900 Global Xponent Pearl Bowling Ball

Dual Angle Layout: 55 x 6 x 35 Storm Vector Layout: 6 x 4 1/8 x 2 ½ The Xponent Pearl is everything I expected from the Xponent line. This ball is the perfect complement to the original Xponent. This ball and clean and continuous on the backend. This is my go to ball when the lanes start to burn up and I need a ball to get through the fronts without loosing energy in the back end.

The 900 Global Xponent Pearl is the newest addition in 900 Global's lineup. Following the successful path that the Xponent has paved in smooth controllable ball motion, the Xponent Pearl shines as a symmetric pearl that pulls on those same strings. The 702 Blend Pearl that wraps the Shrapnel 2.0 core provides strong but consistent ball motion after the front part of the lane starts to dry up. While I see a much more defined breakpoint shape from the Xponent Pearl, it is still easily repeatable and controllable. Compared to the Roto Grip Attention Star, the Xponent Pearl revs up much faster and provides more board coverage. The Attention Star is much earlier and smoother. I can see the Attention Star being used on some higher volume patterns while adding some surface to the cover to blend out the wet/dry. The Xponent Pearl brings a solid 2-3 punch following the Xponent in the bag.

I started off my Xponent review with this statement, “I have some strong words for this ball!  The Xponent has risen to the level of my favorite benchmark ball EVER!” The Xponent Pearl does NOT disappoint either!! I really have to compare the Xponent balls with the Idol and Idol Pearl. Both of those were balls that I used for a long time and drilled multiples of both. The same will be said with the Xponents. They just give me shapes that match up so well will my ball roll and speed. But the funny thing is, I have drilled a ton of Xponent’s for people and they all say the same thing. It really is one of the best benchmark balls ever and THE best I have ever thrown. Xponent Pearl gives me a slightly cleaner and more angular motion than the Xponent and lets me continue with that shape for an entire league night. Once you get to a certain point at our place, you just have to get out of the solid and get into a pearl to create more angle. This ball is spectacular on its own and amazing as a 1-2 punch with the Xponent!

The newest addition to the 900 Global 700 blend line is the Xponent Pearl. The Xponent Pearl features the same core found in the Xponent wrapped around the all new 702 pearl blend. This ball is a great step down from the original Xponent, this ball is cleaner and more angular than the first release of the Xponent. I think that this ball will be a staple in the bag. The ball is strong enough to throw early in blocks, yet versatile enough to throw as the lanes break down and you need to move to the inside part of the lane.

900 Global Xponent Pearl ball review: Bowler specs: 15.5 mph and rev rate in the 380’s and my is PAP is 3 ¼ and at zero up/down and tested on Pro-Lane at ABC North Lanes in Harrisburg, Pa. Ball specs: Shrapnel 2.0 symmetric core with the reserve blend 702 pearl cover, with box finish with Reacta Gloss. With adding the Xponent Pearl to the 700 series in the 900 Global line, it gives a ball with RG and Diff numbers that are not available in the Roto Grip or Storm lines of bowling balls, it adds a look that most league bowlers need. The Shrapnel 2.0 is an early revving core and for me the original Xponent was a little flat in back end reaction for me during league. The Xponent is better for me for flatter and challenging patterns because of how smooth the overall reaction is. For the pearl version, it gives a completely different pearl motion of the Zen Gold Label and I am able to shape the shot better because of the RG and Diff numbers. Where the Zen Gold, went longer down lane because the backend reaction would kick in, it tended to not recover quick enough for me on the Pro-lane I bowl league on. As you can see on my YouTube video, the Xponent Pearl and enter the pocket at a bunch of angles, which would allow all different level of bowlers enjoy striking A LOT with the Xponent Pearl.

This is a ball I have been waiting on for a long time. Ever since the Idol Pearl was removed from the lineup I been looking for its replacement on the lighter to medium oil conditions. A lot of the other benchmark pearls I had found to be too smooth and not angular enough. The Xponent pearl is that ball. When I look to bal down in league I nave exclusively been going to this as my first option. This is a ball you can drop to on the stronger asymmetrical solid and pearls as well as the symmetrical solids and/or pearls. This is a bowlers ball and should be in everyones bag.

Same as the emurge

Hey everyone, I'm back with another ball review, and this time it's for the 900 Global Xponent Pearl. At 14 pounds this ball is wrapped in the Reserve Blend 702 Pearl Coverstock and has the Shrapnel 2.0 Symmetric Core, used in the XPonent Solid Core with an RG of 2.49, Diff of .042. The layout for this ball is 4.5x4.5x1 Now that I have thrown this ball I have found it a very clean ball and is a great ball down from a ball like the Attention Star. In league we have a wet/dry shot and I stay near or near the track and when the Attention Star burns up the Xponent Peal is a great step down and allows me to stay in the zone that I was playing. This will be a ball that will be in many bags especially if you are a tournament player. This will be a ball used a lot in league, maybe as the game three ball or in a tournament it will be later in the block ball. To go along with balls like the Storm Summit and as I have said in other reviews being more speed than rev dominant I have found this ball to look best going straight down the track. The Xponent Pearl is not as rolly as my Summit so I did have to start moving left as I threw it. I have thrown it against the 900 Global Zen Gold Label as well and had to move right as the Zen GL is a shiny pearl with React Gloss.

layout: 5 x 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 surface: Reacta Gloss The Xponent pearl brings back the Shrapnel 2.0 Core combined with the new Reserve Batch 702 Pearl Coverstock. Designed for medium oil, the Xponent pearl will be one step below the Zen Gold Label in terms of total hook. I got to test this ball on a 44ft Typical House Shot and a 42ft Sport Pattern. The Xponent pearl's primary use is for medium oil conditons which means on most typical house patterns, wouldn't be fantastic on fresh oil. For me, I found it to be too weak for my style to be great on the fresh. It was very responsive to the dry and had trouble picking up in the inside oil. It is however a great step down from the Xponent Solid as it gives a few more feet of length and a more angular backend. The xponent pearl was great in transition after the Xponent became too slow down the lane. I was able to stand in the same place on the approach and use the same line on the lane to continue to strike. The Xponent Pearl got through the front of the lane easier and backended much harder. It was actually pretty surprising how well it read the lane front to back. Bowlers should get the Xponent pearl if they have the Xponent Solid and are looking for a cleaner and more responsive option or as a ball down option from the Zen Gold. On the 42ft Sport Pattern, I was again pretty surprised how well the ball read the pattern considering how much more volume there was than the house pattern. As expected though, the ball was only usable in the transition phase of the pattern. It was a better second transition and step down from the Zen Gold. The Zen Gold was overall stronger by a few boards and more angular down the lane. It was easier to use the Zen Gold after a ball such as the Harsh Reality than the Xponent Pearl was. As the lanes broke down more from the Zen Gold, the Xponent Pearl really came alive. I was able to move into the oil more while allowing the ball to utilize the drier conditions that I had created. The ball continued well and angled well through the pins. The Xponent Pearl I feel was designed properly based on its specs. It is definitely better for use on medium to drier lane conditions but due to the lower rg of the core, it can handle a little more oil if you remove the reacta gloss. The most optimal use for this ball in league would be game 2 and/or 3 depending on your style or conditions and more of a burn type ball for sport tournament conditions. Adam Chase Storm Staff

This ball is by far just as big of a sleeper as the original XPonent. To get this reliable of a ball for the price point in the line is amazing. Very clean similar to the Summit Peak but a touch smoother on the back ends similar to the Sublime.
