- The Break Pearl

First Impressions
With The Break Pearl, 900 Global brings a fascinating new development to market, one that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Break Asymmetric core, which with a 2.48 RG and a 0.058 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, 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, sharper direction changes. The technical match between core and cover is extremely harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing The Break Pearl with the Storm Hy-Road Pearl, the glaring differences in backend reaction are immediately apparent. The Storm Hy-Road Pearl tends to read a bit earlier, while The Break Pearl holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. That trait makes it a perfect complement in the arsenal when the Hy-Road Pearl starts losing energy in the pocket or entering too flat. Although both balls have a similar orientation toward lighter oil patterns, The Break Pearl offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It is the ideal solution for situations in which the Hy-Road Pearl 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 bit and the transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction in the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which produces maximum, explosive carry. As the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, the ball lets you systematically move further inside and play the pocket from a much deeper angle. It works excellently on 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 misses to the outside, it should keep your scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
