BOWLING BALL INFOS

First Impressions
With the Bank Pearl, 900 Global brings a fascinating new development to the market that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Symmetric core, which with a 2.55 RG and a 0.042 differential ensures a very clean motion through the front part of the lane. The Pearl Reactive cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The nature of the surface with a Polished finish massively supports this trait by letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually the ball is a real eye-catcher and immediately conveys that this model was designed primarily for later and sharper changes of direction. The technical match between core and cover is extremely harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the Bank Pearl to the Roto Grip Hustle, the glaring differences in backend reaction are immediately apparent. The Roto Grip Hustle tends to read a bit earlier, while the Bank Pearl holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. This trait makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Hustle starts losing energy in the pocket or entering too flat. Although both balls have a similar orientation toward lighter oil patterns, the Bank Pearl offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is the ideal solution for situations in which the Hustle no longer develops enough drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength once the lane has been played in a little and the transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction in the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which delivers maximum, explosive carry. When the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, the ball lets you move systematically further inside and attack the pocket from a considerably deeper angle. It is very well suited to medium to dry conditions and is an excellent choice if you're looking for a clean, quick-reacting cover. Thanks to its forgiving nature on shots missed to the outside, it should keep your scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
