I need a ball up from the After Dark Pearl
« on: July 16, 2019, 05:56:21 PM »
So I’ve had a lot of success with my after dark pearl but I’m noticing that I have more consistency when I’m up around 17.5 MPH and I get my best look with the After Dark Pearl around 16-16.5 but even the high side is pushing it. I hit it with 3000 pad and it’s better but I feel like it loses what I loved about the ball roll. I’d love to get it back up to 5000 grit, but I need something to start with and can transition to the AD Pearl.

I like 900 global but they don’t pay me or give me discounts so I’m not married to them. Price and color are always considerations for me, but they’re more for deciding between two balls as opposed to what I base a purchase off of.

Like I said, I like to throw around 17.5, I don’t crank on the ball but I have some revs and my house shot and game matches up well with playing up 3ish.

Note. I have a hyroad live(overseas hyroad) and it works well but it’s a heavy 14, not a true 15 so I get lost overthrowing it sometimes. I need a true 15. From there I have a turmoil solid and halo pearl at 1000 but those are more for sport shots so they don’t come out much for league.

Do you want smooth or angular?

Angular. Mostly because from there I can smooth the breakpoint better with surface.

Too be honest I was thinking infused first, then I seen the ordnance solid had the same weight block as the AD I do love the way it rolls

I don’t think it’ll be enough of what I want.

After dark and Ordnance Solid aren't the same weight block. If you want a big step.up, White Hot Badger. Smaller step up, Boost.

Yeah you’re right, I looked it up. For some reason I heard the core name and thought that was the one in the AD pearl.

I have a staffer who runs the house I bowl at whose killing it with the white hot. How does it compare to the infused

Honestly, night and day. Infused is earlier and smoother off the spot than the WHB, but that's a given. S71 pearl vs S28 urethane/resin blend should make that apparent lol.

It's weaker in that it's more gradual. It's probably 6 and 4 weaker with the same cover prep

Doom gave it to you straight. A step up will be a Boost, preferability a pearl. You won't be sorry.  The Boost line is way underrated. 
Some folks say to take their gun(s) you would have to pry it from their cold dead hand.

I feel the same about my Boost Cardinal Red pearl which is the perfect ball up from my After Dark pearl.

Glad I grabbed a Black Ops as that would probably be a good step down from the White Hot.  Pretty versatile I hear.  Might still find new ones on ebay.
