> Was looking for a pearl that would work well playing tight deep on a medium volume, long pattern so ball would tip (with quick transition layout) with enough angle to carry.

Granted its pricey but for a symmetric pearl few balls go deeper and turn harder than a Scandal Pearl (medium to heavy oil conditions).  Being a symmetric core in theory its break point should be a bit easier to control than say a Snap Lock (disclaimer personally never thrown a Snap Lock, but pretty much it along with the Tyrant Pearl are the ultimate skid flip balls for medium to heavy oil).  As an earlier poster said maybe the Quantum Fire (medium conditions specialist) is something to look into as well (though that ball is pricey as well).  If looking at mid cost stuff awful tough to beat some of the storm balls imho especially for medium and THS conditions.
