Equivalent to Victory Road Pearl
« on: January 11, 2015, 08:36:32 PM »
Almost time to replace my VRP, and wondering what ball is comparable in current balls? Im looking for about the same overall strength. I love the length of VRP and the slightly angular but ultra controllable backend.
Ive never seen one but reading about the Hyroad Pearl makes me think its similar.

Hyroad Pearl will be a little stronger imo. Layout tweak could help.

Brunswick Melee Jab is eerily similar as well as the Roto Grip Unhinged.

the hyroad pearl will be a little cleaner and more angular downlane compared to the victory road pearl. if you adjust layout and surface on the hyroad pearl though, you should be able to get close.

Jab might as well be the same ball.

As far as storm goes I would do a hyroad pearl or a Unhinged from rotogrip.

Other brands I would do a Melee Jab,Diva Pearl something along those lines

If you go with Storm, the HyRoad Pearl is probably going to be the closest.  You may just need to tweak the surface or layout slightly. 

If you venture outside of Storm, the Motiv Octane is very angular and may be another option.

I owned 2 different victory road pearls as well as a Hyroad Pearl and the Octane.

Octane does not remind me of the VRP and my HRP was quite strong.
My pro shop operator loved the VRP and said the Melee Jab may as well be the same ball!!

FWIW if you want to stick with Utah get the Unhinged or tweak a HRP to mimic the VRP.
