Break Pearl vs Kinetic Solaris?
« on: April 08, 2009, 04:48:09 AM »
Being that I love my solaris more than any ball ever, and now that it is discontinued, and may never find another one.

How close is the Break pearl in reaction to the Solaris? They use the Same cover, but totally different cores. Break pearl has a noticable larger amount of differential, and add the high Mass Bias.

I was thinking of picking a Break Pearl up and drilling it pin down, or maybe the same as my Solaris one day.

For me:

Break pearl - pin over ring with the MB 1.5" right of the thumb.  It gets very good length and picks up strong in the late mids and finishes with a strong arc.  It's not flippy but it's a very strong pearl.

Kinetic Solaris - I put a layout which was about 3.5" stacked.  This ball was super strong, it generates the earliest midlane friction of any pearl I've used and finish super strong.  It's almost flippy, makes a strong sudden change of direction and accelerates towards the pockets when it encounters friction.  This is definitely a free wheeling type of ball.

There is no comparison between my Solaris and Break pearl but more so the Break solid.  Both of those balls react similar almost identical for me.

ya mine is 5 1/8 x 4 1/4 with the pin sitting directly ontop of my ring finger, with the CG 1:30 from my thumb. The ball was a 2nd with a 5 inch pin to CG distance.

Mine is clean through the heads, picks up pretty strong in the mids, and very hard arc off friction. a farily worn 4000 abralon, which put a slight polishy look to it. It is a strong ball, decievingly strong, it is always a good step down from a strong solid reactive, and lets me play shots were all my other pearls won't let me.

Carry is the best I have ever came across. The ball carries superbly on anything from med-heavy to med-light, harder to control on med-light though since it is such a strong pearl.

I have both and they have very different layouts.  My Break Pearl is a long pin 2nd.  It is drilled 5" x 3-1/2" with a weight hole at P3.  My Solaris is also a long pin 2nd, and it is drilled pin up, 70* x 5" x 45*, double thumb layout.  The Break Pearl picks up earlier and arcs on the backend.  The Solaris goes longer and has a much quicker, more violent turn when it encounters friction.  Not quite skid/snap, but definitely more backend than the Break Pearl.  I like them both, but I think the Solaris offers more backend reaction.
