Break Pearl & My Thoughts...(W/Pictures)
« on: April 11, 2008, 08:41:30 AM »
Hey BR Family,

Threw my break pearl last night in league for the first time. My stats are in my profile.

Layout: Pin over bridge with CG stacked and located just above middle of the grip with MB kicked out about 1 1/2 inches. (No x-hole).

First Impression...Long and Arcs HARD!
Pretty clean through the front, but the thing that impresses me about it is how much energy it still has at the pins & the Hitting Power. It absolutely crushes the pins. I left 2 "9 pins" and a fair share of splits when I didn't keep my speed up hehe.

Will have to bowl more with it more on a variety conditions and update y'all.
Ball just kept driving through the pocket and wouldn't stop. Hardly any deflection at all.

Conditions felt like our normal Top Hat (Medium Oil) Backends weren't screaming at all, but the ball motion made it seem like it!

Pictures and Videos coming soon!
Regards,
Rammy Tartabull

Ball looks sweet, and from what i've heard it rolls sweet also. I can't wait til I can get my hands on one, its going to be a few weeks but i'm excited.

Quick Q? is that before you beveled your fingers or do you use little/no bevel?

Hey magicmike,

I don't bevel the fingers that much, but I have it smoothed out on the inside and have the sides opened up a bit since my finger tips are more on the "oval side."

I think you will love this ball!

Ahh I see, the picture looked as if you hadn't touched the fingers. I like just a little bevel, and my fingers are ovaled and when we sand them to finish them we just bevel them a bit.

But I really hope I love it, i'm looking for a fairly strong pearl to go below my cell, and if nothingelse i'll have a great looking ball when it shows up lol.
