Has it technically been released to the public yet?
If so, what is/was the date?

There seem to be no place to put a review of it on ballreviews but in this forum. There is one review of it on Bowlingballreviews.com:

as advertised, more lemgth than the Break Series, with plenty of backend recovery. Pretty strong off the dry, yet not wild or over reacts like a pearl, very easy to read, carry was awesome, with plenty of control, that I would attribute to the 4000 abralon finish and the strong yet forgiving S-73 veneer. A very good match of cover and core. At 4000 it still covers alot of boards, just later downlane than the other Breaks.

Thanks Steve...would you say the backend on the BP is more or less than the original Break. I like the idea of the extra length as long as it doe not sacrifice the # of boards covered on the backend. My Break is very good...I just want a bit more length but with the same strong backend movement.

That was the target, more length than the Black Break and more back end

Stronger cover yet more length? That's interesting.

Opps, forgot that you altered the core numbers.

Might have to give this a try - they seem to have shortened our oil. Even with polish both Breaks (soild and pearl) are starting to move too early for me.

Like Phil stated that was the target for the Point, and they scored a "bull's eye"

How does the length compare to the Break Pearl?

golfnutFL · « **Reply #11 on:** March 03, 2009, 09:07:23 PM »

Break Pearl is longer. I never found the Break Pearl to be as hard on the "flip" side as advertised. The Break Point is not really a hard flip either, more of a hard arc.

Don't argue with an idiot people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

Well I tried mine last night on a medium cond. It was very clean up front and had all kinds of pop at the break point. I started at 13 to 3 and ended at 17 to 5 with pretty good carry 235,245,257 with 2 opens both 4-9 splits. compared to the break pearl I'd say slightly earlier with the same pop at the break point. Keep in mind I did polish it slightly before using it.

I got a PM from my buddy 'tekneek' wanting to know if I'd drilled my Break Point, and what I thought. I told him that the guys (no pun) probably wouldn't care to hear my review because it won't say it's the "biggest hooking-hardest hittin truck I ever drilled", then I thought what the heck I'll post exactly what I think and how I drilled the ball,...so here's the answer I gave Steve...

Steve: did ya drill your BP yet..?

Jim: "yeah, but people wouldn't like my review,..I wanted a ball that I could stay right with and not have to use a Link. I worked with Paul Fleming on the layout we can up with a 1 1/2 pin to pap, and 6 1/2Mb to pap. This has the pin between the ring and pin, and the Mb below the thumb, no hole. So I get what I want, a strong ball that doesn't overhook all over the lane,..does that make sense..this ball rolls early and heavy archs/down and in, lets me stay to the right a long time,..no longer trying to chase the oil with a skid-flippy ball,..aka PBA like Duke, Williams, and the guys they can stay straight,..this works great for what I see away from league,...so the review seekers might not understand,..jim"

So, I took a relatively strong ball, and drilled it to lay down early, there's NO skid-flip in this ball, the track flare is maybe 1 1/2" if that. Not exactly everyones 'cup of tea' so to speak. I recommend that if you decide to try this you do it with a used ball first..don't spend a bunch of money on a new strong ball, and drill it like this without first trying it,..you may be disappointed. But for me this ball will serve a purpose in my arsenal. That's why I didn't want to do a review, because this drill pattern is not normally what you see or read about...I love the reaction I get from this ball, it does exactly as I want it to do,..on our THS last night where I usually can play my Break Pearl or Bounty in around 17 to 10,..I was up 6-7 all night, with games of 256-235-267.. This probably won't be the first ball out of my bag,..but if I have to go to a secondary game plan I got just the ball. ps: ball was out box surface with a mini-shine just to smooth out the fronts,... jime

Punched a BP up on 3/3. Was covering the same amount of boards as my buddies Virtual Gravity, just a different motion. His was the old reverse 'C' and mine was more of the hockey stick affect. This ball does cover boards, because of the solid coverstock. I am totally pleased, and I was looking for something to cover are recentlty wetter house shot. Thanjs to Steve Brinkley for the expert drilling advice !
