Diamondback Pearl
« on: March 10, 2010, 02:01:31 PM »
Just got mine in today and will drill it this weekend. Has a 2" pin with 2.4ozs top weight. Going with pin below the fingers on the center grip line with the cg just on the positive side. My PAP is 5.5" straight across. Above average revs player with 16-17mph ball speed depending on the line. 16.5-17mph playing up the right side and 16mps when I move in and start playing more boards.

Current Big B arsenal is a Avalanche Pearl on a leverage pattern weight hole on pap, Wild Thing on modified Rico, Revolution Real Speed Pro on mod Rico, Revolution Zest on Rico, Chance Zone on Rico, and a Cold Fury on a leverage pattern with weight hole in 3rd quad.

The Wild Thing and Real Speed are a great combo for me right now. The Real speed has more angle on the backends and when I lose carry with the wild thing I switch to it and it picks up the slack. Curious to see where the new ball will fit.

If the Diamondback is solid Activator does that mean that the Diamondback Pearl is pearl Activator?

If that's the case, is the Diamondback Pearl just a renamed Rattler for the international market?

Could it have the Absolute Inferno coverstock instead of the Inferno cover, which is on the Rattler?

Activator+ was used on the Intense Inferno, Absolute Inferno, and Vapor Zone.

MoRich S&A and Awesome Rlip also had this cover, lots of overseas balls and the current Pit Viper (with a Swarm core).

From Brunswick:

ACTIVATOR PLUS Coverstock

The Diamondback Pearl â„¢ is the first ball with Activator Plus coverstock available at the Advanced Performance price point. The Activator Plus coverstock used on the Diamondback Pearl is a proven formula that provides strong mid and down-lane recovery, longevity of ball reaction, and unprecedented durability with superior resistance to cracking.

ROCKET Core
The Diamondback Pearl uses the proven Brunswick multi-sided Rocketâ„¢ core system. The Rocket core is a low RG core that aids the Activator Plus in mid-lane grip and back-end recovery.

Ball Motion
The Diamondback Pearl, finished at 4,000 Siaair Micro Pad, will provide excellent length through the front part of the lane. The core and coverstock strength give the Diamondback Pearl the potential for a strong, continuous backend reaction with remarkable pin action, on typical medium to oily lane conditions.
Reaction Setup
The Diamondback Pearl can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for symmetric bowling balls.

Check the numbers its not a Rattler. You will notice they (overseas) have all the same balls we do. They actually get more released then us like the DB pearl, Pit Viper, and Wild Hurricane.

I got it from px20162 on ebay. He had a Wild Hurricane listed and I asked about a DB pearl and he said he had one available. Should be a good ball. As popular as the DB is I'm surprised this wasn't released here as well.
