I drilled the Mutant Pearl with the pin above my fingers, 4 3/4" from my axis, cg out (enough to drill weight hole), MB 1 1/2" right of thumb, 1 1/8" weight hole on my VAL, 2" down from my axis (4 7/8>up 13/16). The Pearl gets down the lane about 2' longer than my Mutant solid on a fresh house shot. The reaction off the dry is a very smooth,arcing motion through the pins. The Pearl hits hard, like all the Cell balls, with strong continuation through the pins with little deflection. Like most Pearl shell balls, the Mutant Pearl will skid long if it stays in the oil too far down lane.
If you are looking for a complement to the mutant solid, the pearl fits right in. If you're looking for a ball with a little more length with hitting power off the dry, the Mutant Pearl will get it done.
