Respect Pearl
« on: July 07, 2015, 09:46:52 AM »
Description: This ball deserves nothing but Respect! The 900Global Respect Pearl bowling ball takes the Tera symmetric core and alters it to have a slightly higher RG and lower Diff to offer a little more length.  900Global's 74 Response Pearl coverstock reacts to backend friction to shift the direction of the ball on medium-heavy lane conditions.
Features:

- Color: Orange/Red/Silver All colors do vary somewhat from the picture shown.
- Coverstock: 74 Response Pearl
- Finish: 1500 Grit, Polished
- Core: Tetra LD Symmetric
- Recommended Lane Condition: Medium-Heavy Oil
- RG:  2.52 (15# ball)
- Diff:  0.047 (15# ball)

Layout: 75 x 4 3/4 x 35 (Surface OOB)

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): THS/ WTBA Athens

With the layout that I used on this Respect pearl I was expecting alot of length with a flippy back end reaction. The length I certainly got but to my surprise this one didn't go sideways on the back half of the pattern. Much like the original Respect, this complement gives me that same heavy roll throughout the midlane and an easy transition off the dry. You will get the same continuation through the pins as the original Respect as well. This is a great complement to the original Respect or Black Ops.

I wouldn't say that this is the first ball that you take out of your bag. Once the pattern starts to open up and you require something to clear the heads this will be a good go to piece.

BALL SPECS:

Coverstock: 74 Response Pearl
Finish: 1500 Grit, Polish
Core: Tetra LD Symmetric
Layout: 60 x 4 x 35
RG: 2.52
Differential: 0.047


TEST ENVIROMENT:

40’ Typical House Shot – Synthetic Surface

REVIEW:

I was EXTREMELY excited to get my Respect Pearl.  This ball will allow higher rev players, such as myself to stay further right longer.  This is another great one two punch from 900 global.  People will be able to start out using the original Respect, once that ball is too strong in the mid-lane then they will be able to the Respect Pearl and move 2 or 3 boards back right.

Coming of the success of the Respect, this introduction takes backend motion to another level. The Respect Pearl comes wrapped with the 74 Response pearl cover, previously used on the Dream. It also uses the same core shape as in the Respect with a slight tweak on the core numbers. This version is best for medium oil conditions. I used a 45x4x65 layout on the Respect Pearl.

Bowling on a 40 foot medium volume oil house shot, the Respect Pearl has the perfect combo of length with backend shape. Giving you more length and a more angular backend shape than the Respect. This was perfect for our house shot. It allowed me to move in and really open up the lane. This cover will handle oil a little better than most pearls on the market.

If you liked the first Respect this new version will not disappoint. This is the pearl ball everyone needs to have in their bags this season.

900 Global Respect Pearl
#15.3
3" pin
2.2 oz top

Rt. hand
14-15 mph
PAP 4 9/16

Drilling: 5 x 3, pin up, surface OOB
Volume 38-41ft
THS, Kegel Challenge Series, Sport

Drilled my Respect Pearl 5 x 3, pin up over label.  This one does as advertised.  Touch less overall hook that Respect and for me has a nice controllable pop on the backend.  With the layout I am able to swing the track and see an arc/flip motion that enables me to hang out in the dry longer than normal.  Pleasantly surprised with the skid up front this ball gives me but the lower diff seemed to give it some mid lane revs you normally don't see in a pearl.  Throwing this through the breakpoint wasn't a concern at all.  Excellent compliment to the original Respect as it fits that I need more skid the lanes are breaking down transition -  and it looks cool too!  Great addition to the Global line.

900 Global Respect Pearl

Coverstock: 74 Responseâ„¢ Pearl
Finish: 1500 Grit, Polished
Color: Orange/Red/Silver
Core: Tetra LDâ„¢ Symmetric
Flare Potential: 4-5″
Layout: 45* x 5-1/8 x 33*

Bowler specs:
17 MPH
60* axis rotation
22* axis tilt
350 rev rate

I loved the Dream from 900 Global so I was highly excited to see the release of the Respect Pearl since it has the same cover and it has not disappointed. Since drilling it about 5 weeks ago it has not left my bag and it is the first ball out to see the initial transition of the lanes once one of the Engineer series balls begins to hook too soon. I have seldom in all the hundreds of balls I have drilled ever had a ball that finishes as strong as the Respect Pearl. Just ordered my second one and can't wait to try another layout on this gem.

After having a chance to get in some games on my Respect Pearl, I wish I would have been trying to using it more.  What I see with this ball is it does need a little friction and it's somewhat skiddish in a pile of oil. But a positive that I did see is when I shipped it to the dry the ball blended that part of the lane out very well and the ball gave me the feeling I could attempt to throw the ball as far right as I wanted without having the fear of it not coming back.  I see this ball fitting most styles of bowlers on medium to dry conditions.  Speed dominate players are going to need stronger drills with low holes and maybe a little surface change.  Good luck in all your bowling and go global!!!

74 Response Pearl Coverstock @ 1500 polish
Tetra Symmetric core
layout - 60x3.75"x60
weighthole below PAP
RG - 2.52
Diff - .047
Pin - 3.5"
Ball speed - 17-18mph
Right-handed cranker
Lane condition - 41' THS medium/heavy
This ball is a great compliment to the Respect! If you love the reaction of the Respect and need a little more length, look no further than the Respect Pearl! Another MUST-HAVE for your arsenal! This ball works best when the lanes have started transitioning and you need something to read the midlane clean and not jump left off the back. As with the original Respect, the Respect Pearl gives a nice, smooth, predictable reaction with continuation through the pocket. Works great on the fresh as well!

Extremely exciting ball.  The Respect Pearl is a ball that compliments the respect perfectly.  The aggressive coverstock of the Respect is well complimented by the Respect pearl. The pearl gets down a little farther but still has the same general amount of hook known to be loved by the respect.  The tight roll keeps everything moving down lane.  You can play a little straighter if you need to or have the ball get through the heads a little easier.  The power is not lost at all for with this great looking bowling ball.  If you have the respect, go ahead and build your arsenal with the pearl.  It will be something you can switch back and forth between.  I am truly pleased with my pearl and will use it for some time to come.  Very excited.  Tons of high scores already posted with ball.  I only hope the same for you.  Pick it up today!

Layout: 50*x4"x35*
Ball Speed: 15.5 - 16
PAP: 4-5/8" (right), 1-1/4" (up)
Surface: OOB (1,500 polished)
Pattern Type: THS, 2015 USBC Masters, Viper

COMMENTS
Clean through the front part of the lane with a nice balance of skid and flip ball shape. When the Respect is grabbing too early or Dream Big is too angular, put the Respect Pearl in your hand. You will definitely be able to get deep when the lanes break down and play some area. I found the OOB cover to be a winner on a wide variety of patterns from a THS to sport. The shelf appeal is 2nd to none with this ball. Pick one up and earn some more respect!

This ball is THE go to ball on a typical house shot.  The 37’-38’ house oil pattern is what this ball is designed to read like a book.  The Respect Pearl is without a doubt the sharpest hooking ball I have in my arsenal.  It is very smooth through the heads and begins its lift off to the pocket as soon as it crosses the 42’-43’ mark.  I drilled this one at 1:30 off the ring finger and MB 1” right of the thumb hole and used 2000-grit on the cover.  Fall leagues are right around the corner so if you want to impress your friends and make them feel envious, show how you EARN Respect on the lanes. (My PAP is 5 3/4” right and 5/8” up, ball speed is about 15.5mph and medium rev rate)
