Finally had a chance to get some time, all of 3 games....maybe a little more....in with the ball.

Was able to use it in practice and for most of game 1 but had to put the ball away until the 3rd game. The ball is strong....that I can say. I don''''t know what they had for oil out there, but I was playing considerably more left than I would normally shoot even when swinging the ball for me. Ball roared back...and I mean roared back. I did get to compare it to the Immortal and the Immortal was much longer and didn''''t have the recovery. I didn''''t get to compare to the NB Pearl of Solid though.

3rd game I pulled it back out. League is made up of kids and adults....and there is a lot of plastic thrown. My lanes had 7 of 8 throwing plastic and/or house balls....so I used the Particle Pearl to blend the oil that was everywhere...and it was!! I watched my Immortal skate a couple shots at the end of game 2 and start of 3.....nice to see it handles the carrydown well!

Used it last night as well....and really overused it. Played down and in with normal speed and shot 258-248 to start. Ball rolled real smooth...no jerkiness to it at all and really reminded my of my older particle pearls. 3rd game it got out of hand as the right lane broke down too much and I didn''''t do anything to compensate. For kicks, I did play a swing shot and watched the ball get out to about the 4-5 board and proceed to come tearing back without an issue.

Overall.....very impressed. I could easily see how cover changes will impact the ball. Going with a little polish is going to get the ball down the lane...and it already seems to keep some energy so a polish will only assist in that area. Taking the cover down to make it stronger....dare I say it....might actually make it handle more oil than the solid.

Overall......sweet job by Jason and family!!

On edit....layout:

Ball is drilled almost the same as the Solid/Pearl....though one has pin slightly down. But still....theory is to give this the same layout for a placement right in the middle.

My other thought is that THS lane conditions cover up strength and the balls innate ability. We all can make a Ogre Pearl, a B/G Centaur or a NBPP look great on a THS. Move your feet and line up.

Here's the thing....and this goes along the same lines as the 'New Ball Phenomenon'......

Am I good enough to see the differences between the NB Solid, NB Particle Pearl and the NB Pearl?? Heck no.

But....knowing the theory behind what the ball is intended for and seeing small differences in the hit and carry give me the confidence I might not have only having the Solid and Pearl.

I've done plenty good thus far on THS without needing a particle pearl. Assuming fresh oil, I will typically play a small bellyhook and depending on what happens, I might move slightly left. I hit a point where pushing the ball out is no longer working because I am either driving through the nose or I am burning up and hitting flat.

At that point I either change balls or keep the ball and change hand/speed.....I know that....and I really don't have problems doing that. But here's the thing......that's not always fun!!

When I decide to make that ball change though, this ball will basically allow me to stay where I am now....or move less significanly than if I went to the reactive pearl. And even that move depends on what I want to do with hand and speed.

So....it's a comfort factor/confidence thing. I know how the solid is hitting and by going to particle pearl, I expect a similar roll...but with energy still to burn.

That's what I see out of the ball.

Gary, yes I have experienced the solid burning up on occasion. It is pretty obvios when the carry goes down the drain. I will see if I can get 3 games out of the particle tonight on the 4-man league. It has been established that I cannot do this on the 5-man league. Since this is my first particle pearl I have been impressed with the amount of energy stored. The hit is very hard as I think you will agree.

Brian, I think if you move appropriately and then take some hand out of the ball possibly moving right as you do, you will see 3 games out of the ball easily.

Now that may be a problem. I have been working on a straighter shot but it is still a work in progress. I hope to hav a video up by next weekend with the NBPP.

Drrev2000, thanks for putting that out there again. That was the link I had in the other topic that mysteriously disappeared along with other things.

Little bit of an update more than anything else.

Last night was my first night to really see where this ball fit in terms of roll when compared to the Solid and Pearl Reactives since I decided to bring them all. With the introduction of the Particle Pearl with all the toys I already have, I really have seen that much of a need to have both the Particle Pearl and the Solid since it's more than strong as currently drilled.

I didn't get many shots with the 2 balls in practice....maybe 2 shots per lane. It was clear the solid had a stronger swing in that I was able to get it out a little more and the recovery in terms of shape was bigger. With the current shot, I was also able to play a modified bellyhook, but had to take hand out of the ball.

Threw the Particle Pearl in the first game and threw a little larger bellyhook and then moved slightly right. I felt the ball was burning up slightly so I went to the NB Reactive Pearl and was able to basically play the last 2 games down and in and took hand out of the ball for the last game.

Each change showed me how the balls were weaker than the previous one, but stronger than the one I was going to....and it was nice to see that they maintained that consistency throughout....even though I didn't have to use the Solid.

FYI.....as I mentioned to Jason, the ball is really tearing it up!!
