- Can you build an all pearl ball arsenal of balls? I'm going to find out!
I'll be using the Track Paragon Pearl, Stealth Pearl and Tundra Fire.
With the help of SPECTO data, it'll help tell the story about reaction shape, overall hook and continuation through the pins. Here are the SPECTO data points used and definition of each term:
Ball Speed - Speed measured off the hand.
Rev Rate - Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
Launch Angle - The angle the ball traveled the first 10 feet.
Break Point Position - Board at which the ball was at its outermost position.
Total Hook - Total number of boards the ball crosses on the way to the pins.
Hook Power - Number of boards the ball hooked based on the True Breakpoint.
Entry Angle - The angle of the ball between 51 and 55 feet.
Impact Angle - The angle of the ball between 57 and 59.5 feet.
Pin Deck Exit - Ball position at the end of the pin deck.

I do love me a pearl but I might just have to at least one solid in there, but I like the premise. I'm old and I grew up with polyester, rubber and urethane. So this changing the surface is foreign to me but intriguing. Thanks Nick
You didn’t try 800 grit!! Also a pin down big core pearl with a touch of surface works great on fresh!!! #Team800Grit #Pindowntheworld
If there ever was a sport that you really needed to know your equipment, Bowling is definitely it.
Would love to see the Specto data on the Stealth Pearl with surface vs the original Stealth
Don't have an original Stealth drilled unfortunately.
@@brunsnick you should fix that lol
I'd like to see the kinetic cobalt again
Would love to see a Specto comparison of the "weak/moderate" pearl asyms -- Innovator, Madness, & 3-D Offset Attack; at box & 2000 finishes. Great informative vids you have.
Fun video as always... I've only recently started planning with surface. Think I'll still get different covers though, lol. Could be helpful if I only bring one ball to my next tournament, ha.
I got my first pearl ball the other day : stealth pearl because the local house has had very dry lanes lately and i could barely keep my black widow 2.0 out of the left gutter. Since i got the Pearl ball the lanes have had decent amount of oil and now the black widow strikes and the lanes are too wet for the Stealth pearl. But at least now I have options! Having only one ball when you don't match up is very frustrating!
How long does the surface last on pearl balls? Does it quickly lane shine back up?
Lasts the same as dull solids would.
Great video!! By me turning 60 with slower ball speed, playing with surfaces is constant challenge to give me length & power !
I agree but I am wondering if low speed low rev player would benefit more from an all pearl arsenal compared to one or two with some surface on it. I am the player I am talking about and practiced today on my house lanes which are wood and it is a high friction house and went with the absolute the dark moss wolverine and a burner pearl all three balls are polished and the lanes were broken down from league last night. Ended up hitting the wolverine with a 3000 pad and got a better look but thinking about hitting it with a 2000 pad to see if it helps or hinders it
Good video, I've been wanting a pearl arsenal ever since bowling in Reno. Want a Stealth pearl, Zen, and a Ruby.
For me I would have the layout creating the difference uses as their control layout. 60×4-3/4"×30° and have the tundra fire at 3000 trucut or 2000 trucut to be earlier and more motion . The stealth pearl 1500/3000/p5000d trucut by hand so it looks shiny but there is no polish on the ball for my quick change of direction ball, the paragon pearl 4000 grit to knock of the shine
A 1/4 inch difference in pin to PAP and 10 degrees in the VAL angle is not going to make a significant difference that you would see with the naked eye.
You just threw my current league bag surfaces and all.
😅bring back the track tko in a hybrid cover stock
an all pearl arsenal are what my nightmares are made of
That is the great, yet frustrating, part about bowling. So many different possibilities! What-When-How dilemma
Infinite possibilities and combinations.
Great videos Nick. I'm a novice at best but we're getting heavier into playing. So, I'm adding a Stealth Pearl next (tough call on that or the Envy Tour Pearl but I like the look of Stealth better and my spare ball is same as the Envy). My question for you is if you surface a ball, and you later go back higher grain again to 2000 or 3000+ and polish to essentially return it to slick? I have those same pads, and I was going to use them to refurbish an older ball. Just curious if you can give it some surface and then slick it back out again? Also, which you recommend, Envy Tour Pearl vs Stealth Pearl for a novice, slow spead medium rev bowler only bowling on house lanes rarely even leagues. Thank You.
Yes absolutely you can polish them back up but you’ll need a higher speed spinner to do so. Adding surface by hand is easy but polishing by hand will be a lot harder going the other way.
Great video & like the way the heavier oil creates more separation among the balls. On the first shot it looked like the Stealth went wider & ‘bounced’ off drier boards. I wonder it had been on top of the Tundra Fire line if it would have struck.
Surface is your friend.
It’s my BFF
Surface on pearl for best friend?
Great video Nick. Very helpful/educational. Glad I found your channel =)
Glad you did too! 👍🏻
So hey Nick I know this is an older video that I'm commenting on but I hope you get this message. I noticed you got a sweet new haircut in this video and couldn't help notice you have some sort of rash on the back of your head. After seeing that I thought back to a moment in my life when I had something similar on the back of my head and after going to several Dr's and lots of tests and investigations it was determined that I had been bitten by a tick and ended up with Lyme disease which was doing all kinds of crazy things to my body. Hopefully you don't have this, but thought I would pass along this information just in case.
Thank you! I battle with some psoriasis from time to time. Been growing my hair out so it becomes less itchy which helps.
Cool video talk tech bowling bowling ball
Hey Nick, what interchangeable thumb do you use?
Ultimate.
I love your videos! I have a question for you regarding the Track Paragon Pearl. How does it compare to the Hammer 3-D Offset Attack?
Both balls will be in the same performance range, but from my experience, I think the 3D Offset Attack flips and continues just a little harder. The lower intermediate diff makes this possible. The Paragon Pearl is no slouch, but I think it’ll be the first one to roll forward heads up against eachother.
My favorite pearl is dull currently. Dull Incognito Pearl go brrrrr
The Incognito core is so good
Wouldn't the solid Stealth be the same as the Stealth pearl if you added surface to it? 🤔
No. Completely different base resins.
I prefer pearls, and have several. Radical Rave, that I threw a 300 with, Intel Pearl, Pandemonium Pearl, as well as an original Wolverine and a Hammer 3D Offset. That came with 2000 factory. I have it at 500 currently, and have also had it with 1000 and compound. I recently bought a GB4 hybrid, which I love. It does feel like a pearl, probably because of the compound. I maintain all of my pearls with compound.
I think you can, just because they are pearl doesn't mean they have to be shinny or polished. Take something like the paradox and sand it to a 1000 or 1500 grit, maybe the stealth at a 2000 to 3000 grit and leave the Tundra fire at out of box or even take it down to a 1500 then sand it back to a 4000grit or fast 4k
Key question, how long does surface last, just a few shots, one game, three games or more? I think I saw a video by Creating the Difference where he used a surface scanner after throwing several balls and the surface started dull and progressively changed to a higher or smoother surface the more shots he threw.
They start shining up incrementally every shot. It wouldn’t take more than a game using the Stealth for it to get closer to 2500 with a scan. Eventually, all bowling balls will level out somewhere near 3800 after extended use.
@@brunsnick thank you Nick for the continued great content, I’m learning a lot.
Replace the stealth with the archetype then you're set
Then it wouldn’t be all Pearl
@@brunsnick yeah, I know. An all pearl arsenal is weird
Great video, especially for a Track fan like myself.
Nick, I know you said there was heavier oil. Was this the same house pattern with just more volume or did you put out a longer pattern than the usual house shot?
Test heavy is 43’ 32.12mL 2.8:1 and test medium is 42’ 19.55mL 5.6:1
@@brunsnick Appreciate it. Not sure how you feel about guys throwing ideas out there. But since you did a test heavy and always a test medium pattern; do you think you would ever do a test light and do something like an Axe, Raw Hammer, and Hammer Reactive (or Tundra Fire) video? I think this is what sets you apart from other ball videos. You are willing to get creative like you did with the Surface Challenge with the Columbia Madness. It would be interesting to see one video where the condition was more like a 36-38 foot pattern.
It’s possible. I welcome all ideas but I’ll only run with the ones I think will be entertaining or informative. 👍🏻
So glad you hit the stealth with surface first. I have people ask why my asym has less surface than my sym. My league bag has an allure pearl with 1500, paradox black with compound, and an ocean vibe with about 4k. They step down perfectly through the night.
It’s all about finding that right match for what you bowl on and what ball comes next during transition. 👍🏻
NICK! It really is interesting because in the two centers I bowl in most…THS medium volume. Watched the lanes transition yesterday after 4 minutes of practice…I would’ve probably been in the Tundra at the start of the second game.
BW 2.0 Hybrid would’ve been too much for the pattern!!!
Test Heavy Pattern is pretty stout here. 43’ 32mL 2.8:1
@@brunsnick very cool…I’d look like a newborn giraffe trying to get his legs under him on that pattern! Bring on more volume for the fall season!!!
Good Video.
Last couple times ive surfaced a couple balls theyve hooked less and struggle to make it back to the pocket compared to before, does that mean its burning up? Or did i somehow do something wrong? Needless to say messing with the surface scares me now lol
More surface equals lower number pad.... 500, 1000......more aggressive . Higher numbers 3000, 4000, P5000D, start to translate into more length and stored energy.....so length and snap.
You have to move as the oil on the lane dictates ......you need to go practice changing the surface to SEE what the changes DO. This will teach you what number pad to use....😊
And don’t just add surface to add surface. If you’re bowling on dry lanes and you add surface to a ball, it will likely perform worse.
