On the other hand the ball is great it took me a few throws to get use to to it as I have always used conventional grip with the house ball. It's a big difference to have a ball that fits properly my game is already better. I got a strike or 2 in the first couple minutes after the ball was drilled.

    I am pleased with it I am curious to hear people thoughts though.
    I have the regular Misfit(orange/Blue) and quite like it. If they would have had the pearl when I bought mine I would have likely gotten it instead.

    I've seen the Pearl thrown and it is exactly as described; Pearl Coverstock entry level ball.

    I like it now myself. The thing is with it being such a light color ball it shows all the dirt from the ball return but it seems to come off with the cleaner I bought. On the the other hand I bowled my best game yet in the league tonight in the 3rd game I scored 116 that's my highest since bowling in the league and the fact that I now have a ball that actually fits me is probably a big reason to having a better game. My average is 96 I hoping by the time the league is done for the summer I will have at least a 120 average.

    Great job. Having a ball that fits you properly will make it a lot easier to advance your game.

    The fact that it shows all the lanes/return dirt and whatnot is the only complaint I have heard of on this ball. another thing that can help you wil your goal would be to get in a few games of practice 1-2 times a week if you can.

    First bowling ball I've owned is an old Columbia backyard bully. Threw that in high school when I was on the team. Then later my junior year, I got a Brunswick avalanche. I got it for free just by filling out an application and meeting the requirements. I enjoyed throwing both those balls.I really had a gragreat time those years

    Great news! You will get there the biggest advise I can give you is watch every shot. Keep your eyes on where you aim and where the ball hits the lanes. After you hit your mark watch the reaction the ball gives you. Learn to keep an eye on what your ball is doing. It makes it easy to adjust if you know what your ball is doing at all parts of the lane.

    That is great that the ball is working out for you. The goal you set sounds like a good one. It is important as you progress to set goals that are attainable in a reasonable amount of time. If there is certified coaching available in your area you might consider that. Good luck to you!
