Diva Pearl

The color scheme for the new Diva Pearl is definitely one that will grab attention. The bright neon pink and silver mix look great on the shelf and going down the lane, and the performance reflects that. I drilled mine 70 by 4 3/4 x 40. I wanted this ball to be a compliment to my Dude in terms of reaction shape. When I am throwing my Dude, which is my benchmark ball, and I start to see some weak 10s creeping up on me, i can pull out the Diva Pearl and the ball will save enough energy to make a big move in the back to kick out the corners. On a second shift house pattern, this ball is going to be the ticket. It will get through the choppy fronts from all the traffic, and drive through the pins like none other. When the lanes are fresh, the super-clean cover on the Diva Pearl can almost be too clean. This is why I suggest using this ball on medium-lower volume patterns. To use on a fresher lane condition, I recommend breaking the shine with a 2000 Abralon pad, and this will make the ball pick up fast enough, yet still maintain the strong backend.
