I saw Osku Palermaa using it last week. It looks pretty good, didnt come off the spot tooo hard to be honest but I didnt see how he had it drilled. Plus almost every ball looks good in his hands.

I have drilled one in a 4x4 fasion with pin under ring cg staked. This ball doesnt do an awful lot,  I havent had much luck with the whole thunder line.  It gets trough heads clean and then makes a nice smooth arc to pcket on med to light it is a great ball for when they are toast.  It hits really hard even onlight hits but getting it there is a chore.  It is probably the tamest ball i ahve ever owned.

I would have to disagree a little about this ball. It has the same strong mid-lane that the Thunderstruck solid offers with a little stronger move at the breakpoint. This ball doesn't stop turning after the breakpoint. This ball is far from tame. It isn't a heavy oil ball but it far from being a dry lane ball.

I recently punched one of these up, and it is far from weak.  The pin is just above the fingers on my center line, and the cg is in the center of my palm.  This ball gets down the lane with ease, and really makes a hard left turn on the back end.

Can this ball be compared to the Jolt Pearl?

There really is no comparison between the two balls.  I have both the t-road pearl and the jolt pearl, and the t-road is by far stronger.

I agree with Zonepro Troad is much stronger than the jolts and much more angular from the experience I have with mine so far.

Would you consider the T-Road an entry-level reactive ball, or more of a mid-level ball?

From what these guys are saying, it sounds like a mid-level ball.  All I can say is that they smell delicious.

It is a mid level ball that acts like a high end ball.  My T-Road's reaction is nearly identical to my domination, this ball moves that much on the backend for me.  Hitting power is excellent too especially considering it is a mid-level ball.
