Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

fantastic ball

I love this ball. It gives me a wider range of carry when lanes start to transition. Great shape and great power through the pins. This ball will recover as well as skid when you miss slightly. This is my new favorite weapon in my bag.

Pros:

good

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I should have two in my arsenal.

This ball is fantastic. I always rolled 14lbs balls and left many ten pins. Since I've owned this Idol Pearl I leave little to none ten pins and bowled my first ever 800 series. Strong down lane power through the pins.

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent ball if your looking for a strong finish

This ball gave me more continued hook than my SonIQ so it fit nicely in my arsenal. Because of it's strong reaction down lane, as they dry out, I can move inside and still carry the corner pins. It is my second strongest ball but even works on medium to light oil conditions. This ball has a nice shape and controllable movement all the way down the lane. I think every bowler should have this in their bag.

Question:
hello. will this ball be a good replacement ball for the original dare devil?

10/28/2018 - By jpb

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:
This does have some similarities to the Dare Devil but this is going to be a stronger ball and it can handle more oil than the original Dare Devil could. They both go longer on the lanes because of their pearl coverstocks but the idol pearl will be stronger on the backend.

How will this ball compare to the Black Widow Pink for hook and strength ?

10/21/2019 - By Jenna

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:
They are actually very comparable and are going to give you basically the same reaction. Both are pearl coverstocks with a polished finish for good length. The Black Widow Pink may have a slightly stronger weight block but not by much.

140 average. Need 12# ball. What ball is best

1/7/2020 - By Ceu

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:
There is not specifically one 12lb ball that is the best. You would want to find a ball that best suites your lane conditions and your style of bowling. You may use our ball selector page to help narrow down the results to find an option here: https://www.bowling.com/shopping/all/bowling-balls/all

Question:
If I take the polish off the ball, will it hook less

1/20/2020 - By Buzz

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:
Usually dulling down the finish will make the ball grip and hook more and it also makes the ball start hooking earlier on the lanes.

1/23/2020 - By Bowling.Com Staff

Question:
Hello. I have a Storm Lock and a Storm Sync. I'm looking for something a little less aggressive but not too drastic of a change. I have the most difficulties in the 2nd game of a league night during Transition. Would this ball be a good step down in aggressiveness from those other 2 balls? I like a straight down with backend shape.

1/22/2020 - By MayoTheGreat

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:
With the Storm Lock and Storm Sync both being high performance for heavier oil it is a good step down to go to the upper mid performance ball that can handle down to medium oil so that you can use this when the lanes start breaking down and the Lock and Sync are too strong.
