Featuring the Adaptor/D Ceramic Asymmetric core and wrapped with the new S86R Pearl coverstock, the Inception DCT Pearl provides easy length and a strong and angular backend motion.

The Inception DCT Pearl is better suited to handle heavier volumes of oil.

We tested the DCT Pearl on our fresh house shot pattern and we were surprised on how smooth and controllable this ball is.

Usually balls with asymmetric big cores and with a shiny pearl coverstock have a skid-flip motion, this is not the case with the Inception DCT Pearl.

We started playing straighter up the lane and we found a great line to the pocket. The Inception DCT is clean through the front part of the lane, but thanks to the Adaptor /D Ceramic Asymmetric core, the ball rev up quickly, providing a strong midlane read and a strong, but controlled backend motion.

This ball provided a big margin of error on our typical house shot pattern. Misses inside of target never went sideways and when we missed too far out, the ball offered a lot of recovery. We kept moving left with both our feet and our eyes, playing a straighter line to the pocket and the ball never overreacted.

We compared this ball with the Inception DCT. The DCT is stronger overall. It has more hook potential, is earlier, smoother and covers more boards than the DCT Pearl.

The Inception DCT Pearl is a great complement to the original DCT. When the solid DCT is too much ball or is losing energy down the lane, the DCT Pearl will be a great ball to go to without making big adjustments.

This ball will be a great option to use on broken down patterns when there is more friction and you need more length and more shape down the lane. What makes the DCT Pearl special is that is not a ball that will make you jump in to keep it in the pocket. It has the length and the shape down the lane of a pearl, but the control of a solid.

Overall, this ball brings a different motion into the 900 Global lineup. The strong, but controlled backend motion this ball has will be helpful to a lot of bowlers. Low rev, speed dominant bowlers will be able to use this ball playing straighter up the lane, while rev dominant bowlers will enjoy the predictability and the energy retention this ball provides.

Thank you for watching!

Still a no go for this ball.  Took it back up in surface and practiced with it on Friday. 8 10 out the gate and just didn't look good.  Bowled a tournament on Sunday and before I left I drilled the middle finger deeper to maybe reduce the flare a bit and just get it to change the reaction some.  Most of my stuff started moving too early so I tried the DCT the first frame of game 5 out of 6.  Pretty good shot, POCKET 7 10. I literally have thrown less than 4 full games with this ball and have left  5  7 10's and almost 3 or 4 more with the 7 falling late.  Something just isn't right.  I think I am selling it.

Could it still just be strong a coverstock (polished or not) for the amount of oil you're seeing and your ball speed?

Yes it could.. could be too strong a cover and too strong a layout and the ball is rolling forward too early.. But this last ball looked really good. Got down the lane and made a pretty good move to the pocket, and hit the hole pretty well.   Just is way too many 7 10s for any hook, roll, or 1 3 hit.

Weak 10 pins, 7 pins (for a righty) where the 5 pin just doesn't drive into the 7 pin, potential 8-10s,  where the 8 pin or the 10 pin falls late, or 7-10s in the pocket are indicators of a ball using up too much of its energy too early.
Too early a lane grab for the shine on the surface or for the bowler's ball speed.
either way, wrong ball.

I agree. Wrong ball.  Trying to find a way to make it more usable, because right now I don't see a condition where I would be able to find a use for it.   Thinking of a weight hole to reduce flare.  I might try to polish it even more, but I already put a pretty shiny surface on it.

I'm actually looking to punch one of these up for a regional in June. Pretty new pro anvil lane and depending on pattern length, may be what I need to be above my Stealth.

I'm ready to sell mine to the highest bidder.  It might have a full 4 games.. probably not even that.
