    Great ball it was my first and if I can find a stock them I would buy them I love it that much. I have three ball I use, this one is the first out of the bag for me. It takes some managing at first if you are not used to a somewhat bigger hook, but soon at u get it down this thing just pounds the pins. I lent it to a friend and he pulled his first 700 series and he said he had more turkeys than he has had with any of his balls. If you don't own this ball buy it! You will not regret a single penny, and if you do send it to me cause I will take it in a heart beat.

    All i can say is that is a weak ball. i guess you get what you pay for. Pretty easy to control. Ive been using it as a ten ball because of how straight it goes. Ten pin % has gone up. It hates oil. It needs super dry lanes to hook at all. if you need a great ten pin ball than this is the ball for you. Everybody else pass on it. weak weak weak weak weak weak weak weak weak weak weak weak weak weak weak weak weak weak weak weak weak. It will probably be the last ball bring to the alley unless all my other balls crack in half. BUY THE NEW SCHORCIN INFERNO!!!!!!!!

    This ball gives you a lot more power and performance than you would normally expect from a ball in this price range. I thought the RS1 was an amazing pearl for medium but, believe it or not, the Pro Stock Pearl out hooks my RS1 by 4 boards with the same drilling. The RS1 still gets better backend and carry but for the price the Pro Stock Pearl seems more impressive. This has very good length and a moderate snap. Since my Eraser Banshee was good on light oil, I expected the Pro Stock Pearl to be a bit tamer due to the lower differential. When I tried it on a medium-light pattern, it took off like no tomorrow. The Hot line from Storm never really has impressed me, but this sure did. Imagine how good the Hot Rod Hybrid and Super Sport would be. This is one of my favorite pearls for a medium oiled condition.

    THIS BALL IS ONE OF MY FAVORIT BALLS OUT THERE. THE MAIN REASON FOR THAT IS THAT IT IS LIKE THE FIRST ONE. I LOVE THE FIRST HOT ROD AND THE PRO STOCK PEARL IS THE SAME. I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I FOUND A BALL THAT ROLLED THE SAME WAY AS THE FIRST ONE OF THE SERIES. I HAD 2 OF THE FIRST HOT ROD AND I SOLD ONE OF THEM FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER AND I REGRETED IT EVER SINCE I DID IT. SO ONCE I GOT THE PRO STOCK IVE BEEN HAPPY WITH IT. <scrip

    an other review to let you know how it is doin after the first 100 games. My specs: i throw about 16 mph, have botu 400 revs give or take; depends on the shot. i drilled this ball with layout 4. this ball clears the heads pretty easily, has excellent mid-lane read, and starts to turn over and has a nice smooth breakpoint to it. this ball is very controlable. i basically drilled this up as a compliment to my super charge and man does this ball do wonders. this ball is very versitile. i can go up the boards which i normally dont do but it works well or ball a deep swing shot. this ball carries everything. still hasnt showed signs of slowing down.

    i drilled the ball with layout 4. this is weaker than my original hot rod which is for light carry down with burnt heads. this ball is great for getting down the lane playing the swing shot or straight up the boards. this ball has excellent carry and not bad for the buck. even when it hit the dry still kept its lenght then made the turn a bit harder. just remember that this ball IMO is speed sensitive. pattern: 36 ft. shot with 18 units in the middle and 5 to the outside(blend) my speed and specs: 14 mph and about 400 revs. did throw harder like 18 mph but i had to play straight up 2 board and didnt like that. too early to tell though<scrip

    I purchased this ball in the hopes of playing a tighter corner shot in medium to light oil conditions; standing around 20 and throwing up between first and second arrow. However, this ball hooks more overall than my Track Phenom Unleashed. It doesn't hook in oil like the Unleashed but it is capable of covering more distance if you send it out to the dry. I was hoping to play up and in with this ball to give myself additional options when the lanes were light on oil but I was forced to swing the ball through the center outside to the dry in order to be successful. Also, playing straight up in the center oil makes the ball fairly useless. I will admit that once you find the sweet spot the ball carries extremely good but don't push the ball or pull it (even slightly) because it will make you pay. If you are looking for a drier lane ball this is not the ball for you.

    Used this ball for the first time tonight and did not know what to expect. I used it the first 2 games on our house shot and it worked extremely well. Our shot is medium oil on the heads with stripped back ends. This ball was perfect and had plenty of forgiveness when I missed my mark. Did not like the carry down though. Pin is above fingers in middle with star in my palm. Pin was 4.5 to 5 in. from Storm. I am a Storm lover and that is all I own. Great addition to my arsenal.

    Layout: Pin 4 1/2 from PAP, CG 4 7/8 from PAP. I have been looking for a long time for a ball to replace my Too Hot when the lanes really hook. This ball is it. It was hard to right a review on this right away because the only time I see the lanes really break down is when we bowl tourneys. I practiced with it a few times on our house shot and on sport patterns. On both this ball allowed me to play outside much farther then normal and still get the backend I desire. Then last weekend I bowled a tourney and in the finals they were burnt. The I was able to play 5th-6th arrow with ease knowing that the ball would get down the lane and flip even from playing so far in. This will be a ball that comes with me from now on.
