I'm proud to present to you The Gladiator Pearl Video from Visionary.
http://www.videoballreviews.com/gladiatorpearl.html
My Take on the ball:
A very good Companion to the Gladiator Solid...as you can see in the video its longer and stronger in the backend, great ball to open up the lane with on a fresh shot...i look at it this way, it has the control of the gladiator with the backend power of an Ogre S/S...it also handles oil better than a Ogre S/S
OOB it can get a little squirty, but once you get a nice track on it, it really reads the lane nicely...i plan to take it to 4000 to see what it will do with no polish
Enjoy! And as always comments and questions are welcome!

I was actually suprised how many grown men said it was pretty

the Solid Gladiator & the SS Pearl had a better carry % on 2 different patterns
I just didnt put any misses in for the Solid Gladiator or SS, the video was already 6 Min long as it is
I actually missed a few times with the S/S where i caught too much oil up front and it never read the pattern properly, i should have put those in there...
In all actuality the SS is more sensitive to the oil/dry line, its more squirty in oil and a bit harder off the dry...the gladiator pearl reads the lane better IMO...

Smoother! like it's counterpoint the Solid Glad. I don't have one yet but will by next late summer/fall season. Seems like it's much like the OP which I love.

Besides, the colors... my firts impression was that the GP looks a bit like a Smokin' Inferno, just less shaggy and with some red "rally stripes". But the color choice and high contrast make it easy to see what the ball does on the lane, and I have seen uglier things around, too.
Me wants one!

I must say, I like the way the ball looks in both appearance and reaction. Looks like something that could replace my Kinetic.
