All depends on ball motion I guess.

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 ??

I dont particularly care for pearls as I would rather just polish a solid coverstock. This stems from my house conditions during league though

I hear you,,, but a lot of what makes a pearl a pearl, is the material that they put in it! Not just the polish! The polish I think adds lots of games before you need to de-0il the ball.

In my house I can throw any ball, Matte like my beatdown, or polished pearl like my to best games this year, (IQ pearl, and Virtual Gravity nano pearl),

My comment is maybe just from a less maintenance standpoint the pearls, with polish might be less work!

If you polish your matte ball, like you do e tank, I am sure it will absorb less oil too, plus give you more flip at the end, and save up energy going through the heads!

Very true although in the case of my teammate who doesnt wipe or clean his pearls, they sweat much more than even my matte heavy oilers lol

I can wipe my sync after every shot, and clean it after every set.

Do nothing to my Primal Rage.

After 50 games Sync will sweat oil for an hour and a half, nothing from the rage.

sync must have some very large pores then huh lol

even when i had a hell raiser revenge and now a defiant, they dont sweat much, if at all whereas if i even breathe too much on my buddies lucid or iq, they leak

The IQ Tour Pearl Jason Belmonte was using on TV today clearly had blue oil in it and I believe Belmonte does wipe his balls off. I agree that it sure seems like pearls would absorb less oil but things aren't always as they seem.
