl or SS Ogre, they too roll strong, but the New Breed is much stronger.  If you've thrown the Gladiator Pearl, the reaction at the breakpoint is gradual, but the New Breed is much stronger.  

I would say the angularity at the breakpoint is not as skid/snappy as the G-3 or Immortal Pearl as the New Breed Pearl simply reads the pattern and then makes a hard arcing motion to the pocket.

This ball may give you a little push if you are too deep and it doesn't transition through the oil properly.  However, the recovery capabiilties of this ball could allow you to get away with this if you're release/rev rate is enough.

I found this ball to work well on the house shot when the fresh oil began to transition after a game and the mids settled down.  I drilled this ball with a very long Pin->Pap 5 1/2 inches so those of you who position the pin 4-5 inches from your PAP will probably have greater success games 1-2 where the longer pin to PAP will have greater success games 2-3.

If you have questions, please feel free to ask them here or send me a PM if you feel more comfortable.

Warmest Regards,

I thought I would let everyone know that this ball doesn't skid/snap like the Immortal Pearl or the G-3.  What this ball gives you is a very strong roll at the breakpoint.  

When I say this, it means that it is very easy to see the ball start it's reaction to the pattern and when it gets going left (or right for lefties), it's bringing the whole kitchen with it!

I've had super success with this ball in just a couple of weeks.  I'm very certain that there will be many success stories from anyone who gets this ball n their hand.

I have said 3 times on br now that this is a ball that rolls like a Pearl Cell, not to be mistaken with the cell pearl which is much straighter than it's solid counterpart.

Heavy rolling covers alot of boards and does not liked to be swung huge even with Palumbo throwing it, who has 500 revs plus.
