Was gifted an After Dark Pearl; and on our current sport pattern it has been a god send. just the ball the doctor ordered.
typically a storm guy; the most obvious hole in the bag is a pearl that can go on medium to medium heavy. the current bag is the AD, match up hybrid hyroad X, PhysiX, Rocket Ship and spare.
was considering the astroPhysix; and I like it well enough at a recent match maker event. but the success with the ADP the last couple weeks has me wondering about a global ball. was thinking potentially the Volt?
what would be a good pearl I should consider for the middle of the bag?

The obvious choice would be the Honey Badger or Money Badger. Both of those, along with the Volt feel more like medium oil balls that like friction.
If you want a ball to handle a little more, I'd probably look towards the Space Time Continuum or the Respect.
I'm sure Doom will chime in with his knowledge

Well, let's go from the lower end, and keep stepping up.
Boost. Stronger cover, much faster downlane, but clean up front.
Ordnance Pearl. Much stronger cover, lots of flare. Will be a little less hockey stick move because of the diff and cover strength.
Honey Badger. It's a Boost on steroids. When resin was invented, they saw the Honey Badger motion.
Money Badger. I can't make any claim on this ball yet.
White Hot Badger. Similar to the Honey, with a more rounded shape.
Volt. This one is nice. Flippy, but with the core shape, readable. Reminds me of the old Track Crash on steroids.

Welcome! Global stuff is a lot of fun to throw.
For me, I have the Teal Honey Badger (got it from Buddy's Pro Shop, they have them from time to time), and it's as clean as could be through the fronts and makes a really nice motion. Out of box, it's a bit allergic to oil. I have hit it with a 2k pad by hand, and it's surprisingly good on medium conditions! I find myself using this whenever I have to move left and out of my comfort zone.

Doom; how much of a step up from the After Dark Pearl is the Volt or Ordinance?
if I said pick one between the Volt, Ordinance, White Hot and Honey; which one would be your gut reaction?

If you like the motion of the after dark, but need more but similar, White Hot.
