have a question....
« on: February 10, 2009, 11:11:28 PM »
I'm looking at a new ball to get.  I have a Morich Awesome Revs, and a Twisted Fury.  Love both. Don't know my PAP, but the AR is drilled w/pin right above and middle of both fingers, with mb just right of thumb, oob surface.  I'm a rev-dominant bowler, speed about 15-16 mph. Ball is great, length, with strong arc/flip.  TF is drilled pin up and just right of ring finger, mb 1" right of thumb, again great for a THS, sometimes struggles in carrydown.  

I was looking at the cell pearl, heard good things, and was wondering if drilled like my AR, would be a good addition for me on a THS.  I figure still length, but its cover would fight carrydown better.  Any suggestions?

Have an AR and a Pearl Cell, both are drill similar to what you are looking at. The motions and total hook are very close, and the ability to handle oil are comparable. The particle in the AR makes its pearl cover read similar to the Pearl Cell's cover. The Pearl may handle carry down a little better but not much. I would go with an original Cell or the new Rogue Cell if you have lots of carry down.

Wow, I figured the AR, with the particle, is somewhat of a stronger ball in terms of oil handling.  The CP comes polished right?  It's not that there's a lot of carrydown, but when there's a little, my TF can be squirty, and with my AR, i literally have to play the entire lane, deep swing.   I thought the CP would give me length, with a hard arc, and hold up in light carrydown.

I can usually hook my Pearl more than my original Cell on most fresh patterns. I get about the same hook on most patterns I just alternate between the two depending on which one gives my the correct angle for carry. I will actually use my AR to go straighter than the others and a Seek & Destroy for even straighter shots.
