Strongest pearl on the market...
« on: August 05, 2007, 04:40:03 AM »
What in the members' opinions is the strongest pearl (in terms of gripping the lane where it is dry) on the market today?  Which ball will cover the most boards in the shortest backend?

The Black Widow Pearl is pretty stout...

The Shift also grabs the dry pretty good too....

From what I've seen of the Black Widow Pearl though . . it seems pretty tame as far as hook potential goes.  It'll still wheel on the backend definitely, but not on a shot with much oil.  I'd have to say the Shift too.  The Anger looks like pretty good stuff too . .

On drier lanes the Black Widow Pearl is hard to beat, it's the strongest ball I've thrown. But it's true, any kind of volume of oil out there and it loses it's hitting power unless you play with speed and even then it's not consistent.

I have one already, and it is quite strong...

I'm basically looking for the ball that will make the biggest move on the back end, assuming absolutely no movement in the oil (ie it would need to flare onto clean ball for the back end)...

RotoRPS,

Pearl reactive? Pearl particle? Both?

You're getting answers from both categories, and they're different.  It's comparing apples to oranges...

Notclay, I'm aware, however both are pearls, and as I said in my posts, i am looking for the ball that makes the biggest movement in the dry in the shortest distance...

The Shift seems to be one of the most popular, and it is a particle pearl... so either is good.

I have heard that the shift is dieing early for some people, though it could be cleaning issues...

NVS right now. Covers the most boards by far when compared to the BWP.
