Title: Solaris Pearl
Post by: mainzer on December 16, 2009, 07:32:22 AM

Okay I have a Solaris Pearl coming soon from Tekneek! I have watched the vids of the ball on youtube numerous times, just was wondering what everyone else thought of theirs?

What types of drill patterns did you guys use? and what reactions did you get?

I received short pins on mine so my options were limited. I have one drilled Rico that rolls amazing. clean through front and strong roll in midlane

I used a double thumb layout on mine. The ball motion is clean through the front, very strong mid lane and arcing backing.

Alot of skid/snap and it will turn big on the dry. Mine went pretty long with the pin above bridge and polished.

I've drilled a few for myself, mostly pins around 5-5.5", cgs generally pushed to the right, around 50 degrees.. Ball is controllable in the midlane yet strong on the back end.

thx for the help guys! I will be going with a control drill pattern, for the ball, I am sick of trying to make all the skid/snap drill patterns work on sport patterns.

Thinking of going with a 6 inch pin set up, possibly a Rico drill just to have a smooth reaction, or a Setup I have used once before a more hook set drill that has the pin right and underneath the fingers with the MB set up under thumb. One of those three.

The ball is strong. Mine was 15.02 with 3 ozs tw and 2.5" pin. Drilled it with the pin 5" from my PAP and the cg about the same. Pin above right finger, cg about a half inch right of my center grip line.

This ball was very clean through the heads and then went left very strong. Rolls well even in heavier oil. Took me a while to get used to because it starts turning left a little sooner then expected and is very strong. Wow is how I best describe it.
