- Ivory Blue / Black / Silver Pearl

First Impressions
The ProBowl Ivory Pearl was released in August 2017 as part of the Ivory series, which stands out within the ProBowl lineup for its excellent value for money. The look is defined by an elegant, cream-white pearl finish, refined by a high-gloss polished factory finish. Technically, this model is a classic polyester ball designed specifically for extremely low friction. Inside works a traditional pancake core, which provides smooth, quiet ball motion and maximum directional stability. With an RG of about 2.69 and a minimal differential of roughly 0.006, the technical profile is consistently geared toward a straight path with no appreciable motion of its own. The cover is optimized to carry the energy of the delivery down the full length of the lane without any loss of traction.
Comparison Compared directly with performance balls like the Storm Phaze II, the ProBowl Ivory Pearl shows a completely opposite character, since it shows no reaction to friction at all and therefore attacks the pocket purely through the angle of the delivery. It compares best with industry standards like the Columbia 300 White Dot or the Brunswick T-Zone. While the Ebonite Maxim has similar skid characteristics, the ProBowl Ivory Pearl offers an even smoother surface thanks to its particular pearl shell, one that barely tends to grab even on dry boards. Unlike urethane models such as the Hammer Purple Pearl Urethane, which create a controlled arc in the backend, this ball stays absolutely true to its line and minimizes the risk of unpredictable reactions when it contacts dry spots at the end of the oil pattern.
On the Lanes The practical use of the ProBowl Ivory Pearl comes down primarily to two scenarios: precise spare shooting for advanced players and a first ball for beginners. It should deliver reliable performance when going after corner pins, since it bridges the heads and the midlane without any appreciable interaction with the oil film. If you have a high rev rate, it serves as an important tool for keeping control of your direction in difficult transition conditions. This ball's defining quality is predictability, as it very nearly neutralizes outside influences from the lane pattern. It also offers solid carry when hitting the pins straight on, which makes it a steady choice for daily practice and league play whenever maximum reduction of hook potential is what you want.
