Break Point Pearl and Bounty Hunter videos are now up and running (links below)! Lunatic video coming soon... but there is a special two-shot preview in the Bounty Hunter video
My take thus far:
Break Point Pearl:
If you liked the Break Pearl, but found it a touch squirty on some oil patterns, you'll definitely like the Break Point Pearl. A strong, versatile pearl... you can make it play some pretty sick angles, but it's not just your everyday "long and strong" ball, because even in my limited play with it thus far, I can definitely see more versatility. Mine's drilled 5.5 x 5 (just like my Break Point, for comparison's sake), and the surface was left OOB. Video was filmed on older synthetics, fresh THS.
Bounty Hunter:
As much hook as the AMF Mega Friction, with more angularity at the break point. If a MF and a Break Point mated, this is what you'd get -- a ball that simply makes you say "holy $#i%, did that just recover?" Admittedly, marketing hype can blow a ball out of proportion. Yes, this is "just" a bowling ball. Yes, it hits hard, just like most high performance products on the market. But the bottom line here is that 900G has found a core and coverstock combination that makes for a big-hooking ball that both handed and less-handed players might find use out of. For now, I've left mine OOB -- and while I'm tempted to play with the coverstock, I kind of like mine too much the way it is. I figure I'll save it for heavy patterns and take advantage of a look nobody else has
Video links (note: Break Point Pearl is currently a lower resolution than originally intended... YouTube was being glitchy. Will attempt to solve problem soon, but at least it runs smoothly now!):
