Thinking of replacing my Charge
« on: March 07, 2007, 02:40:17 AM »
I was wondering what ball would be a good replacement for my Pearl Charge.  I am not knowledgable about what is currently being offered by Storm that is somewhat similar to the Charge.  Thanks in advance.

Being i have both still the t-road pearl has a similar long and strong motion to it, amf venom has the same type of movement also.

I had a Pearl Charge and it was my medium oil ball for a while.

IMO there is nothing that matches that ball in the current Storm lineup.

Charge is a low RG core with a medium-to-weak cover (Curelyon) that rolls up relatively early with a VERY smooth arc to the pocket.  The Agent is also an early rolling, low RG pearl but Reactor is a much stronger cover than Curelyon so it covers more boards than the Charge.

You may want to take a look at the RotoGrip Horizon.  I haven't thrown this ball but everyone I have spoken to about it describes it close to the Charge.

I hope that helps.

My charge is as strong as the t-road pearl for me curelyon balls hook aton, the el nino is a bigger hooking ball for me still. I think jolt is going to slightly less ball but i do not have it to compare it.

I do have the horizon and it is more ball than the t-road pearl and the charge, thunderstruck pearl would also work for you too.
