So I have an Immortal Solid and had a great season last year I ended up in the league where I used it almost exclusively at 232.  I feel like I am tooting my own horn but I am not accustomed to making that much of a jump 8 pins with just a ball  change and yes the shot is soft.

Anyway I have my Total NV to use below it but it has lost some reaction, I have lost some confidence in it etc...  Would the Ogre Pearl fit the ball here?  I have only the one Visionary ball and am really the only person in my area that I have seen throw it.  Any recommendations would be great.  Thanks all.

That is pretty much what I am looking for, a ball to go to when the Immortal Solid is too much.  The TNV was what I was using before but at times it was a little much as well.  Thanks for the input.

Will the gladiator pearl handle carry down as well as the Ogre Pearl?

Ball reaction is going to depend on the person throwing the ball.  We all know that....but don't assume that the Glad Pearl is stronger or weaker as it's really going to depend.

I've got each and they are drilled the same.  For me, the Ogre Pearl is far stronger the Glad Pearl in the I can swing and cover more boards and for a tighter line, it's more aggressive.  But....that's me and my style I presume and the fact that the ball is polished at 2000 grit.  But still.....

I believe the thought behind the ball was to have a longer version of the Glad Solid.  As Jason put it, it's used to play the same lane as they transition, just going longer before making the turn.  Allows you to stay where you were....just swap the ball.

Personally, I think they are both great!!
