900 Global Burner Solid and Burner Pearl dual review and comparison:
Solid:
Cover stock S62 polished Solid Reactive
Weight Block Centriod Symmetric
Pearl:
Cover stock S62 polished Pearl Reactive
Weight Block Centriod Symmetric
Two new additions built to help with lighter conditions, which most bowlers are seeing more and more.
I started by throwing both balls as they came out of the box. Both being polished, on the weaker side, and being tossed on a fresh house shot on the heavier side, I saw minimal difference between the two after a couple dozen shots with each (which is what I expected).
After I saw that, I sanded the Solid to 2000. This gave me a totally different reaction. The adjustment got the Solid going much earlier than the pearl.
The Pearl gives me a "Hustle plus" feel. Very similar roll to my Roto Grip Hustle Wine, just a bit stronger. I love Hustle's...I probably mention that in 90% of my light-medium oil ball reviews. The Burners look like they could be a gap filler between the Hustle's and IQ series, which is something I will use often.
If you bowl leagues/tournaments on ligher oil house shots, a 3 ball arsenal of IQ/Burner/Hustle is something to check into.
The Burner's give me a little more angle than the IQ's and Hustle's, perfect for the middle of that lineup.
