Well here we go! I was happy with the 900 Global Xponent solid bowling balls, and here is the pearl! People looking for a ball when the lanes break down or dry out a little, here you go. I bowl one of my leagues on wood lanes, and this ball is in my bag! Very happy with the way it rolls right out of the box. It gives you that extra length with the 702 Pearl cover and with the Shrapnel 2.0 Symmetric Core, its a great combination for those drier lane conditions. 900 Global has made its way, when the lanes have oil, or when they have light to medium oil....They have it covered!
