Byte vs Virtual Gravity Nano pearl

[Vince805]

Well i ended up getting the storm byte after all and it did not disappoint! I used it all 3 games Thursday night in league and it didn't start well, considering it was the first time throwing the ball was that night! so it took some messing with and getting used to....first game i bowled 180, second game 199, and third game one i figured out our MESSED UP LAND CONDITIONS!! i bowled a 248. 8 strikes to finish out. i'm sure on a fresh pattern i would of done better because one lane was the other was DRY! ive never had a VG nano but my pro shop guy said they are very similar. the byte has a very aggressive response to friction which makes it stronger in the back but the VG nano pearl is stronger on heavy long oil. and a stronger cover.
I'm very happy with my choice and cant wait to use it again! let me tell you it does make a heck of a turn when it hit the dry in the back! WOW!
And sine everyone is commenting on smell it does smell AMAZING! lol everyone likes the smell. I recommend it :-)

Iceman, that's almost the exact layout I know have in my IQ Tour Pearl. Mine has the CG even further right because my PAP is more than 6" over and the balance hole is now on my PAP. I haven't tried it yet with the new balance hole position but will tomorrow morning. I'm still up because I have been soaking my thumb. I got a sliver at work and was unable to dig it out. Now it's infected. It feels much better after soaking it in hydrogen peroxide for an hour but I still think the sliver is in there.

Byte is a good looking ball. The coverstock on my Sync is almost dead and I hardly throw it anymore but every time I do... Still love the ball motion.

I am sure its been mentioned before, but I have a very logical mind,,,lol,,,, and it just makes sense to me that a polished ball would not absorb as much oil, and that matte balls, would have a much shorter life span!

OR that you would need to de-oil the ball much more often to keep it in (close to out of box condition)!

Nothing absorbs oil as much as the coverstock on my storm sync.

By contrast, I just put 30 games on my new primal rage (polished) and went to do a de-oil test and it didn't have a drop in it....

I have come to the same conclusion,,, I am sure there is a good reason to go pearl, but it beyond ability to figure out WHY!
All my big game balls, and series have been with pearl balls. MUCH less work to keep the oil out! ( they don't absorb nearly as much)!

I think a pearl ball can do most anything you want depending,,, DEPENDING on how its drilled. Now I am talking standard house patterns, that 99.9 percent of bowlers participate in!!

Any other thoughts on this???

Is their REALLY a need for a matte ball ??
