The Brunswick Quantum Evo line of bowling balls represents the evolution of technology through the history of Brunswick's Quantum series of bowling balls. The Quantum Evo Pearl continues with the identifiable mushroom-shaped core. The mushroom-shaped core found in this ball has been modified to include flow-through channels that allow DynamiCore2 to move into the core which helps with adhesion as well as durability and the ball's hitting power. The technological advances with this ball introduce DynamiCore2 which creates the same thick shell effect without the need for an actual thick shell allowing easier revving and more versatility. The Brunswick Quantum Evo Pearl features the QCS-24 core is the original mushroom-shaped core that has been modified to complement the Pearl coverstock. This core has a higher intermediate core value that is perfectly paired with the shiny cover of the Evo Pearl because of the higher response to friction.

Likes: This is one of the strongest pearls I have thrown. Pretty neutral drilling and it still went sideways down lane. So clean in the front. Absolutely zero deflection thru the pins. This ball will be a perfect compliment to my Web Pearl. When the Web just isn't enough down lane This will be the go to ball. This is my "Wow" ball in my bag. I haven't experienced that miss left and watch it hydroplane down the lane with the Evo Pearl. Awesome piece from Brunswick. This ball is my definition of a "10" .
Dislikes: I can honestly say I have nothing negative to report from the Evo Pearl.

Likes: I would say that this is one of the strongest pearls I have thrown in a while. Went with my favorite layout (pin down). It was pretty clean through the front part of the lane and continuous through the pins. I messed with the cover a bit and ended at 2000 abrasion by hand, it now has lane shine.
Dislikes: none yet, but I will keep y'all updated if this changes.

I have to admit I was not the biggest Quantum fan in the past, having a slower ball speed and lower rev rate. The core design and higher RGs didn't fit my game very well. But this ball with the new modified mushroom core is a game changer. It gets into a roll earlier and continues through the pins beautifully. Also this ball and the EVO Solid mare the debut of Dynamicore 2.0 to improve hitting power.
I've found it to be versatile on a variety of patterns and angles. It is a fairly strong cover compared to a traditional skid/flip hockey stick pearl but fits in my arsenal nicely with a shape I didn't have before.
I have complete confidence in this ball every time I use it, and I think you will as well. Mine is drilled with the pin just below the bridge between the fingers, but still clears the fronts easily.
You won't be disappointed with this piece, it will absolutely make a difference in your game.

The Brunswick EVO Pearl is a big hooking Pearl that isn’t afraid of oil. This ball is the first pearl ball I have thrown that hooks in the center of the lane on normal house conditions. I like this balls recovery when I trow it to the dry and I like its hit when I miss in the puddle. Don’t miss out on this one if you are looking for a new pearl.

The Quantum Evo Pearl is another one of the strongest pearls I have thrown in my career. The Evo Pearl with it's new coverstock technology and Dynamicore2, this ball is great for tough, flat sport patterns. The Evo Pearl has a strong midlane roll with a big angular backend motion. The Evo Pearl and Evo Solid will be a perfect 1-2 combo for tournaments

The Quantum Evo Pearl is a very strong revving pearl for moderate lane conditions. I tend to use this one after the stronger midlane reading balls start to hook too early. The pin carry of Evo Pearl tends to be very good and it works very well on our house shot. This Quantum should be a great ball for those with faster speeds or lower rev rates. This one clears the front part of the lane but stands up very quickly down the lane and goes left quickly. If you are looking for a pearl ball that will hit the friction and come back strong, the Quantum Evo Pearl is for you.

Went with a strong pin up layout on my Evo Pearl and the word that I need to use to describe this ball is dynamic. The shiny cover gets me through the fronts on medium oil or better, but this core really revs up and wants to make a move once it sees friction.
Compared to my Zenith Pearl, the Evo Pearl is similar in length with a much stronger response off of the friction allowing me to get deeper and get steeper with my angles. I have rarely found reason to use this ball on patterns shorter than 40' (other than going coast to coast on burn) and have had a lot of success on longer patterns. The strong core and move at the breakpoint help me around the corner when playing tighter angles on long oil. This ball has found its way into my tournament bag almost exclusively for when I am playing inside angles and/or on patterns in excess of 40'.
House patterns have been a bit hit or miss for me. I typically find that balls which roll earlier and don't make such a defined move down the lane maximize my score when there is more of a stark transition from oil to dry. The Quantum Evo Pearl is neither early or smooth making it just too much bowling ball for me on a house pattern.
This is a ball which I would recommend for bowlers looking for help seeing back end motion on medium-heavily oiled lanes. The Evo Pearl will be a favorite for bowlers with a rollier type release, softer speed or encountering patterns of higher length.

Brunswick EVO Pearl is a great powerful pearl ball out of the Brunswick line. It gives you the length you need out of a pearl with a very strong shape down lane. Once it reads the friction (dry), the hitting power is strong through the pins. This ball works good with surface and depending on lane conditions, can be the first ball out the bag.
