900 Global XPonent Pearl Bowling Ball

Orientation: Right Handed Rev Rate: 400 RPM Speed: 16-17 MPH PAP: 4 ½ over and 1 1/8 up Location: Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO Pattern: High Volume THS VLS Layout: Layout 1: 4 5/8 x 4 x 2 ½ (pin above bridge) Layout 2: 4 1/4 x 4 x 4 1/8 (pin below bridge) This one is simple. The Xponent Pearl is a pearl version of the Xponent. If you liked the OG but wanted a pearl, look no further. My Xponent was rounded and smooth and continuous like a solid should be. As such, there were times it wouldn’t hook enough downlane. The Xponent Pearl solves that problem. It’s clean and it jerks accordingly downlane. There’s not much else to say, if you’re an Xponent fan this is a must have!

900 Global – Xponent Pearl Patterns used for review: Pattern A1: 41 Ft 27Mls 8:1 COMMENTS LAYOUT: 5X4X1, I used multiple hand positions and speed changes which changes rev rate, read and speed of ball. PLAY The 900 Global Xponent Pearl. Definitely worth the read. Something you need to think about as far as a bench mark mid ball in your arsenal that is a pearl. Pattern A1: The Xponent isa favorite of mine. Typically, I carry one at 2000 grit and the other 2000/polished. When the Xponent Pearl came out I was excited to add that one element for pattern transition without making to many adjustments as the pattern developed. Initially the XP was smooth and strong off the spot one the fresh. Easy to get down the lane and a strong move to the pocket. I decided to take out a 2000 Xponent and Phaze II to transition the lanes a little faster. After 4 games and other bowlers on the lane the XP was brought out again. The XP definitely shined more so at this point than on the fresh. The control and recovery showed me its strengths as the pattern transitioned. The Xponent Pearl will actually move up ahead of the polished Xponent and free a space in the bag. The XP responded to speed changes without reading the pattern to quick and transitioning. The XP actually became better as the pattern continued to transition and the cover started to break in. LOW DOWN: The Xponent Pearl is a ball that fits nicely in the middle of the arsenal for all bowlers but won’t penalize lower/slower speed/rev players. Definitely a great league ball. More to follow on challenge and sport patterns.

The Xponent Pearl is a new addition to the 900 Global line. This bowling ball features Shrapnel 2.0 Symmetric Core and the Reserve Blend 702 Pearl coverstock. I have thrown this Xponent Pearl for a while now and it has taken me a little longer than expected to figure out where this bowling ball fits best in my arsenal. With the medium differential available in this core of the Xponent Pearl, I drilled mine with my typical pin-up layout: 65 x 4 1/2 x 30. I have never thrown the original Xponent, but it appeared to be early to me and I think the same translates to the Xponent Pearl. The core wants to rev-up pretty early making the ball come off the line sooner while the cleaner coverstock tries to make the bowling ball skid further down the lane. Putting a little bit more surface on my Xponent Pearl seemed to make the bowling ball “read” the lane a little bit smoother and more consistently. I believe this bowling ball will look very good on higher friction lane surfaces and/or patterns that have some friction built-in. I believe that the Xponent Pearl, because of the earlier core, could also work well on the patterns that have a lot of volume in the middle part of the pattern. Finally, I think bowlers that are looking for a weaker alternative to the original Zen, will really enjoy throwing the Xponent Pearl.

With the combination of the Shrapnel 2.0 Core and the Reserve Blend 702 Pearl reactive coverstock, the Xponent Pearl proves to be an essential powerhouse that belongs in any straighter player's arsenal! So, let's take a closer look at what's behind the fantastic results I found with the 900 Global Xponent Pearl! The proven Shrapnel 2.0 symmetrical core has the essential benchmark reaction we straighter players like to see. I found the Shrapnel 2.0 to be smooth and consistent as it rolls through the mid-lane, and most importantly, I liked how the Shrapnel 2.0 is predictable and precise off the pattern. Although it is a symmetrical core that will rev early, the Shrapnel 2.0 builds a strong momentum as it heads down the lane without losing its gusto and makes its turn towards the pocket. So, I found the Shrapnel 2.0 a great blend of rev and power, making the Shrapnel 2.0 a well-balanced core that delivered results. The Reserve Blend 702 Pearl was super clean from my first roll with the Xponent. And for my straighter, higher-speed, low-rev game, it was a bit too clean and long with the factory Reacta Gloss finish. So, I took my Xponent to 1500-grit Abralon, followed by Storm's Rough Edge Polish, and my Xponent Pearl lit up the lanes! With the correct surface adjustment, my Xponent was clean in the front part of the lane, smooth in the midsection, and easily blended the back end. I especially liked that the Reserve Blend 702 Pearl provided a predictable motion as the lanes started to break down. And I also liked how the Reserve Blend 702 Pearl blended those spotty conditions without being over-sensitive as the night continued. The Xponent Pearl is a great game two and three ball you can count on while still staying in your comfort zone! In conclusion, 900 Global has produced a winner with the Xponent Pearl. And what makes the Xponent Pearl well worth the purchase is its excellent functionality. The Xponent Pearl is smooth, clean, and predictable, making the Xponent Pearl a decisive choice on its own. Yet, with its benchmark look and roll, the Xponent Pearl would greatly complement the original Xponent. Combine the original benchmark Xponent for fresh oil and the benchmark Xponent Pearl for dryer lanes, and you will have an arsenal that will score results! So, stop into your local Storm VIP Pro Shop today and have your Xponent Pearl ready to roll! It is well worth it! Rick Klimowicz Storm Products Pro Shop Staff Roll the Ball Pro Shop Penndel, PA

Layout: 4 1/2 x 4 x 2 The Xponent Pearl takes the original Xponent and changes from a solid coverstock to a pearl. If you liked the Xponent, the pearl is the same core, the same 702 series coverstock, but in a pearl version. The pearl is an excellent ball down from the original when the fronts start to burn up. While the original read the midlanes well, the pearl gets much further down the lane and has a much more angular shape than the original. This is a great third game ball or later in the block on heavier tournament shots when you need to get the ball further down lane. My Specs - Speed - 16 mph, Rev Rate - 315. PAP 5 1/8 x 7/8 Up.

Bowler Specs: Right Hand. PAP 5” Over 1/2 up Rev Rate 300. Tilt 20. Rotation 50. Speed at release 17 Review: If you are looking for a very medium and very controllable pearl, this may be the ball you want. The new Xponent Pearl reads the lane sooner than I would have expected form a pearl. The Xponent Pearl also has a more controllable shape down lane than I expected from this pearl cover. I personally would have liked to have seen a bit more backend from this ball but I know this would be against the design intent. I also did not feel the ball was forgiving for my style and I had to be more precise with my release. I did let a no thumb bowler try mine out (still with my thumb hole in it) and he saw better results. He had more area but with the same control. This is a good looking benchmark ball to build an arsenal around. I would put this ball between the RIP and Sublime in total hook. Summary: The Xponent Pearl has a very nice smooth motion. This ball should not be jumpy or erratic. High rev bowlers needing control may really like this ball.

This core features a low rg and medium diff core creating a smooth predictable shape. With the reserve blend 702 pearl cover this gives the ball a cleaner more responsive shape compared to the original Xponent. This ball will fit a variety of bowlers with the higher rev rate bowlers getting an option to open the lanes when they start to break down. For the lower rev rate bowlers this will give an option when they get dry and you need something to clear the fronts. Get yours today at your local Storm VIP Pro Shop.

The 900 Global Xponent Pearl features the same Shrapnel 2.0 symmetric core as the original Xponent, but this time it is wrapped in the Reserve Blend 702 pearl coverstock. At 15 pounds, the RG is a low 2.48 with a differential of .042. Drilled at 5x4x2 (pin above middle finger), the pearl Xponent is a great compliment to the original. The pearl cover finished with Reacta Gloss allows this ball to clear even the dries of heads with ease. The Xponent pearl has a much stronger backend reaction compared to the original. The pearl is about 3 to 5 less boards of total hook with a much more defined motion on the backend. The original Xponent is a great benchmark ball, it won’t wow you with amount of hook or angular backend…it just provides a consistent, controlled reaction. When the solid Xponent starts to lose its hitting power and you leave those weak corner pins, switch to the Xponent pearl in the same part of the lane and get back to striking! These two balls make a great one, two combo for medium conditions as well as most league conditions.

Dual Angle Layout: 55 x 6 x 35 Storm Vector Layout: 6 x 4 1/8 x 2 ½ The Xponent Pearl is everything I expected from the Xponent line. This ball is the perfect complement to the original Xponent. This ball and clean and continuous on the backend. This is my go to ball when the lanes start to burn up and I need a ball to get through the fronts without loosing energy in the back end.

The 900 Global Xponent Pearl is the newest addition in 900 Global's lineup. Following the successful path that the Xponent has paved in smooth controllable ball motion, the Xponent Pearl shines as a symmetric pearl that pulls on those same strings. The 702 Blend Pearl that wraps the Shrapnel 2.0 core provides strong but consistent ball motion after the front part of the lane starts to dry up. While I see a much more defined breakpoint shape from the Xponent Pearl, it is still easily repeatable and controllable. Compared to the Roto Grip Attention Star, the Xponent Pearl revs up much faster and provides more board coverage. The Attention Star is much earlier and smoother. I can see the Attention Star being used on some higher volume patterns while adding some surface to the cover to blend out the wet/dry. The Xponent Pearl brings a solid 2-3 punch following the Xponent in the bag.

I started off my Xponent review with this statement, “I have some strong words for this ball!  The Xponent has risen to the level of my favorite benchmark ball EVER!” The Xponent Pearl does NOT disappoint either!! I really have to compare the Xponent balls with the Idol and Idol Pearl. Both of those were balls that I used for a long time and drilled multiples of both. The same will be said with the Xponents. They just give me shapes that match up so well will my ball roll and speed. But the funny thing is, I have drilled a ton of Xponent’s for people and they all say the same thing. It really is one of the best benchmark balls ever and THE best I have ever thrown. Xponent Pearl gives me a slightly cleaner and more angular motion than the Xponent and lets me continue with that shape for an entire league night. Once you get to a certain point at our place, you just have to get out of the solid and get into a pearl to create more angle. This ball is spectacular on its own and amazing as a 1-2 punch with the Xponent!

The newest addition to the 900 Global 700 blend line is the Xponent Pearl. The Xponent Pearl features the same core found in the Xponent wrapped around the all new 702 pearl blend. This ball is a great step down from the original Xponent, this ball is cleaner and more angular than the first release of the Xponent. I think that this ball will be a staple in the bag. The ball is strong enough to throw early in blocks, yet versatile enough to throw as the lanes break down and you need to move to the inside part of the lane.

900 Global Xponent Pearl ball review: Bowler specs: 15.5 mph and rev rate in the 380’s and my is PAP is 3 ¼ and at zero up/down and tested on Pro-Lane at ABC North Lanes in Harrisburg, Pa. Ball specs: Shrapnel 2.0 symmetric core with the reserve blend 702 pearl cover, with box finish with Reacta Gloss. With adding the Xponent Pearl to the 700 series in the 900 Global line, it gives a ball with RG and Diff numbers that are not available in the Roto Grip or Storm lines of bowling balls, it adds a look that most league bowlers need. The Shrapnel 2.0 is an early revving core and for me the original Xponent was a little flat in back end reaction for me during league. The Xponent is better for me for flatter and challenging patterns because of how smooth the overall reaction is. For the pearl version, it gives a completely different pearl motion of the Zen Gold Label and I am able to shape the shot better because of the RG and Diff numbers. Where the Zen Gold, went longer down lane because the backend reaction would kick in, it tended to not recover quick enough for me on the Pro-lane I bowl league on. As you can see on my YouTube video, the Xponent Pearl and enter the pocket at a bunch of angles, which would allow all different level of bowlers enjoy striking A LOT with the Xponent Pearl.

This is a ball I have been waiting on for a long time. Ever since the Idol Pearl was removed from the lineup I been looking for its replacement on the lighter to medium oil conditions. A lot of the other benchmark pearls I had found to be too smooth and not angular enough. The Xponent pearl is that ball. When I look to bal down in league I nave exclusively been going to this as my first option. This is a ball you can drop to on the stronger asymmetrical solid and pearls as well as the symmetrical solids and/or pearls. This is a bowlers ball and should be in everyones bag.

Hey everyone, I'm back with another ball review, and this time it's for the 900 Global Xponent Pearl. At 14 pounds this ball is wrapped in the Reserve Blend 702 Pearl Coverstock and has the Shrapnel 2.0 Symmetric Core, used in the XPonent Solid Core with an RG of 2.49, Diff of .042. The layout for this ball is 4.5x4.5x1 Now that I have thrown this ball I have found it a very clean ball and is a great ball down from a ball like the Attention Star. In league we have a wet/dry shot and I stay near or near the track and when the Attention Star burns up the Xponent Peal is a great step down and allows me to stay in the zone that I was playing. This will be a ball that will be in many bags especially if you are a tournament player. This will be a ball used a lot in league, maybe as the game three ball or in a tournament it will be later in the block ball. To go along with balls like the Storm Summit and as I have said in other reviews being more speed than rev dominant I have found this ball to look best going straight down the track. The Xponent Pearl is not as rolly as my Summit so I did have to start moving left as I threw it. I have thrown it against the 900 Global Zen Gold Label as well and had to move right as the Zen GL is a shiny pearl with React Gloss.

layout: 5 x 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 surface: Reacta Gloss The Xponent pearl brings back the Shrapnel 2.0 Core combined with the new Reserve Batch 702 Pearl Coverstock. Designed for medium oil, the Xponent pearl will be one step below the Zen Gold Label in terms of total hook. I got to test this ball on a 44ft Typical House Shot and a 42ft Sport Pattern. The Xponent pearl's primary use is for medium oil conditons which means on most typical house patterns, wouldn't be fantastic on fresh oil. For me, I found it to be too weak for my style to be great on the fresh. It was very responsive to the dry and had trouble picking up in the inside oil. It is however a great step down from the Xponent Solid as it gives a few more feet of length and a more angular backend. The xponent pearl was great in transition after the Xponent became too slow down the lane. I was able to stand in the same place on the approach and use the same line on the lane to continue to strike. The Xponent Pearl got through the front of the lane easier and backended much harder. It was actually pretty surprising how well it read the lane front to back. Bowlers should get the Xponent pearl if they have the Xponent Solid and are looking for a cleaner and more responsive option or as a ball down option from the Zen Gold. On the 42ft Sport Pattern, I was again pretty surprised how well the ball read the pattern considering how much more volume there was than the house pattern. As expected though, the ball was only usable in the transition phase of the pattern. It was a better second transition and step down from the Zen Gold. The Zen Gold was overall stronger by a few boards and more angular down the lane. It was easier to use the Zen Gold after a ball such as the Harsh Reality than the Xponent Pearl was. As the lanes broke down more from the Zen Gold, the Xponent Pearl really came alive. I was able to move into the oil more while allowing the ball to utilize the drier conditions that I had created. The ball continued well and angled well through the pins. The Xponent Pearl I feel was designed properly based on its specs. It is definitely better for use on medium to drier lane conditions but due to the lower rg of the core, it can handle a little more oil if you remove the reacta gloss. The most optimal use for this ball in league would be game 2 and/or 3 depending on your style or conditions and more of a burn type ball for sport tournament conditions. Adam Chase Storm Staff

This ball is by far just as big of a sleeper as the original XPonent. To get this reliable of a ball for the price point in the line is amazing. Very clean similar to the Summit Peak but a touch smoother on the back ends similar to the Sublime.

Xponent Pearl Cover Stock: Reserve Blend 702 Pearl Finish: Reacta Gloss Core: Shrapnel 2.0 Symmetric Review: The original Xponent is one of my favorite balls to throw when the lanes start to break down. With the new Xponent Pearl that is still true but with the added pearl cover stock you will see a cleaner look through the fronts with more backend motion. This ball is great for beginner bowlers who are looking to get into something a little more than their typical entry-level ball. This ball also will match up with your higher-level bowlers as well, giving them the option to have a ball that can be used as the lanes start to get burned up after a long tournament. Make sure you grab one and put it in your bag today! Will Tefft 900 Global Staff Member will@parklanes.net www.900global.com

The Xponent Pearl features the same great core that made the original Xponent a staple in so many bags, but now wrapped in a pearlized cover. The first thing that jumped out at me about the Xponent Pearl was how much quicker it shaped off the friction. Many times a pearl cover will help create length but it doesn't always translate into faster response. The other thing that blew me away was just how much more the Xponent Pearl hooked than its predecessor. With the same layout I was a couple boards left and really having to watch my angles down-lane. the house pattern in my home center is very cliffed and the front panels have a lot of built in friction so it makes it hard to throw a ball that will smooth out the down-lane reaction without hooking too much in the front. On a fresh lane I felt I had to be perfect for the ball to not over or under read. My 2nd outing went much better when I figured out I could play a little closer to the friction if I got my hand around it more to spin it through the front. I feel the Xponent Pearl will match up very well for speed dominant bowlers who sometimes have trouble getting the ball to shape down-lane when they have to open up their angles. I could also see it being very useful on some sport patterns where a ball that creates so much shape in such a small window is needed.

The Xponent Pearl is a shape we've been missing in the SPI lineup! The medium differential and low RG provides a lower flaring option that still revs up in the midlane. Paired with the cleaner pearl coverstock, this ball is perfect for those hooking house shots. This ball for me picks up in a similar spot as the IQ Ruby, but the Xponent Pearl flares more so overall it can handle a little more oil. If you like the IQ series but feel like you need a little more core, or if you feel like you need a step down from balls like the Summit Peak or TNT Infused, the Xponent Pearl is the perfect ball that fills a gap really well.

900 Global Xponent Pearl Layout 5 x 4 x 2 Style – stroker Ball Speed – 14–15 mph at pins Condition – house pattern - older HPL surface Surface – box condition The Exponent is an extremely useful ball in my arsenal. I always refer to it as a stronger IQ Tour. When the Xponent Pearl was announced, I was immediately intrigued to see how the two complimented each other. The Pearl is obviously cleaner and more responsive than the solid. But what surprised me was it was still more ball overall. Targeting in the same area of the lane, I had to move my feet 2-3 boards left to keep it on-line. Can’t say I was expecting that kind of difference. Typically for me, it’s a 2-3 board right move when switching from a solid to a pearl of the same ball. Easy length with a defined and controllable motion for me. Other reviewers are speaking to the angular motion off the end of the pattern. Always specific to each bowler’s style how some see smooth, and some see angular. Either way, I can’t see any style that couldn’t benefit from this ball. For the league bowler I could see the Xponent, Xponent Pearl and a spare ball as a tremendous three ball arsenal without breaking the bank. Highly recommend this bowling ball.

Xponent Pearl Cover: 702 Pearl Reactive Core: Shrapnel 2.0 RG: 2.48 RG Diff: 0.041 My layout: 5 x 2 The X Pearl is a Pearl symmetrical ball that I see working best on med-dry conditions. The pearl 702 cover on the X Pearl is super clean. It does a great job of getting through early friction and really likes to whip off the dry. The low rg core compliments the clean cover very well. Because of the length of the cover, the fast revving core translates to a fairly quick response motion down lane for me. I have found that the X Pearl is best when the lanes transition past the medium balls like the Zen or the TNT Infused. It allows me to get more shape without seeing any friction up front.

At that time, the Ordnance C4 was well respected and came with a hybrid coverstock. The newer Xponent has already made huge waves and now we have the complementary Xponent Pearl. The Xponent Pearl comes with a pearl coverstock, finished with Reacta Gloss. You can expect a clean reaction through the front part of the lane. From what I see, on the HPL surfaces I bowl on, the Xponent Pearl provides optimal length and backend on most of your THS conditions. First thing you will notice right away with the Xponent Pearl the OOB finish provides a nice clean through the fronts and continuous predictable motion. For a pearl offering this ball still has a touch of arc and more control for pearls in this category. The ball is very predictable which is the cornerstone of the Xponent Pearl. In my opinion the Xponents go through the pins a tad better then its predecessor the Ordnance C4. The Xponent Pearl will be a great option as a second or even third sym out of the bag. For me, I'm going with the OOB surface on the Xponent Pearl. The carry potential of this ball will be something special when lanes get tougher to navigate but solids become less usable as the shot goes away. So far I've been about three to four boards deeper with the pearl over the solid. I'm still testing a bit to see if both balls are permanent number ones in tbe bag.

The Xponent Pearl is 900 Globals newest 700 series ball. The Xponent Pearl features the same core found in the OG but is now wrapped in reserve blend 702 pearl. The XP for me is the perfect step down from the OG. Providing a cleaner but still controllable shape, it’s the perfect ball up for someone that loves their IQ Tour Ruby.
