As I discussed recently, I have a QZ1 Red Pearl drilled for short patterns like Cheetah and Viper. I drilled up a QZ1 Purple with a low pin under the bridge with the cg kicked out 45 degrees and a XH on the VAL in the middle of grip. This layout will match up to my TR2 which is a lot stronger ball, but I wanted to match up the QZ1 Purple layout with the TR2, so I can simply change cover stock and weight block when the lanes start to change. I want a similar ball read just a little later down the lane, as the TR2 is much earlier and stronger.

The QZ1 Purple, is very clean thru the fronts just like the QZ1 Red Pearl, but has an earlier reaction in the mid lane and very smooth. On the backend, the QZ1 Purple has a very strong roll and continuation through the pins. I use the QZ1 Purple on the Chameleon PBAX pattern, I'm sure on a house shot this would be a ball to have in the bag. I have recommended to people looking for a two ball arsenal, to go with the QZ1 Red Pearl and Purple, both with the same pin placement and layouts, and let the cover stock dictate which ball to use.
