Infrared & Inception Pearl First Impressions
« on: October 18, 2016, 09:26:18 AM »
Hey Everyone, just wanted to give a quick first impression on the Infrared & Inception Pearl. I threw the Infrared last night for the first time during league. First set with it 771 (Blah-Blah just THS). Now as to where this ball really fits into the bag. Sometimes a ball company states what their intentions were for a ball, and it doesn't react like that at all, well the Infrared definitely does everything that 900 Global set out to design. It truly fits right in between the Truth and X for me. The stronger cover and core allow it to be stronger than the X, especially when the X sees heavier oil. The Infrared is probably 3 boards stronger than the X, but the motion of the infrared is stronger due to cover and higher diff core, whereas the X has a much lower diff. By the way my Infrared and X C are drilled the same. Pin over bridge (5 inches from axis) with no hole.

Now as for the Inception Pearl. The original Inception for me was definitely cleaner than the Dream Big Solid (Strong and Rolly). So I was really hoping to see a cleaner version of the Dream Big Pearl (One of my favorite balls ever). So far what i see is the Inception Pearl is cleaner through the fronts for me over my like drilled Dream Big Pearl. The Inception Pearl has more angle for me down lane, but it isn't uncontrollable. The Dream and Dream Big line were huhe sellers and great motions in our lineup. What i am seeing out of this Inception line are reactions that are slightly more down lane than as early as the Dream Big line. So for me that means more usable bowling balls. My Dream Big Pearl is drilled pin above middle with mass bias, half of an inch from thumb. My Inception Pearl is drilled pin in the middle finger with mass bias half inch from thumb. Feel free to ask any questions.

Not going to lie, I was hoping the Inception Pearl would be compared to the original Dream. That ball has been on my radar for quite some time.

Punch a Big pearl?

I'd rather have the Global R2X than whatever the Dream Big Pearl has. Seemed like the Big pearl was less midlane and continuation (since it was on the flippy side) compared to the regular Dream.

If I were to compare the Dream, Dream Big Pearl (DBP), and Inception Pearl (IP) I would have to say the IP reads much earlier than the DBP and in that respect it is similar to the original Dream.  However, I do find that the IP feels more flippy than the Dream.  That being said all 3 of them are flippy, but I felt the original Dream was smoother at the break.

If the Inception Pearl is flipper at the break point, count me out. My Dream is too much off the spot as is.

Sorry I am a little late to the discussion. I felt the Dream was one of the most angular balls I've thrown. The Dream Big Pearl was more midlane and not as flippy for me. Now on the Inception Pearl, so far I can comment that it seems just as angular as the Dream. So far I am a fan of the Inception Pearl.
