WHAT??

The Black OPS already skid/flips like a Banshee on Cuban coffee.
Do you really NEED (not "want") a BO Pearl???

I was thinking exactly that Jeff. I don't throw it, but have seen it used quite a bit. It's already a monster off the friction.

Just picked mine up, pin down, hit it with a 4000 pad to remove the shine and shot a 689 (213,246,230) with it. I would not call it skid/flip, but I agree it makes a very strong move off the spot. The Break core with the S70 cover is always a winner. Looking forward to some honor scores with it.

Yeah... Mine is stupid off the dry too. Only ball that comes off the spot harder for me is the Dream.

My Black Ops is pretty skid/flippy, but the big core allows the ball to really read the pattern the right way. I drilled 4 of them because I liked them so much. I do have one drilled with pin below the middle finger and a hole on the side that really makes it much smoother reaction. I find this ball is extremely versatile. A Black Ops pearl can be something in the future, but I don't see it coming until maybe June of next year, if at all. Dream Big Pearl is going to be a crazy seller and could be a great compliment to the Black Ops.

Keep in mind the op is a lefty.  I'm guessing the reason he wants a pearl is more length…….. That would put the ball at hitting the pins before breaking. Nobody needs that

…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

The original Break came with surface OOB. So a Break Pearl, polished, was a perfect compliment to the Break. Now, the Black Ops comes with polish. So, a Pearl version would be cleaner and more angular than the BOps. Which isn't truly needed. I think a skid/flip layout on a BOps would do the trick instead of producing another ball.

Just a heads up, the Dream Big Pearl is a cleaner through the front for me than my Black Ops and definitely flips harder. I would say it covers more boards than the Black Ops, but it doesn't read the lane as fast as the Black Ops. If you are looking for the Black Ops Pearl, try out the Dream Big Pearl. I think you will get the reaction you are looking for.

Actually I'd be curious if anyone has insight as to how the Black Ops compares to the original Black Widow Legend.  I have the legend and the more I use it, the more I like it.  If they are too close, I don't have a real need.

For me, the Black Ops is stronger and more angle. When I had the Legend, it was smooth and not as much ball. Definitely feel the Black Ops continues way better.

I have a Black Ops being delivered today.  From everything I have both seen and read about this ball, can't wait to throw it this week.  I am already in love with the Dream.
