Post by: thundercat23 on March 15, 2019, 11:45:09 AM: Any/all. I used to think this was the Marvel Pearl. Ball I could go straight with, even get around it if need be. Slight surface adjustment for more volume. You know, versatile.

I'm kind of here as well, deciding between the Marvel Pearl and Idol Pearl. It's a strong pearl I'm looking to add to my bag for the summer sport league and nationals.....

Id imagine IDOL pearl is stronger, Marvel Pearl can be used on more conditions

I loved the Marvel Pearl quite a bit so I can understand the support behind it.

Post by: Jesse James on March 16, 2019, 02:08:27 PM: I would say Rhodman pearl and Marvel Pearl in that order. The Idol Pearl is an awfully strong pearl!

Yes, Idol Pearl is more downlane and better opening up the lane. The Marvel Pearl is better in the track and going straighter, depends on how you see the lane.

Post by: avabob on March 20, 2019, 02:47:01 PM: I have had 2 marvel pearls and just tried a Idol Pearl. Marvel pearl was great on long sport patterns where I could play direct and take advantage of its rolly nature. Idol Pearl has a different look but is also best when I can go more direct. Hyroad Nano has been better than both when I I need to go away from the pocket .

Title: Re: Most versatile symmetrical pearl ball?
Post by: thundercat23 on March 22, 2019, 08:29:45 AM: I had two different Hy-Road Nanos, didn't care for either one. Tried multiple surfaces on both. I do love the Idol though for that slot.

Post by: DP3 on March 22, 2019, 01:57:50 PM: Idol Pearl faces up really hard off the spot but it shortens the "window" down lane so it isn't very forgiving to release errors.

That's at least what I'm seeing. Super low RG Pearls are usually a dead nut because they get the ball into a stronger roll before it changes direction. It makes it very easy to go up the lane and inch your way in through transition.

Brunswick Inferno Remake is another underrated one.
